Better intro than the last vol. M&K can nail it on her return or completely fuck it up, remember that. I think the background art got better. It's a wait and see to find out if this volume will fix the problems volumes 4-5 brought. I do have hope though.

So did I. I missed a bit of oomph regarding the camera work and sound design, but as long as I get my schlocky action I'm satisfied, and so far I am.

I don't really give a damn about the plot at all, but them going with the "reee adam is angsty" shit again kinda annoys me. I hope either he or torchwick/neo are redeemed if they're bringing them back.

> With how this has all gone, they could have had the fight from the intro here instead. Though I get the point of an action-y intro. Maybe have Grimm attack the station, then save more unique shit for a train-top fight? Unless we've done another flashforward and they didn't tell us. Fuck

> The way Qrow speaks sounds like Grim commonly attack turrets. If that's the case- why put the turrets on passenger cars? I get it's cost (lugging passenger cars with guns vs. lugging passenger cars and turret cars), but if it's as common an issue as Qrow acts like it is, why has it not been solved? Even I'm iffy on this complaint, since there is no real solution. Can't have a train ride in front to shoot them down since they'd be attracted to the mass of people rather than a handful of huntsmen

> "They might lose track of us". In a tunnel. And on railroad tracks. Most animals can work out where humans regularly go- Grim sure as hell could. Then again, Grim have been shown to be outright blind without a human attacking them or (presumably) having some negative emotion even when fighting them. But then that'd mean robots are better since they wouldn't pay attention to them at all if they're not being attacked and if they hit hard and fast- oh forget it.

> And the new intro shows the up close transformations of the weapons… And how they cheat with all the clipping. Not sure if they follow the season 1 transformations or these are the new models from the abandonment of MMD, but it looks bad.

< Grandma knows about the silver eyes.

< Qrow is gonna have a crisis of confidence and/or sink deeper into booze.

< The gang are gonna have to go through a cave/mine to get to Atlas. It'll have a Grim(s) with many tentacles.

< We're gonna learn more about Ozpin's past. Possibly his old "team" (most likely the inspiration for the 4-man groups in the academies).

< Ozpin is gonna know/do something that pisses off Jaune. This does show they must get back in communication for such a scene to happen, meaning the final episode could be bitter-sweet.

< Jaune: "Glad you survived the trip here." [Horrible Secret] "I've totally quit this adventure and won't come back to help next season for drama.

< Adam and possibly Neo are gonna show up for fights.

Overall, not bad. A lot of fixes were just to keep critics quiet, and I'm concerned that'll be their approach instead of learning. I just hope they don't keep fixing the problems a season later and understand how to build the world first.

From what I know little about world building it's probably best to leave it out and learn how things work, like culture and shit like that.

Besides all the plain nothingness, I was hoping they'll have a landmark or two like a remnants of a forgotten warwhere Grimm lurks around the trotted fields, an old tower or possibly anything that stands out.

I CLAPPED, I CLAPPED BECAUSE I GOT THAT REFERENCE

One thing that really bugged me about Qrow's scythe was that there's rarely any visual impact. Like, we see him swinging the scythe and the Grimm reacting to it, but the actual impact isn't clearly shown or even made audible. It kind of gives the impression of cheap kung fu movies where the camera is behind the mook getting punched in the face, where you see the good guy punching the mook and the mook reacting to it, but not the punch itself.

>They open with a callback to V3C1 moment. Ruby, who specializes in fighting groups of Grimm, gets distracted after shooting down 1 Grimm so Weiss can save her from a Grimm attacking from the rear.

>Ruby's turn to now save Weiss. How do you save someone from falling who literally can't fall? They've had this problem since V1 where, for the sake of a joke or a cute moment, a character will just forget everything they're capable of doing.

>There was no need to even mention Adam this chapter especially not with a scene like this. They keep this up and he'll be describing himself as a virgin with rage.

>Why does there need to be an "official story" for what happened at Haven? The place was deserted and the only Mistrali present, outside law enforcement, was Leo. If maintaining the goodwill of the public is a priority why not just a cover story for his death and nix the story about the "plot to destroy the CCT tower"? Why bother telling the public anything at all? Just tell the students their headmaster went on sabbatical or retired or something. It'd be harder to gripe about this if the attack was general knowledge and was in the news. But it's not and wasn't.

>They set up the problem of the turrets wrong. The first thing they do when activated is take out 4 Grimm in 1 second. Their effectiveness should largely free up the heroes to focus on the lead Grimm. But somehow the people panicking in the train is less of a draw for the Grimm than the turrets. We're also on video game rules where the enemies keep spawning until you reach a certain point. The turrets should be an invaluable asset in this situation.

Ruby did use the kickback once or twice behead/dismember Grimm- but overall your point stands.

>>36748

>Why does there need to be an "official story" for what happened at Haven?

I think they meant not telling people about the relics or Salem's crew. And covering up Leo helps keep faith in the academies and Huntsmen. But your other points in that sentence (and your posts overall) still stand.

> Funny how despite Nora literally throwing herself between Ruby and Yang neither one of them actually talk to her at any point in this scene.

It's a common complaint of the show- if it's not on screen it doesn't exist. It happens in fight scenes (even during Monty's reign to an extent) and especially in dialogue. It feels like a sitcom where- no matter how large the group- everyone focuses on one person talking. The convo between RWBY could be happening while we have JNR in the background talking about something. Then we focus on Nora talking about the beach, we have RWBY having some unheard background conversation. By not showing the people talking in smaller groups, dipping in and out of the other groups conversations, and those groups shifting and changing- it makes it less connected. Obvsiously there are scenes where everyone should be talking about the same thing in one big group (lamenting over Dee and Dudley, )

> Also sad they had to use a cocktail glass asset from the V4 charity function.

It's a fancy glass for a fancy drink, I'm not gonna complain about asset reuse like that. I am gonna bitch about having a glass that shape on a train that can rattle and shake around. It's not like a luxury train like the Orient Express (where they'd do shit like have the waiters wear pure white to show they would not spill anything and the ride was smooth). In fact, in the rare times trains do sell alcohol, it's usually in a cheap plastic cup and a can. Although I guess the focus of the scene is to remind us he's a drunk if they're gonna focus on that this season like the opening implies.

> At the very least Dudley's arm should have been bent in an unnatural way.

While the rules of Aura are inconsistent, I can see it reducing the impact just enough to still cause the arm bone to break, maybe tear some muscle, but for nothing to rupture the skin or have the break be so major as it can be observed/misshapen. But, it makes aura look super powerful. Compare the strongest hits people have suffered and walked away from (explosions, gunshots, swipes and slashes from monsters as big as dinosaurs) but this is the one that did the most damage.

You can't tell me that with how manipulative he was with Blake that he wasn't tapping that.

>Why does there need to be an "official story" for what happened at Haven?

You need to explain the extreme police response. Rumors are bad, and if you even look like you are hiding something, they swirl out of control. So, they chose little lies covered up by a big truth.

>No signs on trash or recycling cans, no signs indicating exits, the way to the ticket booth, or the tracks.

Was the last thread where someone posted the FF XV critique video where the youtuber says that it's really the little details that create a world? I'm glad I watch the shitty WEBM that kind anons post here: I can' see most of the shit that drives people batty, like them misspelling Branwen.

> He's millenia old, why would Dee & Dudley even be worth noticing?

They missed a good character moment here. Ozpin could have recognized one of them as a former student and remarked about how wrong he was about him. Or how the other had such a negative influence on him. Instead, we get a character-breaking "I hope he wasn't from Beacon."

>>36749

>Nice of Qrow to remind us he's a drunk and a screw up.

I was a little offended when he didn't comment about losing said drink.

> Why would you have faith in whatever new movement he may start?

Just restating it for effect.

> They've made them completely responsible for the security of the train and also thoroughly incompetent.

I'm going to defend this: Dee and Dudley are basically mall cops. They are security theater. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this was a relatively safe line. That said, your follow up about how the conductor should be in charge of defense deployment is perfectly valid.

>>36750

>If Grimm are attracted to the relic, what's happened these 2 weeks since it came out of the vault?

Again, going out on a limb and using my own creativity to fill in for bad writing: nothing happened because the vault had no effect on the relic. Mistral protected the relic from it's negative effects, and those effects aren't so negative as to have destroyed Mistral. This is consistent with them needing to protect the passengers: the godly artifact is not so godly that the train route was flooded with grimm, it just drew a grimm that normally would have stayed away.

>You need to explain the extreme police response. Rumors are bad, and if you even look like you are hiding something, they swirl out of control. So, they chose little lies covered up by a big truth.

From the way both of you responded I see that I worded that question wrongly. What I meant to ask was, why the Council's "official story" needed to be so close to a description of actual events? Given the state of things in the Kingdom of Mistral, as Leo laid out in V5C1, letting word get out that their had even been an attack in the heart of the capital and that it had claimed the life of the headmaster seems like a poor choice. With the way the events of V5 unfolded it seems like the Mistral Council would just keep mum about the whole thing. The general population seemed unaware that anything was going on at all. Seeing to the quick deportation of all those Faunus from Menagerie and facilitating RWBY & JN_R in their travels would also help keep things quiet. People tend to believe authority and maintaining the peace such as it is would be top priority. So rumours or not the choice just seems strange.

>>36751

>It's a common complaint of the show-

I don't know if I'll ever understand how they could put to personalities like Ruby & Nora on the same team and not play them off each other. But I can't go down that road or else this post will get really long and I've already made overly long posts.

Though I'm always going to ding them for sour characterization notes like in the V6C2 preview. Why the hell is "adventure girl" complaining about the train crash? I understand Yang being upset at Ozpin but the general whining seems out of character.

>Although I guess the focus of the scene is to remind us he's a drunk if they're gonna focus on that this season like the opening implies.

Given his role last volume I can only hope that he's separated from RWBY fairly quickly. Limiting his screen time will preserve whatever remains of his "coolness" if anything.

>Compare the strongest hits people have suffered and walked away from (explosions, gunshots, swipes and slashes from monsters as big as dinosaurs) but this is the one that did the most damage.

By the same token it can be argued that none of those blows left their recipients howling in pain and cowering in the corner. We can't go by Yang since her semblance works with strong hits, at least the hits she sees coming.

Also kind of strange Dudley didn't seem concerned about losing his weapon? That should be a big deal to a Huntsman.

>>36753

>You can't tell me that with how manipulative he was with Blake that he wasn't tapping that.

Best advertisement for not getting involved with Blake I've ever seen.

>I'm going to defend this: Dee and Dudley are basically mall cops. They are security theater.

But given what Huntsmen are and the position they occupy in Remnant I'd argue that they should never be the case. Not that their can't be greater or lesser skilled Huntsmen or even thoroughly corrupt ones but it really isn't the kind of field that you can fail upward in. Especially when the consequences of those failures is death of yourself and a whole lot of other people. Unless there's a Huntsmen officer corps we don't know about. Can Huntsmen licenses be purchased? Are rich & connected families getting them for status? Do kingdoms employ Huntsmen killing squads in case of emergency?

>nothing happened because the vault had no effect on the relic.

We'll see what Ozpin says next chapter but with all the magic involved I'd say there's only a slim possibility of that being the case.

So, they watched Star Wars and Coco too many times, and then made a character? I don't mind the Mexican old lady, but I do mind how heavy-handed it is. She doesn't quite fit the setting.

God, I hope they don't go down the Atlas is fascist America route and have some sort of "oppressed" Mexican stand-in group. Because what we really need is another poorly executed oppression subplot. Remember, Texas, you didn't steal that land from Mexico, you stole it from the Plains Indians that the Mexicans were terrified of.

Like a battered housewife, I came to watch the start of V6. I dare say it's an improvement over the last 2 volumes. Not by much. The action is still subdued compared to the Monty era. Adam should just be mercy killed since his character and badassery have been grounded into mush. It's enjoyable if you lower your standards to the bare minimum.

I also edited the rooster_ripper.py to have the videos convert to mkv instead of mp4 (as easy as changing .mp4 to .mkv in notepad, cause ffmpeg will do the rest). Doing all of this, I can get what I assume is the highest quality available for download.

I know some people hate flash-back episodes, but imagine if we had a reveal of Salem at the end of an episode, then the next was all the Salem content from now until then?

> And flash-back again I know I just asked for a flashback, but the timeline ping-ponged last episode as well. Do it as much as you can in one go. And joking about how they fucked up with the house last season.

> I do wonder if each relic will be based on a powerful relic from fairy tales. The Genie's Lamp, Excalibur, The Golden Fleece, a needle that causes sleep who knows.

> I think I hate it more for the fact they're doing it to combat critique. It makes the characters even more sporadic as to why they didn't probe for more questions before on many matters, and they don't demand many more answers now.

> And I actually agree with Ozpin's logic on why he kept the secret. Less so the "don't judge on one lapse in judgement" bit. There's a way it could have been said without invalidating Ozpin's role as "wise old man who is always right". Make the forgiveness a footnote and turning him into a martyr to inspire others and not cause more misery/grim attacks to the forefront.

> And I really like that twist about Leo not being "the first". The synchronized cape whip was a little off putting, but it surprised me. Actually wish they kept the double-voice overlay for highly emotional moments.

> God damn I'm gonna get shat on for this, but they've handled Ozpin excellently. Having him have many traitors/failed allies in the past would be the perfect reason to not explain everything and compartmentalize. Or am I in a minority here?

> WAIFU SUMMONS! Fuck yeah!

> Making it not a genie was actually smart though. Stops them wishing out of problems, or Ozpin having used the wishes earlier.

I hate to say it, if this was episode one of the new series, I'd be singing it's praises (not having a fight in episode 1 aside).

One of the biggest points we all miss about RWBY is that some other shows do just as bad in terms of plot-holes, pacing, characterization, etc. But we may not notice is because we're entertained. With entertainment, we don't nitpick. We shove snacks in our mouth and enjoy the show- whether it be intellectually stimulating or kick ass low-brow fun. In fact, a lot of stuff I complained about here is not a big deal, it didn't stop my enjoyment of this episode, and it wouldn't had made it more entertaining if it was "fixed" for me.

This was the first time I was entertained by RWBY in a long time. Lets hope they keep it up.

Glad to help!

I also should have mentioned that the mkv/mp4 thing is probably unnecessary, and as far as I know, it shouldn't change the quality at all, since they're just containers for everything, but I wanted to add that in there as another option. I prefer my things in mkv, since it's the superior format, but mp4 is more universally adopted, so some people may prefer or require that. I don't believe it should change anything substantially, but I also don't know the ins and outs of video containers, so I could be missing something. In the end, I just err on the side of caution and use mkv when I can. I just checked to be sure though, and I see no difference in quality.

I'm not too sure how you're using the m3u8. If you mean you're somehow watching it in VLC or so, then it's still going to have to download the video either way. The m3u8 just points to the video, but the video is still hosted elsewhere. So, it could be lagging for at least two reasons. One being that you're not downloading fast enough, and the other being that your computer can't play back the video fast enough. I'm going to assume it's probably your internet connection. If you do the thing I was talking about with RoosterRipper, then it should download as fast or as slow as you need it to. It will just end up as a file on your computer, and you can watch it that way. It downloads to your desktop by default.

All to engage in a bit of social engineering.

>Yang's words about trust to Ozpin ring beautifully hollow. Nice job Miles & Kerry, sincerely.

>And here we dive head-first into why Ozpin's attitude since inhabiting Oscar back in V4 has never made sense. Ozpin was betrayed and his host killed, a Maiden gravely injured her power stolen then killed, Beacon fell, and dozens maybe hundreds of citizens dead or injured, kingdoms on the brink of war, and instead of hunting down and removing the problem while finding out how bad the damage was he sat around a house for 2 weeks and then walked into a trap. He waltzed his new host body Oscar, Qrow, RWBY & JN_P into a trap he'd have to have been blind not to see, given how old he is, nearly getting them all killed. Yes the bad guys were incompetent but still it was possible that maybe the building would have fallen on them or they'd suffer the delayed effects of food poisoning or something. He didn't even have a plan when he confronted and stupidly revealed himself to Lionheart except to have Oscar uselessly smack the Faunus around with a stick until Weiss got skewered. And Ozpin knew Hazel was present before he revealed himself.

>RWBY sure are putting a lot of faith in Oscar's interpretation of whatever info he's accessing from Ozpin's memories.

>"What is Ozpin hiding from us?" Is one of the worst most non-specific questions one could ask about someone who's supposed to be millennia old. I'd think the shear amount of things Ozpin's hiding would be more than she could imagine.

>And the whole situation just feels foul. Like holding someone down and taking what you want from them by force.

Looking more like RWBY got snookered by the trap of easy knowledge/power. The Jinn/Djinn's attitude was a major clue. And Ozpin wasn't attacking Ruby.

I'm hoping that Kerry & Miles haven't incorporated that book Wicked into their version of Oz here in RWBY.

Agree about there handling of Ozpin minus the Lionheart thing but it does make V4 & V5 worse in retrospect.

I'm more surprised it's here and now. I'd have put money on it being closer to the end- if not the season before or during the final season. Building up the mystery around her before a pay off. Now we're gonna know exactly who she is and her motives for the rest of the story.

Given that her name is Djinn, I want to believe that the answer to "What is Ozpin hiding from us?" is going to be the least useful thing that Ozpin happens to be hiding from them. Djinns are notorious, in their own mythology, for fucking over the person asking a wish. While words are important to magic, wording is super fucking important to djinns.

I think it would be hilarious for one of them to see Ozpin's entire life, leaving them so overwhelmed that they can't give any specifics. One of them needs to see Oscar spanking his monkey and mumbling about Ruby. Make Blake see some Faunus genocide.

If fan theories are correct, we have a TON to see.

Salem's origin, the birth of the grim, the war of the kingdoms, the peace treaty that followed, Faunus persecution, the silver eyes, the fall of Mountain Glenn, Team STRQ's downfall- you could dedicate a whole season to each.

But I assume for brevity we'll just get Ozpin's origins.

Being Djinn (or Jean?) can only answer questions in a more oracle fashion, I don't think she'll do evil (she can only tell a person what they ask and we've got one question left). She's shown no malice, and may just do some playful teasing, joking, and flirting. But who knows. For all we know she used to be a person and Ozpin put her in the lamp. Grim are attracted to negative emotion after all, and 10,000 years will give ya such a crick in the neck.

> The Relic Of Knowledge Is Just A Semblance

In other words, in a world where "magic" is something more special than the super-power, he's arguing the relics and maidens aren't on that higher level. If you have luck manipulation, why shouldn't scrying be one?

Of course that's mainly down to how it's presented. And while I agree the maidens have looked pretty tame (not including Cinder during the fall of Beacon), I think the fancy visuals with the Lamp has helped sell it.

Oh lord that is gonna be hella difficult to balance lore wise. Ask anyone on /tg/ what happens when you take the potential of magic too seriously and you're talking about gods among men even with simple shit.

I think that her answer either needs to be utterly pointless, or it needs to cover everything (by which I mean Salem and Ozpin's origin, the Maidens, the McGuffins, the war, the king of Vale, and the Academies). Team STRQ's downfall would not be important to Blake or Weiss. And, the Grimm and Silver Eyes seem to be out of his league (I'm also okay with putting the McGuffins into the category of shit he found out about during his life but doesn't know the origin of; I'll be disappointed if the maidens also fall into that). Just getting Salem's and/or Ozpin's origin is a little too plot convenient.

>>36798

So, magic is broken and someone blew up the moon to kill a wizard living up there? Ozpin is actively preventing humans from learning magic because it would break civilization?

It would be delicious if Oz brought about technology powered by Dust, and thus the Faunus enslavement, in order to give humans the power to defend themselves from Grimm without magic.

That would make thematic sense the wizard of Oz was a man of science lying that he was a great and powerful wizard. Ozpin is a man of magic that lies to protect others (though could be argued he's being selfish since he has no faith in anyone). I don't think Ozpin would have been the one to make Dust work however.

Always a sucker for a Monty story, since they tend to be entertaining and informative. This one has the benefit of also answering a long-standing question about the lore of the show. Yes, there was actual thought given to how this Dust-based technology would work. With Monty's personality it seemed like a given but we'd never had confirmation until now. Shame nothing came of it.

I meant that only in as much as, say, someone showing that steam can be harnessed to power an engine. Using his superior knowledge, he showed people how to do magic-like things using this curiosity of a material called Dust. And his knowledge of magic gave him a heightened sense of what is possible in the world: instead of a dreamer trying to invent tomorrow, he is an old man trying to recreate yesterday (without the threat of nuclear –magical– destruction).

While the rookie artist sees concept art that doesn't go to use, and the accountant sees employee time wasted, the director sees exercises in flushing out the world.

Monty didn't have him draw the engine of a car to fuck with him, he had him draw the engine of the car to get him thinking about how the car works in the system of that world, and thus how that world works. I hope that one day he can look back and see how that experience helped him create better art for the series.

We're past the stage of needing to hide spoilers, but just in case

there's no logical reason a Dust Nuke shouldn't be possible. The fact that dust can have an explosive elemental reaction means you can create a lot of heat, cold, electricity, gravitational pull, etc. Combine any of the above with regular chemicals and you've got some nasty shit. Plus it kinda writes itself when you consider RT's anti-nationalist stance. Atlas has enough dust to sell to the world to stop them going to war, but they stockpile it and make missiles for when they go to war because they stopped selling dust. Nationalism r dumb, make bridges not walls.

Kind of late but, all they would need to add to Weiss and Nora is a fluff petticoat, a ruffled, layered thing that goes underneath the skirt or dress.

It could be everywhere, even underneath and it wouldn't even be out of place, whatever they're doing with the edge of the same dress is unusual - if that's what they're going for, it's probably aesthetic.

At least we can see the true 'Thigh High,' thigh highs, that's probably what they're going for, and it works because who doesn't like actual thigh highs.

My theory still is the fable about the Grim Brothers which Pyrrha Nikos implied[1], and how they fought each other to win Salem's heart, which spun the creation story Qrow exposed[2].

Salem, like her father, probably wielded magic to repel the darkness. Only few people could wield magic, thus kingdoms were formed. Maybe many humans coveted that power, and only those three remained.

I stopped watching this halfway. He assumes Salem can't ask the correct question to a Djinn. If her goal was the relics and the maidens [of the God of Light] a simple question is only required:

"How do I accomplish my goals successfully forever?"

It's a Djinn, it can tell you the perfect path to the goal accounting all possibilities in the present. It says nothing about the future if Salem does accomplish her goals: Oedipus complex.

I liked it. I'm not necessarily a fan of the lore, but the fact that at least the world is now grounded and basically all questions regarding salem, the maidens, the relics, why magic is a big deal, etc. have been answered in some sort of logical sense.

Some of the logic was a bit shaky though. The only reason Salem became what she did is because the gods decided to be dicks for the hell of it.

The presentation could have been more dynamic but in a long running series (supposedly RWBY can go on until at least volume 10), half an hour of necessary exposition doesn't hurt too much.

So after they wiped out the first humanity, where did the second generation 'non-magic version' of humanity come from? I assume evolution but then where did they get their semblances from? I guess they naturally developed their aura into semblance abilities as they became sentient?

> Also god is basically a Faunus. They were never gonna show Faunus in a bad light unless they were rogue individuals, but they are literally god's chosen by the look of it.

> Nice godly voice. Or not.

> Actually back up- the gang now knows god exists. How are they not going to have an existential crisis over this? Praying for all sins to be forgiven or maybe even trying to find this realm of light to solve Salem and all the other problems of the world.

> God that skeleton looks weird without cel-shading. I get not all objects get cel-shading, but some bits do.

> If you're the god of light- why let the god of darkness create anything? Even with you. He looks sketch as fuck. Oh, and the Grim are just hanging out. No fan-fare with their appearance. Imagine if we'd have seen Ozma and Salem fighting Grim- wouldn't that be interesting in our action show.

> Salem's reaction to Ozma being sent back down under was a little under-emotional- in animation.

> That's better! Much more godly looking. Could need a touch more glowing maybe. I dunno.

> That line read of "you monsters" sucked, but the tears in the eyes in the scene after was pretty cool.

> I actually like the punishment the gods inflicted on Salem. Sure we have meta-knowledge that making anyone immortal as a punishment is a good way to make a life-long enemy, but in creation myths, it makes some sense. Like this punishment would be enough to send 99.9% of people wailing in despair and cause introspection.

> Ruby didn't need to look at the shadow, but w/e.

> OK I don't like Salem being "neutral". She uses the Grim (creation of darkness) and looks straight up evil. I'm honestly shocked the dark god didn't make a backhanded deal. "Make darkness reign and I'll let you die."

> I do love her plan however. It perfectly matches what she's been doing so far- turn nation on nation by feeding their desires/twisting ideology. Though I feel you'd need to make a hell of a speech to convince everyone who has the gift of the gods to try and turn them against them.

> These .pngs can't work when it's something everyone would turn to face!!

> I do love the dark god's VA though.

> Also, what the dark god did seems overblown- especially after a speech on the balance of light and death. Again, if we saw Salem had all of humanity already on her side, sure. But even then, "we need to keep the balance. Unless they try to kill us which wouldn't work anyway, then fuck 'em." Light god didn't even flinch and called life "an experiment". If we were supposed to find these gods fair, then no. They are falable and fucking petty. Imagine being the RWBY crew seeing this. "Don't chase the heaven equivalent, god's a dick just like Satan! He'll punish all for the sins of one and basic human desires like wanting to live forever or keep loved ones alive."

> And the moon destruction was just a tantrum/fender bender. Why not say like "When you look upon the world in light, it's barrenness will remind you. When you look upon the moon at night, it's shattered state will remind you." At least make it grandiose. In fact at one point I was nearly gonna say the whole flashback was on the moon before it was left to turn barren/destroyed as the gods made Remnant.

Can you tell I rewrote this post while watching? That aside, some signs of arrogance/selfishness/willing to go too far for her would have helped sell what happens later.

> In fact, this goes further to show it would have worked better if Salem was working for the dark god on the sly (and he genocided against the consent of the light god, or just played dumb on what Salem was doing to save his own ass), so that the light god would use Ozma to stop her. Neither god wants to fight directly because of the universe-ending consequences, but both will use humans (Dark to further it's goals, and Light to keep the balance and stop dark).

> While the Light god is being a lying dick (Dark did it all, I couldn't stop him, really), I do like the logic of how them being absent stops the magic working.

> Artifacts look cool. Surprised only two of them seems to be a fairytale/myth artifact (lamp and sword. Unless there are famous crowns and scepters)

> Aaand now the maidens are pointless. Unless she hopes the Maiden powers combined can kill the gods. You know- the magic powers that were probably granted by the gods in the first place yet were somehow still working when they left. That worked so well last time. Hello plot hole- god I missed you!! Nothing can quell how angry I am-

> OZPIN WAS HAPPY BEING A GOD?! What the fuuuuuck?! Ok, I take it back, he made plenty of mistakes. Again, they needed to show more of them talking/acting to sell him falling into this temptation, and him ruling over humanity and what kind of god he was, but my god he fucked up bad. You'd have to hear what Salem said from a loved one to think "yep, this is what a healthy person would say." Scenes of Salem starting to hate humans and Ozpin realizing he's making shit worse by ruling/getting his memory back would have worked wonders.

A mixed bag- loved and hated lots of different bits with nothing in between. Kind of agree with >>36855

May have been better with no dialog from Djinn and instead we just had scenes of everyone talking and making it obvious what is going on. I think you could have still kept the episode the length it was. It sounds daft, but having a person tell a story leaves less interpretation open than witnessing it- even within a show. Imagine if after this we had the cast having conflicting view-points of who was right and wrong, or different interpretations.

Not to mention seeing Salem give charismatic speeches would help sell that she could twist humanity around her little finger and get anyone on her side. In fact, since we know we get scenes with Emerald and Salem later, imagine if we cut between her story to Emerald, and the true vision from Djinn.

But most of all, I'm really shocked how ambivalent the gods are. Ignoring Salem's motives, I get wanting to defy or kill gods if this is how they act when challenged.

The only reason Salem would have to find the artifacts is to stop the gods coming back (either destroy them or absorb their power or some shit).

If she's just gathering them (along with maiden powers that act as the key, maybe?)- why? Just leave them to rot where they are locked up. If you find out anyone is gathering artifacts (which all you'd need is a spy outside their hidey-holes or keeping an eye on the maidens) kill them then toss the thing to the bottom of the ocean or into orbit. Finding where something is hidden (even after Ozpin has moved it) is much easier than trying to take it out of that place. Salem wins by keeping Ozpin at a stalemate or constantly hiding the artifacts and she can keep whispering in the ears of world governments. The same applies if she wants to destroy them- keeping them hidden away and unknown stops anyone using them.

If she wants them so she can better rule over humanity- why? The grim do more than a good enough job to keep mortals in line, and a few disasters like the Vytal Festival should bring humanity enough to the brink to beg for any savior. She doesn't need more power, and trying to gather that power risks the gods coming back.

I'm hoping she doesn't want to kill the gods, because the strongest force we've seen is the maidens and their magic- the same thing the gods didn't care about before. And it's not like the Grim hurt the light god and something else special hurts the dark god- both are shown to be almighty. Maidens, Artifacts, Grim, Dust, Silver Eyes- Nothing should be able to kill them.

