Why did Ambessa side with Victor though? Surely she could see he was going to take over the whole world with his robots, did she think herself exempt? That they wouldn’t turn on her? That she would live forever in a world of robots?
Devil’s bargain for power. Her whole deal is the pursuit of power at any cost and that this power will always protect her. But in this specific case it is the pursuit of power that is her undoing, I’m ok with that. I’m also ok with fascists doing things that aren’t entirely rational on the basis of fascists not being entirely rational to begin with.
Why did Singed get himself caught? To lure Warwick to the prison? Then what? Was his plan actually to have it recognize Jinx and calm down? No, because he remarks he never expected that. So his plan was just to what? Die? It only worked out for him because of incredible plot contrivance.
Pretty sure he just wanted to lure the beast there and have it destroy everything, dude is just after nihilistic destruction.
The only character I sincerely do not understand is the alt-dimension thorn chains woman. But I suspect that’s something actual League players would understand more. Black Rose or something? I don’t know I don’t remember very well.
He very clearly is not. His motive is to bring back his daughter, and he has no moral scruples in doing so. That doesn’t mean he wants to nihilistically destroy things and go out in a suicide, that’s the opposite of his plan
Also yeah, the entire black rose / le blanc plotline was definitely a head scratcher. Why did Mel use them to defeat her mom but then go back and betray them to free her mom who then died anyway. Like wtf was that, felt like a bunch of unearned asspulls and pseudo-twists

They showed that Black Rose can posses/assume an identity to infiltrate/spy. I think they wanted Ambessa for that and Mel didn’t let them use for their schemes.
I don’t know what it was. To me it was some “magic mystics hidden in the shadows pulling all the levers of everything” thing like Dune’s Bene Gesserit but then it just felt like it was “AND THEY WERE DEFEATED” during the ending battle by the magic of pure willpower. Just shouldn’t have been in the story at all.
yeah I feel like that should have been a story and season of its own, and it should have been earned through a lot more cloak-and-dagger clever ruses. Instead, like you said, they’re defeated by essentially a Goku kamehameha just because, when it wasn’t even relevant to the overall plot if the Black Rose are defeated or not right now. Just let them shrink back into the shadows to lick their wounds.

Oh yeah that’s right he’s the daughter dude. I’m misremembering.
Then sure, that whole prison thing doesn’t make sense.
