Yeah what's weird is that it's not like they completely forgot about Raven. She was randomly mentioned after Yang's arrest, but that went nowhere.

If I recall, there was some Arc Fatigue with Jaune's bully arc in Season 1.

[up] It would've been just a single episode in volume 3, so it wasn't that bad IMHO. Well, it was kinda bad in the same sense that volume 1 was vastly inferior to 2 and 3 in terms of production quality.

I always kinda liked vol 1's shadow people thing. I mean, I'm glad that literally everything has improved, but there was just something charming about Yang's friends.

[up]I agree. It was an interesting style choice. Though I wish certain scenes didn't use it. IE: Oobleck's classroom.

You know, while everyone here is looking forward to Cinder getting a well deserved death at the hands of Ruby or Jaune, I'd personally love to see thinks work out so that when the end inevitably comes, the audience ends up feeling bad for her, one way or another.

Building up a villain to be a Hate Sink before making them pitiable is something that requires a skilled writer, but when it's done effectively, the effect is extremely powerful, ie in the case of Flowey/Asriel from Undertale.

He is built up to be hated from the very beginning, murders Asgore and tries to destroy the universe, but by the end, the consensus of the fandom is that if you don't feel bad for him, you have no soul.

Well, Salem looks to be the Big Bad. And the Grimm are the Bigger Bad. At this point, Cinder is kind of low on the villain ladder.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

While you aren't supposed to like flowey, i always liked him from day one. When you get to know his backstory, all goes downhill.

I'm not joking when saying that people are still trying to save Asriel from his fate. They are in a worse denial than us Arkos shippers. HE WAS JUST A KID!

I will say that Flowey and Asriel are kind of two different characters.

Cinder needs a backstory beyond "I wanna be powerful", and a strong one. Only then there is a chance of her death to sting us still.

...or maybe she doesn't. Maybe Mercury and Emerald - and Torchwick - fill that space and she's there to cackle, rave and be a classic villain.

I could absolutely take this opportunity to start an argument regarding Undertale, but instead, I'm just gonna say that, at this point, I doubt there's much that can make me feel sorry for Cinder.

She's got godlike powers and no matter what her justification, attempted to kill an entire kingdom. I don't care about your goddamn Freudian Excuse, you had your minion record the damn thing to post to youtube. You can't justify ANY of the actions she took in recent episodes.

Not even if she was raised from birth by satan lady or something.

@Captain Capsase Man, it's going to suck even more if they start the next Volume around the time Autumn starts. I mean, I'm glad we're gonna get more episodes before the end of the year, but seriously, it feels like another gut punch.

...So...anyone have any theories on what's going to go down in Volume 4?

[up][up][up][up]they are diferentes....kind off.

But more important UT is a story with a white and white morality, even the worst is grey. RWBY have a very and clear white and black morality so its not the same.

Also, since Phyrra is DEAD, what was the deal with Cinder holding a hair of her in season 2?

Cinder: "All right Mercury, you finish uploading it?"
Mercury: "Eyup. We've got five hundred-" *refreshes the page* "Scratch that, Five-thousand hits already."
Emerald: "Didn't you just finish uploading that?"
Mercury: "Yeah. Look, I don't know, I just looked at the damn number."

But yeah, I honestly can't see any real "justification" or Freudian Excuse for Cinder at this point.

[up]I thought that was a sewing needle.

In Cinder case, it depend on what happen to her, she have a massive hate-bnoner for Ozpin and she have a vendetta against the Kindom, maybe she knows something? Even if Ozpin and Ironwood are good, their kindom have some shady shit going own, after all you dont smuggle out secrets robots into tournament or withhold secreat legend without being some short of grey.

Right now my biggest concern is Adam, he gone to be extremist to just douchabag ex of Blake, if Yang X Blake become canons them it would be a sappy les story....damn.

Sure you can. Also, they even said that the legend-witholding was because people tried to steal the Maiden powers and use them for nefarious purposes.

Also, in all honesty, Ozpin strikes me as Neutral Good, and Ironwood to me seems Lawful Good (and not Lawful Stupid)

Someone on the Character page keeps listing Ruby's Silver Eyes as an 11th-Hour Superpower. Isn't that...like...completely wrong? It appears at the end of the season, but it seems closer to a sort of Unstoppable Rage or a Traumatic Superpower Awakening.

Ironwood is actually a lot sensible that i originally thought. I actually started to like him more after his badass moments in eps 10 and 11

So, hoe would you people list the main RWBY cast in the Character Alingment chart?

[up][up][up]Maybe but it make Ozpin look dubious in what it means "holding" it can be "nobody should have this power so get out!" I meant that is what Cinder is refering dosent it? "such arrogance"

Also, Ironwood can slip into Lawfull stupid with his blind trust in Atlas military as Qrow explain to him.

And yes, Atlas can do that....but what good reason there is? aside of "We fucking can"
