Yeah, when volume 3 was airing I used to used Crunchyroll for it. Better quality and a day after the sponsors.

Then again, that might have been the free release. And I realize that now it might be a week behind, would would make me regret the re-sub.

I expect Adam already knows about Blake being allies with Weiss. They were very publically attacking the Fang together.

In fact that's likely the reason for his rage. Note that initially Adam was willing to just let Blake be despite Fang deserters supposed to be marked for death, and had to be threatened to join Cinder because he wanted nothing to do with her. Post Volume 2 and he's not only making it his mission to find and hurt Blake, but he rally's the Fang to keep following Cinder's group even after she ended up getting many of them killed and nobody but him wanted to keep working for her.

What caused this change? He found out Blake had joined the humans, to be a Huntress which he took as a serious and personal betrayal. I suspect initially he assumed Blake was anti-human as him, but didn't have the nerve to slaughter them enmasse like he wanted and she just was going to be alone to stay out of their war, which was something he could reluctantly live with. But her actually joining the humans side, and wanting to take a place in their oppressive to Faunus system and fighting the Fang was something he took as a deep and personal betrayal.

[up] It's quite possible, yes. Although there's being allied, and there's being friends.

Adam didn't seem to know who Yang was until he saw Blake's reaction to her, and she was at the train assault too.

From few pages back:

Is Blake Unintentionally Unsympathetic as a result of her decision to run away?

All my jokes about her combat capacity aside, I can't quite call it rational, but most certainly understandable given her character, and certainly not unsympathetic.

On the Unintentionally Unsympathetic issue. The reason I raised the question is because, as written, it looks like a really badly worded entry - the complaining makes it seem like a shoehorn. However, my concern is actually about whether or not the creators' intentions make the unintentional part of the trope valid, given that Blake's actions are criticised in-universe.

I don't habitually clean up entire YMMV pages, but I will query individual trope entries if the examples jump out at me. Tobias and Adric have pretty much voiced everything that's been going through my mind about this particular example, but if you notice, I'm just asking about it. I haven't touched it or stripped it from the page. And, if the majority are fine with leaving the entry alone, leaving it alone is exactly what I'll do. Had I been given the impression there was a problem with the entry, my next action would have been to pull it to the Discussion Page, not delete it outright.

Not to be rude, and to be fair there are people who add tropes but never post in this thread, but who is going to determine what's a general opinion of the fandom? Me? You?

Normally, I pull an entry to the Discussion Page (edit reasons are good places to raise awareness of the need to discuss). I will come to the forum thread and/or ATT if the Discussion Page looks like a resolution won't be possible. Sometimes, I will also go to Is This An Example? if I think more input is needed. On this occasion, I wasn't sure whether I should pull to the Discussion Page at all, which is why I asked here before doing anything.

There are plenty of ways to build up a picture of whether an entry should stay or go, be reworded or left in peace. And in none of the options I've listed will there be a genuine majority of all people who happen to either read or edit the wiki. That just doesn't happen. You just go with the majority of the people who respond. It's the best anyone can realistically do on a website like this.

Most of the time, the reason for removing an entry from a YMMV will be due to misuse of the trope in question, or an example that is demonstrably misrepresenting the work, the scene, the fans or the creators. Even YMMV entries have rules that can be broken.

Though, I'm not sure how reliable that site is for my computer...never been there.

I never used to have a problem with the website, until my elderly computer (which was so old it was running Windows Vista) started keeling over every time the elderly graphics card was needed. Now I have a new computer with a new graphics card and a super-sparkly Windows 10... I find the videos on the Rooster Teeth a nightmare to load without constant buffering occurring. I don't know why. I don't have this problem for any other website out there, just RT's.

I saw RWBY chibi of today and....I feel some of them could be canon between season, Weiss later to her sister could very well been canon truth be told

Who do you think fought the doubles round for JNPR? We know one of them was Phyrra due to how the fighters were picked out, but who was the other?

I'm pretty sure it was stated somewhere that it was Nora and Pyrrha, and if it wasn't then we might as well assume it was them when they're the team's powerhouses.

I suppose it could have been Ren and Pyrrha but that might be a bit awkward given that Nora just came off an incredible showing in the first round. Like, Weiss and Yang were chosen to advance because they were basically their team's MVPs in the first round, with Yang progressing to the third after handling both Team FNKI's fighters once Weiss's Heroic Sacrifice backfired.

I know the teams pick their own fighters to advance but in a setup like this, that's a popular way to choose them. Whoever's really bringing their A game advances, and in JNPR's first match, that was Nora.

Thus, while there's no reason it couldn't be Ren, the assumption of "Nora unless stated otherwise" makes the most sense to me. I would add that presumably Pyrrha had a better second round than her first where she and Ren were basically just backing up Nora, likely because their second round foe didn't make the same mistake of trying to electrocute Nora. Without the sneak-attack of Nora's Semblance, Pyrrha resumed her place as Team JNPR's best fighter.

But that's all speculation.

In the V3 commentary, Miles and Kerry confirmed that Pyrrha and Nora were JNPR's chosen fighters. At first, we were meant to see their doubles round against Sun and Neptune, but it was cut for time. That fight isn't exactly canon now, since Sun was also in the finals, but there's little reason to believe those two teams had different lineup.

[up]or maybe they just lose they cheer Phyrra, dosent it? I mean for what i get Penny and Phyrra was supused to be final.

Also, I dont think Ironwood would bb headmaster anymore, Cinder pretty much grab him in his metalic balls with the whole Penny buissness, there is two option here: ether Penny was issue by Atlas goverment which mean he blew it or Penny was made by someone else and Ironwood blew it too.

Yeah, not a good time for him

Worth noting that Pyrrha excels at man-on-man combat (hell, her episode vs Penny was called Pv P), while Nora has more credentials in teamfights and versus boss monsters.

Pyrrha also excels at man-on-team combat as demonstrated by her complete dismantling of the entire Team CRDN at one point. But yes, I agree. She's an excellent duelist, while Nora's more specialized for beast slaying.

It's her Semblance. Grimm don't have as many metal parts as human combatants.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if we see some kind of Atlas-tech Grimm hybrid. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Atlas is actually working on something to that effect as we speak.

I could've sworn Jaune had stubble when that trailer was leaked, and I don't remember hearing JNPR's voices.

Also it does look better. I'm not liking how the light bounces off of Ruby though, she's too shiny. I'm also questioning how Ruby's Semblance got stronger; I hope they actually show that evolution happening in some capacity and it isn't just Art Evolution.

That Gorilla Grimm just threw a Beowulf at Ruby so it could hit her. I think I like these new Grimm.

Dang, them's some vintage Red Trailer vibes. Definitely a visual upgrade. I know it's a trailer and we know how those go, but if this is the visual direction the show's headed, count me in.

It'll take a bit of time to get used to the new look, but once I do, I'll agree it looks better.
