Season 2 was honestly the only season I watched all the way through and I liked it; even liked the finale.

So I decided to take a shot at Cards Against RWBY custom deck and holy hell, this is fun. Like I feel like I have way more fitting cards (what sound good in sentence) and the winner isn't necessarily the most offensive.

[up][up]Really? because I feel that season is disconected, pointless and with a farce of ending that manage to destroy the creed of grimm as threat, hell a lot of things in this season where author saving throws to the second season.

Hey, you're talking to someone who liked the War Arc in Naruto and really didn't see much wrong with it, and watched nearly the entirety of Dragon Ball GT in Japanese when it was on air in the original dub back in the late 90's early 2000s, and enjoyed it a lot.

[up][up] It's hard to say if this was a Author's Saving Throw or a deliberate, sudden tone shift like Puella Magi Madoka Magica. That said, if they were deliberately luring us into a false sense of security, they drew it out for way, way too long.

I don't think the second season was necessarily bad, but it wasn't great.

[up][up]Hey men, I enjoyed the war arc in naruto, I think obito was a good villian(well, kinda) and for me DG is decent and have good point(and funny thing, after the trainwack super is right now friend of mine said im right....haha)

[up]Actually I was refering to a couple of lines, like saying the paladins RWBY face in season 2 is just a prototype or when Qrow said something amount the line of "dont think a bunch of girls like you can be this on their own" and so own

Who ever tried to put in They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character for Pyrrha has no idea what the trope name means.

Considering that this season completely destroyed everything I loved about the series (the writing, the character development and the heroes actually accomplishing anything and making a difference) and replaced it with generic Darker and Edgier angstfests where the most interesting characters die horribly despite getting barely any development or chance to grow? I think I have every right to be "salty".

[up] No, it didn't, you just think it did, and didn't know from the get go it was gonna be darker at some point. The fact that you didn't realize that is your own problem.

I for once, welcome this dark season, it was GLORIOUS to behold....but as friend of mine said "you come form warhammer, so is obvious"evil grin Im asking where is Droy, usually he enjoy the hell of heroes bean beaten by villians here....

[up]I was almost giving up the show because the darkness they hint again and again never show up, so this save the series for me.

I think it's mostly because of how dark it ended up getting in the end; Penny, Roman, and Pyrrha were killed off, when they were all fan-favorites, Yang lost an arm to a insane yandere and is now in a massive depression, Weiss got called back to Atlas while Blake has run off to try and save her friends from Adam's ire, and ultimately the titular team has been broken up, when in-universe they were only together for like a year. Plus Vale is in ruin, Ozpin has disappeared, Cinder now has all of the Fall Maiden's power and essentially won, Beacon has most likely shutdown because of all of this, and God knows how many people ended up getting killed during this invasion; plus Cinder still has control of Atlas' military as far as I know, and she can still knock out the communications tower for all of civilization.

You forgot that literally nothing ever went wrong for Cinder, and how everything the heroes did either didn't affect her or ended up helping her. Because heaven forbid anything bad happen to Miles and Kerry's precious pet character.

You seriously need to calm down; so it turns out RWBY is not (and was never intended to be) the lighthearted series you initially thought you were watching. Either come to terms with the fact that Anyone Can Die, or just stop watching.

[up] Best part is, they did partially thwart it; while Beacon has fallen, Vale still stands, and I am 99% positive destroying Vale was as much of a goal of Cinder's plan as taking the other half of Amber's powers. Now granted, it was thwarted by something that was arguably a Deus ex Machina, but it wasn't totally without foreshadowing, and it's still fairly early in the overall plot so it's an acceptable resolution IMHO.

[up][up][up][up][up]Also, Atlas was frame as warmonger,puppy kicking nation and if Mercury video said something is going to get worst for them

Yeah they hint the darkness for a lot of time, in fact my main critic is that they take A LOT to actually get there.

Well, I thought that was shocking finale. I am a bit iffy about a few things, like how Ruby's silver eyes thing might not have to do with the Maidens, but it was... good. Great, even. People were asking for a more serious show with more substance and less superficial style, and now they got it.

Another thing I would like to say to the people upset about the Breaking the Fellowship moment: Aside from Ruby, everyone's buttons were really pushed.

  • Blake panicked over Adam and must now be really guilty over Yang losing her arm. Considering how she grew up, I don't think you can really blame her for acting unreasonably and thinking that it really would be better if she just stayed away from the others for their own safety.
  • Weiss gets picked up by his father, who probably pressured her to come back - never underestimate the effect a parent can have on their child.
  • And Yang, of course, suffers the worst of the four - everyone thinks she maimed Mercury terribly, she knows several of her friends died in the battle, and she lost her arm trying to save Blake. Then Blake runs away, just like Raven did. So of course, she breaks down and is angry.

You really can't blame any of them. Ruby's the only one who didn't have any particular trauma pushed, and even then she still saw two of her friends die in front of her.

And with that, I'm just going to bow out of this thread until volume 4 shows up on the horizon. Hiatuses do weird things to fandoms. It's been mostly fun talking with you guys and making bad hand/arm jokes. Try not to kill each other.

Yeah nothing ever went wrong for Cinder, especially not when Ruby went nuclear.

[up][up][up] Basically yes, even if Vale is still technically standing, Cinder never lost her control over everything she got out of the virus she planted back in Season 2.

[up] I'm thinking Salem has a mole somewhere high up in Atlas's hierarchy, because there's a lot of things that don't make much sense unless they have an insider at Atlas.