If she wants to repopulate the world with magic humans- she needs Ozpin. Falling shy of kidnapping him and tying him to a bed and trying to wipe out the magic-less humans (as outlined above)- she can't. Which means one of the prior motives must be it.

Ladies and gentlemen- our main villain's plan (world domination, deiticide, or genocide and replacement) doesn't work unless we get an asspull that can kill god, or she's being dumb. And she can't die, so we can't stop her aside from a heel turn.

No one could have made this make sense without some major re-writes.

>gods decided to be dicks for the hell of it.

You didn't study much Greek ethos. Hubris was the crux of this tragic tale. God of Light (GoL) granted her a merciful punishment for her hubris, immortality, which GoD agreed upon. They wanted her to "learn the importance of life and death (V&M)," and why Ozma seeked rest.

It's true, sickness hasn't been introduced in the entire story until today, but it can be construed Ozma seeked rest.

Salem didn't repent, and instead lead mankind betray the Godly order of V&M, seeking the curse&punishment of "immortality", lead GoD to destroy humanity itself with the gifts he had given them: Irony: "If you seek to destroy me with my own gifts, I shall gladly taken them from you."

The moon being destroyed is like the Bible's rainbow: a reminder to mankind that the Gods can easily wipe away humanity, just as easily as they were created.

Note, GoL did bring forth humanity once again. How is not explained, or the Fauness, Dust's creation, the maidens reincarnation, and why they are required for the extraction of the relics instead of Ozma. This does answer why the relics were separate, and keep being separated.

It's Ozma's fault for asking the wrong questions to Djinn. And in time, it will lead to humanity's downfall.

Who asked the first question these <100year cycle we know not. But we do know there's one question left the protagonists may not ask.

I won't lie to you guys, I actually enjoyed this episode a lot. Yes, I understand that this episode felt like a WoR video, but honestly with how it was presented and "carefully" handled, it was very entertaining to watch and intriguing to listen to. Honestly, what >>36856 has said is what I feel about the lore as well. However, I of course have some problems with this episode or at least some tidbits which have been stated in it, which doesn't make sense to me.

Although I have gotten used to the designs of the two godly brothers, they still look somewhat underwhelming to me or at least mainly the God of Light does. At first, I thought he was some type of reindeer-man, who has the ability to transform into a mystical reindeer or deer-like creature. Since deer to me can be portrayed as creatures of life, nature, and the wonders of creation, but instead, the God of Light transforms into a Shenron, because what's consistency.

>Due to Salem's actions, all of humanity is no more, they have been wiped off entirely from this planet.

<But yet somehow, the world still remains and humanity, despite being cleaned off from Remnant, repopulated themselves.

Huh? Am I missing something here, because this makes no sense.

>We now know how the moon was partially destroyed and looks the way it does.

Although it had taken them years to finally explain this, I disliked how it was done. Rather than having a grander explanation for the destruction of the moon, the God of Darkness just felt like destroying part of the moon, because why not.

>We now know why Ozpin needs to find the 4 relics.

Although this is cool, I can't wait for the """plot""" of the show to change once again, since soon we shall be on a quest to bring back the godly brothers, because why not?

>Salem is the way she is because the gods were dicks to her. haha.

>How come the 4 maiden children looks somewhat off proportionately? Or at least the oldest one does, her head is too large, but whatever.

>Salem

>Ozpin has gone through a plethora of reincarnations, which would explain as to why some of the previous carnations of Ozpin look underwhelming or bland design wise.

It's a small thing, but I actually somewhat like this, especially since it can go along with a statement that Ozpin has said a long time ago, "I have made more mistakes than any man, women, or child here on this planet." Miniscule detail, but it's still nice.

>And lastly Salem

This is all of what I can think of so far, but I have mostly enjoyed this episode, can't' wait for volume to go downhill after this.

Also, daily reminder that there is no beating Salem.

>>36868

Honestly, the could have just had it to where the gods re-created mankind again, but this time without their blessings and the gift of magic. But instead, they refused to explain how humanity came back.

Sorry, but one more post rather than slamming the door on what I thought.

I wonder if they should have saved this for the end of the season. Like the gang argues and makes temporary truces as they snatch the artifact back and forth. Maybe Dee and Dudley survived and overhear, and they try to snatch the relic, etc. Then we get to Atlas/that outpost, they ask the big question, and we get this episode (plus a more detailed fight between Ozpin and Salem for the finale).

Or maybe I'm just fan-fic writing so we can have a scene where Jaune asks in afterwards, asks if everyone is OK, and the whole gang just slowly turns to him shell-shocked.

After all, when this scene happens given past events makes sense. I am curious to see who will have millions more questions, and who is gonna try kicking Ozpin's teeth in even if he is in the body of a child.

I was hasty with what I said at the end of my last post.

Does Salem's plan (that we know of) make sense (for what we assume her plan is)?

Could megalomania and other ego-centric psychologies would legitimize going to the ends of the earth and eradicating anything that could stop her?

Neither do I. Since this is a world made by literal gods where magic and magical creatures exist, I suppose it isn't too far a stretch to say that there is something inherent in the humans of RWBY that gives them special powers for no real reason other than that it's just a biological function.

OK, that sells me a hell of a lot more on the idea. Which the show did a better job of it.

From the looks of it, Ozpin asked the questions every time. And probably slowly learned what to ask over thousands of years. IMO the last question we saw was the last question asked.

<But yet somehow, the world still remains and humanity, despite being cleaned off from Remnant, repopulated themselves.

> Huh? Am I missing something here, because this makes no sense.

You ain't the only one. If the gods had the Greek angle like the prior post said, you could have had both gods being dicks behind the others back (light leaving some humans alive/protecting them, while dark left his grim portal around). Just like Ozpin/Salem couldn't resist interfering, neither could they. It'sLikePoetry.PNG

> Although this is cool, I can't wait for the """plot""" of the show to change once again, since soon we shall be on a quest to bring back the godly brothers, because why not?

In fact, we still don't really know why Ozpin is gathering them. If he does, humanity is wiped out (in its current state). Why not attempt world peace THEN get the artifacts? The second he got his hands on the lamp he should have done something to stop Salem getting it (again, just like she has no reason to wield them).

In fact I just realized- Salem doesn't have her magic. No one does except Ozpin who will die if he does. She just has the powers of the dark god/grim. Which is still shit hot, but Ozpin still has a little bit. Yeet those fucking artifacts into the moon. Once humanity has peace, they can go up there and get them back (working together knowing they could get those blessings must make them build a decent NASA not reliant on Dust or make Dust work in space). Hopefully somehow stopping Salem during the world peace bit. But if she has magic you can't, but if she doesn't it's easier?

I have more questions. I love it and hate it.

It's because they see and judge things differently. One creates, one destroys. Both create life, and lead death. They aren't omniscient or fateless, and are clear this world is remnant of a former. They are still learning, just like humanity learns.

Probably the second generation of humanity appeared because of one of the shards of the moon landing on Earth (or landing precisely in GoD's creation pool). The first episode of RWBY did say something about man being borne from dust.

Since darkness god smashed the moon on the way out, it might be that he purposely sent some of it back toward the creation pool in order to create humanity. So Dust could be the moon-bits in general (which is why Dust Magic is a thing, since Magic is Darkness's gift), and the moon-bit that landed in creation-pool has both Darkness and Light, thus giving us humans.

Is it just to show a closer link between the maidens and relics or did Ozpin seal his own children inside the relics?

So far I am actually intrigued by this season's offerings, but I do feel that once we think about it, the cracks will slowly surface. I do feel that RT is trying to make Ozpin Sympathetic and have RWBY all "Aww it okay, we forgive you let's save the world. Ganbatte ne!"… but from the choices he made in the story, he doesn't seem to be interested with being a good leader or being for humanity rather just to stop his ex-wife from fucking shit up. Also, the kids they got are basically the Maidens magic. Better than the folktale shit we got… but…

>>36881

>>36885

Remember, in folklore Genies are tricky people. You gotta have to be precise in your wording to get your wish… or in the RWBYverse case, get the answer you're looking for. From the wording you described it seems that they are looking for a "Chosen One" ideal, as Ozpin cant defeat Salem… but other people CAN.

Basically from the looks of how the folklore is going, RWBY will be the chosen ones. I don't know HOW they will put it in the series… but from the looks of Miles and Kerrys writing. Either RWBY will get the Maidens' powers, or them represent the humanity doing the power of teamwork and friendship and shit.

>>36888

I wanna say he nitpicking, but yeah the emotional investment of Salem doing things for the D, her slow hatred for Humanity, and Ozma's feelings towards Salem and humanity would have worked better if we get them to be in a relationship and not be just summarized in 2 minutes. That would have been spawned better with a two-parter WoR special mid-season 5 and 6.

Since Grim are a creation of the GoD, I wonder if Silver Eyes are a product of the GoL, or even both of them once the Grim grew out of control/under Cinder.

Or it could entirely be dust/secondary humans. Then we'd have Salem with possibly maiden powers/relics (a being born from the powers of gods/magic) vs. RWBY (power of teamwork, technology, semblences and aura). Old and worship vs. new and freewill. You can only be free if you work together, divided your easier to control by other forces, etc. etc.

I realize that this probably has to do with RT's view on religion, or maybe it's an Oriental thing, but the GoL being such a douche (to my Western eyes) makes Oz look like an incredible tool for doing his bidding. Ozpin is TOTALLY doing something wrong.

Salem's curse is immortality, until she learns the importance of life and death. Ozpin can't teach her that, because he represents something she wanted to keep alive.

My guess is that some kind of Noble Sacrifice BS from team RWBY will teach her the importance of Life and Death and BAM! she dies of plot convenience, I mean the curse is lifted!

"We are aware of the criticism, and we ensure there's nothing wrong with the story and how pastly it's paced."

Salem's "Who defeated you?" question is already wrong. A strategists ask "how they were defeated", and that general was answering correctly: "The forces were split."

The technicality was "information leak." It was Blake's interception, discovery, and immediate action that conquered Cinder's plan. Her hastiness, and Salem's oversight.

Hazel is going to say Ozpin, since that's what he focused on, not Blake's reinforcement. If he says "the Belladonna family" I'd be surprised, especially how he got the intel.

Why is the music so distracting?

It was especially bad in the Volume 6 premiere episode.

It's one of those things that when you notice it, you can't, not, notice it.

Changing multiple times a scene doesn't really do anything anyway. Oh wow, the emotion or circumstances of the scene changed slightly, better play a different song now.

The music choices are at least appropriate.

Manfred by Lord Byron

Feel correct in saying that the knowledge the lamp offered was a trap. If there's one thing that's been clear since the start of the series it's that Ozpin wasn't recruiting soldiers. He had no plan to build up an anti-Salem army and would have put no one in direct confrontation with her. He recruited people to guard humanity and the relics. Can he be faulted for sparing them "the sorrow of knowing" things they cannot change and don't have the power to effect?

I'll leave off my planned criticism of the episode including its uneven cinematography. But will include my favourite clip that shows both the heights the episode aspired to and at the same time failed to achieve. Though I wonder what it means when RT has a watch party for this episode since in the past they saved those for the end of the volume.

So, 10minute episode of fake drama, and perhaps Salem or Cinder catches up to the group and succeeds in capturing Qrow while attempting catch Ruby.

Qrow punching Ozpin doesn't make sense even if he never had a plan to begin with, when he clearly always did: deterrence and peace with the nations by isolating the relics. The goal never was "defeat Salem," Ozma made that his goal. GoL clearly said to unite the relics when mankind was ready for judgment day, and they clearly aren't.

It's here the writing is showing it's flaws. Instead of Salem having a hissy fit that Ozpin is back so soon, and not within her plans, she should have been addressing how they need to now get the other relics not in Atlas since that side project is as easy as re-usurping James Ironwood's robot army. Two for the price of one project already won.

I think Raven and Taiyang will tag and rescue the other relics now that Raven is a maiden.

Salem's plan may horrible backfire if all schools are destroyed and are united against Salem for collecting the relics at so much damage.

Well guys, it was a good run, but I believe that episode 4 shall be the episode to where the whole volume goes downhill. Well, at least it was fun while it lasted, but I hope that I am proven wrong.

Because hardly much even happened in this episode, I mind as well give off my brief thoughts.

Spoilers!

>"WHATEVER HAPPENED TO NO MORE LIES?!" and shit.

>Qrow even decides to punch Ozpin out of anger because he trusted him for so long, but all for what and shit.

>Ozpin, no longer wanting to talk, literally hides away inside of Oscar's mind.

Man guys, I sure do love drama, aw man it is the best amirite? But on a serious note, which they didn't make the drama so melodramatic. I know that this is still an anime, but I was mostly laughing at that whole drama scene than being concerned for the characters, especially when Qrow punches Ozpin.

>Because the gang is being too negative, the old lady has to come up and tell everyone to get their act together and to continue traveling.

I actually like this, not gonna lie. However, I hate it when Ruby tries to talk seriously, it's sounds pretty annoying and off to me, but whatever.

>Oscar asks if he is going to be just another life for Ozpin. Ruby was trying to be positive, but Qrow states the truth.

I don't mind this tbh.

>Meanwhile, back in the Grimm World, the whole squad of evil is there to confront Salem.

>Salem asks how did they lose, Hazel was going to give her the correct answer, but then Salem changed the question, because Salem.

>>36904 This post sums this up nicely.

>Apparently Cinder and mainly Cinder was the reason as to why they lost that day because blaming a single person for the loss of an entire team is what you should do, clearly.

As much as I dislike Cinder, this doesn't make sense to me.

>Salem says how Cinder is actually still alive and should suffer in isolation as a punishment. The dude with the mustache logically asks how does Salem know Cinder is still alive.

>"ARE YOU QUESTIONING OUR DIVINE SAVIOUR?!"

>The question was negated.

What an easy way out of actually trying to explain something which should be explained. Not sure about you guys, but I would like to know how Salem knew that Cinder was still alive, especially after her fight with Raven.

>Hazel mentions how the team is now traveling with Ozpin to secure the ancient relic.

Raven isn't the person to sit around and do nothing. She was building an Army, against both Salem and Ozpin. Fled to Taiyang after consenting both Yang's words and ethos.

Recall why both Raven and Rose fell in love with Taiying, we saw exactly that when Yang was training with him: he's like Jean, a pillar to rely on, in the good and the bad.

Now with Raven, foremost lovers, they both know what's really important. If they rebuild Vale, I'd be surprised. Raven, the new headmaster of Vale. Though I think Glynda Goodwitch completely earned that title.

Quick question- are the windows in Salem's HQ the same as the windows of her + Ozma's castle in the flashback?

>>36918

I agree on the issues with why Qrow is mad about Ozpin's plan, and Salem's plan overall/reaction. It's not even that hard a sell on the former if you emphasize Qrow feeling uniting people in peace is impossible, and playing keep-away with Salem will just delay the inevitable.

>>36904

Having seen the whole thing, I actually kind of get why the writers did it. Salem expects the people she uses to be able to carry out their task, and she wouldn't assign them something that even the most unexpected circumstances couldn't derail- i.e. they can be sneaky or brutish enough to still get it. So that only leaves one of them screwing up.

Problem is, none of them are convincing as a one-man-army (even Hazel) or sneaky enough to avoid a crowd. Plus if she's boarder-line omnipotent/3D chessmaster enough to expect their failure to be impossible, then how could she not see Cinder losing her temper and being the one to be blamed?

You can't sell someone as being a genius/totally understands human nature and behavior/omnipotent when she didn't for see a screw up. A little ego or limitation doesn't hurt. Her being shocked the Faunus united, but then knowing untrained rubes would not be enough would have been a fine reason for her to demand blame.

I disagree: Salem preaches how "mankind's hearts are easily swayed" and both the plans for Vale and Vacuo were predicated on people failing each other. In fact, destroying the goal of the white fang was crucial to her goal: she knows Cinder will fault, esp. sway.

The flaw was intel leak. That was an oversight in Salem's plan, not Cinder's. Cinder's order as fall maiden was to acquire the relic, nothing more. It was Tyrian's job to eradicate Ruby[&Qrow]. At this very point, Salem should have seen a new probability to her goal. Cinder decided to do a two for one, which would have worked if not for Blake's reinforcement:

Which again Hazel forgot to mention

He took responsibility as if it mattered since he isn't a maiden to be able to acquire the relic.

Salem blaming everything on Cinder, even as pathos discipline is stupid.

The writers fucked up, even if again the crux is hubris.

In fact, I think I can write you the whole story more simply:

Salem required intelligence from within the Cross Continental Transmit System to find out where the relics lie.

Arthur Watts provided exactly that: a virus to infiltrate their systems, and compromise scrolls across the entire planet[1]. James cited so to Qrow when attempting to escort the fall maiden[2]. Why was the fall maiden being escorted to Vale, who knows. We know Salem requires 1 maiden, so Cinder can become one to enter the realms of the relics.

With a maiden now in hand, acquiring the compromised Relic of Knowledge should have been a piece of cake, IF there wasn't interference. Cinder in this case excelled in dynamically adapting her plans accounting for new players, bringing Adam along with his Crew to bomb Haven Academy[3].

Why would Salem leave her only maiden [bishop] alone to suffer, when she needs Cinder FOR ANY RELIC?

I'm telling you all the pathos training was already done![4]

In writing, this makes no sense, Salem knows EVERYONE HAS FLAWS, EXCEPT HER! Why would she assume Cinder wouldn't fail, EVEN AFTER SHE FAILED TO GATHER OZPIN'S RELIC?!!?

>>36930

I think she traded her magic to be able to control Grimm instead. She's changed even more than the first time she went to GoD's pool of destruction.

Ozpin having his falling out with RWBY and Qrow over his flashback and how Salem can't be killed by mortal means is weak writing. Obvious melodrama to force a conflict.

RWBY already signed onto a war against an endless horde of monsters that can wipe out towns. They have no signs that they can be forever destroyed. For THAT to be the breaking point and not Ozpin having already knowingly put civilians at risk is weak.

It's also silly how they treat to make the melodrama something that impacts the team when really only Yang should be seriously angry about it instead of just let down like Ruby is. Weiss and Blake shouldn't care that much since they don't know Ozpin, he has no connections with their families (that they know of, anyway), and haven't bonded with him like Ruby has.

The worst part of this is how this'll be settled. Either Ozpin checks out and RWBY asspulls some way to forever stop Salem or Ruby somehow gets Ozpin to stick around and say sorry. Either they force a victory after what would be a point of failure or the status quo stays.

The only somewhat interesting angle they can take this "REEE OZPIN DIDN'T TELL US SALEM'S UNKILLABLE" melodrama is one where Ozpin decides that what RWBY did is the last straw. That he's fed up with the betrayal, the ingratitude, the overall ugliness in human. He's going to use everything he has at his disposal to acquire the relics so that he can summon the gods back for them to smite Salem and end humanity if they see fit. He can end his task at last, and if humanity dies then so be it. Perhaps as he fades out he wonders what he even helped such a disappointing kind for.

The point is that for this subplot to not be a big waste of time it needs to change the status quo. Having Team RWBY talk to Ozpin and say sorry to him (or vice-versa) is weak since it really changes nothing. Having Ozpin sign-out and RWBY find a way to stop Salem without Ozpin or the gods just makes both the wizard and gods look pathetic. At least in my "Ozpin tries to bring about the apocalypse" SOMETHING changed from this subplot we're being subjected to now.

My guess is that the wording of the god's curse is important, and that RWBY will find a way to stop Salem by showing her the importance of death to balance life. Then she dies, as her curse is lifted. That is, they DO absolutely nothing to stop Salem: she dies because she learns something from their struggle.

Other than that, this is just worthless melodrama.

And I sincerely hope that that final confrontation involves Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury on their own side, trying to kill Salem as well.

Also, for Ozpin to have fought for so long with no obvious reward expected yet run away like a bitch when a bunch of teenage girls and a manbaby whine at him for something that really changes nothing about what they were doing is bad writing. He could have just shot back "If it wasn't for me humanity would be Salem's plaything and Qrow would just be a garbage bandit like his cowardly sister." Rubbed RWBY's noses in how they were acting how they were expected to act. Instead, he bitched out.

All of RWBY besides Ruby herself (who's at least trying to learn how to succeed at their mission) are no more bright. Qrow's a grown man who was already one of Ozpin's co-conspirators and so should have considered the Grimm's (who have yet to be destroyed by man) leader Salem can't be killed by human means. Which bounces back onto the "they already signed up onto an endless war against the Grimm, learning Salem can't be killed by mortals changing just about nothing" point.

>has no actual motivations other than "the gods told me so"

Doesn't change what was said. Even so, he should have not taken what RWBY and Qrow were whining at him for seriously. The only believable option he has now is to just write the lot of them off as failures and steal the relic at night so he can start anew. He obviously can't trust them anymore. So of course that won't happen.

Right. With "I've made more mistakes than anyone alive" and him being a pseudo-god, you'd have thought he would be responsible for major shit down the line (the shit treatment of Faunus, Atlas being a super-power, his involvement in the great war and the "war against individuality"). While he shouldn't be directly involved with everything, the butterfly effect of what he and Salem did should have been shown. The flashback may have been 2 episodes instead of one then.

It's underwhelming how for all the hype in the fandom over Ozpin is so shady THAT's the big secret. It comes off as they were desperate to find something to suit the hints that Ozpin was more than what he seemed as a friendly old magic man and throw a bone to the fans saying he'd turn-out to be a villain but wouldn't have him doing something TOO malicious or heinous since they want him to stick with Ruby's posse.

>the shit treatment of Faunus

Actually, I see him backing the White Fang. If not helping found it then secretly aiding Sienna Kahn in her rise to power as a way to bring harmony between faunus and humans. Obviously this goes badwrong but it'd fit with the "Ozpin as a honestly well-meaning man who still makes mistakes or who's plans go awry."

>Atlas being a super-power

I can also see him through Ironwood working with Jacques to seize the SDC for their Ozluminati's goals.

>his involvement in the great war and the "war against individuality"

Him being at odds with "individuality" doesn't really suit his actions even back when he was a headmaster.

>While he shouldn't be directly involved with everything, the butterfly effect of what he and Salem did should have been shown. The flashback may have been 2 episodes instead of one then.

That's a strong point. We're obviously supposed to see Salem as some "tragic monster" here, except she's too quick to jump straight into roping her fellow humans into a war on the gods, try to rule them as gods with Ozpin, and talk about replacing them with her Master Race to be buyable as one.

>Execution is more key than anything. You can sell the gang trying to unite people, and showing how working together and putting aside differences can rival darkness, magic, and gods (the negative parts of humanity, the unknown, and the understanding you have of the world).

That bounces back again onto the problem of "How did Ozpin not try this?" They wrote themselves into a corner by introducing Salem's invulnerability among her otherwise effective godhood, establishing Ozpin has failed to kill or even just stop her from acting for centuries, and yet still having set RWBY to be the ones to settle this big shadow war. If they have RWBY cut ties with Ozpin yet still succeed that just makes him an embarrassment.

He should already asked if they were going to kill the Grimm/Salem off forever if doing so was that important to him fighting under Ozpin. Nothing says he did, nothing says this was ever important before this Volume brought it up. For him to serve under Ozpin as one of his agents for so long (he already knows well about Ozpin's plans like with the Maidens) yet now he suddenly starts pulling a Zero is silly when he learns the leader of the endless army of monsters who have been threatening man for centuries can't be killed by mortal means.

>yeah nah, ozpin is a faggot that does not believe in freedom and war

His backstory when combined with his tactics shows he hardly lords over the planet he has watch over in the present day. He gives plenty of leeway to others in their choices.

Obviously. We're going to Ruby or even Jaune just yell at him to come out of his mage shell since they still need him and he says sorry for being so mean. They're going with Ozpin as now not having the fortitude to stand by his decisions or even just point that for all his mistakes, it was thanks to his efforts RWBY and Co. are in a safe enough society to do so.

>Or, he could have been a background benefactor to Ghira, and Sienna was that plan going to shit. Ghira seems to be more ideologically aligned to Oz than Sienna, and it would explain how a terrorist was admitted to Beacon: Oz admitted Blake from sentimentality over his old friend Ghira.

The idea would be that he sees the faunus' potential as attack dogs AND that since his goal requires him to keep the world in "harmony" yet humans continue to be meanies to faunus he'd decide that it's time to take hardcore measures. He'd know from his many many years the ugliness in human nature and that to get a man's respect in many cases you need to bare your fangs. So he backs Sienna since he sees her as the strongwoman the White Fang/faunus need and that once they become stable she can be brought aboard.

Adam rising ruined that and so he wrote off the WF as a failure. He can still be friends with Ghira but secretly figure that his methods won't work for what he needs (militarize the faunus enough to get humans to treat with them and also to counter Salem).

<V6C5 Peek

Is that how much snow we were supposed to be see in the last chapter?

I really need to watch the chapters before I split them to upload mp4s, having cut on the shot, I've made an awkward break in Salem's dialogue.

>Yang's dialogue here is about as stilted as when she was mad about Ozpin "turning" Qrow and Raven into birds. Her anger here is just as ridiculous.

>This whole scene is farcical when you remember that they've just learned the secret history of their world. Not just through telling, they've actually seen it for themselves. They should really still be processing things and each coming to grips with these revelations in their own time.

That point I made before the chapter came out still stands. Ozpin never told any of them they were going off to fight or defeat Salem.

>And after everything they've just learned Ruby's question qualifies her for some sort of "Maximum Stupid" award. How does one even begin to make sense of what she & the rest of the group have just learned and even form that question in her mind?

>Should any of them even be speaking now?

This is reminiscent of V4C2 where RNJR had that inhuman reaction to the dying Huntsman.

>And where did Jinn go? It just returned to the lamp without tempting them to waste another question?

>Qrow's reaction is so melodramatic it borders on farcical. Way to undercut what little drama there was by doing that shot of Oscar's face as he gets punched.

>So he didn't belong to a bandit tribe and a team of Huntsmen before? He's seen no value in any of the work he's done over the years?

>Calavera's voice is terrible.

>Yes, Oscar. You are going to be another one of "his" lives. This should have been your primary concern from the start. Too bad the loss of everything that is you was treated like a joke until now. And since you've just learned the history of the world of Remnant your concern is too little, too late.

>It would make more sense, given what we've just learned about her, if Salem had anticipated their failure. Given the long game she and Ozpin are playing I don't see why she'd have an Adam-like reaction to finding out Ozpin was alive. If she'd had 3 relics and he set her back to zero, I could understand. But things are still in play and arguably going her way since one relic is in the open and on its way to another. From the start, I presumed this whole thing was more of a test for Cinder than anything else. A test that Salem knew Cinder would fail more likely than not.

>M&K are still doing that thing from V4 where they have the characters unable to see a few dozen meters ahead of them while walking on a trail.

You anons have already hashed out a lot of the other points I could make. While I disagree with the lead up to it, I support Ozpin's decision to withdraw if only because RWBY & Qrow are being irrational. There's also no excuse for his getting outplayed by Salem so badly last volume nor for the fact that he sat around playing with the kids instead of being more proactive. That's why I couldn't praise the earlier chapters. The last 2 volumes evidence something so flawed in the writing that will take more than a few well-received chapters to fix. If you didn't see this fumble coming you weren't paying attention.

Indeed. They just seemed to take Jaune's trait of distrusting Ozpin and just dumped it on Yang. It's gotten to the point where anons 4chan's RWBYg are suggesting she's join Salem or at least become her mother since she's such a rotten girl.

>>This whole scene is farcical when you remember that they've just learned the secret history of their world. Not just through telling, they've actually seen it for themselves. They should really still be processing things and each coming to grips with these revelations in their own time.

That leaps onto the problem this melodrama is poorly placed.

>That point I made before the chapter came out still stands. Ozpin never told any of them they were going off to fight or defeat Salem.

He did talk of "beating" Salem though. Granted, that doesn't mean "kill her." That could mean prevent her from succeeding.

Again, Qrow should have talked with Ozpin about killing Salem if doing so was that important to his service. He doesn't say anything about this being important before Volume 6. He should know that the Grimm (who Salem commands) have been around for a really long level of time with no end for them in sight. Their leader being unkillable by mortals should be no surprise.

>While I disagree with the lead up to it, I support Ozpin's decision to withdraw if only because RWBY & Qrow are being irrational.

As I already said, the only way this subplot will lead to anything remotely interesting is if Ozpin cuts his ties with RWBY and focuses on reuniting the relics so that he can summon the gods back. It not only has Ozpin taking the initiative but has RWBY learn to succeed without him.

Salem is like a hurricane: you beat her by hunkering down, letting her blow over, and if your house is standing the next day, you've won.

Here's my BS for a way forward:

Ozpin takes off to collect the relics. Maybe Oscar decides that if he summons the Gods, then he will be free from Ozpin.

Emerald, Mercury, and Hazel run from Salem, because she's too batshit crazy (she's starting to make The Major from Hellsing look reasonable). They start to collect the relics in the hope that they can kill Salem (because no one leaves the family… alive).

Emerald, Mercury, and Hazel join up with Cinder and, improbably, Neo.

Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, Hazel, and Neo run into and capture Ozpin/Oscar.

Cinder etc follow RWBY to Atlas, where they steal the Lantern and the Staff.

Everybody rushes to Shade to get the final McGuffin…

Not sure how to end it.

