[up]I really feel Ciel should show up during Weiss' misadventures in Atlas. She probably will, along with team FNKI

I can't wait 'til I rewatch this series and actually pay attention to those side characters...

I feel like they important.

It's weird that Ciel completely vanished after that one scene. She wasn't even there when Penny got torn up.

Ciel is the blue fairy to penny's pinnochio..

Yeah her reaction to Penny's death should be explored I think. I can't imagine she'd be too happy about it.

Chibi Rubywby was cool.

[up][up] Perhaps she was just an agent sent over by Ironwood to oversee Penny while he can't do it?

We don't see her at all after her one scene, so she might be a hologram. Or a double agent who ratted Penny's secrets out to Cinder.

[up]Cinder got Penny's secrets when Ironwood accessed Beacons WiFi on an unsecured connection. Yet another thing that went right for Cinder.

Seriously, you're a military general AND the head of a Huntsman Academy. Why the fuck is your scroll not encrypted? That is some Hillary Clinton levels of personal security there Jimmy.

"she feels kind of overly sinister and one dimensional"

I remenber a youtube review call it fatman who said in his review of volume 2 that the problem with cinder is emotional range, as she dosent express much beyond "Siniester smugness" the only moment is when she said WHAT! or the whole tear when Phyrra ask about destiny, for a important chararter, that is a bad thing.

Compare Roman a minor villian: he is bossy with his goon and white fangs mooks, cocky against Ruby, a charming and silver tounge devil in the faunus metting, try to impose himself with Emerald and Merc, is quite scared of Cinder, get mad a Ruby for her determination and show concern for Neo.....

That said A LOT

She doesn't even express much joy when she finally gets what she wanted.

That plan must've been 100% legit if she didn't care that she won overall.

[up]she get joy but...is just more smugess, there is only two or three moment where Cinder express SOMETHING, after she get half of maiden power and when Phyrra ask about destiny, is...just....that

I mean flat chararter who express one or two thing are good as long it dosent bother(like Winter) or are awsome(Like crow) but Cinder is nothing of it, we never see her annoying about someone getting in her way or trying something else....she feel like perpetual plot divice that anything else

I can agree with that,and I'm usually not one to jump on the fandom's hatewagon for Cinder. Roman was my favorite villain in the show but I was fine with how he went out. Yeah I'll miss him, but I understand why they off'd him.

His final battle was a good show too. He basically kicked Ruby's butt and pulled off some really slick moves. Though admittedly the image of a grown man sadistically beating a teenage girl on the ground with a cane is kind of disturbing.

Someone said that's the point and Roman as a quirky fun villain had to be offed to make way for the shows new dark tone with new villains like Cinder and Salem who are just serious engines of destruction.

Which I hope not because a ton of overpowered one note villains like Cinder is gonna get really stale and boring which is my biggest fear for RWBY now.

[up]We dont mind him getting off but there is two issue here a) it show a intersting side with his concern by Neo and his specch of WHY she joint Cinder and B) he get off moment latter...for many that is not closing a chararter arc, that is wasting a chararter, I least Phyrra have decent end.

And him beating Ruby...maybe is just me that Im full rooting for the empire here and im the biggest fan with this darker tone, but I was sick of thing going so easy for the hero and was fearing Roman was going to be beat by her, so it was refreshing to see that(Also Neo beat both her and Yang....damn she is good) granted my inicial choice was him giving Blake the old good ultraviolencetongue

I've been thinking, is Weiss or Blake the weakest RWBY member in a 1 on 1 fight? Weiss lost in one of the show's jobbiest moments against that lieutenant and pretty much lost to Flynt. Blake, often considered the weak link of the team at least managed to beat Roman in S2. Now I think Weiss shines most when working alongside her teammates and overall has a stronger performance than Blake but one on one fighting seems like her weak point which I'd say Blake slightly edges her out in.

[up]Roman losing to Blake so badly is consider the SECOND jobbiest moment on RWBY in how bad it was(really roman lost in less that a M Inute) but at least Weiss have her new hability

He didn't put up a good performance.

He didn't just lose because he was caught off guard by the elements of the battle?

[up]Is weird because if something Roman seen very good at catching people off guard(as he did with Ruby the three times) that battle being so bad is one of the reason some user dosent respect Blake at all

All of them are weak in a one on one fight. None of them really did any good taking on the villains at all except that one time with Blake.

#34124: May 8th 2016 at 11:59:34 PM

[up]no much, Yang is quite capable in one on one fights, is just that so far the villian are way bette than them.

[up][up]Yeah, that would be the worse, Volume 2 is really bad and I think is kind of a dork age(or will be) as the show go own

Well any of them COULD be capable in a one on one fight but they aren't because they're too weak now.

Saying Weiss is bad at one on one fights because Banesaw overpowered her doesn't mean Weiss is, just that she wasn't strong enough yet.
