I know it won't happen but i hope the old corrupt establishment gets torn down by Salem and Team RWBY and co create a new establishment.

There not evil but i have a feeling when everything is said and done Salem is going to wreck Altas and a lot of civilization meaning the new generation might have to rebuild everything

[up][up] Not evil in the same sense Salem and co are, but the way they've described it makes it sound rather ominously like a police state run by a military junta, not a nice place to live.

They aren't evil but it sounds like everyone has their own way of what's the best and screw everyone else. Ozpin and his secret council and keeping everyone else in the dark, Atlus and their hardcore military and corperation controlled complex expecting to be able to bring their army anywhere and be welcomed for it.

Actually...was it ever confirmed exactly how having your Aura unlocked works? Can it happen naturally or do you have to have an experienced hunter unlock it for you? Cause that's yet another form of control the hunters have where only they can choose who gets to have the power to make a difference and who doesn't.

Basically a "We're gonna keep you safe whether you like it or not now stay back and let us do what we think needs to be done.

The only possible shady region is Mistral given what Qrow and Cinder said about it (But i dodn't trust the latter words)

Plus, if Pyrrha and SSNS are from there, there must a few cities that are normal. Pyrrha seems to hail from Remnant's Canada [lol]

Speaking of Pyrrha

[up][up] More like "Here's are big, badass military, now sign away your natural resources in this unequal trade deal before we decide to use it."

Geopolitical entities are, as a general rule, Relentlessly selfish, and can and will behave in a staggeringly callous fashion when they stand to gain.

"Ie with Cinder, some people think it looks like tears are forming in her eyes when she answer's Pyrrha's question"

While I see tears, her voice was more upset than anything else, after all Phyrra still belive in Ozpin and defie her in her dying breath.

Atlas look shady as shit, which is why I think they are next objetive of Cinder/Salem, also if Penny goes back the laboratory and creator dies, ensuring she cant come back a third damn time.

with Cinder....again, depend of what ozpin did to her, after all Cinder opinion of Ozpin is the same opinion we have for Mercury or Adamevil grin

[up][up][up]Please, is clearly obvious dosent it? M Istral leaders are Cthulhu cultist and the city is build over R`yeh

[up][up] America, the United Kingdom, the (7th century) Islamic Caliphate, the Roman Empire, it doesn't really matter, you see similar trends across history whenever militarily powerful states interact with militarily weak states, though humans have become subtle about Imperialism as time has passed.

I think we are going to get more of Nora and Ren's backstory as they go to their village

#28491: Feb 18th 2016 at 12:28:31 PM

[up][up][up]Maybe but their constant use of new tech and shady dealings(like project P.E.N.N.Y) make them similar to america(or eagleland type 2)

[up]Pretty much, Nora and Ren are part of the team, they need to have their backstory show, otherwise is just a huge wasted.

[up] They could also be fantasy Soviets though, most of that applied to the USSR as well, and I'd love to be able to make Russian reversal jokes about Atlas.

Atlas is really fucking shady because between the end of The Great Offscreen War and the Modern Day, the Kingdom of Mantle (which contained Atlas Academy) became the Kingdom of Atlas.

And they broke the Hunters != Military rule.

If that doesn't sound like a military coup, I don't know what does.

Would it matter if they (The parties of Atlas) weren't the ones to instigate the coup but were the last ones standing at the end of it?