Remember that Ozpin SHOULD have other loyal henchmen like Glynda for him to rally in his quest to achieve apocalypse even with Qrow's betrayal so he wouldn't go it alone for so long. Obviously he wouldn't mention the "end the world part" to any of them.

He also sees how forced Yang's sudden hostility to Ozpin is. I don't know what made them think doing so was a good idea when they already had Jaune to play that role. Doubly when apparently the start of doubts after leaving Raven's home is Ozpin turning twins into birds (even though she lives in a world where there's both animal men and necromancers).

If she was written more like "manga Yang" who genuinely thought that Junior had to tell her what she wanted to know because she beat him up then that would work.

>Somehow learning about the ENTIRE history of the first civilization, you'd think that they'd have a LOT more questions than "How can we beat Salem?"

The characters are having inhuman reactions again. How can it get better when something like this slips past not only Kerry & Miles but the people they have reviewing their scripts?

Kerry & Miles had Yang come right out and announce the "death" of her character last volume. By that I mean that they robbed her of what goals & motivation she may have had pre V5 and just made her will subordinate to Ruby's.

<From V5C8

<Yang: If Ruby sticks around, then I will too. If there's one thing I know about her, it's that she somehow always knows the right thing to do.

Though they've developed a parallel anger track with Jaune, Miles & Kerry are overplaying it to where Yang is coming off like a raging yeast infection. The only reason they're travelling with the relic they have is that they can't seal it away without the maiden. Since Yang is lying to them she's responsible in small part for their current dilemma. Her anger could be some strange attempt at covering her real feelings.

>Their leader being unkillable by mortals should be no surprise.

He believed in Ozpin's reincarnation so I'm at a loss to make sense of his reaction to all this. The story needs Qrow to be in a certain frame of mind and storytellers aren't doing the necessary work to get him there.

>>36978

>Maybe. I was more thinking just getting all the relics and putting them where she can't get them.

If Salem was spurring Ozpin to panic and gather the relics himself so that she could more easily accomplish her goals that might be something. But how do you make that a believable reaction on Ozpin's part? They've both lived countless lifetimes and should have an immunity to that kind of pressure. From the limited mortal vantage Ozpin & Salem's actions are frustrating, confusing, or even maddening. But what's it like from the perspective of a grand champion chess match played over the course of thousands of lifetimes?

Yang asked Ozpin "What's wrong with you?" for giving her mother and uncle the ability to turn into birds even though she lives in a world with animal men and one of her teammates is a necromancer (Weiss with her summoning dead Grimm). Like what, is shapeshifting into animals some taboo "forbidden magic"? Does it tie into anti-faunus antics? I don't know and I doubt we'll get a solid addressing of that.

>He believed in Ozpin's reincarnation so I'm at a loss to make sense of his reaction to all this. The story needs Qrow to be in a certain frame of mind and storytellers aren't doing the necessary work to get him there.

If they really need to have Qrow fall-out with Ozpin then they should have started it with the cover up of Leo's treachery as said in >>36966 and then have it go full throttle once Ozpin revealed he put civilians at risk knowingly.

Hell, from the looks of Yang's choices, you'd wonder if Yang and Ruby were ever close as sisters. Her arc has already completed, and she basically conciders her mom dead to her… so all that's left is to be Blake's love interest. Dear god I hope not.

it's funny, now that I think about it. In the show, Yang actually never really show love to Ruby. in fact, IIRC, the only proof we ever actually have of that is "Gold". also, the opening to Volume 3, Ruby tells her mother's grave that "She keeps Yang in check."

Again, it comes off as the writers still wanting us to see Ozpin as a valiant, heroic figure for all mistakes he might make so they don't have him do anything TOO heinous or malicious once he's broken ties with Salem. Him talking Raven into becoming a Maiden with her suffering for it would make Yang and maybe Qrow's (if he wasn't told about Raven being the Maiden and how it was Ozpin's idea) attitude stronger. And would provide Yang more grounds to take what Raven says seriously.

Little of the overall plot would change if Yang wasn't a blood relative of Ruby. Such as having her be adopted by Taiyang as a favor to Qrow (who doesn't trust himself to raise a little girl even if she's family) after Raven dumped her kid on him (who in this RWBY isn't Taiyang's birth daughter).

Frankly, I wonder if Yang was supposed to be Ruby's sister by blood instead of adopted or even just a friend of her family in the earliest draft of what became RWBY.

The idea is that Yang becomes more hostile to continuing their journey since she's sure Salem can't be stopped and is too dangerous to fight. She starts out advocating abandoning civilians to the Grimm and ends up flat-out planning to desert. Ruby or some other teammate would catch her and they'd fight it out.

>Joining Salem, who just two episodes ago, was shown as the ultimate reason why Remnant is shit and will always be shit

The idea from 4chan's thread is that she goes a step farther than Raven did and says "Can't beat them? Join them!" since Salem is again too dangerous to oppose. There was talk about Mercury ditching Salem and replacing Yang but that was a joke I'm sure.

As much as that will add actual character to Yang, I highly doubt it. Yang, in a sense, is already broken and she said she will defer to Ruby's judgment on things.

as for joining Salem, i think that's an even lesser chance of happening. While she fucking hates Ozpin's guts right now, she saw what everyone else saw and she knows the truth, which makes her a liability to Salem.

Another good-ish episode. Again, the more action we get with sprinkings of plot, the better it is. If you write best in tiny windows, then write in tiny windows. Too much freedom is bad if you don't know how to use it (in writing).

Both Blake and Weiss have complained about being tired. So the monster in the wine cellar is probably a Grimm that makes people fall asleep. It could be the Semblance of one of the kids, but they would be dead by now.

I'm just sad the whole seeing flashes of the person before they mysteriously disappeared is being used for Adam when they could have done it with cinder seeing images of Roman (created by neo semblance) to lead up to their fight. The fight was good at least, except for the fact that it didn't sync with the music at all but that's to be expected from RT at this point.

She could have bought a new hat in a similar style. But that is an oversight IMO.

As for that bottom spoiler it makes sense. Sleeping Beauty is a fairy tale they haven't done yet, and with how heavily Qrow said "it's like they're sleeping and never woke up". I think some versions of sleeping beauty also had all the people in the castle/kingdom fall asleep as well (mainly the Disney version, since in the original I think they turned to stone?) I'm wondering if it's someone with the semblance to make others feel their emotions/condition. She's hungry, everyone's hungry, she's asleep, everyone is asleep. That still doesn't answer why the Grim (if the Grim has sleeping powers) didn't eat them and everyone else while they slept. They don't need to eat, but is it literally that they must cause chaos and pain as "beings of destruction"? Why is it OK for them to smash a building but not someone while asleep? When unobserved are Grim totally placid? Of course none of that matters if it's not a Grim causing the sleep (nearby Grim would not go to the homestead of people asleep since there is no negative emotion- depending on the canon if they don't hunt by sight and smell). Could be something as dumb as "yeah all the food and drink is infected with this sleeping mold/poison, the only cure is a plant in this mine with a nasty Grim in it, find it before you fall asleep gang!"

Shit that last part actually sounds interesting…

That only shows that again, this subplot of losing trust in Ozpin won't change anything about the status quo much at all. They were already doing an apparently endless battle against the Grimm before learning Salem is immortal and beyond mortal's means to kill. They are still going to continue the quest since it's doubtful Ruby will let them bailout or join Salem. Even if Ozpin signs out for now, he'll show up again soon enough to either apologize or do something to get Ruby's posse to work with him again. So again, nothing.

I actually dislike the old lady being there for her 'role'. The 'role' she fulfilled should have been Ruby's to take on here. She's the optimist, the team leader, the hero. The smarter way to resolve it would be to have her take on the 'strong face' here, and then later on have a talk about how hopeless she feels with someone else - probably Jeanne, once the group meets up, but one of the mentor types like Qrow could work as well.

That's their best choreographed fight in a long while, but I'll be damned if I'm not sad that Neo is being set up to just act as Cinder's henchman. Hopefully she goes for the back-stab or something at some point later down the line.

Partial slashes for the things that I think will probably be acheived, at the rate things are going.

I also don't consider Adam taking his mask off to be complete until we see his face (which WILL be underwhelming because he only wears the mask so people care who he is and if he takes it off, it will be extremely painful… 4U ).

I am shocked with how they're actually asking the questions we all are. Almost makes it seem like they intentionally set it up, and I'm not used to them being able to plan so far ahead.

The Grimm's name is a little on the nose but I personally love the design, like how they're all slightly different. I'm surprised Ruby was actually scared of it for a time. Usually themes like this try to lean too heavily on metaphors for depression and become very schmaltzy very fast. It didn't here and I hope it continues (because RWBY and co have legit reasons to be miserable, as oppose to actual depression happening even if it's not so bad). And I fucking love how they explained Granny not seeing Ruby's silver eyes. Her short speech also helps explain why they should bother trying to save the day- because if they don't, people can be harmed here and now. That should have been a message they got back at Beacon, but still glad to hear it now.

Although, there are some minor issues. How the fuck did Granny get down the well?

The running away animation from the Grim at the start and as they left the house looked awful (running a short pace in a small place), and no one used covering fire on them. Not to mention running from the Grim could have set it up better if any form of combat was ineffectual, not just a few shots. Regenerating limbs or not flinching or reacting to anything- slow and inevitable advance.

The mocap didn't really sell how exhausted/tired they were either, it sort of lacked the "heaviness" when someone is just ready to drop. Same issue with Qrow's drunkeness now I think about it, not nearly "floppy" enough.

It's also kind of a hard sell that these grim are a threat when we've seen these people fight at such a break-neck pace. It implies they should also be able to retreat quickly as well. Semblance aside, everyone should have been able to out-run the Grim while not under it's effects.

I'm also surprised such a potentially lethal Grim was not more known about. These are a greater threat than any dragon or sea-serpent we've seen up to now. Also makes Granny's decision to toss the book fucking dumb. Although you could argue that with that "war on individuality" we've not been told about, they wouldn't want a repeat of it if info got into the wrong hands. Ironically the same argument they made about ditching the lamp (it's so slim anyone will find it, it won't be a problem for at least our time). As others say, they look like jobbers because they were never fought. Sure they're supposed to be weak, but draining someone of all willpower should make it more of a threat. Imagine if Dee and Dudley wound up traveling with the team, and got picked off by that Grim as they went to/were in the estate. Monsters are only scary when we know what will happen when they catch someone- and this is a rare case where showing is better than implying. Have those corpses have teeth and claw marks on them, but Qrow comments there were no defensive wounds. Build suspense by having someone talk about a rumor of the farm ("When the farm failed, they all turned to cannibalism!") to at least add some mystery and suspense to it all.**

It kind of makes me wish all Grimm had the potential to spread negative emotions as a power, beyond natural fear of them. I.e. A monkey like grim that taunts and teases, then strikes when the person is in a berserk rage. Or one that makes a person unable to see other humans- ramping up feelings of isolation and loneliness. Though that would probably limit you to like 10 different species.

Overall, an alright episode. Again, the less they address the plot and do anything but that seems to work best for them, as long as they aren't sitting around. Still some flaws.

>>37045

I may have called it, but now I'm even more worried. We've seen the big monster, we've seen the "cave", we've seen why Torchwick's hat was in the intro, who the hooded woman was, why Qrow was sinking into misery, the blond woman- all the big stuff teased in the intro has been done. What's left? How many episodes have we got? In terms of what's been set up, there's no reason for the gang not to make it to just-outside-of-Atlas in the next episode.

After seeing that episode, I'm gonna post my own "fixes" for this volume so far. Will spoiler the latest episode, and unless I type otherwise, assume it's the same. I won't address stuff like animation (i.e. Dudley's arm looking more broken), stuff being answered now that should have been much earlier, and try to go by whatever the current continuity is.

> After getting his arm patched up, Dudley uses his Semblance to call a badly injured Dee to him. Both had teleportation related semblances one could move himself, the other could send anything to elsewhere), but one day they got "tangled up" using their semblance's at the same time, and now only have the power to bring one to the other. It has great potential for neat attacks, but they're still kinda useless.

> Dee and Dudley end up crashing with the crew (ending up on the wrong half of the train due to bumbling), and act as the audience surrogate to all the stuff with Djinn and occasionally comic relief for a while.

> The Djinn flashback plays out without commentary from her, letting Ozma and Salem + others talk. The gods have a bit more of a fight while reviving/killing Ozma.

> Salem is shown building up an army for generations- to the point the world has steam-punk technology, and it's implied she has the entire world on her side. Also show her snippets of talking to various rulers, and playing into what their culture or rulers desire (wiping out others, keeping loved ones alive, being the dominant force on the planet, survival, etc). The better tech then makes it more impressive when it does jack-shit to the gods. I.e. hit head-on by a magical mortar doing squat.

> When the GoD wipes out the world, the GoL is at least shown reaching out shouting no or turning away as his brother does it. He's not against it being done, just how it was done. I.e. He'd have rather abandoned them and moved onto another planet or peacefully killed them. The broken moon is shown to be more intentional, and a reminder to Salem and the next humanity of what happens when you are divided.

> The GoL is shown to be much more benevolent- not fighting his brother as it would have destroyed the universe and each other. Or go full blown Greek god tier and have him as arrogant, depends on if the end goals of humanity being united is supposed to surpass the gods or not.

> Salem and revived Ozma's reign is shown in more detail- trying to keep the people happy to stop grim attacks (they can deal with an assault of any size, but can't be everywhere at once). This includes letting people treat Faunus with scorn (because a few unhappy Faunus far outweigh the human population being frustrated of having to treat someone they don't trust fairly), use of plants like recreational drugs to prevent negative emotions, and even "The War on Individuality" Ozpin mentioned. This ends up with cult-like behavior (masks and cloaks so people can't be jealous of on another), and Salem says how without an identity people fill that with other things, like being the best worshiper of them. This also results in even more wars- now civil wars between factions of worshipers.

> Ozma & Salem's fight is shown in more detail, and the kids are more heavily implied to have fled and given the whole maiden rebirth spell, or died. Maybe even save this as a fight for the final episode and let the team "pause" the flashback since the wish is not fulfilled.

> The Great War is shown to have been started by Salem or a follower, killing an important person a'la WW1. This is during a meeting of important people as an incarnation of Ozpin tries to set up the Academies. Ozpin's next life is then of the young prince who eventually becomes the king who ends the war using one of the relics- the sword. Or another fancy fight scene with what his magic can do.

>>37051

> After the flashback, Qrow and Blake's initial reaction is blind anger and being willing to kill Oscar/Ozpin. Yang and Blake hold them back- Yang is just as mad but doesn't want to harm Oscar, and Weiss sympathizes with Ozpin being in bad situations and doing bad things when manipulated by people they love. Before the fight escalates, Ruby puts an end to the fight, acting surprisingly leader-like, but not in a good way (playing the authority of being the leader). She says they're closer to Argus, and they'll meet up with JNR to discuss it further since they deserve to know what they just saw.

> Ozpin fades away, and Oscar wonders if he is gone. Qrow says he doubts it, but doesn't care if he did. Dee and Dudley are still a little shaken over everything they've seen, but reluctantly tag along since working together will be safer.

> Cinder's frozen body is shown shattering on impact with the water. The grim arm eventually thaws out and floats to the surface. It then starts to bubble and regenerate (maybe even cutting to Salem and having her eyes glow a little brighter, showing she may have some sort of mind-link to explain how she knows Cinder lived). Before we see more of it, Cinder bolts up as if waking from a nightmare. She's horrified to see her grim arm now goes up to her shoulder rather than her than her elbow. She gets her clothes, and uses her maiden powers to blast her way out of the rock (implied over the course of a long time if need be), or climb back up.

> When Little Miss reveals she knows about Cinder, she's blind-sided by (we assume) Torchwick attacking her. His fighting style seems a little different than usual, and Cinder eventually calls out that it's Neo using her semblance (her attacks are coming in shorter and she's moving too lightly to be Torchwick).

> The scene with Salem/Emerald/Hazel plays out mostly the same. Emerald blames herself due to her neuroses and Hazel tells her to be quiet and he'll handle it. Hazel initially tries to blame the correct source (RWBY, the Faunus, Raveb), but Salem says she wants to know who was responsible for them preventing any attempt to sneak or force the relic out. Hazel tries to blame Adam which only makes Salem angrier since "he's an animal that should be easily controlled". Hazel realizes she's looking for a subordinate to blame to set an example, and fearing for Emerald he takes the blame. Emerald steps in and blames Cinder. Salem then mock congratulates Emerald for learning to abandon her loyalties to Cinder, and scorns Hazel that next time he may not have a dead ally to pin blame onto.

Spoilers for episode 6 from here on out:

> As RWBY travel a blizzard hits, making it almost impossible to see. They eventually find shelter and shake off exhaustion, but Dee has been separated from the pack. When Dudley teleports him back to them, Dee seems to be in a trance like state. His eyes are heavily blackened like he's exhausted, and when he can be bothered to speak he just says "It's fine". Dudley almost has to feed him by hand. They talk about what could have happened to him but no one is sure (unlikely to be poison, not like anything any known Grim could do, not to mention they prefer making people panic more, etc.) Talks about abandoning Dee are suggested, but quickly shelved out of decency.

> When RWBY find the Brunswick Farm, Dudley seems apprehensive. Once settled inside he explains how he heard an old rumor: The farm went bust, and the family turned to cannibalism. Some still roam the wilderness today, etc etc. Everyone palms it off and tells him he's stupid telling a story that'd scare people- right on queue for Weiss to find the dead bodies in the bedroom.

> Qrow looks it over and explains what's odd. While the wounds are consistent with a grimm (claws and teeth not like animals in that area), the room has no signs of a struggle, and the bodies don't have defensive wounds on their arms. If it was a Beowolf, Ursa, Manticore, etc. The whole room should be in pieces, and the bodies in a far worse state.

> As the team wind down for the evening after investigating, Dudley asks why they're going to carry on with their quest. While most of the girls initially make good arguments, counterpoints Dudley makes are readily accepted (because of the apathy). When comparing it to the fight against the grim in general, Dudley (out of his own apathy) explains how he quickly grew disillusioned. He compares it to gambling- how even if you have a 99.9% chance to win, you will eventually lose if you play long enough. A person will die on your watch, and there's nothing you could have done to stop it. Dudley says when Huntsmen get old enough, they either hold onto their naivety, or learn that they will never truly win. Hence why him and Dee took a more money focused approach. Since no one knows where Grim come from and the recent tragedy has only spiked their numbers, it seems humanity will never truly stop the Grim unless they have total peace like the GoL wanted. And war seems like something that'll always happen, even without Salem. If there's only 0.1% of people driving towards war, they just need to get lucky. Qrow doesn't say anything to disagree with him, but he does tell him to knock it off and sends him out on first patrol that night.

> Ruby asks Qrow if he's OK before bed, and he says he's fine etc. He then asks her how she's not angry (since his apathy has stopped him caring about her feelings as much). He doesn't get how she's not furious at Ozpin- being the reason Raven, him and the world is how it is. She says she is, but she'll deal with it later. She asks Qrow if Summer was ever involved with Ozpin and Salem. Before he can answer, they hear Dudley screaming outside. Everyone piles out to help, but they see nothing. Dudley says he saw red eyes in the blizzard, and everyone eventually palms it off on tiredness, hunger, and general creepiness of the place. Even the snow feels weird. Dudley is freaking out, and says he'd rather take his chance in the blizzard, Qrow snaps that that's fine.

> During the night we get a scene of the POV of something walking among the team as they sleep. It approaches Qrow, only for him to slightly turn in his sleep making the camera move back. It's attention then turns to Dee. (the grim only targets those who are totally apathetic and won't fight back)

> The next morning happens as the show does. When they ask where Dudley and Dee are, they assume Dudley was actually dumb enough to walk off into the blizzard and took Dee with him, or left early that morning. A few people say they don't care about them if they are going to risk their lives like that. As in the episode, the crew argue about if Dudley was right- abandoning the Lamp here and leaving it for another generation to worry about.

> When Ruby comes to her senses and freaks out, she explains things a little better. Everyone is getting the deep black marks around their eyes like Dee did, several comments made were kind of cruel/thoughtless, and they didn't cause the usual reaction (someone called Weiss spoiled and she let it slide, another said something unintentionally but still kinda racist about Faunus and Blake let is slide, etc).

> Each downplay it and Yang tries her best to calm Ruby down and say she's just not thinking straight. Ruby then accuses Yang of the same, and the camera moves to show she's holding Yang's hair or even managed to cut a piece off without her noticing (or it being shown to the audience for more surprise, a'la The Vision holding Thor's hammer). Yang seems genuinely surprised before trying to shrug it off. "You're family, i-it's different." She comes to her senses when she has another vision of Adam, very clear and very close. Blake asks what's wrong, to which Yang replies "I should be screaming right now but I just don't care." Yang agrees something is very wrong. Oscar agrees and says they need to see something. The reason the tire burst was because Dudley's mace was under the snow and it ran over one of the spikes on it. They dig out a bit more snow and find Dudley underneath- badly injured. He softly mutters "It's fine" before dying. This acts as the adrenaline/shock to get everyone back to their senses to get the Lamp back.

> Attempts to set up a rope to get down the well fail when the rope snaps as the last person goes down it. When Ruby finds The Apathy, they're eating Dee's body (showing as much as we can and keeping the age rating the same). Nothing seems to hurt them, and they slowly advance. They even attempt a sling-shot similar to what they did on the Nevermore (using Gambol Shroud as a slingshot, Ruby pulls it back, Weiss uses glyphs to hold it in place/speed up the release, and Yang is the "shot"). Despite hitting with tremendous force, the hole in the Apathy's chest regenerates. It then slowly looks up at Yang and exhales a snow-like breath. Instead of a scream, the Apathy use snow like spores to drain people of willpower. With enough of them, they can even make it look like it is snowing indoors, or a full blown blizzard. The gang are forced to run, gradually moving slower and slower. Maria (Grandma) reveals she used to be a Huntress, and jumps down the well to help when Oscar is paralyzed by indecision (asking for Ozpin's help and he does nothing).

> As the gang are close to the exit and struggling, Blake says her "It's fine" (making it a recurring line meant to evoke the emotions from earlier- concern and fear) and Ruby does some weak silver eye stuff. Maria teaches her how to do it, and she vaporizes the Grim down to puddles. Said puddles then begin to reform into something much larger. Maria removes her goggles and lets out a blast of light more akin to Season 3's finale, petrifying the grim into a statue of half-formed limbs.

> The books on Apathy say that while they are not powerful, they are nigh-indestructible and relentless. They prefer to attack people when they are in a state of total apathy and won't struggle- not that it'd do any good. On the way out, the gang discuss what to do with the book about the Apathy. Fearing it falling into the wrong hands vs. warning others. Ruby gives a short and curt answer to burn it, and that they'll tell the appropriate people. The episode having a theme of doing something now, planning for tomorrow, putting it off for tomorrow, and how it affects others. Still not sure whether burning the book or not is good myself. If they keep the book, have a stinger shot at the end of the edge of an Apathy just at the edge of frame by a tree as the gang drive off, implying there are more.

Honestly, I got too caught up in the Shadow Temple comparisons and forgot to ask it myself, but I want to rant about how RWBY got down the well, not just Granny. They jumped. Like if they had jumped over a wall or something. Not like twenty or thirty feet down that they had to have fallen. I realize that we have seen everyone fall from greater heights and land gracefully, but those were in fights. Monty fights. Not the new, more realistic, less cool fights that RT has made. When the show is not in a fight, and thus not subject to the rule-of-cool, characters are subject to OUR laws of physics. They could have survived going down the well in such a manner if it resulted in a gag (the JOKE thus negating physics), but no, they just kind-of hopped down. I would have accepted Mario wall-jumping down, but did we see that? No. And then there's Grandma. Seeing her wall-jump down would have been bad-ass, but out of character. Showing everyone sliding down a rope would have made sense, made sense for Grandma, and could have been turned into a cheap gag to release some of the suspense before piling on more.

>>37042

So the enemies are Gibdos/ReDeads from finding them at the "Bottom of the Well", their paralysing scream, even down to their weakness to fire-based attacks. Odder still that both Weiss and Yang favour using Fire Dust which really should have made their underground adventure a lot shorter.

>>37045

>Oscar, you didn't sign up for shit.

Precisely. Oscar is in a delicate position so his dialogue in these recent chapters is more critical than most in maintaining a sympathetic relationship with the audience. To have him state something blatantly & demonstrably false like that damages the relationship if not kills it outright. Though seeing who the "loremaster" for the show is a lie like this shouldn't surprise me.

>Weiss asks why they are going to Atlas and NO ONE CAN ANSWER.

It's not apathy, it's mind control. The whole scene points to it, particularly the sequence that led to Ruby dropping the relic down the well. While they have characters outright state things that sound apathetic at first the character's words in the scene clearly lead to Ruby doing something as opposed to doing nothing as should be the case if they were really becoming apathetic. A true scary apathy would have led to them not caring enough to do anything at all. Look at these characters behaviours: Qrow becoming more of a useless drunk, Calavera obsessively reading, Weiss desire to avoid going "home" to Atlas getting stronger, and Yang arguing about avoiding the Salem conflict by ditching the relic. Each of them obsessively does or worries about something. That's not apathy. WBY volunteering to help Ruby get the lamp back certainly isn't. If it were truly apathy then even the thought of Salem finding the relic should genuinely not matter to them at all. This whole chapter is like that. The words & actions of the characters make no sense in light of their supposed apathy. They shouldn't have even wanted to leave the farm, really.

I'll leave aside whether Qrow or Calavera were effected at all since they didn't seem to be and abandon this topic since I'm typing too much again.

Ditch the scroll lights. Hunters should have taclights that don't occupy their hands.

Weiss with Myrtenaster on her hip is stopped by a locked cellar door? Is this a joke?

What Calavera says has been Ruby's motivation from the beginning. So why was this little "focus" scene even necessary? Have Ruby's motivations changed since we'd met her in V1?

Debating how to take them referencing Blade II in this.

Be curious to know why Weiss would want these "Apathy" for a summon.

There wasn't enough room for Yang to run between Oscar and the cart. Did the cart disappear?

And unless there were hundreds of dead that we didn't see there's another problem. The water tunnels alone would have taken years to construct and more manpower to build than the story even hints was present.

The problem with Brunswick Farms finds its roots in the thinking that lead RT to release that flawed "Between Kingdoms" WOR before V4 where economics is never a motivator in establishing these settlements.

The only lasting effect of this chapter will be encouraging fanfic authors to create Lust Grimm.

>It's not apathy, it's mind control.

My point with the statement about no one being able to answer is that, now that they've had their little break-up with Ozpin, none of them have any motivation to go to Atlas. Oz was driving them to Atlas. Oz was the only one with any fucking clue what they are going to do in Atlas. Without Oz, they have no reason to even go.

> The water tunnels alone would have taken years to construct and more manpower to build than the story even hints was present.

Honestly, it looks more like a city sewer than a well. That's not how anyone moves fresh water. Do the creators not know what a well is? I realize that it's gross when you think about it: dig a hole in the ground deep enough that water pools in it (that is, water seeps in from around the hole and the hole is deep enough to gather the water). There is water in the ground that feeds a well, no aqueducts necessary.

Understood your point. I was just using it to point out that going or not going to Atlas wouldn't matter to the characters if the scene were written consistent with the explanation we're provided later. Qrow is even more of a useless drunk, Yang is complaining like she was back in V6C2 (without the emotional heat but still), and Weiss saying she couldn't stop thinking all night sounds more like anxiety. Certain negative aspects seemed to intensify under the effects of the Grimm which conflict with the idea that they're supposed to be apathetic. Weiss' question shouldn't have been, "Why are we even going to Atlas?" It should have been, "Why are we even going anywhere?" It should have been a struggle for Ruby to keep them all from just laying there in the snow until they died.

Basing her motif on the grim reaper- it makes sense. Even her still using momentum based stuff to aid the weapon does.

What doesn't is why another silver-eyed person uses scythes and long cloaks. If anything, since the eyes petrify/vaporize, the weapon should be something that'd effectively herd Grimm into one place and bind them down. More kills per-flash. If Ruby could master her speed, she could be deadly against the Grimm with an Acme Glue-Gun. Or even just bolas.

Back on point, I'd be shocked if she never met Summer or trained her.

Overall, like I wanna like that they wanna have a fast pace, it’s just that there is too much stuff going and infodumps being pushed on us that in the end we just don’t have time to digest everything.

Plus, again… the entire Ultimate Oz Infodump (That is how I call it now) is just gonna exist when Oz will inevitably come back. None of what I see is rewarding or giving a payoff. Again, just give us time to digest what the hell they got and maybe it wont be as bad.

> Salem not wanting Ruby dead still makes no sense.

> Really liked the idea behind the croc from Peter Pan. Shame she wasn't in the modern era, or associated with the existing Peter Pan character (though TBH Scarlet didn't exactly stick in anyone's mind). It was only the little thing (why a time limit on her powers?) but it generated more intrigue than the real mysteries. Imagine having her instead of Tyrion. Tyrion just laughs. Croc-Girl has to keep to strict timing when she uses her powers, but also is hyper-aggressive and cocky. That opens up a lot more potential than "he's nuts and sadistic". Not to mention the lemotif of a ticking clock for her theme would have been so fucking cool to hear every so often. Not sure if her design could have been more croc-like, but it's hard to pull off while still having a human face.

