'Arcane's lesbian sex scene was almost even spicer and now fans are demanding the director’s cut
9-1-1? Yes, we would like to report a ROBBERY.
Just as Sapphic fans of Arcane have been celebrating the long, long-awaited romance between Hailee Steinfeld's Vi and Katie Leung's Caitlyn coming to fruition in the final episodes of the second (and final) season of the hit animated series. But now we’ve learned what we saw was actually a “dialed back” version of what could have been.
Series co-creator Christian Linke spilled the tea about his intended vision for the scene during a live stream with League of Legends streamer Necrit94.
Linke shared that the tasteful scene that the audience enjoyed was actually the “dialed back version," and that initially it was meant to be a longer version. When the Netcrit expressed his surprise, saying that the one we did get went on fairly long, Linke shared "Yes. We got a slap on the wrist. League of Legends [the video game which the show is a spinoff of] is going to be rated mature now."
The question this kind of admission always leads to is, is there the possibility of fans ever getting their eyes on the scene in its original uncut version? Linke joked that the extended cut of the scene is "probably on some French hard drive," as a potential director's cut.
The chances of that ever being released are likely slim to none, but it hasn't stopped fans from demanding it.
