Alfric: Again, is less anti military and more leck of sublety, Ironwood dosent know the nature of their enemy and dosent seen want to know which make a pawn, he is fairly obvious chararter, the one who want glorious army to crush anything, but his problem is not the lack of a army but their showing against someone you cant beat that easly.

Also Qrow can be right but is also a dick, he have what I call "Dr house condition" he tell the truth and for him that entitled to be a dick

About Cinder...she is important in term of plot but her personaity leave a lot to be desired, I even remenber some video explaing she dosent really have a range of emotion except "vaguely smug" and that Roman show waaaay more(He is bossy with is underling, try to show strenght with Emerald and Mercury, is scared of Cinder, and no own)

". Her whole attitude just oozes "evil bitch", even when she's trying to play nice. I'll buy that nobody's touched that, because why would you ever want to?"

Evil bitch also range into evil seductress, so she display that personality.

"why is the power so blatantly sexist anyway?"

I remenber in warhammer novel a necromance try to bring back a vampire from death with a ritual, the protagonist kill the necromance and save the girl but even them the vampire return, when he ponder about why consider the ritual need virgin blood, he look the Necromancer body...and laught about it.

Also I kept saying, as far I concern Cinder used to work in sex hotline when she was young and her voice just stuck into that modeevil grin

You forgot option D) AKA "run away screaming".

Incidentally, that is how I react to girls I do like aproaching me as well.

Cinder's attractiveness feels forced but I do think she has a really attractive design. There aren't many other characters who I think are particularly attractive beyond the usual generic animation attractiveness. Maybe Blake, although I don't like catgirls.

@Wyldchyld: I agree with most of your points, but I'm not too sure on the whole thing of "Mantle was the biggest loser of the war, hence its destruction", because that personally brings to mind a lot of countries in real life that had that happened, and ended up causing terrible things.

Yeah. It's only a theory I have... and, yes, I do see the Atlas government heading towards the dark place as a result (especially if the other kingdoms are apparently starting to get a bit jumpy about the direction Atlas is going in).

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

Was rewatching the show with a friend of mine. Looking at the battle between Coco and Yatsuhashi on the one side, and Emerald and Mercury on the other, I started wondering if Team CFVY may have screwed up when it comes to selecting their pair for the doubles rounds. I find this interesting, if only because I don't really question the decisions that we know the other teams made.

Now, obviously, we have limited information about the team to start with, so there may well be factors influencing the decision that we don't know about. For all we know, the two of them have been together as long as Ren and Nora and have correspondingly great teamwork that no other possible combo can match. But leaving aside that possibility, I do wonder if a different combination of skills might have performed better.

On the surface, the two of them do make a good team—the dedicated gunner and the dedicated swordsman. However both suffer from one crippling defect—they're slower than hell. In video game terms (which as always, are pretty applicable in RWBY), both would fall into Mighty Glacier territory—they may hit incredibly hard, but between Yatsuhashi's bulk and Coco's deliberate strut, neither one is going to win any races any time soon. And it costs them in the fight with Mercury, who is hands down, one of the fastest characters we've yet seen (the guy intercepted Ruby in mid-Super-Speed burst and knocked her out of the air after all). Now there are other factors at work there—Mercury's a Professional Killer in a tournament full of students, Emerald's got a borderline game breaker Semblance that nobody knows about—but the lack of speed is obviously hurting them, and potentially would against other fast-moving fighters as well. To pick an example off the top of my head, if the tournament brackets had been different I would see them struggling to catch Neon on her rollerblades.

Obviously whoever went up against the Mercury/Emerald combination was more or less destined to lose, but I do ponder whether the presence Fox or Velvet, both of whom seem to have greater speed, would have at least helped them make a better fight of it—and whether the Coco/Yatsuhashi combo really was the best one in general.

Actually, Coco's not a Mighty Glacier, she's a a Glass Cannon. And immobile one, but a glass cannon.

Mighty Glacier requires toughness, which Coco lacks.

And in any case: Cinder rigged the entire Vytal Festival, doesn't matter who Mercury/Emerald went against, they were going to lose to Mercury/Emerald

[up]Thank you for quibbling over terminology rather than answering the question.

And since I didn't suggest anyone could have beaten Mercury/Emerald (outside a serious, no-way-to-see-it-coming upset) and never suggested otherwise, that's a response to what exactly?

I always felt Coco put herself in because she wanted to show off for her apparant fans in the crowd. Which was a tactical blunder yeah, and kind of goes with Ozpin's supposed mishandling of his students. Velvet and Fox would have been much better but they like to keep Velvet in reserve, and I dunno, Fox just seems to be ignored. Even Sage and Scarlet got more to do then him. He hasn't even spoken yet.

Not it really mattered because it was unlikely anyone could have taken Mercury except maybe Pyrrha. He's just that much better than everyone else, being a trained assassin and with Cinder rigging the matches they only fought CFVY because they wanted to use Yang and Pyrrha in their other evil scheme.

But yeah Coco should not have put herself in. A minigun is not a good dueling weapon.

So I watched the latest episode of RWBY Chibi, and... is it bad for me to think that Cinder behind her composure is actually rather insane? Like I have always imagined that Cinder is actually akin to a Terrorist Without A Cause, or at least, a really nihilist cause.

Which is a shame. Fox's character design is strange enough that I'd like to find out what's up with him.

Not it really mattered because it was unlikely anyone could have taken Mercury except maybe Pyrrha.

I think that Penny might have been able to give him a bad time of it too, at least prior to them finding out she's a robot (which only happens after the doubles rounds are complete). She had Pyrrha on the edge for most of their fight, and only lost because of a Kryptonite Factor. I'm not saying she'd beat him, mind you, but I think she could at least run him close.

Am now wondering if Emerald's powers would even work on Penny.

But yeah Coco should not have put herself in. A minigun is not a good dueling weapon.

Her weapon's pretty much designed for one thing only, and that's mowing down packs of Grimm. It's of pretty limited utility against human opponents, isn't it?

I mean, I suppose she could potentially be a rather nightmarish opponent for someone like LT Leatherface (or her own teammate Yatsuhashi) who relies on soaking up damage rather than dodging, but in general she's going to be laying down suppressing fire and that's about it.

It's funny that Cinder showed more character in a minute of Chibi than in two seasons of the regular show. Granted Chibi-Cinder is basically a totally different character. Where as everyone else is an exageration of stuff they'd done in show turned up to 11 for comedy, her stereotypical over the top evil thing isn't likely going to appear in show at all (unless her last minute complete victory denial really does unhinge her that much)

It also shows that Nigiri actually can emote, and and her boring and flat delivery is just because canon Cinder was written to be boring and flat.

I was thinking about the anti military theme people discussed earlier. I never got that vibe. I saw the point of the show to be, that a show of force doesn't make people feel secure. In the contrary. It's more an allegory to the war on terror. Like terrorists, the grimm feed on fear and hatred. And Ironwood is the personified, well-meaning but overreacting cry for more security.

I hesitate to call Cinder flat, if only because she has big boobs we really don't know that much about her. I hope Volume 4 gives us insight into her backstory.