> What shocks me more is how short Maria is compared to her flashback. Yes old ppl shrink but there's a limit. Maybe her gravity powers are sucking her into herself.

> If we had build up to the Grimm Reaper this might be more interesting. A throw-away sentence here isn't quite enough. Imagine if Ruby explained being brought up on stories about her, and she idolized a literal legend- even if she had no idea she really existed. Idealistic and a little naive. And Qrow is symbolic of losing faith in legends and ideals. A throw-away scene or sentence a few seasons ago has more impact when it pays of 5 seasons later, not 5 seasons after. Shit like this is why I really do think Monty's Bible was either half-done or abandoned altogether.

> Wait, if it's not Salem's crew after Maria, who the fuck was it and why? Sure less Grimm = less bandit raids getting a free clean-up, but it's not like someone's gonna CSI every burnt down shit-shack in the woods. In fact, having Maria know about Salem would probably have been better, and explained why she was so "meh" about Jinn. Maybe even a past Ozpin knew her or something. In fact, since Maria can't fight, she should be chomping at the bit to teach Ruby- unless, again, there are forces out to get her that Maria knows about. Which also makes no sense since "Huntsmen fight to the end" Despite that, I still do like the sentiment of her regret and being proud of others.

> Why was Ruby surprised Jaune made it to Argus? The way she said it made it sound like he got all the way to Atlas, or Argus wasn't a city

> I never thought they could make San Fransisco look good. Even the lore is logical, and showing the city in motion without 2D was great. Shame they ruin it later with the 2D photo.

Meaning they either had a TON of luck to find a baby the same shade as the dark girl, or the dark girl also had a dark boyfriend to make that color of baby.

> But yeah, subtle as a brick as always progressive company. There wasn't even a single "Oh!"- not a rude one, just a genuine surprised reaction. There was still the split second pause to hammer in how accepting everyone is. Even from Weiss- who had the most sheltered up-bringing of all. With her new acceptance of the world outside of Atlas, she didn't do the over niceness like some do when they don't know how to act around a gay couple. No one except bad people consider the gays as outside the norm in Remnant. Hell, maybe even they don't! "Wow, I may want to enslave humanity, but at least I'm not a homophobe!"

> At least it's not Bumblebee or someone else in the main cast being forced. Problem is now we know it's pushed in other media- when does it not feel forced? Even if there weren't (((other))) reasons for it, it gets old fast with how its been pushed by other media. Doesn't matter if it's a genre or a type of character or whatever- if others do it too much and poorly, your work will suffer when you try it. Unless it is exceptional and standard-breaking. They are a cute couple for now though.

> I like how Qrow can feign professionalism and polite conversation. Proves how he got by and isn't just a perma-brooding drunk.

Apart from some plot holes and agenda pushing I actually liked it. Probably missing more plot-holes with how Atlas is handing this dual-controlled city just before war breaks out but that's for next ep. RT can do comedy, even slice of life stuff, and they're getting better at action. They just can't do drama (though I am only judging from this as I've not seen other serious productions like Day 5) and big overarching plots. They are getting better bit by bit.

Last time we had time to digest nothing happened. After the house, M&K have followed the written word of the criticism, but not the spirit. So we're moving the plot along, and we've got no breaks.

I don't even feel like there's a lot to digest though, but that may just be me.

Silver-eyes are from GoL and kill GoD)- Salem's plan could be to bring them forth and kill them so she can rule truly unopposed (even though she could do that if the gods never came back) and revenge.

The writers really want Cinder to come off as an idiot here. Who can take her seriously anymore? She obsessed over Ruby for 2 volumes until they were finally in the same room when she developed a selective amnesia. Cinder was under orders not to kill Ruby but Salem said nothing about not harming her. Tyrian was going to poison Ruby back in V4 and all Salem told him to do was bring her back alive. Neo should never have been brought back for this nonsense. It was insultingly stupid writing that removed her from the show with a "Mary Poppins" joke. It's the worst sort of pandering that brought her back.

So they've now established that the legendary "Grimm Reaper" has trouble taking down the same kind of Giant Nevermore that a bunch of kids took out back in V3. Repeating that stupid moment from V3 where all the characters are posing on top of a stunned Giant Nevermore which then wakes up and they have to kill it. Here they have a legendary Huntress make the same mistake as a bunch of students and she has to cover for that blunder by flashing her Silver Eyes to save herself. Then what was the purpose of that pep-talk from the last chapter where Calavera tells Ruby, "Don't think about them. Think about the people who love you. Focus on the thought of them, the way they make you feel. Focus!" We're supposed to believe in the middle of her "Oh, shit!" moment she's thinking of the people she loves and not just saving her own ass because it would be really embarrassing if the Legendary "Grimm Reaper" were killed by a Nevermore in the middle of nowhere.

Not having Calavera's eyes visible while she's wearing the mask was a mistake.

And being in the middle of nowhere makes the lead-in to this next section ridiculous. Unless one of these people has a probability semblance there's no way they could be waiting here to ambush Calavera. It also struck me as strange that the enemy is wielding two long swords when her personality and the explanation of her powers would scream for her to carry one blade, an executioner's weapon. Something so scary looking that just her unsheathing or hefting it would make her opponent want to flee. Makes me think the just blundered into giving Winter a rapier and dagger. The fight while flashy was, in the end, let down by the writing and choreographic inconsistency as the screenshot of the tweet I posted shows. Opponents who are invulnerable don't worry about blocking, dodging, parrying or jumping about like Tock did. She fights like Tyrian. Then we get the odd moments where a killing blow by Calavera's scythe is dramatically deflected by Tock's Aura only to later have a simple kick knock her back. Tock's little trick, stupid though it is, should've made her the Juggernaut, an unyielding, unstoppable force that Calavera could only hope futilely to keep her distance from until time ran out. The henchmen should've only engaged Calavera if she tried to run which would've been inevitable since her opponent was temporarily invulnerable. And Tock repeatedly kicking Calavera away doesn't fit with her goals either. The last thing she should want to do is make any distance between the two of them which would only waste her time. Couple that with those times where Tock just stops attacking for no reason and the fight just can't maintain it's own coherence.

The finale of the fight is the usual problem Kerry has had with integrating bits he wants to do. Instead of Calavera setting things up while Tock is talking, so the ending when she recalls her weapon is smooth, there's an awkward pause where Tock stops just long enough for Calavera to grope blindly for her weapon and then kill Tock.

Tock dropping her aura before her opponent is dead is a stupid contrivance especially since it's a function of what she did with that clock.

Because Calavera's backstory was so lacklustre it also feels insulting that she's the progenitor of the scythe/guns used by Ruby and Qrow. Knowing that lessens them somehow. And why does Qrow's hair look like it's pulsating instead of blowing in the wind? Looks like they stretched Calavera's neck to get her model to be able to look over its shoulder like that. Ruby has nothing to learn from this dried up mummy.

I've got nothing to say about Remnancisco. It got the kind of intro that Anima's capital, Haven should have gotten last volume. Getting the writing done early has its benefits. We just had a sitting around and eating moment in V5C7, I hope this isn't becoming a pattern.

I'll give them credit for letting Calavera wear shorts under her dress though.

Let this tweet thread stand as proof, along with his early description of Yang as a "party girl", that Luna's writing doesn't communicate what he thinks it does. While the concept was sound the execution was ass-backward. Farming is passion. Farmers are very driven people. That he had Bartleby cause his own death by knowing what these "Apathy" were and actively seeking to use them undermines the message of this story he's waited years to tell. Luna even references Serenity in his explanation as a recent inspiration and still manages to screw up his telling.

How come those two dumb-fucks aren't the TweedleDee and TweedleDum reference? It also totally undercuts the military might of Atlas when these are their best and brightest. Not to mention not knowing Weiss. You could still have your comic relief though.

>>37119

I don't disagree that M&K executed it wrong, but I can see the trail of logic Bartlby used to get the Grimm. He's desperate, fear is making it dangerous to get shit done, and he may not just lose the farm but family and friends. Easy to see how an Apathy or two could be rationalized as harmless.

Rather than a man doing something desperate (and dumb) to save the farm, he could have made the comparison to the horror of depression more direct.

Have the farm being attacked by Apathy- not just picking off workers one by one, but slowly making them apathetic until they don't keep up with the farm work. They eventually become broke & starving until their own natural apathy plus what the Grimm are doing just causes them to lay down and die/wait to be mauled. Instead of a place ravaged by terrible actions in (we assume) a few days, how the Grimm chipped away at their resolve for far longer until it all came crashing down. Which one sounds more like depression?

Though I will emphasis- that's all personal taste, and the core concept was good. Out of all the discussion for how to fix the episode, very little of it is about the concept of the Apathy- more it's design or how people reacted to it.

>Cinder

Cinder has always been a flat, unappealing edgelord once you ignore the waifufaggotry. The showrunners killing off Roman when they did since they were concerned about how popular he was shows this since Cinder is such an unappealing villain that Roman had to die so that the stronk womin didn't get upstaged. It would have been best if Raven killed her for real instead of the obvious fake-out.

There's only really 2 ways Cinder can go:

>She overthrows Salem once Dastardly Witch Mom sees the error of her ways and becomes the final final boss

And if he'd followed his own reference examples then or as you laid out he'd have avoided contradicting his premise. It was such an easy set up that I don't get how he messed it up like he did.

>Out of all the discussion for how to fix the episode, very little of it is about the concept of the Apathy

I still largely disagree with the concept of having Grimm with these powers exist. It seems to cross a line somewhere and open doors to things they shouldn't. I may well be wrong to see it that way but something about it just feels off. It's like the problem of certain semblances. With the example of what Ren and Jaune pulled off publicly on the train in V6C1, I don't see how students with their "unique" semblances wouldn't be drafted to a Kingdom Defence Squad or Search & Rescue Team.

>>37123

>Did he really say that? That sounds more like a meme version based on the "blondes are sluts" meme (one spread by less desirable women and less desirable males).

He's said it on official commentaries, in interviews, at cons, and those words even made it to the product description on Amazon. Granted he says it in the context of Yang at first seeming to be a party girl but later you see her as someone with a more caring & maternal nature but he forgot to actually write the misdirect. It's that disconnect between intent and execution again.

>C. We're later told about Ilia having to hide her heritage in an Atlas school which serves to make that funky faunus fit even worse.

There is one far too easy answer for it all. Neon could say she was putting on a brave face since she has endured crap (her attitude being it's easier to party and distance yourself from what you are to have a better life, or she's trying to unite people and faunus in her own way- by showing how fun and friendly Faunus can be).

The other way being the only people who hate Faunus in Atlas are the elite, while the lower class are "all in it together"- as is typical for the liberal view of racism. Although not entirely untrue in individual cases where the "outsider" gets along with the community, and the upper class still see them as the same as their worst and "need to be helped" (used).

Instead I bet we'll get FNKI (or just Flynt and Neon) either reluctantly working for Atlas, or Neon lost her job/status/freedom due to security reasons. "Doesn't matter how much you act like they want you to, they'll always betray you! Now go back to making rap music Neon, I'd like to invest my sheckles into your career."

Not to mention it's odd how a Faunus doesn't whip her head around at the mention of the surname Belladona. Imagine if Ironwood was competent:

> Season 3 has Blake find Neon despondent or crying after losing and getting chewed out by Ironwood.

> She's worried she's just a token Faunus for Atlas. "I'm not a huntress, I'm the Faunus girl."- Highlighting how rare it is when you could describe her like that and not mix it up with anyone else.

> Blake almost says she doesn't get how being treated better because of who you are is as bad as being treated poorly, before she catches herself and sympathizes more. She somehow get to talk to Ironwood about Neon. "Hm? Ah yes the Faunus girl, please sit." ~ Same sentence, but not said with malice. Important in showing how you can interpret malice where there is none.

> Ironwood reveals he knows Blake is Ghiras daughter. Rather than arrest her he just wants to "talk". Ironwood basically says how he doesn't care about Fauns stuff, he just makes calculations. Whoever would make the best huntsmen or what sort of people are likely to cause problems in the Kingdoms. We also see hints he isn't happy with how Faunus are treated in dust mines, and it's more that both them and the military need the Schnee Company to survive.

> After some verbal jousting about Faunus stuff, he reveals he was testing her resolve in an argument. Since Blake wasn't afraid to hold back, but still mostly kept her cool, he's willing to offer her a job when she graduates. He's faux subtle that Blake will probably end up undercover in the White Fang and other Faunus groups, to help prevent bloodshed. Blake is a little conflicted, but says she'll think on it since she has until graduation.

> After she leaves, it's revealed either Neon was in on the plan to lure her in, or Ironwood was deliberately heartless and played a gambit to make Blake come to him.

The only point I learned from your post is that faunus "racism" should have never been introduced. Giving a wacky character like Neon some dark past just so she can fit in the same country as an uppity dyke named Ilia (whose parents are DEAAAD) shows that.

They should have just made the White Fang an army of mercs who were founded in Faunusland by Blake's parents. Adam takes control and moves the WF into a more brutal direction. Blake leaves and heads to Beacon.

Well, to be fair, wasn't she and everyone else back at the ranch, under the influence of those grimms? So we can't really say that Yang was being fully genuine, but regardless, I agree with you on everything else.

This is the problem that I and many others always had with rwby, other than the """plot""", was the lack of goals for the characters. Honestly, if more characters actually had their own independent goals separate from the """plot""", then we woulnd't be in this mess we are in right now. Because like you said, everyone doesn't know what to even do right now, other than to try and go to Atlas for a cause that they themselves hardly believe anymore anyway.

In short, V5 was a mistake.

I had hoped that the ranch episodes would bring an answer to that the hell RWBYJNPR was supposed to do next after the Jinn reveal, instead the ranch episodes turned out to be filler and the legitimate questions raised were waved away as Grimm influence, only to be postponed to this episode again which still doesn't try to fucking answer it and instead tries to distract us with other secondary plot threads.

Something as essential as character goals and the plans to accomplish them isn't just something that can be procrastinated. It's incredibly frustrating to see the characters (other than Ruby, for once) come to a complete standstill, and answers to vital questions be postponed over and over. We're seeing more of the world and we're getting more backstory, but none of that is really connected to the main plot or main characters (aside from, again, Ruby), which looks especially more silly considering the bloated size of the main cast.

I'm not saying that a moment like this of rediscovering your goals should never occur in a story, but it should not take over four episodes of the main characters meandering about doing fuck-all to rediscover their goals while we get distracted by random secondary plot threads.

And all the melodrama is over something that had little impact on what they were doing already. Ozpin made no promises to end Salem. Qrow NEVER mentioned doing so was important to his service. And his action with the rest of his posse besides Ruby's more or less shows they not only don't really care much about the safety of others outside their little spheres but Qrow isn't really ashamed of his background as a bandit shaking down townsfolk.

Immortality problems are new ideas not theorized in this universe, it is unfathomable. In our universe, were creativity and ingenuity evolved us as top prey, allowed us to question Eternal life, so much, we are medically reaching that point. Ironically, this questions was first sought in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and answered in the Thousands Arabian Nights with malicious Djinn. You have to contextualize "what characters and the status quo" actually is on their universe, not ours.

We are godless, they have 2 gods that left, and a judgement. I don't want to rant more about ethos.

>Ruby's first response isn't "My mother had silver eyes."

You really are an idiot.

Tell me, when you were 15, did you really think "Oh, my Dad had X eyes, and my Mom Y hair, so I must be adopted?"

Take a moment.

Ruby is 17, under a lot of stress, seeking guidance from an elder, and in a difficult position.

Can you really imagine yourself 17 being responsible for keeping everyone and everything together?!?

Place yourself in the characters role,of course that thought didn't even register. She was thinking "How do I lazer Grimm!" Not "What does this all mean? Did my dead mom that I barely recall even had silver eyes and also shot Grimm lazers?!?"

This scene is actually well done, two or three things off.

That Yoda mind thing is going to be difficult for Ruby to theorize, achieve, and maintain, she's never had mental training, she's the youngest before Oscar.

Some people, I tell you.

Surprised they didn't make the short woman a Captain Hook reference- have her bitter to Maria since she didn't save her hand in time. Still, I do like she's the first Atlas person to act like what we've been told Atlas is like. Even if she does have ideas far above her station. They took a comic scene that could have been much more heavy- her saying Atlas is happy to go to war is a big deal.

Even though the "we can't win" pity party sucks, I do like Jaune's frustration and anger considering he lost Pyrrah. Shame that no one else really leaps to their feet to hold him back from pummeling a child. On a very minor note, seems weird he'd go upstairs afterwards as oppose to out of the house.

And we haven't really learned anything new about the Silver Eyes.

Very much a filler ep, but very little to go wrong as well.

>>37139

>>37141

What bugs me more is that it's a simple answer even the writers can't put to paper.

Salem is a never ending force- that will keep pushing. Though sheer odds, there will come a time when she gets all the maidens, and can get all the relics. So if you gather them up yourselves, you can hide them better. Less protection, but more obscuring. Put them in the hands of decent Huntsmen to keep moving with them until you get world peace. Then if the Relics come together, it's no biggie.

It's a very long term goal (and may not even work depending how effective Salem's spy network/grim orbs/magical scrying are)- but a perfect allegory for the fight against the Grimm and something Ozpin should have mentioned in his speech to the students.

The Grimm are a never ending force- that will keep pushing. Through sheer odds, there will come a time when they kill people despite a Huntsmen's best efforts. So you keep fighting, encouraging working together, until a solution for destroying or negating all Grimm is found.

>>37146

>>37147

>Put her in a goddamn box and drop it in the fucking ocean. Problem. Solved.

<Immortality problems are new ideas not theorized in this universe, it is unfathomable.

Issue is we don't know the extent of her powers. Either she has some magic left or Grimm powers (glass shattering scream, giant castle, ability to give other people Grimm parts). Because we know so little of the rules of magic or Grimm, we don't know what would or would not work.

I.e. Can she a get sea-serpent Grim to break her out of that box via Grimm-control-telepathy? If Ozpin uses his last bit of magic or someone with a teleport semblance sends her into orbit, she wouldn't die in space- but would have no means to get back to earth (unless she has magic/force of will).

And they're not too impossible to consider. I refuse to believe with what Oz and Salem did, no story or myth of an immortal exists in Remnant. It's not like where we'd be cautious about wishes due to the many wish-granting stories we have, the Grimm gives every culture on that planet the same idea- how do you stop something that doesn't stop coming? Stories of being able to banish or lock-away an unstoppable foe are sure to rise in that setting.

Logically there should be nothing wrong with (assuming you could get close enough) restraining her and throwing her in the Remnant equivalent of the Mariana Trench, with a constant contingent of ships surrounding it to depth charge and torpedo anything that gets close. But the writers have given her no weaknesses. She can manipulate anyone, and survive any attack. In fact her only downside is who she's using to help her cause- they're all perfectly human. Which opens up the can of worms on why she doesn't lead the assaults (other than it risking uniting everyone against her, but that's an acceptable risk compared to letting RWBY get the relics). In fact, I wonder if she's intentionally getting people who are useless so RWBY does all the hard work and she can snatch the relics from them when they have them all- in true JRPG fashion.

And going back on those ideas to stopping Salem- why not do that to a Relic? Send it into a volcano or depths of the ocean. By the time you could retrieve them you will probably have world peace.

There's only one question from Djinn left, but it seems to be worth it to ask "How do we stop Salem?"

Yeah, but I still think that Atlas still should be considering fucking off due to the lack of economic reason to continue the mission. If anything, Atlas' presence in Argus is proof that they still want peace.

And to nitpick, I don't voice that fricative, so I would spell it Eheetsh. The 'A' sound is a slur from an eh to an ee, and 'ch' is a t sh consonant pair. And then the 'I' sound is a slur from ah to ee.

No, but I still think that it would be the first thing for Ruby to think about, asked the generic question "What do you know about silver eyes?" I'm actually expecting her to have less of her shit together than she does. Watching it again, you are right about her mindset through the whole conversation, as the question is more along the lines of "What hearsay do you know about people with silver eyes?", but I'm still upset that she doesn't mention it to grandma.

To further clarify this remark: as Huntsmen, they mitigate forces of nature. They manage wildlife. Throwing Salem into the ocean, or locking her into a vault like one of the relics were, is a long-term mitigation strategy. No, they can't defeat her, but they can manage her like they manage the Grimm (which apparently some now have special powers that would require special management). At which point, Salem would be reduced to the trope of a Demon Lord who returns periodically and has to be fought back again. I am disappointed that people who were supposed to be trained to manage and mitigate hostile wildlife for which they had no solution are despondent that they cannot solve yet another hostile wild animal.

Your whole argument is sophist bullshit. In our world, no one is immortal. We imagined gods that were "immortal", but it was a though experiment. Your argument is that just because real gods existed in their world, that magically they would not contemplate the ramifications of immortality. They are surprised that Salem can't be killed because they have never met anything that could not be killed (just as you or I would be). And because they've never met anything that couldn't be killed, they would have a list of horrible, inhumane ways to kill someone that would also deter an immortal being for a fair period of time.

The huntresses should know well that Grimm have been around for many many many years.

Especially Ozpin knowingly putting civilians at risk got a far smaller overreaction.

Nobody tried to object about how Qrow punched Oscar and otherwise abused him besides Ruby. By this point, it looks like only Blake and Ruby among their posse with Jaune's have something like an honest desire to protect more their immediate spheres. Considering Blake's past, she should see where Ozpin is coming from (trying to help only for your efforts to end in disaster from those you help being overly shortsighted or falling into beasts, needing to lie since you fear rejection).

>>37154

>Jaune goes on some triad that Ozpin is to blame for everything all his schemes all his plans over the centuries have been nothing but complete and utter failures

Except they weren't. Humanity is still alive and not enslaved or destoyed by Salem. Pyrrha made her choice and still chose to fight when she could have retreated. If Ozpin was better written he'd say that and also that Qrow should be grateful that he gave him a life that doesn't end in him being dead in a ditch or squatting in a tent.

Yeah, the hatred of Ozpin is so forced, guy did literally nothing wrong yet the other characters treat him like he's almost as evil as Salem because he didn't want to crush their hopes by telling them that Salem is nearly impossible to kill.

Shit, the only reason humanity is even still alive is most likely because of Ozpin.

The only thing like a mistake he made when traveling with RWBY was not telling the relic was dangerous and that he had something to tell them about it but had to wait until it was safe to talk. He might have also tried to discourage interest in Jinn by telling RWBY ahead that it answers all questions but only a few times an era and has been already used so they should only save it as a last resort.

Otherwise he acted well considering human behavior and Salem's might. He might have been better off if he didn't bother letting humans make choices when it's against what the gods would want and go full god-emperor. Or just researching means to compel obedience in say, Qrow.

>Shit, the only reason humanity is even still alive is most likely because of Ozpin.

Humanity's reached the point to produce technology to fend off grimm. He surely enabled that to happen, and all without lording over humans as their god.

Again, Ozpin just taking some kids and a manbaby whining at him then running away into Oscar instead of telling them to know their place then telling Qrow he can just go crawl back to his deadbeat sister is weak writing. Someone who fought in such a long war without curling in the fetal position today should have more fortitude. This can only be salvaged if the kiddies and Qrow all admit they were being babies or Ozpin writes them off as failures, hijacks Oscar since he's acted against him, steals the relic, and runs off to start anew or begin work to summon gods back.

Ah, filter me then. I meant the definition, which means you really can't place yourself in others' shoes.

The conversion is useless if you cannot comprehend "immortality" isn't a RWBY word, until Djinn introduced 7 people about it, from a person nobody knows they exist.

Even our Grimm Reaper didn't even know Salem existed, just that she was thought after.

>though experiment

Have RWBY ever exemplified qualities to even be capable of thought experimentation?

>Your argument is

Nice bias

>that just because real gods existed in their world, that magically they would not contemplate the ramifications of immortality

It's like you ignored the very episode that was spent emphasizing how Salem strung the former epoch away, with lies and a promise.

Did you not consider Salem & Ozma already tried pretending to be gods didn't work, so Salem changed her tactics entirely after learning the truth [about judgement]?

How many millennia has it been, humans and faunus have forgotten the histories of the former epochs? Never mind the literal indoctrination being exemplified and revealed in this very volume.

You didn't give the thoughts "the Remnant are not even their iron age, but worse than the dirt age, (((dust)))"

>>37156

>Salem being immortal and unkillable by mortals has little impact on what they were doing and where they were going. This is forced drama to setback RWBY after recent losses for the villains. Especially Ozpin knowingly putting civilians at risk got a far smaller overreaction.

I think you'd find everyone is well aware of this, and mostly agrees, including me.

I'm just observing the execution of this episode, and the lack of empathy of someone that cannot immerse themselves in another universe with other rules and world ideas.

You'd think "spaceships and lazers" would be ridiculous, but wait until you read Grimm, dust, Faunus, Magic, etc., you'd be called a lunatic in our world.

>>37157

>didn't know spyspic fought with dual swords.

Oh, I agreed. But in Spain there's this whole swordsmanship class of arts, and if we go by Caribbean pirate martial arts, Croc-Captain Hook starts reading more familiar, and more that wild style. Though in our world dual sword styles have been proven ineffective. I already discussed how Croc should have fought and handled situations with her semblance. I think everyone agreed it was stupidly written, and executed.

Zorro the masked swordsman should come to mind here.

Although Shinobi kidnapping should have been her style.

Just imagine if teens had ideas on how to go to war with an unstoppable force, and with people and resources that don't want to cooperate and help. You'd find a very realistic world, similar to ours. We can't all be Thanos with an infinity gauntlet, now can we?

what bothers me is how nobody even stopped to ask whether it's necessary to kill Salem instead of considering other options, especially after it's been made clear that she can't be killed to begin with, after everyone is shown her history and that she is/was human (albeit twisted), and none of these shrimps even having killed an actual human being before

I think part of it can be attributed to everyone blindly following Ozpin's "master plan", though it only makes the main cast appear more foolish and less capable of introspection

The conditions for them not to destroy humanity is for them to be unified. GoL expects humans to clean up their act with Ozpin overseeing it otherwise it's the end for them when the Brothers return.

>V6C9 Peek with unfinished audio & compositing errors.

V6C8 Reaction:

<I hate being right about them wasting the Official Huntsman License bit they set up in V6C1. What's the value of being a Huntsman? Yeah, fine, treat any citizen of a another kingdom that way but if having a Huntsman rank means anything it should be reflected in how Qrow is treated here. But since the character's a useless drunk maybe I'm over thinking it. It doesn't bother that his attitude gets in his way since I've never seen him as cool, he's always been grating at best.

<Here again Weiss looks to Blake for affirmation of something instead of just stepping forward. Didn't they do this enough last volume? Isn't this the time to put on airs & use the Schnee name for whatever you can get?

<And shouldn't verification of Weiss' identity involve some sort of technological aspect? This is Atlas we're dealing with here in a world where semblances allow people to cast illusions.

<Shame they didn't just seize possession of her. Given how Ozpin proved everybody had poor reaction times in V6C2, the Atlesian soldiers could have taken Weiss inside the gates before any of R_BY or Qrow could even draw their weapons.

<The staging for this scene reads awkwardly. It feels like they're clustered together in a small room instead of being out in the open.

<Why would Calavera need to travel to the Kingdom of Atlas just to have her eyes serviced? Does that mean if Yang's prosthetic arm ever needs repair she'd have to go all the way to Atlas from wherever she was on Remnant?

<Did they get the shots backward? Why do they show the gate opening in a wide shot then go in close to show it unlock and open again?

<Why are the nameplates and patches blank? And does it feel odd that they introduce Cordoven as Special Operative without saying her rank?

<After missing the chance to show us the wider culture of Atlas back in V4, I don't get why Kerry&Miles thought this scene was a good idea. This is supposed to be the largest Atlas military base outside of it's main kingdom? Was the scale on the map way off or did the showrunners not think this through?

<Also been hating whatever is going on with the hair this volume. Whether it's the shading or underlying construction, it's just ugly and distracting. How do they manage to have worse looking hair with more powerful software?

<That joke would have worked if Cordoven was assigned to a base off of Menagerie.

<Nice to see that they've had Blake spayed since V1. Someone makes an obvious verbal jab at her and all she can do is put on a sad face and droop her cat ears. Stop pandering to furries and remember Blake's character, Miles&Kerry!

<Much like Weiss, I don't get what this moment is trying to convey. Why is Ruby telling her again that they won't leave her side?

<I'll never not find it funny how Qrow's drinking is supposed to be such a bad thing now. The fandom's favorite "druncle". He was introduced as a lout and is just being true to form. His careless blabbing to Leo almost cost them the relic back in V5 and made me empathize with Raven's desire to kill him.

<I didn't comment on it last episode but their writing of Nora has been so inconsistent with regard to Ozpin/Oscar that it disturbs the story. This latest bit of dialogue from her about Ozpin usually knowing what to do is just a lie. The most recent example was just a couple weeks back, where he blundered them into an ambush at Haven that nearly got them all killed.

No new chapter until the 29th.

back to the V6C8 Reaction.

<So it's JN_R's turn to learn the news of Salem's immortality. This enemy you didn't know existed before a couple months ago is unkillable, but nobody ever told you that killing her was the goal. And why is that the thing that everybody is getting hung up on? Why not the existence of the gods, or the fact that humanity was wiped out previously and may be so again?

