In all seriousness Penny probably would have been disqualified and Atlas would be in serious trouble because they snuck a robot disguised as a student in, which could have been viewed as blatant cheating.

I'd put money on Phyrra's ashes. They're everywhere! Yang's arm won't see them coming.

You just know that Pyrrha's ashes and Yang's severed arm would still be deadlier than Blake. evil grin

What if Weiss learned swordsmanship under Zorro?

What if Rocky took Yang under his wing?

What if Mr. Miyagi taught Blake?

I get the feeling they'd both be better fighters...

Not Snowflake though, not even the great vigilante would improve her skills. She's the best fighter of the group.

What if Weiss was a Jedi Master?

What if Ruby was a Sith Lord?

What if White Rose still happened under both of the above hypotheticals?

There's a fanfic out there about that, probably. Blake reads it.

I don't know if Ruby has enough bitter hate in her to be a Sith Lord. I mean, she's got the passion and poor impulse control for it, but I just can't see her tapping into hate to shoot lightning at people.

See, now I'm just picturing Ruby running around the academy in a black cloak, sneaking up on people and going, "ZZZAP ZAP!" at them before scampering off. And it is hilarious.

With Nora immediately joining in.

[up]I can actually imagine Nora going " UNLIMITED POWAAAAAAAAAH!" every time she used her power.

But if there is any star wars chararter, that would be Adam: black,red sword, cut hero hand...he is everything Kylo ren which to be, but he isnt

Now, since Tobias is kind new here I gonig to put him in most important discussion in this thread:

What is better? Robot arm Yang or Grimm arm yang?

If Phyrra return, should be in reveant mode like MK or like Cyborg?

Should Penny return in another cyborg body? or she maybe should return into cresent rose?

And...that it, the more important matter in this thread.

  1. Robot arm. With a built-in version of her shotgun gauntlet.
  2. Revenant. She was burnt to ash. If she comes back, she should be a fire revenant like Scorpion.
  3. I want Penny back exactly as she was, but I fear she's going to come back as, like, an army of Penny robots or some other sinister thing. I'm sure she'll be back, but I'm also just as sure that she's not going to be Penny anymore. Or, more specifically, I'm sure we'll see more Penny models, but they won't be our Penny.

Considering Rooster Teeth's other robotic characters, I expect nothing less than either Penny army, Paladin!Penny, Weapon!Penny, Foreign Language!Penny, or some combination of the above.

Roses and frost don't mix, Bette Midler withstanding.

Of all the songs to get stuck in my head. Thanks, Soble.

On the other hand something about Ruby better contrast with Cinder.

Because so far Ruby's motivation is "she killed my friend, now I have to kill her?"

None of RNJR seem to be motived by 'kill' right now. They're trying to understand what happened and they're searching for answers. I don't even think they've got as far as 'kill'. They haven't got past 'why' yet.

The main connection and contrast between Cinder and Ruby right now is that they both have terrible, mythical powers that the world has forgotten can exist. One possesses the power artificially, having stolen it, and knows exactly what they want to do with it. The other possesses the power naturally, having been born with it, and doesn't have a clue how to use it.

Further more, Cinder wants power, she wants control and she wants to be feared. Ruby just wants to be normal and she doesn't want to be singled out as special. Cinder's entire speech was bitter and when I look back at her interactions with Roman, or the discussion they were having about the White Fang at the end of Volume 2, she seems to view the world in the lowest common denominator - everyone's out for what they can get, so she's going to do it better than anyone else. Ruby has a much more optimistic, hopeful view of people and the world in general.

I'd say the contrast is already there, but Cinder's the red herring really. She's not the proper villain, she's just a tool of the real villain, and Ruby's optimism is already a stark contrast to Salem's view of the world. It's telling, I think, that Salem's song suggests that her most important goal (in her quest to bring down Ozpin) appears to be destroying Ruby's hope - the song indicates she thinks it'll be destroying Ruby's hope for the future that'll be the key to destroying Ozpin's own hope.

Cinder's just a stepping stone, and I believe she has no idea that she's in completely over head. Salem's told her more than Ozpin has told Ruby, but really Salem's only told Cinder enough to be useful. Eventually, Cinder is going to stop being useful.

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.

The most glaring diference, is that Cinder dosent belive in the hunter system, her song is about Ozpin using everyone and them sacrifice them while Ruby belive in the system and have a very naive wordview.

In sort, Cinder look like Cinical Ruby, someone who saw something and therefor want to tear out the world in flames.

I wonder if Penny's plan to stay at Beacon will factor into her survival. Maybe she uploaded herself into another site. I will be amused if she turns up as an AI assistant in RNJR's scrolls.

Team RNJR: Age of Penny when?

Also, speaking of, there's been so much arguing over whether or not Ruby or Jaune is going to lead Team RNJR when the acronym allows for someone else to lead the team: Ren.

[up]Harly a case, Ren is too much passive for that, a leader need to make decision, Ren most of the time get his voice drown on Nora to said about anything.

I think Ruby and Jaune can share leadership since Ruby is not very tactical most of the time.

And if Penny is Ultron, Weiss is Tony, Blake is black panther(skin color and fighting hability aside) Yang is Bucky, who the hell is Cap? Ruby?

[up] Ruby is totally Cap.

I'd kinda like to see Ren be in charge of Team RNJR. It would allow for some much needed development, and I think he could be a good leader if he wanted to.

But let's be real it's probably gonna be Ruby because she is the main character and all.
