Nope. On Saturday, if I remember correctly.

Why are spoilers off then if it's not even available to most people yet?

It technically is available to most people, there's just the extra loop of "Have a free Rooster Teeth account" onto "And you just watch it".

I'd ask the same question but really all you have to do is make a Rooster Teeth account for free and you can watch it a day after it comes out, which I assume most of the people here in this thread have, so it hasn't been an issue thus far.

With a week-long buffer we'll all be spoil-tagging for awhile. But then if not that's potentially alienating people who don't want to make a Rooster Teeth account. Although I don't particularly see why since it's free and gives access to new content sooner rather than later.

Ruby and maiden power

Eh, I was getting the vibe that silver eyes =/= maiden power.

I'm really not assuming it is either. Especially with the villains saying they've dealt with her kind before and rather indicated it's a separate thing.

I'd prefer it if they aren't related, actually. Though, I think the chances of one of the girls, probably Ruby, becoming a Maiden at some point is high.

I actually think the chances of all four of them getting the powers by the end of things are pretty decent.

Everyone in Team RWBY becoming a Maiden eventually seems pretty likely to me.

[up]I think not, more likey is that Salem will get the Maiden powers and RWBY will have to find a way to stop her

Given Amber's fight with Cinder, Merc and Emmy I think the maidens are massively overblown and they'd do better trying to recruit more people.

Who would do better trying to recruit more people?

[up][up] the villains. Just pick up more street rats, each one is a third of the way to beating up maidens

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#40789: Oct 27th 2016 at 7:58:00 PM

[up]Eh, it's not like they out brute-forced her. They had a highly coordinated plan and good openings. Which proves they aren't unbeatable or godly, but like I said before, I don't think the story made them out to be.

That aside, there are other things wrong with the set up. Like, if they keep the Maidens secret and are supposed to be protecting them, how do they do their whole, "helping the world" thing?

Furthermore, was that wizard the only one of his kind and the only person with any magical ability at all?

Totally convinced now. The point is, assuming it's as easy as "getting any three people together" is being disingenuous.

Edit: Anyway, it seems likely that they have more planned with the power than "Get it all and be all powerful". Only time will tell how exactly they want to use it and what for.

They ambushed her and got in some cheap shots.

And had someone with them who could screw with her perception of reality. Frankly, I think that fight might have been better if it had been entirely from Amber's point of view, instead of shifting around. I'm curious as to how many of the attacks she doesn't react well to, are attacks where Emerald was blinding her.

I take it the reviewer doesn't like Yang.

It's just a Running Gag where in everyone says they don't much care for Yang...including the author now.