<I don't think I'll ever understand how the audience is supposed to relate when the characters reactions to learning the "secret history of the world" is so uniform.

<Hah! Is Blake angling to run away again? Please?

<Guess we'll chalk up the presence of butterflies and citrus trees to magic since the climate is so cold in Argus.

<Defeat the purpose? No, that line was purposeless. It's either a compliment or Calavera's words don't mean anything. There's a difference between being inscrutable and being insufferable.

<There's no way Calavera could reach Ruby from where she's sitting even with her cane/scythe.

<Why is Ruby's chest just a flat expanse with no detail? Give her a cleavage line at least.

<All of Calavera's words here conflict with how we saw her use Silver-Eyes in the V6C7 flashback. She was literally covering her own ass because she decided to show off instead of finishing the Giant Nevermore quickly.

<There's no real tension in the ending. Finding out Oscar's gone should be significant but it just lands flat.

Just like in Vale or Haven, I ask where the Mistrali soldiers are? If Atlas is pulling back then Mistral's soldiers should be more present to provide city security.

The lack of a fortified Argus sea wall bothers because we've seen from V4C3 that dangers exist in Remnant's oceans. Hope they don't do an homage to Godzilla.

They just defanged Weiss here since they (writers) obviously want Ruby to be the one who breaks the slump the team found themselves. Being the designated protagonist and all.

>And shouldn't verification of Weiss' identity involve some sort of technological aspect? This is Atlas we're dealing with here in a world where semblances allow people to cast illusions.

Or at least have Weiss show some identification that would satisfy a checkpoint. Or show the guards as sloppy since they don't really give a damn about their job.

>Shame they didn't just seize possession of her. Given how Ozpin proved everybody had poor reaction times in V6C2, the Atlesian soldiers could have taken Weiss inside the gates before any of R_BY or Qrow could even draw their weapons.

Jacques stripped Weiss of her inheritance and I doubt he wants her around anytime soon. She wouldn't have importance for James Ironwood by herself regardless of Winter being her sister.

>Why would Calavera need to travel to the Kingdom of Atlas just to have her eyes serviced? Does that mean if Yang's prosthetic arm ever needs repair she'd have to go all the way to Atlas from wherever she was on Remnant?

I "think" the idea of Remnant is that for all its shiny new technology it's still a post-apocalyptic hole for a lot of the world. Calavera needs to travel since the know-how on how to fix her eyes properly isn't in wherever she lives.

>After missing the chance to show us the wider culture of Atlas back in V4, I don't get why Kerry&Miles thought this scene was a good idea. This is supposed to be the largest Atlas military base outside of it's main kingdom? Was the scale on the map way off or did the showrunners not think this through?

It's like how Menagerie is SUPPOSED to be a crowded dump of a country that humans more or less exiled the faunus to, but when we see it looks like a tropical paradise.

>Nice to see that they've had Blake spayed since V1. Someone makes an obvious verbal jab at her and all she can do is put on a sad face and droop her cat ears. Stop pandering to furries and remember Blake's character, Miles&Kerry!

I still find her overreaction to Ozpin silly. You'd THINK she might see where Ozpin is coming from with how she not only lied about what she was but worked to help her kind only for it to blow up in her face.

>I'll never not find it funny how Qrow's drinking is supposed to be such a bad thing now. The fandom's favorite "druncle". He was introduced as a lout and is just being true to form. His careless blabbing to Leo almost cost them the relic back in V5 and made me empathize with Raven's desire to kill him.

If Ozpin was better written he'd point out how any other commander would have canned him after that mess with other antics of Qrow's like how he picked a fight with Winter yet he still kept him around since he found a worthy purpose for him.

>>37169

Again, the whole "OZPIN LIES TO UZZ" whining is just a cheap way to setback the heroes after the villains got setback (Cinder defeated and missing, Adam's attempt on the lives of Blake's family foiled and his troops lose trust in him). They don't dwell on what the flashback means for their world, their history, and where both are going since that's not the point of the flashback.

>I don't think I'll ever understand how the audience is supposed to relate when the characters reactions to learning the "secret history of the world" is so uniform.

They try to make the melodrama something that impacts the whole party. Even though only some of the team actually knew Ozpin enough and none of them seem to be all that bothered over him knowingly putting civilians at risk. Like I said on 4ch's rwbyg, Blake and Weiss shouldn't have been so belligerent about Ozpin that they'd threaten harm to Qrow just for him having his hand up (and again, Blake SHOULD see something she shares with Ozpin).

>There's no real tension in the ending. Finding out Oscar's gone should be significant but it just lands flat.

If that's not a buildup to Ozpin planning to cut ties with RWBY and seize the relic then whatever.

Atlas has got a lot of holdings in the other 3 kingdoms, engineers should be on hand to maintain the equipment. But maybe you're right and I'm presuming too much. Atlas could have extremely strict controls on the export of their technology. Calavera's "eyes" could be a highly specialized bit of technology. Which opens up the question of why a vagabond former Huntress was given these "eyes" in the first place? Or maybe we'll see, when we eventually get to see the actual kingdom of Atlas, that tech like this is fairly common.

>I still find her overreaction to Ozpin silly.

Silly but true to character for someone caught up in a belief system the way Blake is. She couldn't even bring herself to see that Ozpin was giving her a chance to be straight with him because to Blake he was just one of "DUH RACIS HUMANZ." Thanks for reminding me that Blake gets to join Yang in the "hypocrites can't judge Ozpin for keeping secrets club". Rushing the reunion of team RWBY is just hurting all the characters.

>If Ozpin was better written he'd point out how any other commander would have canned him after that mess with other antics of Qrow's like how he picked a fight with Winter yet he still kept him around since he found a worthy purpose for him.

His respect for individual choice means that he gets screwed over more often than not. Salem manipulates & straight up controls people. The only reason she hasn't won is that those she controls tend to self-destruct in stupidity before they can accomplish their goals e.g., Cinder, Adam, & Hazel.

And now I'm wondering how Ozpin deals with echoes, when he encounters people who strongly remind him of those he's known throughout his lifetimes.

>Like I said on 4ch's rwbyg, Blake and Weiss shouldn't have been so belligerent about Ozpin that they'd threaten harm to Qrow just for him having his hand up (and again, Blake SHOULD see something she shares with Ozpin).

That moment will always feel like something they took way too far or an idea they had but didn't really think through its implications.

>If that's not a buildup to Ozpin planning to cut ties with RWBY and seize the relic then whatever.

Unfortunately that moment from the episode where Ren asks, "…then how are we supposed to win this?" and Oscar very deliberately looks at Ruby probably means that Ozpin's not going anywhere. Not willingly anyway.

This isn't about empathy. It's about believably. The writers have constructed a world which is not believable to me. I cannot place myself in the very world that has been created because it lacks primitive philosophy. Even retarded Africans in mud huts have considered the ramifications of immortality. No, I cannot conceive of a world that is more philosophically impoverished than the niggers of Africa.

Look, you got me on what Ruby said to grandma, and I conceded as much. I wanted a bonding moment between Ruby and grandma (reminiscing about their silver-eyed parent) that probably wasn't in a good place for it. But you have provided me with nothing but "Listen and Believe (tm)" as to why Ruby and Co should have a problem with Salem's immortality. Why do they need to defeat her, given that they signed up for a lifetime of managing Grimm? Why can't they come up with alternatives to defeating her, and have just entered the "Anger" stage of grief?

Barely trained as huntsmen, in their teens, and you want them to be able to solve mad immortal magical warlock. Tell me who's more ridiculous. I place myself in Qrow's shoes: "I need a drink."

>Why can't they come up with alternatives to defeating her, and have just entered the "Anger" stage of grief?

Yes m8, how do you defeat an immortal warlock hell bent on destroying civilization as we know it, and no one believes your sad sorry tale because magic doesn't exist in our universe. Imagine they can summon the hellspawn we know as Grimm.

Wouldn't you be called a lunatic?

>Oscar can resist Ozpin. If Oz tried to run off, Oscar could stop him.

We saw in life 2, and volume 5 how Ozma can completely control their hosts. Qrow wasn't kidding when he said: "Don't lie to him."

I'd write that Atlas has a monopoly on such technology and so has arrangements so that other countries have to get access to it on their terms. A piece like Yang's shiny new metal arm would just be a rare exception if not traced to Atlas.

But we weren't shown Ozpin hurting faunus as a race or otherwise interacting with them to a significant amount in his flashback.

Exactly. But nothing suggests "immortality exists, and um, there's magic, and she can control Grimm. How do we defeat this? No, I'm not kidding. No, I'm not 'a kid hung up on fairytales.' What do you mean we don't have the man power, what happened with Lionheart?!?"

I'm not saying he isn't wrong to be disheartened by the little if awful explanation of silver eyes. It's just I wouldn't get frustrated by two scums trying to recon what they were in Monty's mind. So I empathize with the ranter, but I don't feel frustrated, I feel comic: it's a spit on an autistic animator that wanted to create something with merchants like Burnie Burns, Matt Hullum, Yvonne Secretan , and Ezra Cooperstein. With kikes, you always lose.

I certainly agree Monty got kiked, but I think the worrying part is, most of the major/early details probably were his ideas as oppose to retcons.

Even a lot of good anime (and a lot of media TBH) has mile wide plot holes- but you don't notice because you're entertained. We were picking at the plot even in Seasons 1 and 2, but with shit more like Samurai Jack (weird world rarely explained) or even full blown Dead Fantasy (no to little voice acting or explanation of the world, just fight after fight) we wouldn't care about any of this.

Still I can't blame the guy. I do blame M&K who have had a lot longer to learn from their mistakes, and they keep making new ones. Fixing problems while keeping the story going is hard, so I'm less harsh on them there. But we keep getting basic story telling mistakes, political soap-boxing, and even in this "apology season" a little arrogance still (like making a joke about being in the house too much).

>>37194

Large casts can work (One Piece and to an extent Hunter x Hunter)- you have various factions that dip in and out while your core is still the focus. Not that we should not have had the school years, but it almost feels like RWBY would have functioned better if the main characters from the start were exploring/traveling all over Remnant. Then again, that's sort of what we got with this season and season 4, and it ain't exactly been a journey of spectacle and wonder.

It's on purpose, watch the interview. Mike expressed he doesn't know how to keep congruency, and admitted some parts about Jaune heavily conflict.

Other media is other media. I can take artistic shows like Samurai Jack and Courage the Cowardly Dog, and separate them from lore centric pieces.

I didn't expect RWBY to be detailed, or consistent. These were amateurs copying models they found online and rigging them to make a meme story. I don't expect logical autoritas, if I did, I'd read a documentary.

If M&K cared, the scripts would have been written years ago, not on the fly.

One Piece's plot and world structure is far more suited to its cast number than RWBY. It also has more factions that are relevant to its plot than RWBY. OP has:

>Shichibukai

>World Government's other forces

>Yonkou

>Revolutionaries

RWBY has more or less Salem's posse and RWBY's posse. Even the White Fang has lost all its "good members" to RWBY.

Two years since the fall of beacon. This was well executed, if you recall the very first episode. A hometown star isn't easily forgotten in a "small" city.

And like Maria's influence as the Grimm Reaper, this is just a plot point that appears and shines through this scene and not beyond it. Aside from that, this is a pretty nice scene from JNR. Just needs to be written better and have it give off the fact that JNR, mostly Jaune, actually loved Pyrrha as she was and not as she wass praised as.

Overall, I stated before about the "Aww it okay, we forgive you let's save the world. Ganbatte ne!"… But I was kidding! I didn't know they will actually fall on that idea! And how they paid it all off with Oscar's return had no genuine payoff.

Bet you never watched any Batman, or Final Fantasies. Mercury here is the Ninja troupe, from the Legend of the Three Kingdoms.

Did you know™ Batman was inspired by Ninjustu?!? And Batman is a technically Ninja through and through?

In Batman, Villians and Heroes were both given times to reflect. And guess what, Apathy got in the way our heroes, while our Neo and upcoming "Oolong" will be our villians' whale. Oh wait, Oedipus Journey formula is too complex for our niglet, let's use Naruto language. Huh um, so, Orichimaru is going to have trouble with Third Hokage soon, yeah!

>probably be the Zuko,

Cinder's literal symbolism has been conscripted by Monty himself. Mai's just realizing she's been working on the wrong side of evil. Salem isn't as loyal and trustworthy as faithful Cinder.

>better if Jaune finds Oscar somewhere and they actually talk

Can't happen, didn't we want Ozpin to just fuck it and end it all?

Maybe Ozpin really is our Oolong. What the fuck is he going to ask….

>with blind faith because we can't have genuine questions of existence

Neat 17 year old, trained in noticing the little details of an actor and liar, actually regretfully of his mistakes, inspired by a loved one to "try even if it's hopeless." I sure he picked up on that, and so did drunk Qrow, and an old lady with bad eyesight that only experienced Oscar, hasn't really met Ozpin.. Sure as heck they are just fooling you. April Fools!

>They proved time and time again Atlas Military is fucking ass.

I'll be honest, I haven't seen Atlas military in action whatsoever, and want to see it. Like Qrow said: "You mean these weak toys?!?"

>Ruby… you wouldn't have survived throughout this show without an adult saving you or telling you what to do.

Oh boy, let's see:

1) Saved shop keeper's business by herself

2) Lead a team of strangers to eliminate a Nevermore

3) Lead a secret mission that found some criminals in the city

5) Lead her team to stop a terrorist plot

6) Actually sabotaged and deterred an enemy force from destroying a city

7) Recruits a new team after her team separates to continue her life's mission/journey/"destiny"

8) Manages to work flawlessly under orders, and saves their savior&mentor

I dunno mang, obeying orders like a sissy, like you are good at, she did well.

Because that's how character's work with the lore and world building they are in . RWBY didn't have time for that because we gotta excuse their poor reflection with the "Zombie Aura" that was merely jobbed by Ruby's Silver Eyes.

>Cinder's literal symbolism has been conscripted by Monty himself. Mai's just realizing she's been working on the wrong side of evil. Salem isn't as loyal and trustworthy as faithful Cinder.

Basically they might make Emerald the eventual good guy out of what she is reflecting on. Knowing RT's love for unoriginality and lazy copies…

>Neat 17 year old, trained in noticing the little details of an actor and liar, actually regretfully of his mistakes, inspired by a loved one to "try even if it's hopeless."

I'm just saying that being given the world's biggest infodump without a moment of "wtf are we tackling here" would take a little more than just one walk and a "let's try to kill an immortal!" I know RWBY ain't great at lore and philosophies, but they can at least try.

>I dunno mang, obeying orders like a sissy, like you are good at, she did well.

It would have been better if they didn't put the "FUCK YOU ADULTS!" (Note that she didn't pick the word "Authority") Angle in that speech as that would have stated that RWBY only got where they were PURELY by themselves, basically discrediting the genuine adult help and guide they got over the volume. So really Ruby's speech still did not make a lick of sense anyway.

Nothing for you to rage over.

I think this is just about Emerald doubting her own position in Team Salem without Cinder, and Mercury telling her to suck it up by telling her that at least being in a team that gave a shit about him is better than being abused by a dad to the point of murder.

>So when are they going to resolve this whole 'Qrow's drunken-ness is fucking over the team' thing? I'm already getting tired of it.

The problem is more that Qrow's somehow reacting to the ridiculously huge chain of events that happened in the chapter that RWBY didn't. He realized that Oz is a liar, there is a huge lore infodump that can destroy everything they believe in, his childhood hero retired early because she was defeated too easily by a bandit, and he most likely isn't getting the trust of Atlas and Ozpin to complete their mission. It wasn't a good reaction and RWBY merely just thinks of Qrow as muh useless drunk now while they care more about defeating Salem than the big philosophically-clashing infodump, but at least we can state that Qrow's pure drunk pessimism isn't at least without reason.

>Like that everyone's sucking up to Oscar now without really talking things through. Guess all he needed were some ass pats.

I'm actually a bit suspicious about that. Mostly on that he might actually be Oz taking over Oscar while pretending to be him. But yeah, if they actually have genuine friendship moments between actual Oscar and the team… Let's call him Ozcar for now. May be wrong bout it, but eh.

Damage control for having QRNJR stay in the house for a whole volume.

< Fucking Qrow. But he does have a good point: "I'm glad you kids worked out… uh… whatever all that was"

All this because Ozcar wanted to shop at Hot Topic.

< Actually, the switch to "kids vs adults" makes sense here, given that she is arguing against Qrow's view of everyone as a group of children. See quote from previous line.

It felt more like Qrow's doubt was because of the Atlas Military being too stronk (on paper) and they were planning to go rogue stealing an airship. But hey Ruby's "We are big girls" speech works anyway because protagonists, so whatever. Plus, it might give Qrow two options:

1. Qrow gets underestimated and tells Ruby to be the ultimate leader because that's how Ruby goes.

2. Qrow is about to die. Ruby realizes her fuckup. Silver Eye Bomb Mode.

Mercury has 180'd but at least he's acting like I expected him to. Always thought his charismatic nature around others was an act, though I did think his friendship with Emerald was genuine. Both Emerald and Mercury's attitudes here needed build up- scenes where Emerald felt more isolated and missing Cinder (even if she realizes Cinder was manipulating her) and Mercury feeling like he can be himself more (cold and self-serving)- with Hazel's punishment being a big push for both of them rather than the sole incident.

Shame we had a "blink and miss it" moment with the fact Mercury's Dad could steal semblances though it makes a lot more sense why Cinder wanted to hire him now. The downside is- I'd rather have had him than Mercury now.

Mercury's character isn't interesting enough to stop someone with more interesting powers to seem more appealing (same problem with Tyrion compared to Tock). Or more the fact an alternate blank slate seems preferable.

What difference would it make if Mercury never had a semblance? Because it seems like none. His motives could still be the same. "I work harder because there will always be someone stronger- a semblance, someone faster, someone with a bigger gun- it's kill or be killed."

Tyrion still gets on my nerves. I think if you dropped the constant laughter and made his emotional swings seem more genuine (or better masked) that he would seem more unstable rather than babies first Joker rip-off. Imagine if he spoke like he genuinely cared about Emerald and Mercury being happy before going back to the threat.

Is it just me or are the mundane animations really crappy and choppy this episode? The sparring between Emerald and Mercury, JNR + Sis moving faster than they are walking.

Also- if Oscar still has his scroll, text him. Blow it up with constant messages. If he thinks Jaune is out of the picture he may come back. And speaking of- why the fuck is Jaune suddenly guilt ridden? Glad to see he doesn't need introspection, because now his justified anger last time looks like a tantrum.

I can ignore what would compel Jaune to follow a leaf, I can even understand why Pyrrah would get a statue, assuming this is her home town- even if it is devoid of pseudo-Greek influence like her clothes suggest, Like Ren with his home town, what gets me more is that Jaune should know this exists, and that no one has told him. Even if he was avoiding all info about Pyrrah due to how painful it is, it surprises me he never came to this place before in the days he was here. Not even his own sister brought it up now or in the past. "Hey, I moved to that town with that Pyrah girl you mentioned, she's kind of a mini-celeb here since she did so well as a huntress. Not to mention that Pumpkin Pete contest." "Jaune, there's a… Memorial in the park nearby. You don't have to go, but if you want, I'm happy to take you there. Or just show you the way and give you privacy." Nora and Ren could even have known about this even if we assume Jaune didn't tell his sister about his crush since Pyrah would have mentioned her home-town.

I'm also shocked the statue isn't controversial. Her semblance "killed" Penny and started the grim attack on the Vytal Festival and most of the civilized world. Not saying you need a scene of a drunk hurling stones at it so Jaune can have some more angst but come on.

The lighting is absolutely gorgeous though, and I'd love to see it in the whole show if not for how awful 3D anime characters look when realistic lighting is applied to them without serious texture work. though the eyes being shut on the statue is kinda off. It's abnormal is all

Is this VA the same as Pyrahs? The fake out of it being her didn't really work since her voice is deeper, but they got the pattern of her speech down perfectly. And then it pisses me off again that Jaune wouldn't know Pyrah's Mom, even after her death.

I do like how this scene is probably gonna be the motivation to make everyone get back to the task. Yes it's daft that they're having doubts in a job that is supposed to be endless- but any adventure should have doubts. If your cast are constantly wanting to forge ahead with no apprehension it makes it harder to show how challenging the task is. Even when you have a show where one person is fearless (One Piece, Gurren Lagan) those around that character can still act as the voice of reason or legitimate concern. You need peaks and valleys of emotion- and it feels like the valley wasn't deep enough for everyone to now get this peak.

My only other issue with this bit is that everyone should be here (rather than just a rallying speech from Jaune later). Sure Jaune has more affinity with this scene, but even their reaction to Jaune wanting to carry on could have been powerful. Here's a guy who was prepared to give up once he heard it was impossible, but he wants to carry on. If Jaune was also still mad at Oscar/Ozpin, this moment making him change his mind would also have more impact. Also, Nora saying "maybe we should keep fighting" and Jaune chirping in agreement undercuts it a little. Since Nora is usually the goofball it feels like it should be the other way around- even if everything is telling us Jaune has already decided that.

I do share your concerns this is all a bit heavy handed on the emotional manipulation, and if moments like this weren't mishandled before I'd be applauding this scene. If this is teasing at reincarnation or a ghost I will be furious though. Though it is better than Salem reviving her or making an evil clone.

I'm surprised Oscar is taking everything said to him in his stride. Apparently he had all his introspection off screen as well. Like others have said- Oscar should have been at the statue, maybe even the return of Ozpin. "I know I tell you all to keep fighting but it never gets easier to say and every loss still hurts." etc

I also think maybe a few people should have chimed up when Jaune mentioned his idea before being shot-down. Blake could be sneaky, Ruby's speed, someone could cause a distraction etc. Weiss couldn't really bribe anyone for an airship since she's been cut off financially. I'm also willing to bet Weiss losing her heritage is now major news in anywhere Atlas has influence. Not to mention the Atlas guards weren't willing to drag her back forcefully, showing how little those with authority in Atlas care about her- so she won't be able to call in favors.

And I liked Ruby's speech until I read >>37212 's reasoning behind why it sucked, and it is true. She has saved the day without adult supervision numerous times, but the spirit and tone feel like a "fuck you you're not my real dad" tantrum instead of "We aren't kids anymore."

Overall: Objectively sub-par, subjectively OK.

>>37221

>Robots aren't human, and people empathized with Mercury's "leg fracture".

Even if people did rationalize that she wasn't a person (though machines that can convincingly pull off being alive get emotional responses from people), it was her death + Cinder's speech that made people realize "oh shit, why is Atlas making robots that look like people?" even though with Huntsmen and seemingly free movement, the threat of someone of great capability entering another nation and causing harm is already there- robot or not. The concern should be they could make a robot that looks like anyone. that started the Grimm disaster and is making war seem likely (though the dust embargo partially does that as well). I can't see a lot of Atlas soldiers liking the girl who indirectly will get them in trenches, even if it was their own scientists who made Penny.

<Super-skilled assassin does front-kick/punch combo like a white belt in karate.

<Why are tatami on the floor here? Where are Emerald's weapons?

<Emerald getting on Mercury's case over having a paper-thin character motivation would work if her own motivation wasn't stupidity. With Emerald's semblance there should have been no reason she was living on the streets and going hungry, yet there she was stealing expensive jewellery but unable to take care of herself.

<Family?! Ha! At least Mercury was allowed to point out how ridiculous that was.

<From Emerald's interrupted dialogue, we can see that it took the absence of Cinder for her to start getting introspective about things. Not teaming up with terrorists to destroy a kingdom an slaughter a lot of innocent people in V3, not when she found herself living in Salem's castle and watched Grimm ooze up out of those black pools in V4, not plotting to destroy another school and unleash chaos in another kingdom in V5. She's coming off very Ilia-like here.

<Emerald trying to fight Mercury in hand-to-hand… the jokes just write themselves this season.

<They exposition dumped Mercury's backstory, after 3 volumes of waiting, making it one of the most anti-climactic moments in the show.

<a Mercury vs Tyrian scuffle could've been some visual fun but this is not that type of show.

<Tyrian's problem is that he's just an offscreen badass. He's as much a screw-up as the rest of Salem's crew. He was sent to fetch Ruby back in V4 and ended up maimed along with failing to kill Qrow. Tyrian's on Qrow's level and Hazel was smacking Qrow around and calling him Susan. So there's no danger or foreboding here. No one's going to get hurt on camera. It's just another awkward exposition dump.

<Where's Hazel?

As other anons have pointed out Emerald and Mercury should be out looking for Cinder from the moment the found out she was still alive.

<Why is this the first we're hearing of Sanctum Academy being in this city?

<It's been 3 volumes now, please stop giving characters or their clothes white fur until you can make it look like fur.

<The originally planned V3 Pyrrha death would have given this scene some needed resonance. It falls flat because Kerry&Miles wrote Pyrrha committing suicide instead of having her sacrificing herself/being killed to protect something/someone.

This whole scene embodies the damage you can do when trying to patch things into the story. I knew there was trouble when there was no effort made to look up Pyrrha's surviving relatives. Now we get the absolve Jaune of guilt scene. He just stumbles across this memorial in a park and everything viewers have waited for gets flushed away with feelz music and nonsensical dialogue.

<This show keeps screwing up when talking about choice. Kerry&Miles this was bad just like Li Ren's "taking no action at all" dialogue in V4 and Oscar explaining away Gretchen's death to Hazel in V5. "She made a choice" vs "there wasn't a choice to make". You're not being deep or philosophical. You're just being contradictory and hiding behind feelz.

<Responsibility to try what? Yeah, she could have been a Huntress if she hadn't killed herself.

<Someone who loudly walks up in high heels disappears soundlessly when you look away.

<Come to think of it why aren't there more flowers or other trinkets/memorabilia at the memorial? Pyrrha was the Mistral regional champion 4 years running, she had to have been on more than just cereal boxes. And since it symbolizes one of many that died in the Fall of Beacon there should most definitely be a lot more here than just one bunch of flowers.

<No, Ren. Don't stop Jaune from realizing he's a screw up or next time his unthinking actions will actually get someone killed. What he did by charging Cinder put you all at risk. If Cinder wasn't stupid she'd have won the conflict the moment he did that.

<How did Ren and Nora hear what Jaune said to Cinder while they were across the room getting thrashed by Hazel?

<Nora, you and Ren haven't mentioned Pyrrha since she died. It's news to Jaune and the audience that the two of you feel anything about her.

<"Family." Again! OOooo the FEELZ! ME AM CRY!

<Yes, "she knew she wasn't going to win", that's why Ozpin told you and Pyrrha to go find people who could actually do something other than die a pointless death.

<No, the lesson of Pyrrha's life cannot be this idiocy from the mouth of Jaune… well maybe if it helps get rid of Nora.

<None of this makes you melting down her stuff to upgrade your weapons any less ghoulish Jaune.

<You all have scrolls/communicators that work over distance. You don't have to actually go back to the house, just call them.

Haven't seen anything Star Wars in years but Jaune's "steal an Atlas ship" idea feels like it comes from there somehow. As others have pointed out, they can get in the way Weiss' butler got her out. Weiss wasn't smart enough to escape from her father's house without help so I can't credit her with thinking up the idea to bribe a smuggler on her own.

Well, Qrow has never been the "sit with family" type ever. I'm sure for a niece who barely spent time with her, she feels that he should commune with them.

They really do seem incapable of subtlety when dealing with subjects like this. It always comes across as just playing on the audiences emotions because of that. What also hurts the scene is that they pushed it off for so long. Cinder killed Pyrrha in V3C12 and we finally get this scene in V6C9

Ruby has fully transitioned into the character that's always right because the writers say so. Remember Yang's reason for staying last volume is because Ruby "somehow always knows the right thing to do." Which is just as bad as Ren's line about how they've all grown.

>>37218

>I noticed that Emerald (and I assumed Mercury) had no motivation to stay immediately. Why didn't they split when shit went south at Haven? Honestly, they should have took off and found Cinder at the beginning of the season.

That's probably where the idea for this scene came from. Hazel, Emerald & Mercury had no real reason to go back to base just to tell Salem they'd failed. This isn't the 1980s He-Man cartoon, just talk to her through one of those Seer Grimm. So we've got characters just sitting around with nothing to do while story is happening elsewhere.

>>37219

>everyone knows her death somehow but not penny's death broadcasted live to everyone

Penny's death was mentioned by Lionheart in V5C1. And I don't know if they want to get into how the general public feels about Atlas sneaking a machine into the tournament. Even worse if they find out Atlas has been taking people's souls and stuffing them into android bodies.

>>37220

>Damage control for having QRNJR stay in the house for a whole volume.

They can't make up for it so they just need to resolve not to do it again and let the teasing roll off their backs. What mystifies me is how, with all the eyes that look over every step of the process, they could have thought that what they were doing in V5 was good in the first place.

Ouch! The CRWBY was proud of their blending Greco-Roman architecture into Remnancisco. You really hurt their feelings.

>Yes it's daft that they're having doubts in a job that is supposed to be endless- but any adventure should have doubts.

Doubts aren't the problem. Just that given the various characters the nature of their doubts should vary as well. Instead everybody got stuck on, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE CAN'T KILL SALEM?!" Even with this episode, everyone seems to be drawing from the same emotional pool. All frowning and looking sad when Qrow shoots down Jaune's brain fart and then all perking when Ruby goes full brat-mode. With the Oscar situation, all the same emotional reactions culminating in whatever it was they did when they saw he was back safe-and-sound.

