Or, maybe after the final big battle leaves Cinder vulnerable (who knows, maybe the power could backfire), he could casually stroll in and backstab her. evil grin

Screw it, Cinder, Adam and Mercury kills everyone else in the cast, including Emerald. The next season is actually about a different team what is coincidentally called RWBY.

@dRoy: Well, if we go by how RWBY's Cerebus Syndrome is going, it's a possibility. Seriously, RWBY's starting to get to light 40k-levels of darkness.

Also, hi everyone, I'm back from recovery from a minor surgery on Tuesday [lol].

The fact I was going under anesthesia also kind of freaked me out, because it was on the second, which was a year after Monty's passing.... from an anesthesia allergy.

Please,we aren't even at Ao T levels of dark yet. Wait until at least 4 people die per episode

[up] I mean, if you count Ciaphas Cain, things are getting there, but Cain and Sandy Mitchell in general is significantly less dark than the rest of 40k canon.

Incidentally, I would totally love to see a Cowardly Lion Atlas Political Officer with a smelly but Hyper-Competent Sidekick.

Attack on Titan only really has massive kill lists of Red Shirts mostly.

If you want a real kill-count: The Warhammer 40,000 novel Legion of the Damned has probably one of the highest I've ever seen in regards to developed characters. Aside from Zachariah Kersh, who is the protagonist, the Apothecary Ezarchi and Corprus-Commander Bartimeus (who were both ordered by Zachariah to GTFO the planet to save the Excoriators' 5th company's gene seed)EVERYONE in the book dies. Which is a full company of Space Marines (around 100, plus several hundred support staff), and a planet's worth of people (somewhere in the billions).

And that's a normal Pyrrhic Victory in Warhammer 40,000 [lol]

[up]Yeah, the Ciaphas Cain series of novels is actually the best thing to get into 40k's literature because it's much Lighter and Softer than anything else, so you can more easily enjoy the novels. Also, Cain is probably one of the funniest literary protagonists I've seen [lol]

Also yes, I also want to see that now.

[up] Honestly, the darkest I could see RWBY getting would be a Game Of Thrones esque-every single character is doomed to die, especially the sympathetic ones.

#24997: Feb 6th 2016 at 10:19:09 AM

[up] I seriously doubt it's going to get there, especially since they psyched us out with Ironwood, but if they hadn't, the series from episode 9 onwards would see a character dying every episode; two of whom were fan favorites; I was starting to wonder if Anyone Can Die would be in effect from that point on.

Something very interesting went down at the very end; Cinder seemed almost outraged with Ozpin about well, something unspoken. That literally the first time in the series she's shown anything other than her usual smugness. Hell, in the previous episode she agreed with Emerald, calling the massacre going on around them "Horrific."; I wouldn't be surprised if our villains turn out to be examples of the Well-Intentioned Extremist archetype.

Aura, son!

I really do think the Old Man is Cinder's boss. I fo have a theory...

In the WOR about the Four Maidens, he gave the Maidens their powers, and they said they would come back to visit every year.

Obviously, one year, the Maidens didn't show up. Or the next...or the year after...and he became embittered and more reclusive than ever, swearing to get his powers back from the Maidens who did not live up to their promise.