>Is this VA the same as Pyrahs?

Yup, it's Jen Brown. Which makes that clip of her at the con >>36626 more ironic. Miles&Kerry started writing V6 last January, the clip is from September. There would have been no reason to hide that scene from her, if it existed.

I wish I could believe her altruism wasn't just selfishness. He needs something to believe in again and is trying to avoid a crushing nihilism which has afflicted him after V6C3. Like >>37220 said it's a more understandable & human reaction to having his worldview shattered.

Like others have said the show should have been written a year in advance at least, I wonder how much time is spent on writing, and how much in advance.

Lines like Nora saying she's sick of the house in response to fan's criticism of them being in the house too long feels like it could be implemented in at the last second. It's not impossible each season is just written within a few months. The closest confirmation we have is Miles trying to say the "No action is sometimes the worst thin you can do" line was retro-actively anti-Trump, so that tweet + the last election gives some clue at least, assuming he was being honest.

As of episode 9, I think I got a pretty good X. The "Episode of Standing and Talking" was in Episode 8 where they are legit standing and talking in various locations. "Ruby gets shipped with someone" is with Jaune and/or Weiss. "Rich on Faunus Racism" is Caroline to Blake.

I pointed out repeatedly that this "DAMN OZPIN" melodrama won't really lead anywhere. And it indeed did not. Oscar (and by extension Ozpin) is still in Ruby's posse instead of having left for good. Team RWBY is still going to accomplish their mission and face Salem's forces.

>Ruby's little speech proves that she exists in her own reality and shouldn't be leading anything except the chow line.

It's just a forced way for Ruby to become a savior figure for Remnant who casts off the ways of those mean adults. It's New Age Arrogance on the part of the writers.

It would flow better if Salem's SSSSS Squad were established as bwing raised by her or devout believers in her and her cause. Instead of apparently a band of thugs who stick around Salem for…stuff.

Again he should have already asked Ozpin if there was a way to end Salem if doing so was that important to his serivice. Do not forget that he was already established as Ozpin's right-hand who was surely privy to his dealings.

If Qrow needed to fall-out with Ozpin then it should have been over knowingly putting civilians at risk.

They've never recovered from the 'Fire, Ready, Aim' way that RWBY got started.

It really hasn't come up again in a significant way, given they've been wandering around since C2 and there have been no other Grimm encounters caused by the presence of the relic. The rift between Qrow & Ozpin should be based in something more significant.

Since I was still tired from this morning, I decided to just listen to today's episode while in bed, and I felt embarrassed listening to this. So then I decided to actually get up and watch this episode and now I feel ashamed.

What the actual shit was today's episode? The gang decides on actually following Jaune's on the spot idea of stealing an aircraft and logically their poorly thought-out plan is being derailed, at least somewhat. I was hoping for Qrow to scold everyone for how dumb this plan was, but instead, he just goes, "Muh semblance, ugh, I am such a bad luck charm it's all my fault." And of course Ruby has to give off another heroic speech since reality bends to her will. Speaking of which, I like how Ruby believes that she and everyone in the gang have the ability to fight off a giant, long-legged military mech, and win. However, team rwby has battled mechs before anyway, so we'll see how this goes.

Also, I like how Blake, as usual, messes up everything. I honestly thought at first that the Adam she was fighting wasn't real, but just a mere illusion. However, the more the battle continued on, the more I started to believe that the real Adam was actually there. How dafuq did Adam manage to make it here, was he literally just stalking Blake until she was finally separated from the group? Regardless, at least Yang will now have to face her biggest cause of trauma I guess.

>>37239

At this point, it honestly was contrived and it saddens me. A point of contention almost entirely disregarded all because. . . The writers are unable to write a drama that isn't melodramatic or forced in? I don't know.

So, is he blind? Kinda ruins the reveal if he's already fighting without his sense of sight.

Yang and Blake better have a mediocre fight with him, at the very least.

Ruby’s “Kids vs Adults” Tantrum.

>>37242

> The lack of genuine tension from the Atlas Military and the lol random moments of comedy turns a desparate mission to going to Atlas to something sinilar to the climax of a Family movie.

> The baby at least has a more useful semblance that grandma.

> The more I see Yang and Blake together the more I hate their dynamics together. RT really want that Yellow Jacket.

> I just want Grandma to shut up at this point.

> Instead of Qrow actually taking charge and telling the kids that trying to go rogue can have actual consequences, Qrow’s pessimism just devolves into “I am a horrible person taking all of you with me I am bad luck charm” and Ruby just quickly solves it with “Well you are useless and a stupid adult, but you are stuck with us anyway. You are a good role model.” I was defending you, Qrow. Why?

> And if course Atlas Grandma will have a Giant Mecha for RWBY to kill. And all the threat for the Atlas Military drops from a 0 to a -10.

> And Blake now has to deal with Adam… why? I was more inclined to believe that both Yang and Blake gets looming Adam visions or have Adam be in a convincing disguise as a background extra secretly leading White Fang Atlas Division. But nah we gotta go straight to Blake and Yang fighting Adam so that they can finally scissor when they defeat him.

> Also good to know that all the ideologies of the White Fang just dissipates and becomes a shitty abusive relationship again. I rather Adam take vengeance on Blake for wanting the Faunus to be treated like pets again or something.

> But wait… a blindfold? Dont tell me Adam has Silver eyes too…

Overall I expected nothing from this episode. Maybe some tension to show how strong the Atlas Military can be to steal an airship. But the entire tone just ends up fucking horrible and immature that I am still let down anyway. No hopes next episode.

His fit doesn't work since it's over something that he should have already gone with Ozpin (Salem's immortality) if it was that important. As repeatedly pointed out here, it should be triggered by Ozpin legit crossing the line (like with him putting civilians or even Raven at risk).

Imagine Ozpin putting Raven at risk by manipulating her to be the Spring Maiden by being Patient Zero in that Magic-transferring machine and telling her hide it in front of everyone. And then during the battle of Haven, Qrow and Yang find out that Raven had the powers due to Ozpin's manipulation and realizing that everything she did from back then to now was because she found out the true history behind the Maiden Power and just wants to be left alone in fear of the harsh reality of the world. Plus the secret inferiority complex that she can never be better than Summer.

Basically, just have Raven BE the Secret Spring Maiden they were finding on the get go. Because Yang's been pretty goddamn boring ever since she considers her mom dead to her, and because of the revelations give her the initiative to meet her again and try to fix their relationship.

It's embarrassingly obvious that the showrunners are trying to build on the hints that Ozpin wasn't really what he seemed back when Monty was aboard and pander to those who insisted he'll be a villain. Like I said, they didn't want to make Ozpin do anything too heinous since they still want him to be on the side of "good.'' But they already decided to have RWBY with Qrow fall-out with Ozpin.

What you posted would make Qrow's hostility to Ozpin stronger, but wouldn't fit with the image we're supposed to have of Ozpin.

> Ruby is losing her squeaky voice. Some of you will like this and some of you won't. I'm not sure yet.

> Apart from Maria being in the suitcase, the plan isn't that bad feel free to call me out though. It's not bad considering the plan is "steal a plane". I've tried 2 or 3 times to think of alternatives here and when the plan went wrong, and every time they've done the smartest they could while not going beyond their means and capabilities. If we assume the bridge between Atlas and Mistral means there is no "dead zone" between them, it does mean you'd have to disable a radar tower or you can't go off course. Throwing the guards out of the plane is fine- assuming she took their comms. One less thing to worry about.

> Weiss would be more capable than Maria- VR headset or no. She was born in a time planes looked NOTHING like this I'd wager. At least Weiss may have gotten some Atlas training in her equivalent of Signal- and I can imagine learning to fly a plane or use the vehicles others don't have would be high up there- even just simulators for younger kids. The only person I'd wager would know more about flying is Qrow- depending on what sort of spy/black op shit he's been up to.

> I'm surprised they're all freaking out- Blake would probably need to go radio silent.

> Going back to the idea of Qrow being here instead of Maria- he could bullshit the tower more than her (he must be fairly silver-tongued to do the implied spy work and info gathering, he just chooses not to be 99% of the time), plus he could delay by claiming a hostage situation with Weiss. "Any plane comes near me and I shoot her". Can't imagine Cordo would want Weiss' death on her record.

> I do love the little detail of the radio shaking as Cordo shouts.

> Qrow is surprisingly unemotional despite the music and everyone's reaction. Plus he's not within a country mile of Weiss, so how can it be his fault? Yes he can be so emotional he feels it is despite logic, but at least have another character dissuade him to show he's blaming himself and to re-establish the rules of his semblance.

> Ok this is 1 to 100 way too fast. Not only is Cordo not justified in using the secret fucking mecha and probably terrifying the people of Argus into siding with Mistral instead of Atlas, but she's killing the daughter of the guy who fuels Atlas- army and all. There needs to be one more day between episode 9 and 10 where something happens to make Cordo this desperate- such as blackmail material against her, she's going to lose her job or be demoted (even if it's a minor black mark, she's so obsessed with her Atlas pride anything shy of perfect is inexcusable). She needs to have a decent reason to have a break-down. Then she's justified in thinking something like this (that'd cost her job at most) would somehow save her job.

> How did Adam lose his mask again? He had it last time we saw him, right?

> Yet again Blake is knocked down several pegs. She should almost be the inverse of how Yang used to be before the trauma. Blake should be angry and wanting to kill Adam, even if it puts herself in danger or the mission at cost, while Yang should be horrified and fighting like she forgot all her training.

> The fighting gets good, and all other animation and voice acting TANKS. And this comes from someone who liked the "And we'll never be ready" line. Though it still feels like both people are missing huge opportunities based on how fast they moved in the past.

> Good to see that landing strategy is put to good use.

Despite the cliff, I'd argue it could be shallow enough for it to walk there, while ships going near the coast could run aground. My qualm is the speed it's moving at that size.

>>37259

Yet again the alternatives are tantalizing. Not only should Yang have a hate-boner for Ozpin for various reasons (may have permitted shitty treatment of Faunus while being "king" with Salem = White Fang and Adam, most likely is the reason why Summer is dead, Qrow is depressed, and Raven- even in normal continuity- went into hiding instead of being a Mom), but she's got a "free spirit" vibe, so if Raven was made into the maiden- even with her consent- she was locked into it and couldn't walk away.

She would certainly agree with those who thinks Ozpin made shit worse, but she wouldn't let anyone hurt Oscar (why hurt a kid who had nothing to do with it)- though that would fade as he starts to act a little more Ozpin. Trying to focus on everyone is hindered by her rough feelings to Ozcar and visions of Adam.

Raven's inferiority can come from Summer, and perhaps she ended up briefly fighting with Salem somehow and still got kicked the shit out of despite being a maiden. Imagine getting such amazing power, and you still can't do a thing to the world's greatest threat? I'd run for the hills. Plus it's a nice mirror to Yang's trauma from Adam.

I guess, the only thing that can make the Ozpin/Spring Maiden Raven thing work is on a sort of mutual agreement from the start. Like the whole "made a choice" bullshit referencing Pyrrha. Maybe she became the Maiden under the promise that she can protect her "hometown" with it, or a promise of higher favors from Ozpin. Remember that Team STRQ was basically a fave team of Ozpin back in the day, so it might not be too much of a stretch.

From Ozpin, I guess he chose Raven to be a Maiden out of that he believes not just on that she is one of the top students, but was also mysterious and mature enough to keep herself in hiding with the secret.

>>37263

If anything, that would have been Yang's new resolution aside of just blindly following Ruby because "she knows the right thing": Because of her trauma of the past and meeting her mother, she becomes more like a smothering mother to EVERYONE in the group and actually attempts to keep them together (as a contrast to her past self who wants her own sister to be independent while she does whatever she wants) Basically a "Raven was a terrible mother… but I swear to my heart I won't be to mine."

It was mentioned in 2nd chapter and was never shown to have that effect thereafter. It had already been out of the vault for 2 weeks by the start of V6. They were wandering with it in the wilderness from C2 through the beginning of C7 and the relic attracting Grimm was never a factor. Remove Ozpin telling them about it and nothing else in the story changes.

So Weiss absolutely killed those guards right?

Dropped in potentially Grimm filled waters, outside the range of towers so no communication possible, and that was after flying a bit out to sea in a jet. It's not like they were dropped with a raft either.

It's not inconceivable they could swim back if the current is kind and the Grimm don't show, since they are probably in pretty good shape. But it's not like she asked them if they could swim before dropping them.

Wasn't Raven always a bandit? Like she joined Beacon specifically to be a better bandit and deal with huntsmen?

It still works either way once Ozpin shows her promise of a "normal" life that she then has to defend by being the Maiden.

Yeah, thus why I put airquotes on "hometown". Bandits dont stick to one place and also the possibility that Ozpin have Raven learn responsibility and becoming good with the Spring Maiden powers.

I think with Qrow, maybe he joined Ozpin and his missions because aside from escaping banditry, he was also promised that his semblance will be changed but often gets stalled or distracted. I can understand blind faith on why Qrow didn't ask Ozpin about his plan mostly because he stated that his main motive was mostly to escape the bandit life, defeating Salem was more a thank you.

Yeah I think she would have a hand with fighting Salem and realizing her mistake. Thus I can imagine Salem tracking Raven down and killing her actual normal family, thus a reasont o run away from it.

I wonder why are people cheering this dull and sluggish episode for the fight scenes. A lot of the fight scenes don't feel rewarding and all it was is basically because script said so. Like they just throw those who still want that old Monty Fight scenes would look at this and say "OMG THEY ARE IMPROVING AND HOLY FUCKING SHIT THEY ARE DOING GOOD-"

And then… >>37297 happened and we realize that CRWBY are getting desperate for the old Monty days that are just grabbing his scraps to at least have people like it. They don't study or learn fight choreography or git gud.

Maybe they should have killed RWBY when they had the chance, but the Branding is all they got with this now.

Hell, the Blake and Adam fight scene didn't even make sense in that it's merely reduced to being "Feminist Lesbians Against Abusive Ex Boyfriend." No White Fang/Faunus Ideology clash. No, "Why are you helping THEM, Blake?" It's just devolves into Wasp Shipping.

CRWBY's remaking of animations that Monty made for the Yang vs. Adam portion of the fight which was supposed to have happened back in V3. Part of his work for the original Blake/Adam Yang/Adam fight was leaked early last year. While there was a little more to the leak, which was by no means complete, I only edited in the confirmed moves they remade.

late reply, but I don't think the use of mo-cap is the main cause of the general fight scene mediocrity. Many action videogames use mo-cap for unrealistic shit at does it well, that said they have about 9 times the budget of roosterteeth so that's an obvious factor. Many of them just aren't as "dynamic" for lack of a better world, baring some exceptions like the cinder vs Neo fight.

I thought this too, but then I went back and watched the Blake/Adam fight in V3, and that was it. Their conflict has always been about a possessive person vs. "their property that ran away".

What you linked didn't have mocap, it's just choreography, of which artists used to template with. Mocap has its use for general choreography, but not anime fly high air dash giant punch to the heavens counter flash fight scenes.

Did we watch the same video? They appear in mo-cap suits several times. Also my point wasn't that mo-cap can replicate "anime fly high dash gland punch," but the use of mo-cap isn't the reason the fight scenes are generally mediocre. What's shown in the video is in my opiion, much better than what's been seen in post-monty RWBY. Though rereading some of what's been said in the thread, I don't think anyone even insinuated that was the reason the fights are mediocre, so I was arguing with no one. My bad.

Because that was during the time Arryn turned the potential Mentor/Student relation that Monty set up INTO Muh Abusive relationship. Like they just ruined Adam's potential ideology even BEFORE he reunited with Blake.

>>37307

The thing I posted was more that they don't talk or put full blown stops about their plans mid fight, so the flow of the fight scenes fare a lot better. Comparing that to the latest episode where they still gotta talk mid-fight what their plan is. I mean Smash is shit and was expecting more weapons, but I will admit the fight scene here was good with that they have.

Yeah, and people on twitter are defending all this saying "They just wanna honor Monty's death ;3; plz don't bully" But the problem is that they were under the guise that they WERE improving, but instead of actually doing that they just stole Monty's files and say they were working hard.

He was an edgelord from the start. The failure to establish any on-screen serious Fantasy Racism against faunus instead of just dumping it in infodump speeches makes the attempts to make him/White Fang look sympathetic when they work with giant monsters that destroy towns one big failure.

Again, they threw that White Fang shit out of the window. We all gotta assume everything in Blake's side story worked out well enough to not be bothered until the plot brings it up again. Plus fantards want a battered oppressed catgirl yuri waifu for Yang to scissor her new feminist beliefs with.

The White Fang's role from the standpoint of RWBY's adventures is to provide hordes of faunus minions for Team RWBY and Friends to fight who connect to Blake (the token faunus). Blake, being maybe the least relevant of Team RWBY derails from the rest of the plot to do her little vacation in Catgirlland. Now that it's over and Ilia got her forced redemption, the Badwrong White Fang/Adam have nothing to do but show up to fight Blake's posse until it's time for a forced redemption (like dying fighting Salem once she shows she's a threat to faunus instead of the Untermenschen).

I already said this in another thread but they might as well have made the White Fang an army of bandits/mercenaries who just operate from Faunusland with the Catgirl Civil Rights movement gone. Blake can be the daughter of its founder who quit once Adam rose to power and took them in a meaner direction.

It takes the army 4 months to break new teenagers off the streets down and turn them into wound up balls of "my initial reaction to every kind of stressor is immediate violence" and point them in the general direction of "enemy", and all these soft baby tumblrite faggots are like "yang should be screaming and fetal position because PTSD".

His calling her a traitor and focusing on that would have made for a good point of conflict between them. Though anything would have been better than the obsessive ex-boyfriend they turned him into.

Wasn't talking PTSD or else I would have mentioned it. The filename was an ironic jab at how overused the PTSD term has become. I was talking more about simple pain & fear. Just a little reticence to engage the blade itself would have been good to see. Get triggered on your own time.

>it's PRETTY GODDAMN OBVIOUS that the world they've built here is not an easy one and "huntsmen" are elite combat assets with most of them having already attended several YEARS of a basic "combat school" before even going to their academy.

Similar points have been made in past threads here. It's one of the primary reasons the stories Kerry&Miles are telling ring hollow. They don't acknowledge the harsh aspects of the world they've created and almost always default to writing fluff instead.

Weiss should of replaced Yang in the whole Adam plot. Seems like with vol 1 weiss was going to play a role in the Faunus ordeal. Instead we got what you said, a obsessive ex-boyfriend.

(first pic)Does Arryn need to reminded that Monty said that Blake and Adam only had a mentor-student relationship and not a romantic one? Though the backlash against her would be great if bb doesn't not happen this vol.

Because that would actually mean that Weiss is a flawed character that actually has some genuine conflicts and arcs. Instead we gotta make it about turning Weiss onto a token rise to Allyship. I feel from this, they will spare Adam and have him lead White Fang: Atlas so that Adam will somehow target Weiss now. RT's love for damage control and all.

I'll point that we saw faunus in cages during Ozpin and Salem's Backstory. It looks like they (showrunners) noticed the complaints about how they botched the Fantasy Racism so they'll keep dropping more examples of it outside of supplemental sources and off-screen events like Ilia's past.

Yang has really nothing in the story for herself though. Her whole little arc with Mama Raven just got settled with her Raven being dead to her. Her being the "new beau" for Blake/Rival for Adam over Blake is what she has now apparently.

>>37344

We first see him about to kill off a train in maximum edge. Nobody besides SJWs and edgelords should see his actions as warranted considering how faunus are actually treated in the story proper instead of supplements (see Team FNKI having a faunus among them despite coming from Atlas).

>>37345

>Ciner

Cinder is also a poor villain. If the writers had more bravery they'd let her be actually dead from Raven freezing her then sending down a pit.

>Adam ain't gonna be redeemable because RT doesn't know how to write sympathetic characters AT ALL to have him be. Unless you're Ilia and you got being gay on your side.

Ilia is too petty in her backstory and too fixated on Blake to work. As if she doesn't really regret her actions, just the effect they had on Blake.

They know they are in a tone dead end when they went to the Faunus storyline. Mostly because they still want that "smiles" despite the entire tone of the story being beyond that now.

>Yang has really nothing in the story for herself though. Her whole little arc with Mama Raven just got settled with her Raven being dead to her. Her being the "new beau" for Blake/Rival for Adam over Blake is what she has now apparently.

The funny part about this is that BECAUSE of the Raven meetup that she should have a resolution to be a better mother figure to EVERYONE. Have Yang genuinely be more sympathetic to Qrow's heavy drinking problems, and genuinely defend him when Ruby in the "adult talk" as he was the one who took everything the hardest.

With Ruby, have Yang be an actual sister to Ruby again but this time in conflict between trying to make Ruby independent or being a better mother to Ruby because Summer (have her actually be pissed at Summer for caring more about Tai and Ruby than her, pretending to like her because she blames her way less than Raven) and Raven failed to do so. Hell, it's saying something when Yang was a better sister to Blake AND Weiss than she was to the sister that SHE RAISED ALL HER LIFE.

I gotta have to blame Blake for ruining Yang's character by having her thirst for catgirl pussy.

>Ilia is too petty in her backstory and too fixated on Blake to work. As if she doesn't really regret her actions, just the effect they had on Blake.

I know, I was more fixated that the only reason Ilia was redeemed because she was gay for Blake. Not because she regretted on her actions or actually have internal conflict. In fact, she just Adam with a vagina.

The Raven "arc" was a waste. Very little screen time and very little interaction time with Yang. If there was ever a rewrite of rwby then Raven would really need a complete rework.

>Weiss should of replaced Yang in the whole Adam plot.

While Adam should have an even bigger murder-boner for Weiss than the White Fang Lieutenant did back in V2, I'd argue there still a significant role for Yang in Blake's story. Even if they hadn't practically eliminated Yang's role as the team's resident big sister, her friendship with Blake was a significant part of V2. I get the impression that this whole confrontation with Blake/Adam/Yang would have happened during the separation, but they crammed Ilia into the story & forced the early reunification of team RWBY. It would help explain why Blake and Yang have felt superfluous since the end of V5 and why they had to contrive this situation to get them away from the rest of the team even though they should be in radio/scroll communication.

>Seems like with vol 1 weiss was going to play a role in the Faunus ordeal.

Weiss problem is that SDC hasn't even played a role in her story. They could've used Weiss' V4 time to show us the faces of the SDC, contrasting public-facing benevolent philanthropy, that makes everyone's lives better through the technological marvels it bestows on the world, with its rotten underbelly including the "controversial labour practices" Blake mentioned back in V1. That could've tied her into the Faunus story, been the impetus for her leaving home, and put her in the middle of the Blake/Adam conflict.

>>37348

Really wish Miles & Kerry would read that. Well said!

>>37349

>The Raven "arc" was a waste. Very little screen time and very little interaction time with Yang. If there was ever a rewrite of rwby then Raven would really need a complete rework.

Of the many story casualties in V4 & V5, Raven & the bandits were a huge one. The resolution of Yang's search for her mother was something we'd been waiting for since V2. When they finally came face-to-face in V5, we got that horrible scene where they talk past each other. And the bandits who caused so much death & destruction showcased in V4 were revealed to be non-entities.

So after causing all of this chaos by stealing Atlas military property and damaging a critical defense weapon, are Ruby & the gang are going to make up for what they've done by helping to fight off the giant undersea Grimm drawn to attack the city by conflict they started? Will the story just paper over the problems their short-sightedness caused and get them out of the consequences this little stunt should have earned them?

Even if their plan had gone off without a hitch and they'd successfully stolen the plane how could they have gotten into Atlas or even approached it without being blown out of the sky once they hit Atlas airspace?

The Human VS Faunus storyline has always been forced. Like it was something that Monty forced into from another project he was considering.

It has little to no connection to RWBY's adventures beyond providing backstory for faunus goons. And Hazel shows that's not needed anyway.

>The funny part about this is that BECAUSE of the Raven meetup that she should have a resolution to be a better mother figure to EVERYONE.

Yang already said she'll do whatever Ruby says. She won't oppose her tantrums.

>With Ruby, have Yang be an actual sister to Ruby again but this time in conflict between trying to make Ruby independent or being a better mother to Ruby because Summer (have her actually be pissed at Summer for caring more about Tai and Ruby than her, pretending to like her because she blames her way less than Raven) and Raven failed to do so. Hell, it's saying something when Yang was a better sister to Blake AND Weiss than she was to the sister that SHE RAISED ALL HER LIFE.

I did wonder if Yang started out as not one of Ruby's blood in early drafts (be it her being adopted or just a family friend).

> I know, I was more fixated that the only reason Ilia was redeemed because she was gay for Blake. Not because she regretted on her actions or actually have internal conflict. In fact, she just Adam with a vagina.

They might as well been the same character. Just make Adam a girl and keep her backstory.

Marias biggest problem is that she was created to be the silver eyed info dump person. The fandom complaining about it finally made M&K do something on that subject. Of course, silver eyes should of been addressed in the earlier volumes at beacon, but that shows that the writers are making stuff up as they go.

I think with Yang liking boys, they can excuse that as that Slumber Party chapter was the only time we get to hear Yang having interest with men. RT/FNDM might prolly say "bisexuals" or reqrite her personality in that Yang actually doesn't like men (due to both Daddy and Mommy Issues) and only uses them for social/monetary benefit. Her being a gold digger would have made for a better character, but eh.

>>37356

Plus they wanted to suck it to the Fandom that they finally made female models that aren't loli waifus or MILFs. Though The Old Women are actually fucking tiny by default, and all Little Miss Chub does is sit (Oh yeah, she was the character revealed in RWBY Battle Ready). It would kinda work better if she also kinda fight.

To be completely honest, I have no idea. Black protagonists rarely play well in Asia, but because of RWBY, they do have a foot hole in Japan.

My first thought when they announced Gen:Lock without hearing all the BS marketing was that this was going to be a RWBY replacer. I still have a small part of me that believes that. They have a new world, they have new characters and it isn't bogged down by a dead body they have to keep propping up in order deflect criticism.

A part of me wonders if they realized they fucked RWBY's plot so hard they're just throwing fandom bait out to tank it and let Gen:Lock be the premier. The fact that Gen:Lock is promoted on Let's Play and Achievement Hunter means they got Geoff's approval, someone who is well known for hating RWBY is very interesting. I don't think even RVB had a promo on AH or LP.

It definitely won't be as successful or "influencial" as RWBY was in its day. For one, Monty's Rule of Cool and Fighting Autism made RWBY at least fun to watch despite the shit plot and graphics. What does Gen: Lock Have? Pretty Graphics and a deep "plot" but the feel is generic as fuck. Hell I'll say it and this will work more like "The Dragon Prince" where the elements ain't gonna connect together.

>>37365

Seeing that they are removing the CRWBY's best staff to work in Gen:Succ, we can believe that they are slowly just gotta give RWBY fanservice and copypasta Monty fight scenes.

Just imagine being Adam for a minute.

A character who started off as an edgelord, and still remained as an edgelord, but was meant to be a huge threatening villain in the show. You even have him dismember a main character's arm, killing the leader of his own group, having his main weapon be of Jetstream Sam's basically, and have him overall seem nearly untouchable.

But then V5 happens, he immediately goes from a threat to a joke all because of one attack. However, he may still have a chance to redeem himself.

And then V6 happens, you have him make a comeback, just to die in the lamest way possible by a poorly handled lesbian couple. He doesn't even have a final line before he falls, he just falls.

I'm not even mad or sad at today's episode, even after the disastrous fight against the long-legged mech, I'm just underwhelmed.

>>37374

Monty envisioned the guy as some badass edgelord á la Vergil and his design/movesets really reflect that (especially his attacks in E11 were actually based off some unused fight choreography Monty made for a fight which was supposed to be in V3 but got scrapped, hence why the Adam fight looked awesome previous episode but this episode we're back to turn-based combat fight choreography), until M&K decided to rewrite him as a pathetic creepy stalker (WHAT DOES SHE SEE IN YOU) and have him kill off the remainders White Fang subplot, literally.

Especially his moonslice cutting off Yang's arm in V3 but being fucking blocked by her robot arm makes it come off like Adam has been nerfed hard this fight. It's just absolutely wasted potential and this fight combined with his non-existent buildup feels like it serves more to tie up loose ends and finally fix Yang's PTSD.

The first part of the fight was great, but the second part felt like a one-sided beatdown fueled by the power of lesbian love. It would have felt more 'deserved' if Yang and Blake were both an inch from their lives and only barely managed to beat him even if they were both facing them head-on.

Though I'll have to say "Oh…" was probably the most fitting line for Adam's "death". The guy has been living a delusion for god knows how long, fueled by the notion that he's so strong and can easily make the world bend to his will (his embarrassing failure at V5's finale probably should have prompted some inner reflection, but if anything it shows how he's so dedicated to the notion that strength is everything (and pussy)), only for it to finally fall apart and finally see reality for what it is when he gets fucking double penetrated.

In all likelihood I think M&K just picked something at random which they thought would sound as pathetic as possible for someone's last words. I don't know why they hate the guy so much.

Either Adam has been nerfed, the characters have been buffed, or the power scaling (even tiers of power at least) in RWBY hardly exist and the writers just felt like having Adam stomped on, again. Since they write based off of their emotions rather then through logic. Adam 's edge was too much for the writers to handle I guess.

Imagine if Adam fallen the same way Vergil did near the end of dmc 3, although Vergil didn't die, that is still a cool way to go, but yet sadly we can't have nice things. Adam couldn't even have a single sentence before death, just "Oh." However, I guess it doesn't matter now.

No seriously his new design looks almost exactly like Reboot-Vergil. I always hated him even if Monty was still alive to make him he made no sense to me. I hope he stays dead because that brand on his eye only makes way for a cringy slave backstory.

The Fanus/Whitefang subplot makes no damn sense and I continue to never understand what their original idea was.

>enemy defeated by being clever and exploiting a weakness and not "lol just fight gooder"

>adam fight was absolutely great

>shameless bumblee tease cringe

>leviathan grimm ripped straight from nier automata

>subverted my expectations like twice

all in all an okay episode. I liked Adam's fight the most, same as last episode. Definitely worth watching twice just to catch all the choreography.

Got a few complaints.

The backdrops are used ineffectively. In the previous Yang vs Adam fight, the backdrop actually reflected the tone (Beacon broken down and on fire, apocalyptic feeling), whereas here we're presented with a great fight that takes place in the same drab scenery we've been treated to for the entire volume now. I feel they didn't use every element available to them to make the fight as """epic""" as possible. Even S5 got this right with the burning Belladonna mansion. As it is, the fight lacks a certain "oomph".

Also, it's too bad they're going for the "1 volume of travel, 1 volume of being in a kingdom" rhythm.

It becomes jarring to me because, in the end, all we've been watching was basically filler, and you get the gut feeling that nothing has REALLY been achieved this season essentially meaning you've been watching filler. Sure, things have happened that were relevant, but in the grand scheme of things, the characters have only really been travelling and that's it. Exciting, right?

I'm assuming the next episode will be the climax of the series, where they kill the big dumb monster and the evil bad woman lets them go to Atlus anyway.

I'm guessing it's going to runs in to the same problem as S4: what the fuck have the characters actually achieved beyond walking somewhere? In my opinion, EP 13 could serve as a good midpoint, but not as a true climax. If the characters had purposefully walked to Argus knowing that they would be needed to defeat the Leviathan grimm, this could be their tour de force. Instead, even the climactic battle will be just something they happened to stumble upon. Feels a bit weak to me.

They've put the cart before the horse by deciding to add quite dull restrictions to themselves like that. Instead of thinking "how can we progress the story in an interesting and meaningful way?" they've given themself a bizarre restriction in the form of "we NEED to show them traveling, so what the fuck do we have them do in the meantime?" From a writing perspective, this type of thinking is lethal.

Anyway, good episode, too bad it leads into a "go kill big thing" ending with presumably no character tension or resolution (at least not directly. I'm assuming either Ozpin returns or Qrow is gonna have some epiphany, but it will either be 100% unrelated to the conflict, or it's going to be shoe-horned in.)

You have one show where people keep tearing it a new asshole every episode. That's not good for anyone's mental health working on that show, let alone the sort of mind-set that leads to the hard-left bubble most of the Rooster Teeth/Austin based people seem to have. And as you said, they can only ride off their old coat-tails for so long.

I can't see Gen:Lock doing well in Japan- not unless the Jap dub does serious re-writes. They are going up against a plethora of mecha shows. Then again, it doesn't need to do well in Japan. The US is big enough so even adequate can be a success if enough people know of it. Except this time it has to stride on its own two feet- and not crash like Nomad of Nowhere.

Also, don't take too much stock in Geoff. Poor bastard was a broken man even before the divorce. I think it's more a case he sees Gen:Lock having more chance for success now, then RWBY would have when it first premiered. On top of the new show having some proof that it could work, I think Geoff is getting older and just saying "fuck it" to a lot more. RT is about content & clicks more than ever, and Geoff is no exception.

Yeah. That's all it has been. Think about it: filler is shows made by committee by the animation house to fill in where they don't have the creative artist's unifying vision. And Rooster Teeth lack's Monty's unifying vision to give the shows creative direction.

I think that I finally GET what happened to Adam: Liberal brainwashing. For all of their talk about diversity and inclusion and "checking one's privilege", they couldn't, for the life of them, figure out what made Adam tick. They had no raison d'etre for Adam to hate Schnee so much. It was self-evident and not wrong, so, they turned him into a possessive boyfriend. They either can't, or, I assume, refuse to sympathize with him in his beliefs, so they transformed him into something they could sympathize with. I assume that this is cognitive dissonance: Adam is the poster boy for the Liberal fighting underdog idealized hero. He fights the oppressive system of white human exploitation (and the alienation of workers from their labor). He is incapable of doing wrong due to his oppressed status, and yet Oum made him a villian. Liberal brainwashing: he is of an oppressed class, thus incapable of doing wrong; yet he is a villain, and thus does wrong. They couldn't think that anything he was doing as a terrorist was wrong, so they had to invent a reason for him to do wrong things, and thus used his unprivileged status as a male as the pivot of his wrong behavior.

That makes sense though. She knew the guy for such a long time, killing him is going to unleash a lot of emotions, and it was probably painful for her to do. They used to be friends.

>More SJW shit.

The problem with this really isn't SJW shit, but how it's written. Fallout New Vegas is considered the best 3D Fallout game, and it was written by people who strongly believe in SJW bullshit. The only reason why it didn't seep in was because they sat aside their political ideology and just wanted to make a good game in the time that Zenimax/Bethesda gave them. They simply posed an idea, and took it to it's logical conclusion. There was SJW shit, sure, but a lot of it was explained away and can actually be confronted.

>A butch dyke in camp? oh, she was raped by a pyromanic before almost getting burned alive herself, and mentally copes with it by being a lesbian, and you can call her out on that.

The reason why RWBY's SJW shit is egregious is because it's not only poorly written, but it also assumes everyone who's watching it will immediately agree with whatever is presented on screen, with literally no questions asked. All you have to do is ask one question that pokes a hole into their narrative and they become the most god awful virtue signalers possible, often invoking Monty because it's the only well they can dip into.

It's actually both funny and sad, now that I think about it. Could it be a divine irony that Monty, both his works and ideas, could be one of the things that actually stop CRWBY from improving their own animations and the plot itself?

Volume 6's finale was almost entirely predicted by us on here and considering that the fight with the Leviathan wasn't really much of a fight, I'm guessing that the biggest fight this volume was meant to be Blake and Yang vs Adam. Which if that was the case, then I don't mind.

Anyway, another volume is finished. It was meh, but if there is one thing that I wish for to happen in the next volume, that would be for Cinder to finally die like ffs.

Think about it. Her silver eyes could have easily been replaced with Weiss freezing the grimm in the sea for a few seconds. Even then, it's pathetic. All ruby did was realise the silver eyes were the friends she made along the way only to temporarily cast a mobility debuf on the godzilla so that some irrelevant character could oneshot it. Damn, how exiting. Somehow this ending is more underwhelming than I predicted. Nothing was accomplished that was set up in the first episodes.

All in all, this season was a complete waste of time. Nothing that happened couldn't have happened when they were already in Atlas (Jinn lore dump, Adam fight). Once again RT duped me into watching an entire season of walking. I can't wait for this shit company to go under, and being forced to sell their property to a decent producer.

Well, I'm just surprised that the cards filled up almost everything we predicted in this shit of a Volume.

Overall, Volume 6 was pretty horrible. It's as bad as Volume 5 for different reasons as they are trying to give us as much of the plot as possible and give it a faster pace that isn't "being stuck in the house for a long time", but not enough time to digest the infodump or at least have them reflect on the things they got. Instead, they just end up locking Oz up until they will need him or he will need them again.

The cracks of the lore and the characters' personalities are also pretty imminent as well, seeing as once they completed their illusion of a "character arc" (JNR, Blake, Yang, Qrow, Weiss in Volume 7), they will all just blindly follow Ruby's Ganbatte Ne and the main motive of them summoning the 4 relics and have Ruby talk to the Gods with her magnificent Speech about how people are different but they totally worked together guys, I swear.

Hell the ending of this Volume makes it all about how Ruby totally cares about the people she likes, despite Ruby not actually connecting and caring about the other characters much. If anything, won't her Silver Eye Bomb be better if she learns how to genuinely BE selfless that once she thinks of EVERYONE in Argus to live instead of just have a quick Summer reveal that is just there for fanservice or a hint of STRQ backstory in Volume 7.

And I feel that the later parts of the Volume are just rushed enough so that they will push GEN:LOCK as their new darling, which will faill btw.

I told some friends that RWBY was Dorthy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Cowardly Lion. They were like, "No, there's Leo and Ironwood." Well, Salem just sent flying monkeys after them. My guess is that Oz likes to pick teams with that theme (need people to keep the uppity faunus in check). Actually, no, really, you never saw an all-faunus team at Beacon.

Then again, these are also the friends that think that RWBY's move from Poser to Maya was Rooster Teeth becoming better at making animation. I try to tell them that it was done in Poser because that was the tool that the director wanted to use (so that he, personally, could work the fight scenes), but it generally falls on deaf ears.

Your bingo results are more accurate as a lot of what I X'd were more subjective. The Rich-on-Faunus Racism now kinda worked on mine as that was the one involcing Adam's Branding on his eye by the SDC. Robot Gore square is basically the one involving everyone dismembering Grandma Nazi's arm cannon.

Best fight scene is pretty subjective. It was either ither the Cinder vs Neo or the Blake/Yang vs. Adam (seeing as the plebs were creaming themselves over how the fight scenes improved.) While we can give the former credit that it was actually pretty original, the latter is the one I eyed that can count for the square.

Thanks, still unclear who the orator maybe, I know it's not Blake&Yang like the commenters say, exactly because

>You may have taken the lead but I’ll even the score

>You won the battle, you won’t win the war

Adam is dead, he hasn't truly waged war. But Ozpin and Salem have.

Theorized it could also be one of the defeated Kings when Ozpin was Warrior King, but nothing in the lyrics denote anything regarding them.

Raven fits the bill precisely, but we know nothing of Summer, and their heart.

My idea is Ruby gets kidnapped, tortured, etc., reforming to these orations. However it maybe Queen Lurline, an unknown character altogether.

Expectations for Volume 7 (I hope I am wrong about all of them):

> Ironwood gets hacked.

> Evil Ironwood fights RWBY.

> There's no stopping Ironwood so RWBY kills him; no consequences whatsoever.

> Speech about the poor middle and low classes and how the evil rich man have it too good delivered by none other than Weiss.

> Scene showing poor classes or faunus reprehended after protesting or trying to stowaway in ships to the upper level, with a strong similarity and exaggeration to what's happening at the southern border. "See? We animated your struggle, we are compassionate, not like that evil orange man. Pls buy our figurines. :3"

> Ruby makes another show of itself trying to lecture pre-hacked Ironwood on how to defend and save Atlas with the power of love, friendship and trust.

> The Grimm attack, compassionate RWBY moves the adamant atlesian military to evacuate refugees to the upper level.

> Obviously forced commentary by the evil rich man on the refugee crisis that makes him look like an ass. "Because it's nothing more than pure racism guys, but RWBY will show him! >:), pls buy t-shirts."

I really hope I am wrong in all of them.

The last episode of Volume 6 and especially the verbal exchange between Adam, Yang and Blake was to me bad fanfiction written by a schoolgirl. It just didn't fit what was Blake before and what she stood up for. She was more than "le abused girlfriend" in Volume 2.

That what I liked about that Blake. She wanted to fix things. Make up for all that she did when she realized that all of this was just a ploy to give Adam more and more power. She already knew their cause was nothing of interest for him when they raided the train, way before Cinder even showed up.

And how the fuck did Adam got in time to Argus, and arrived exactly at the place Blake was heading to?

If Adam gets revived leading a real vengeance on RWBY on Volume 7 and ACTUALLY WON, I will be surprised. Problem is that Adam's just a plot Device for Yang and Blake to complete their arcs and merely just blindly follow Ruby. They might do the exact same thing to Weiss as well in Volume 7: basically end her arc with her leaving Atlas, have Papa Schnee let her go or arrested or some shit. Weiss doesn't get affected by consequences and merely just becomes Ruby's love interest, or at least blindly follow Ruby and her Ganbatte Ne.

>>37457

But knowing that they won't make the villains win anymore and have RWBY suffer heavy losses, no. Also Volume 6 actually has a lotta genuine fight scenes. They were all shit but I'm setting my bar a bit higher on that. Maybe 6 or less.

>>37458

I'm just gonna go with, they will crash the upper city down to the ground with no survivors. The Lower Slummy Part of Atlas will be saved.

>>37459

>Monty's Blake was very much someone who left because they felt that the organization no longer represented their values. "I'm done being a terrorist" vs the current "I'm done being terrorized".

Then again maybe they wanna rewrite Blake as the oppressed one because they can't imagine their SJW Catgirl Waifu ACTUALLY being a terrorist and hinting that she killed people.

Thus them killing Adam, despite being the first time they actually kill someone and hiding the body thus that would also kinda mean murder, being HEAVILY justified instead of well… handling personal consequences of it. Like if they don't make it about Adam's ex problems, it would have worked better as a "Can we actually save a broken man oppressed and lost all his life?"

>>37461

RT just wanted Adam dead quick so that they can handle their own shit plot. They all hate Monty's Pet Villain so they gotta kill him as undignified and as Light Novelly as possible.

Thread reminder Adam has always been a weak edgelord and the White Fang were discredited as sympathetic terrorists the moment they were shown working with unholy monsters that destroy towns who are commanded by a woman who's effectively Satan.

Roman was the last major villain remotely worthy of being called a charismatic adversary for our heroes. And he got called off since the showrunners were scared of him upstaging the stronk womin edgelord.

Roman and Adam getting offed like they did yet Cinder continues to be around is trash. What happened to her should have been just as lethal but it's obvious the show's runners are too overwhelmed by SJW pandering and waifufaggotry to take risks like that.

I just marathon'd the last three episodes (mostly because I forgot to watch them), and considering I watched all three before I checked what you guys said-

I'm done.

For a season that had the first episode to re-spark my hopes for the show, this season put the nail in the coffin for me. It is physically impossible for this show to get better.

> A four-man band makes it harder to get equal character interaction and growth- three and (for some reason) five works fine. I would criticize the main cast being too large- except others shows like One Piece have a large main cast and it works- because the characters are good!

> The constant character development errors and inconsistencies mean you can't get invested in anyone, because it won't be the same character tomorrow. To top it off, some of the dialogue is high-school project or fanfiction tier. Lines that sound cool in isolation, and are cringeworthy when they are heard by any sane person.

> The constant plot errors and inconsistencies mean you can't get invested in the world or lore. In fact, most errors are then joked about next season and swept under the rug. The last two seasons have had Nora crack a joke in the first episode to lampshade a way they fucked up. You can get away with it maybe once if everything else is really good. Eventually it turns out like all self-deprecating humor- embarrassing for the person who's saying it. It doesn't elevate, it pushes you further down.

> The animation has nose-dived, now we're getting stuff that looked worse than season 1. Gen:Lock is the newest darling for RT, and I'm willing to bet any attempt to make RWBY "go out with a bang" will be as cheap and fast as possible without pissing off fanboys & girls. Rule of cool doesn't work when nothing is cool.

> The constant theft and "references" to other media. Even the idea of using fairytail and children's characters isn't original. Not saying you can't do anything anyone else has done, but when you combine it with fight choreography directly lifted from popular shows and fucking Godzilla- people are gonna get tired that you aren't trying to be original.

> The people working on the show are awful. If they weren't awful before, the (from their POV) constant barrage of "this is why you suck" has made them awful. Did you know Barbra said "It's a cartoon" in a mocking way to a fan at an RT convention when he asked how long it takes to walk across one of the continents for a rough timeline? The community manager for the company mocked someone who paid to go to their convention. They know they are the emperor with no clothes- wearing Monty's skin. He was far from a good story writer, but at least he was humble and treated people like they were more than something to consume his product.

> Not to mention their liberal soapboxing is just seeping through more and more- if not to project their beliefs, than for profit and to shield themselves from criticism. I had nothing against gay couples in media, now I can't stand it even when it's written well. Every other major (((production house))) in the west is doing the same, but adding fuel to the fire is bad no matter how many people do it. I don't even want to write or see stories with lead female characters anymore. And the sheer and utter bungling of doing a story about racism by people with hard left beliefs? Color me shocked.

> The fans stop any growth, since they hand RT what would sooth them on a plate. If tomorrow the whole show was rebooted by professional studio with 10x the budget, the fans (i.e. fanboys and girls) would riot if every dumb line, illogical character behavior, and every single plot beat wasn't the same. No studio in their right mind would take the risk of fixing all this, getting bad PR from fans, and trying exceptionally hard to sell it to new people who know RWBY as "that 3D cartoon I watched once and have only heard bad about since."

I loved posting theories on how to fix characters and plots while keeping it "the same", but I can't. The show is more holes than content.

"We could have Adam be obsessed with a survival-of-the-fittest mentality from being treated so shit, so he desire to be a leader and have mate-" doesn't matter, the whole Faunus storyline doesn't work.

"We could drop Blake and just have it as three main characters-" doesn't matter, everyone needs extensive re-writes.

"The Relics could be reworked if-" doesn't matter, Ozpin and Salem need extensive re-writes.

"What if Remnant's history was-" doesn't matter, you need such extensive re-writes to the world it would change the nature of many characters, so you might as well make a new show.

The Grimm need to be less attracted to negative emotions, or the world needs to be more heavily armed. Huntsmen need to be a more serious and deadly profession, or less serious and less lethal. The major villains of each season/overall need better motives. The major heroes need better development. There is not a single remnant of Remnant that can be salvaged whole-piece.

You can have teenagers fighting monsters in anime fight scenes, goofball and cool stuff that defies logic while still touching on racism, death and how humans can easily become scumbags, with a JRPG over-arching plot. But dear god you need to be a good writer to balance it all out, or a huge fan-base to pay up so you can make it look pretty.

RWBY is far from the worst show- with all the season anime I'd wager there's 20+ anime worse than RWBY on many technical levels. But RWBY had a glimmer of potential by a guy following a dream. It was funded and then owned by people who didn't realize they needed to feed their cash-cow with more talent, and it promptly crashed. And survived. The worst part about RWBY is that it should have died.

It damages your faith in meritocracy when a bad show won't die. Kept alive by idiots, political activists, and maybe even some very deep pockets happy to see one more show that shows you don't have to be good to be successful. Why try when all you have to do is get something that looks flashy, and call everyone who disagrees an asshole once it stops. I don't care how it ends.

I'm done.

My country is probably gonna block 8chan this year. I loved chatting with you guys. Please, keep critique and analysis alive. Condemn bad shows and champion those that do good. And always use adblock.

There was at least one guy who was making an attempt to rewrite the show so it's less shit, so maybe that'll go somewhere.

At any rate, I'm expecting them to rush things to a conclusion so they can milk Gen:Lock in the same way.

I'll take a crack.

> Weiss clone a'la Penny.

Literal "Mirror Mirror" as Jaques used his influence to make a robot clone of Weiss that behaves how he wants, then Weiss can literally kill her old self.

> Abnormally brutal Jaques death

Yes he's a tycoon doing shit that (((they))) probably due minus culture manipulation, but I'd wager he'll get the most brutal death of the series because he was an abusive parent and a racist. Not that both of those aren't bad racism as in acting illogically to other races, not just acting in self preservation to what you see, but the most catharsis you should get is from your main villain falling. In the grand scheme, Jaque isn't a major antagonist (unless he's orchestrating/encouraging the war so he can profit), but I can see him being caught in a turbine or mauled by Grim while we hear/heavily imply he is being torn limb from limb. There is a chance he'll flee to Vacuo for a future season to keep the dust mines/Faunus oppression going, be a major villain there, and maybe some allusions to the boys from Brazil.

> The flying city (nearly) falls

Calling it now, something will make the black dust stop working and the flying part of Atlas (which is clearly the literal upper-crust) will risk crashing down. Or hell, maybe they'll have to share their dust with the lower-class so they can be elevated up and safe from the Grim- but that borders into subtle politics.

> Ironwood redemption

Since Ironwood wasn't introduced as a villain, no matter how much of an Orange Man Bad allegory he is, something will make him redeem. The tinman will get his heart and jeopardize Atlas to make the world at large feel good. Not to mention make the fan-base feel good that people who used to be good can be good again, and we can be united and heal. Not because RT are self-aware enough to realize killing a Trump expy gets more bad PR (they don't care and frequently shit on republicans even on Achievement Hunter now), but because they'd rather spread a message of "love" when given the time to mull it over in a relaxing place. Rile them up and they'll call for left-wing death-squads faster than Mao.

> Bumblebee kiss

Self-explanatory.

>Torchwick survived/brought back

They are going to dig into every fan request to keep the boat afloat. If Roman was a kingpin, he'd have money and favors. At an absolute stretch (how M&K work most of the time), the grim that hate him flew down, got cut in half so what was left of Roman spilled out upon the ground, someone put him in a bucket (Salem's crew or a criminal lacky), got him to Atlas for a bunch of robot parts to keep him alive, and now he's going to make money from the Atlas underworld when the inevitable war kicks off (selling anything that's scarce like food or dust, selling Atlas tech, maybe even government secrets that can tip the war effort, etc). With his returning line being along the lines of "Like I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted; lie, steal, cheat and survive."

Logically yes, even free VPNs could get around what the government is planning. The issue is I bet "the absence of evidence" will soon be evidence. I.e. if I'm hiding what I'm looking at online, it must be illegal. Or worse, they work out I'm going to 8chan but not where. Some of the shit on here could get me in trouble, and I'm not risking that just to see funny images and chat about a bad show. My country is pretty cucked, but you should always mourn when voices that want freedom are silenced. You don't want to be the only person in the room who wants freedom, liberty, and justice for all. We're sort of like what the US was before Trump- many people against bad shit, but nothing to get them out of their demoralization. Then again, even places like Twitter are cracking under the pressure of many non-left voices saying they've had enough, so who knows. There's also a slim chance the whole thing will fall over before it can pass anyhow.

>>A four-man band makes it harder to get equal character interaction and growth- three and (for some reason) five works fine. I would criticize the main cast being too large- except others shows like One Piece have a large main cast and it works- because the characters are good!

>>37478

>"We could have Adam be obsessed with a survival-of-the-fittest mentality from being treated so shit, so he desire to be a leader and have mate-" doesn't matter, the whole Faunus storyline doesn't work.

I already said this twice: Just make the White Fang an army of mercs or bandits who operate from Faunusland decades ago founded by Blake's father. Adam can just seize control and move the organization in a more brutal direction.

>"We could drop Blake and just have it as three main characters-" doesn't matter, everyone needs extensive re-writes.

Ruby deserves to be dropped just as much as Blake. There's nothing much about the story that requires her presence (Yang can just attend Beacon with Qrow guiding her and meet Blake, Weiss, and Jaune's posse, you can even call the team WBY to keep the pun) even with the forced messiah role she has now.

>"The Relics could be reworked if-" doesn't matter, Ozpin and Salem need extensive re-writes.

Ozpin either needs to have HIS "tee hee MAYBE I'm a villain or at least an extremist doing what I need to" either be shown more strongly (like if he manipulated Raven into becoming a maiden) for RWBY/Qrow's falling out with him to flow better or just drop it.

Salem needs to have a better background if we're supposed to bye her as a tragic monster instead of a Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain. I posted this in another thread but she needs to be shown ruling her kingdom with Ozpin and slowly lose her faith/appreciation in humanity until she decides it's time to replace them.

I've kind of been in that situation before, but more in a microcosm, and not for the same reasons. It's really scary. You're not in control of what other people think, and you can't do anything about it if they want to say anything about you. In other words, you can't really remedy the situation. That speech was really well-handled, but he shouldn't have to apologize for that stuff in the first place. It should have been an "oh, sorry" and that's the end of it. This is a cold war.

On the other hand if he didn't, he already made his biggest mistake; apologizing over nothing. Now they'll push more. Why? Because they don't want an apology, they want him gone, over not signing fucking fanart.

Appeal to the audience.

He probably did molest someone who was more neurotic than others, and he's "learning" that not everyone reacts the same, when he's a paid actor.

Sure Vic maybe more extroverted and engages his audience more intimately, but a butt grab or motorboat for someone more sensitive can be be construed as sexual harassment.

>>37487

I'm objective, he's an actor, he knows how to behave with an audience, esp. admiring fans. If the police reports turn out something, well he really did fuck up.

I know Hollywood especially Austin Texas are big big fuck ups. It's nearly impossible to stay clean, if not they kill you.

Michael Jackson is my favourite example to bring up: he never molested anyone, he even had a heart of gold and help found video games, but he also wouldn't touch people, he was more neurotic.

All I do know is that video he's extremely trying to appeal, and not rectify the situations. At least he's not counter suing like Bill Cosby. It's one thing to hug someone, it's another to ask them to meet at the hotel room for privacy.

Also RE: Vic, I think the allegations are fake, but there's a rumor flying around it's true for some voice actors. Shit like ANN, Crunchyroll, Funimation, and some other dubbing houses know this, and are hoping it doesn't result in a full blown investigation. If it does they might unearth real shit. So they can't protect Vic because accusations are all true in Current Year- and "who else are you protecting" becomes step 2 in the outrage mob's playbook. So they let Vic take the fall. Ruin his life, risk prison, but odds re the investigation and court case die pretty fast due to lack of evidence. Everyone forgets the second a not-guilty verdict comes out, and the narrative shifts.

The crowd in that video is with him alright. The crowd that want his head is not. And looking at the precedents this is going to end bad. If he really did it he faces prison but also raises some eyebrows at roosterteeth. If he didn't everyone forgets about him and roosterteeth down plays it.

Vic Mignogna isn't 1) a kid, 2) wasn't abused growing up, 3) and trained in the art of deception we know as theater. It's hard to empathize with someone that admits he hugs audiences by instinct.

You know what other animals hug by instinct?

Now, of RoosterTeeth I have negative empathy, they hired a gold digger to marry and emotionally and physically abuse an animator that really wanted to make his own show. He ended up dead, and today they spit on his work. This is company is a wolf in sheepskin.

I have not changed my mind over this. I still don't take sides. Still, this means that now there will never be factual truth. Over 100 years of refining police, investigations, judges, procedures and now, in this short lapse of time everything is thrown out of the window. The efforts of the likes of england, spain, france, america have been disregarded.

Maybe the trial was going to prove him guilty. Maybe the trial was going to prove him innocent. Now, we will never now and will be left to make only speculations that will lead nowhere and will prove nothing.

Everyone "protected" him. The bitch of it is that if he starts naming names and digging up skeletons, that, in and of itself, means he's guilty. Also, by backstabbing that hard, There'll be no profession left for him to run away to. VA union, CR and ANN are all connected to each other.

Let's put aside this discussion Anon. As I said, you were right. And now, a quest is afoot.

<Sorry for reddit spacing

To any Anon that ever prayed on a shining star to have a chance to get back at rt this is the first nugget. I don't think this will be the last of them. But with some help, local news in Austin could be interested on the local company that broadcasts their shows featuring a degenerate and that shielded said degenerate for years and sent him to events to feed regardless of countless evidence. Not once reporting it to the APD.

https:// docs.google.com/document/d/1lVWMh40jSWsQaqKXvTsb4IFhUQ4mHZhT6S7Ywk9tV-o/edit

(Meant to put here archive but seems to not be able to archive)

Any rt related forums could start asking the same questions with some insinuation. Some tips to say, (((Vice))), (((HuffPost))) and other publications that pride themselves on defending the people against psychos as well. Hell, get the word to (((e-celebs))) that report on news.

However, it will come at a price. If this blows, Vic is gone for good. Some of these reporters will not defend him and rather put his face in the mud. But it may mean no more rt events, possibly no more broadcasting to local cable news (huge blow to any season opening and finale), a shitstorm and if a well-intended neighbor living in the us tipped the Burro of Investigation the police it could do… lots of damage to their image.

The key is there for the taking /rwby/ It is a choice each Anon has to make by themselves.

You can do nothing, stare at the madness, do something or look once again at the grave of Mr Oum and meditate.

I'll leave you to it.

Oh, one last thing. Archive their every saying. A screenshot, archive.fo, anything works.

Some things to remark:

When tipping, give throwaway email accounts and made up names. DON'T GIVE THEM REAL ONES.

Do not send info from devices you work with or are connected to a work network, you may make your employers nervous.

Strip metadata from documents and images.

If too afraid, use Tor Web Browser to tip them. Just make sure other devices and software are not using the internet that instant. It will blow the cover. https:// www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

If more afraid, get Virtualbox or VMWare and use Tails OS. Remember the rule of above. https:// distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=tails

If you are still afraid, make throwaways in sites like Discord, RoosterTeeth, Twitter, Facebook and pass the info as word of mouth.

On a second thought, the Burro of Investigation asks for real contact information. So, this one's ruled out.

Still, other outlets that will cause drama are:

https:// www.kvue.com/contact-us <- KVUE

As much as I dislike (((HuffPost))) they raise some valid points:

https://img.huffingtonpost.com/securedrop

You are not doing anything illegal. You are just leaving this hanging on the air for the reporters to pick it up. Still, cover your ass.

As for the narrative, well, you're following it. Saying that you're tipping false information would mean RT lied too.

As for your mind and moral compass, that's up to you.

Remember, this is at the cost of Vic. Vic is Jesus. He died so you can have this. Don't kick him much.

In light of all this I remember something that could be important.

In an older ah video they had on a guest, another bloke that works at RT, and during this lets play he admitted to giving his last female boss who he considered a bitch a snack of some variety laden with his special sauce (aka his cum) there was a lot of blowback on the video and subsequent videos on which he appeared but I don't believe RT ever made a statement on it and I believe he still works there.

I can't remember his name but I think he was gay with a pedo stache.

In light of the Vic scrutiny I imagine this old information being brought back up, and the fact he still works there, could be pretty damning.

> Trained in deception

> Anime voice actor who hits lip-flaps

Shakespear-ean trained he is not. Though the theory stands with thirsty ham-planets who would spread for any smooth voice they've been conditioned to like (even if it comes from a betamale in slightly nicer clothes than usual), all the accusations have been proven false so far. One person posted their own photo with their face blurred when telling their story, only for someone else to post the same photo unblurred saying "this is me, why are you using my photo?"

>>37497

As a reminder, Geoff and Gavin (both lefties) got chewed out for "hottie spotting" (going down the same road as attractive women to see where they go, but they said it as though they were following them). They got an apology and carried on.

I know how bad those accusations are, but I wonder if similar accusations were levied against their own if they'd react the same? And by "their own" I don't mean their biggest stars, though they tend to be lefties.

Wonder why we never see Joel in anything anymore? Wonder why Ray left?

It's surprising to see their comments are half-and-half. Even more shocked they RWBY Discord isn't consensus cracked into believing the stories and actually looked into it beyond the headline.

>>37499

Only sound-alike I can think of is Steve Blum, but he's more expensive.

Qrow is going off on stealth missions forever. Maybe killed off-screen. If Vic salvages his career, I'd be shocked if he came back to RT (although it's regular income after such bad PR).

Vic may have also spoiled the plot, or he was messing with fans going "yeah that'd be interesting" in a very suspicious manner when asked if Qrow was Ruby's Dad, if true, that's getting cut- along with other plots related to him.

Who is Ruby gonna talk about Summer to? A dudden phone call with Tai when the CTC suddenly comes back online? MaybeTai miraculously ends up in Atlas (still need an adult outside of grandma despite Ruby emphasizing they are adults)?

Morale must be at an all time low on CRWBY. First Glynda's voice actress, now this.

>>37508

If he faces prison he'll sing like a canary- guilty or not (if he knows others who did it). Anime voice acting also isn't Hollywood, and youtube has shown even amateurs can do their job for cheaper and un-unionised. If a whistle is blown, no major company that owns those dubbing studios is going to their rescue. That being said…

>>37509

>>37510

Push when a person is connected, and they can just go "we had no idea", shrug it off, and move on. Rooster Teeth is ultimately owned by Comcast, and judging by the views they and Achievement Hunter get (plus the cultural manipulation of a bunch of lefties entertaining and soap-boxing to teens), I can see them "training" RT how to respond ("Shut up, say nothing, you had no idea. We'll make sure no one runs the story for longer than a day.")

When a person isn't connected, they can be hounded day and night until they snap or the pusher gives up. Compare to lefty mobs demanding an apology from someone. They go on and on and on. They harass. They do anything to get an apology, ruin the person's reputation, or get any snippet they can twist into looking bad (even if you'd have to be obsessed to believe it).

>>37515

>>37516

Using false evidence or bad tactics go get back at someone ain't worth it. I finally got that from the Gamergate days. They could have doxxed and harassed- and half the people on the left would have swapped to right, since they could use those tactics to gain power (and fame if they put their name to it).

If you build a house with rotten wood you attract creepy-crawlies. If you use fake info, you'll get all the people who want to knock someone down more than doing right. You'll get whoever wants to replace RT (and do exactly what they do but worse), someone who wants to become an e-celeb by being the brave soul (pretending) to lead the charge, or just someone who loves shutting down lives (and once they run out of people, they turn on their own).

You could have done this 50x over with the anti-republican stuff they've said over the years. You could have had nearly anything from Barbra's vagina monologue show "corrupting the youth".

RT have done worse you could have used, and they will do worse in the future.

But it ain't worth dog-pilling on someone innocent.

I know Anon. I know. I didn't suggested giving bad info. Just keep pushing the envelope until Rooster Teeth was in the eye of the storm and maybe drag in the syndicate too. It is their words and their users "evidence" after all. As stated before, this would have accelerated things. But you know there is no other exit for him now. Both of us now.

Even when none of this happened, his family will distance from him. He will have a hard time finding a job or may not find a job at all. His fiancé may leave him or again, he will not find one. People on the street will call him "the creep that attacked kids". In short, he will be royally fucked. And they will just smile and wave at the camera, patting each other on the backs, championing themselves on being the protectors of their audience.

>>If you use fake info, you'll get all the people who want to knock someone down more than doing right.

Something history has taught me is that there was never a true triumph of good or evil. Every nation has had their fights. But they never got rid of it entirely. They changed positions sure, but there was always good and bad. When peace came after a war, guerrilla groups appeared to overthrow the new governments, then the guerrillas assumed control to have uprisings appear. Nothing changed. Just the names and the appearance of the enemy. But there never was peace.

When RoosterTeeth falls and someone takes their place the cycle will repeat. There will be periods of calm, but at some point however they are they will be overthrown too, to be replaced with someone else.

In the short period you are granted on earth, do what you think is best, but don't think ahead the next empire, you will not be around to fight it.

From the gist of this situation, I had to stand with the innocent until proven guilty. I seen him in a convention once in TN, and I see him didn't hug anyone without a sense of consent, so I am thinking someone is trying to stur up a shitstorm.

Why do they always try to get the person fired but never get the police involved? If they have enough proof to get the man fired then why won't they show that shit to the police and land him a spot in prison? If all those people who claim that Vic sexually assaulted minors at cons then THEY should have called the police and be done with that. Of course the only reason why they're going after him is because he refused to sign gay shit.

Little of importance is the support of his own fanbase, his followers and the people that like him; he has no job, no family, and no support from heavy players like let's say someone in the government or his syndicate.

Once he is completely isolated from everyone else, he cracks under the pressure and gives in, which is only a bit less painful. He can try and resist but he soon will realize that nobody is there to help him and he will bend anyways.

And then, he dies. Either socially never appearing more in public, mentally, by living a nightmare in which he will be on a hamster wheel reliving every painful memory that lead to this final moment, of phisically.

They don't want justice. They want him to suffer. And they are half the way through.

This is only meant for the main character, intentionally making them boring, but can make changes to the world knowing the truth. The only example I got for a flat character is Goku from DBZ because idk other examples.

Ruby doesn't work as a protagonist in a story like RWBY (or what they're trying to do with it) since she's not really relevant to what's actually happening in her world beyond being a nuke. They tried in the latest season to force her into becoming a savior figure for Remnant (hence the Silver Eyes talk and her tantrum at Qrow) but it falls flat.

Being "static" isn't Ruby's problem. Her problem is being rather irrelevant aside from her Silver Eyes (and I guess her "rivalry" with Cinder). You could have just cut her entirely and just dump the Silver Eyes magic on Yang to get more or less the same plot direction.

Ruby's lack of relevance would be acceptable if she wasn't the designated protagonist. She is though and that's a problem.

If you mean that I shouldn't double down alienating my fanbase or making said fanbase fight itself, telling them that I'm too good for them and that they can fuck off if they disagree with me, yeah, you're right. I'm learning. Maybe this ends as another case study on how not to fuck up your business.

>Being "the same" as your enemies makes things worse.

How many times do I have to repeat myself? It was never suggested fabrication of evidence here. Why? Because they, the people that want Vic Mignona out, did all the job. My proposition was to follow the (((narrative))) until they were trapped by their own words, forcing them to either reconsider or bane their reputation out of existence.

Besides, don't worry. If you think this was going to gain traction, you can rest assured it will not. Both sides are currently so locked down on Vic alone that any suggestion of looking at the other people involved is going to fly through and be ignored.

>Being "the same" as your enemies makes things worse. Or "getting even spoils all"

Never once suggested to take photos out of context and turn them into "evidence". Never suggested to invent testimonials and said they were real either. I ask you to take another read at the course of action proposal for anons thinking on how to take it back at RoosterTeeth, please. And if any anon was to ever take this proposal into consideration, they knew from the get go that it was at the cost of Vic himself, I made sure to mention that.

As for the embarrassment this PR move is, I think it is taking care of itself without my help:

>>37548

>>37549

Quite so.

>Can you guys really make dig thread somewhere else? I don't care where, but don't clutter Season 6 with company clique.

No. Let's ditch this shit altogether. I could go on and on making points, making a new thread, arguing and arguing. Anyways it's too fucking late and it's not going to change anything. /rwby/ is right. Let this fucking extravaganza die on a fire. It was my fucking mistake to open my big stupid mouth. I'll admit that. Fuck. Let's focus on RWBY alone.

Okay, back to the topic.

Ever since the season ended I been hoping Qrow gets killed. I liked him in Volume 3 as the end of the world guy drowning in booze the info he carries, breaking the neck of a military grade robot and fighting drunk Winter. I liked him protecting RWBY taking grim out of the way in 4. But why you give him "bad luck" as a semblance? To push the plot forward? Weak. Then 5 comes, pretty forgettable and then, boi, 6 is released. He is not any more the edgy ex-teacher end of the world highly skilled huntsman he was. Now he spends his time drinking for the love of it, crying at Ozpin that he wasn't a good daddy no more and having mental crisis episodes in the middle of a battle. If this is the direction they're taking, I prefer seeing this guy being eaten by a griffon than seeing him turning into a faggot anyone can make a joke out of, even Juan.

As for the soundtrack, the only song that I like so far is Miracle, from the train fight. It keeps that RWBY vibe with its allegories and implications. The opposite I say from Big Metal Foot. It's so direct eh… I just don't like it so attached to the scene you know. I mean the beat is good but the lyrics are so attached to the fight that I don't really think of anything more than Cordovin fighting Ruby. Listen at Caffeine, Die, Miracle, Red Like Roses I and II, When It Falls… I can just play that and let my mind wander.

>>37535

They really should have let them stay at Beacon more. Extend on Beacon and let them grow there for a little. Gradually give them more and more to investigate, more and more cases to work. Then the tournament and the fall. Have them gain the trust of Oz and get from him what is really going on. Then kill Oz before he gives RWBY the final piece of the puzzle. That way, now they can believably move to Mistral and continue to where we are.

Their problem as writers when it comes to character development was to jump so fast from "group of girls saving Vale from the evil doers plotting against it" to "literal messiah sent to save the world". Currently, RWBY is discovering who they are at the same time they are the assumed heroes of Remnant.

Seriously?

Face it, even with the Silver Eyes never did anything to earn the position of protagonist. Weiss, Blake, even Yang have had more to invest themselves in their world's going-ons than Ruby has. Even Summer doesn't matter since she hasn't been shown as being that important for her across the series.

Had they send her to something like a special training focusing the series on that for a while this could have been fixed. Just call one of them military advisers for a montage, one or three episodes after send her back to the school now turned into a leader. You don't turn her full army robot, just like, you make her look more like what a leader is supposed to be.

>Face it, even with the Silver Eyes never did anything to earn the position of protagonist. Weiss, Blake, even Yang have had more to invest themselves in their world's going-ons than Ruby has. Even Summer doesn't matter since she hasn't been shown as being that important for her across the series.

True, true. Maybe the idea was to have RWBY as a team where everyone can be a leader. It makes sense since we have seen that even huntsmen teams can suffer losses like Summer, Pyrrha, that poor bastard fnu in volume 4, Penny, Cinder, that guy on the Argus Express… It can be said that academies where obsoleting an old system of only one leader, the others follow for something that could adapt more to massive attacks or insertions, where in case the leader died, anyone could take their place.

However, we are beyond past the point for that explanation. Even if they give it in Atlas academy is still hackish at best. And put into RWBY now it would make people think that is not an explanation but a hint at that they are going to kill someone in the team.

Is it just me or in that last Atlas peek looks like the atlesian military has been hovering for months around the kingdom? The Schnee Dust company must be raking the profits from such a dumb move. Have they been boats floating on water, ok. Artillery? Also ok. Infantry? Fine. But wasting precious fuel just standing still over Atlas? I'm sure I can hear the moans of Jacques looking at the last profit charts.

The lyrics are literal, the fight was OK to bad, and the character motivations and history were awful.

But god damn this is pretty good.

The other singer you hear is Adrienne Cowan, and I hope they use her more. Kinda says something when she fits into Yang's lyrics just as well as Casey Lee Williams.

Listening to other lyrics in other songs this season (incomplete, purely from the episode soundtrack as oppose to official release), the literalness is so heavy.

Like One Thing (Neo's fight with Cinder) is all about how she misses Roman. And he was the one thing she had. In fact, it doesn't even work between Neo and Cinder- we never get any indication she blames Cinder.

Likewise Big Metal Shoe is about "fuck your giant robot, we can kick the shit out of you". Which also doesn't fit because they were on the back foot 90% of the fight. In fact Miracle seems the better fit (the one used during the train fight I think).

Or when Ruby uses her Silver Eyes, Indomitable plays.

> There's a light that shines

> And its power is mine.

Still, Nevermore was good. Is it fair to say any song involving Yang are the only good ones outside of season 1 and 2?

I like the BMBLB song

I did some fixes of an episode before:

>>37051

>>37052

>>37053

>>37054

>>37055

So I think I'll try a fix for the whole season since the above is the first few episodes anyhow. With some adjustments.

Despite the best laid plans, Jaune ends up with the crew and seeing the Djinn flashback. The "I wanna kill him/don't kill him" plays out as I detailed earlier- Ruby ends the argument by firing into the air and acting like a far harsher leader, making it very clear she'll shoot whoever tries to kill Oscar. Jaune has his meltdown here as he does in the house in the series proper, and has to be physically held back (maybe even a fight between Ruby and Jaune that gets stop when both parties realize exhausting or killing themselves in the middle of the icy wilderness is fucking dumb).

Jaune continues to be spiteful to Oscar, and is one of the last to be affected by the Apathy. Since Jaune is the strategist, he proposes various fixes for the "Salem can't die" and "what do we do with the relics" problem, and they're all shot down. Though he does summarize that Salem's goal is to either use the relics as weapons, or to call upon the gods; mocking them by showing humanity failed once again or even try to kill them somehow (not yet working out that silver trumps dark and magic trumps light)

When Ruby is pointing out what's wrong with everyone, she points out how Jaune has finally stopped being angry. While he briefly rejects it ("Isn't that what you wanted?") he realizes that something is up, and joins in trying to convince the rest (albeit half-heatedly). Jaune also realizes that adrenaline counteracts the Apathy's spores. Since he usually carries the medical kit, he makes it clear (to the audience) he has one or two adrenaline shots.

Other than that, Neo disguises herself as Roman when fighting Cinder. She calls her out once she realizes "Roman" has a different fighting style, and attacks to the head are whiffing- as though he was a foot shorter than he really was.

In addition, Ruby decides to keep the book on Apathy. "It's better everyone knows it, than throwing it away for fear the wrong hands will get it." Obviously referring to the relics as well. However, as the gang pull away, we see a few Apathy slowly following behind.

> The flashback of Maria plays out mostly the same. Tock makes an offhand comment about eating people's limbs, something that Maria knows and says she's happy to act as a bounty hunter against a person just this once.

> The gang meet up with Nora, Ren, and Jaune's family. Jaune actually embraces his sister and holds back tears. In later scenes, Jaune's sister confides in Ruby that Jaune had always tried to be brave, and the only times he's let his guard down was then and when Pyrrah died. She asks if the task is worth it, and if Jaune is even capable. When Ruby says it is, she readily accepts it.

> The comic relief guards are gone. The new ones can still be funny, but still competent. Cordovin has more obvious ties to the old woman who lived in a shoe. She sees herself as a motherly figure to not just her men, but the people of the city. For her, that means disciplining and being as strict as possible with her men, and putting on a good front for civilians- albeit with non-too-subtle references to why Atlas is better. She truly believes Atlas is the best Kingdom, and wants to rise in the ranks so she can do more for Atlas. Because clearly she's the best person for the job and shouldn't have wound up guarding a "little port town" from the odd Grim attack after her injury.

> Nora and Ren are in shock after learning all the Salem x Ozpin shit. They don't know what to do, leading into Jaune's "why don't we steal an airship" idea from later in the real show. While ideas are spitballed for a little longer, Qrow shuts them all down, leaving them all a little more disillusioned. Ruby calls on everyone to sleep on it, and work on what to do in the morning. Jaune and Oscar both sneak out in the night at different times.

> Jaune stumbles across the statue of Pyrrah. While he knew it was in the city he had no idea it was in that specific spot. It all plays out as it did before (Ren and Nora couldn't sleep either and saw Jaune leave). They gain renewed purpose comparing their situation to Pyrrah fighting Cinder and the general humans v grim. On the way back they stumble into Oscar. Instead of leaving in the night, he just went to think, and upon realizing it was really cold, bought new clothes. He says he woke the person inside, and he was mistaken for a homeless person at first- the shopkeep almost wanting to ignore him. This gives Jaune an idea.

> Cinder and Neo pull off odd jobs for Tuffet to get more money, info, lodgings, basically everything they'd need (and a way to put in the odd fight scene when it's needed but we can't fit it into the plot organically elsewhere). Eventually Cinder gets fed up and kills off Tuffet's crew. It is implied she and Neo then tortured her for info- learning where Ruby is and calling in all her favors for a ship, money, and a few hired goons.

> We get a flashback with Mercury. It shows his father was an assassin, specializing in those with powerful semblances, thanks to his own to disable them. He attempts to teach Mercury how to be a good fighter from a very young age. When Mercury speaks back, he disables his semblance before he even knows what it is. We see his training later (jumping over a fire- making Mercury Jack-be-nimble), and his failure results in his father losing his temper. Clearly mad and/or sadistic, he decides to cut off Mercury's legs as punishment. Mercury kills him before he can- shooting him. But the buckshot also stuck a gas/dust canister, causing an explosion. Said explosion also causes a large beam to fall on Mercury's legs (we could just have the dad cut them off, but the twist is more fun. Not to mention it explains how he survived the blood loss as it's more recent). He crawls out of the wreckage just as Cinder and Emerald pick him up.

>>37224

> Back in the present, Emerald and Mercury's sparring leads to an argument. Emerald doesn't get how Mercury is so calm, and Mercury doesn't understand how Emerald doesn't realize how lucky she is. They can side with someone who can make what they want come true- and deliver on it. Not to mention when the rest of the world turns to crap, they'll be safe. Emerald calls out Mercury on just enjoying the killing, and Mercury asks why that's a problem. Tyrion chimes up about people's true natures, and that for some it is to be violent (making his comparison to the scorpion and the frog story clearer) and that in all the natures people can have- the killers will be the last one standing. Mercury concedes he's right, but still crazy.

< Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

< Right you are! In fact I know a lovely broken clock who would love to meet you for dinner. I'm sure you'd go down a treat…

> Heavily implying Tock is still alive.

> Qrow wakes up to find the gang working on the plan, and shocked that Jaune's family are involved. He scorns it initially, but Ruby gives a shorter "we're doing this with or without you" speech.

< You can sit here and drink, or you can help us. Stopping us will do more harm than letting us go ever will. [and then some other stuff]

> The plan is to use Yang as the distraction instead of the baby. Yang has her robot arm pop out while carrying some of Weiss' bags, causing them to pop open. She makes a big deal about trying to handle it ("I'm fine, I'm fine I got this I- *sniff* I don't need help…") so Cordovin comes in. Jaune worked out from comments Cordovin and Maria made that Cordovin has prosthetics of her own. And since everyone hates to look at the crippled and embarrassing scenes (like a homeless person), it gives them a cover. Cordovin reveals one of her feet are robotic to Yang (pulls up a pant leg to reveal a robotic ankle) and orders some guards to sort out the bags and repack them. She says a Faunus bit it off (i.e. Tock. Could even change it so Cordovin blames Maria for not getting to her soon enough to save her from serious harm, rather than the peanut grudge).

< Of course if I say that too close to your friend she might think I'm saying she did it. Doesn't she realize she's different? [framing show Blake]

< Yeah… She is… [realization] No wait I mean-

< Relax my dear. If ever you're in Atlas, you'll be able to speak far more openly.

> Someone holds Yang back before she acts in anger.

The above dialogue can be for platonic, or even the gay relationship (though older seasons need more build-up to it). Maybe she even talks with Jaune's sister about lesbian stuff. But as it's been said before- the show didn't need that plot thread or character arcs even if it was done well.

> Qrow was also smuggled on board the ship. Even though he can't fly it, he implies he's impersonated people before. Sure enough he pulls off an unraspy voice when radioing in, but is busted since the cock-pit has a camera.

> Blake and Yang continue their role of shutting down the radar tower. When Blake arrives, she worries how so few people are around, but still disables the system. After doing so, she stumbles across a dying guard and Adam.

Adam (and by extension, Yang and Blake) need re-writes for their thing to work. I'd have had Adam be more obsessed with racial dominance and him being the top-alpha (with tutoring Blake as no more than having another follower, and eventually "the alpha gets his pick of the females"- no love but simple mechanics of what he feels a dominant person should do.) But I'll keep it as obsessive boyfriend for consistency.

> Adam states he wasn't intending to stalk Blake (how could he know where she was after all), but he was going to steal a ship in a far more bloody manner and get to Atlas/Vacuo and cause chaos single-handed. Dealing with Blake is a wekcome surprise.

> Cordovin is getting chewed out by Ironwood due to the breach in security, seemingly about to lose Weiss (she's been overruled on shooting it down), and the radar tower going down. He makes an offhand comment about the odds of her being promoted are slim to none, which sends Cordovin almost catatonic. Since she's so job focused, she takes extreme measures to fix the situation. I.e. take "The Boot" (the giant mech) to grab the ship. The ice missiles can freeze it solid and then be picked up out of the ocean. Not to mention Cordovin can watch out for Grim or a sudden attack from a kingdom by herself. She has delusions of getting back on top by stopping a non-existent invasion- quite clearly having a breakdown. (this may require more jabbing and poking from Maria and Weiss about her and Atlas). She even accusses Ruby & crew as working for various foreign kingdoms at the peak of her anger.

> Instead of Ruby, Nora, Ren, and Oscar being picked up and co-ordinating, they now have to attack the Boot to protect Weiss. It plays out mostly the same, other than Ruby always intended to shoot the missiles when they retracted, and shooting them when exposed was a bluff. (although the missiles being exposed in the laser cannon's barrel is dumb).

> The Yang/Adam/Blake fight plays out almost the same but with better fighting and dialogue. They work out how Adam fights, and the two stop fighting and start dodging while taunting so he can't use his semblance. Adam's short temper and large ego quickly make him fight with more wild and risky strikes, leaving him open for other attacks. They call him out on only wanting to fuel his ego and control people- exactly what the Schnees/Dust Mine owners did to Faunus/Him. Perhaps whatever Ruby bought Yang back at the gift shop is jammed into Adam's hilt so he can't do his hilt-shot attack.

> The two do some fancy finisher (like their massive swing attack on the mech in season 2, but sped up so it's like a buzz-saw, or some shadow-clone stuff to juggle Adam into the air and both then slam him into the ground) and the final blow impales Adam onto his own sword (having been knocked from his hand/broken earlier). It's a paper thin "hate is your downfall" metaphor, but it's neat (and ties into theories about how he can come back).

> Cordovin hears about the Grim attack. The Apathy have walked into town and are causing a mass panic, which in turn is calling the Leviathan in-land. While Ruby and some deal with the Leviathan, others deal with the Apathy.

This is where I fall apart a bit. Maybe Salem did shit to lure the Apathy there? It also spreads out the crew and allows for more fighting. The town needs some event to make them all panic to attract such a large Grim- and Cordovin alone is not enough. If the Apathy aren't appropriate, then have Adam used a few dregs of the White Fang to just start killing people in the streets- and the panic from that attracts the Grim (and it gives Adam more reason to be there- a hasty but brutal attempt to claw at some victory, even if it becomes hit and run guerilla tactics). Plus Ruby is more "alone" when she tries to use her powers.

Also gives Jaune a chance for some quick-thinking to stop the Apathy (use all the stockpiled red dust to super-heat the areas where Apathy are to drive the away, or something). Qrow can also have a fight scene where he works better with people or a civilian is openly grateful to him, and can later be shown he doesn't care his flask is empty or lost (getting more into the mindset of a Huntsment rather than whatever Ozpin had him doing before).

> Cordovin lets Ruby slip away. She's in a much better mood since she just saved the city (and is sure to get a promotion off it, or at least clear her black mark), but her dialogue to Ruby is more along the lines of "get out of my sight before you ruin my career even more".

Other than that, events play out the same but with better writing, more consistent character arcs, and general errors fixes. Then again, with that, does it need a rewrite? No one noticed Indiana Jones wouldn't have made a difference to the plot if he was cut from Lost Ark.

Anon, the whole point of the "Jaune the stategist" meme was to make season 4 scenes funny. It didn't and it was a stupid purpose.

A strategist, unless there was no other option, would have preferred a simpler approach that didn't implied hostility.

>Have Ruby and Jaune convince Weiss to give herself up to the military.

>Give her the relic.

>Take Qrow as crow with her in a bird cage.

>Dissemble Qrow's gun and move it in a bag.

>Give the pilot instructions once in the air not to announce her arrival and send her directly to Winter, she wants to join the military.

>Meet with sister, tell her that she's interested in a tour of the installation with her and the general.

>Take Qrow outside birdcage and carry him on her shoulder.

>Once they're walking around somewhere isolated distract Winter.

>Qrow transforms in front of Ironwood and explains what's happening.

>Ask him for a lift for the others in Argus.

>Jump to 7.

There, not a single shot fired and you skip the bullshit that was poking Argus base into chimping.

If you ask why I didn't add a "record a message from Ozpin" is because I'm assuming the scene where he's held at gunpoint was a thing. Which shouldn't be a thing but they made it a thing anyways.

You know, after that scene, when we got the season finale I just wanted the ship blown the fuck out, RWBY arrested and Cordovin promoted. No, more than that. As Weiss helped, have Winter demoted and Cordovin take over her position.

They held at gunpoint the one person that can understand the scale of Salem's plans, how she thinks, how she works, the one person that moved huntsman academies forward, the person that was going to grant them a meeting with fucking Ironwood and yet, rather than giving him a chance they just give him a message of "we're in charge now". Yeah, that's totally going to help the man that was just betrayed by one of his most loyal knights. Mind blown. This is how you fix trust issues kids, take note.

I thought Jaune being made a strategist was to legitimize why he was still in the academy when he was otherwise so fucking useless.

But yes, your plan is better. While logic dictates 100 other plans, the crew need to stay together for plot and to be on screen. Too many characters and plots as we've discussed.

I also prefer your ending, but again "we can't have a downer ending like season 3 and 4" because that's what they think will upset fans.

Ozpin should have just called their bluff and dared them to shoot him. See if they'd murder a boy just for their revenge. Even if they killed Oscar, Ozpin would just end up in another body.

Ozpin should have assumed immediate control over Oscar and stole the relic once RWBY and Co. were out of its sight. They've shown he can't trust them.

You know, I expected Ozpin to have some sort of excuse for these kind of situations where someone asks why only he can wield the nice lamp.

<Yang: So why can't we wield it?

<Ozpin: Because the relic has a defensive mechanism. The relic cannot stop you from asking three questions, but the relic will sabotage you.

<Ruby: What? How?

<Ozpin: The relic, to the best of my knowledge, listens all the time to what the wielder says. Based on that the relic starts making questions that are feed to the user. And after feeding so many questions-

<Weiss: The wielder asks the relic for things of no value.

<Ozpin: Exactly. Salem is so fixated on me that if this ever fell on her hands I'm sure after feeding her obsession she'd ask to know what I'm eating or if I'm taking a hike.

<Yang: That still doesn't explain why you're the only one that can carry it.

<Ozpin: [Smug] After years of guarding it, Leonardo started to message me about this questions that he couldn't take off his mind. How he wanted to know so bad the answer to some that he found himself many times about to use the relic. We developed together a mental technique that allows both of us to block the mechanism out. However, is not a thing I can't teach you in minutes. So if you please hand it over…

>Braids on Weiss

I don't like it. Her outfit looks cool though (ignoring the JRPG belts on her waist), I like the black and blue- but at the same time it feels 'off' for her, maybe because of the deep saturated blue color instead of the faint blue she usually had. But I don't know, it has good ideas I think, just executed poorly.

>inb4 its symbolism for "character development"

>Blake and Yang

Its literally just her V4 outfit with some adjustments and hair cut. Boob window is covered for obvious reasons, her and Yang should just wear hijabs at this point. Yang's construction worker jumpsuit is the most retarded design I've seen come out of the show. They had the idea of the motorcycle rider look (seeing the jacket) but fucked it all up with that jumpsuit.

>Ruby

Like Blake, its just her V4 outfit with some adjustments. But I like the gloves for some reason.
