I didn't think we had Cinder's actual age. Either way, I've heard of that, and it still sounds pretty crazy. Aw, fandoms.

Unfortunately, if she was any older and they didn't say that vague age range thing...it'd be almost impossible to tell. She wouldn't show any signs of age or have any stress lines because she's always smugging.

Sage was not exactly taken out damage wise and more ringed out which would be the tactical way to remove a tank instead of dealing heavy damage and expending energy fighting the tank.

[up]Pretty much. Was it silly? Yes. Was it a comic relief moment? Sure. Does that mean Sage couldn't be used seriously in the future? Of course not.

People taking stuff like that too seriously or as a general reflection of ability is a common problem with all fiction.

Like, first impressions matter and all, but they shouldn't be the end all be all to a character.

He has dishonored his family name.

It's too early to say what'll happen with the rest of Team SSSN

Until he does more, his one standout moment will define him...

Except to the people who want more from the source.

Then when writing their fan-fiction, they'll proceed to do exactly that.

[up] (2)

I was about to say he doesn't have a last name, but the wiki says it's Ayana.

Oh no I'm certain Fanfiction!Sage is probably a BAMF. Just like Yang Really Gets Around and Neo's Banana Woman tendencies are ramped up to eleven.

Chibi!Sage will probably be the best, most likable character because everyone is better in Chibi.

Sage did help decapitate a nevermore when the grim attacked the arena. So he didn't exactly do nothing. He just got a bad match up in the tournament.

But it IS the end all with Sage. He's done fuck all else

Unless you count joining Yatsuhashi to decapitate that Nevermore.

That said, my real issue is this attitude I've seen from some people that because Sage or Scarlet (or any other bit character) hasn't done much as of yet, they therefore cannot possibly be of anymore use in the story. For instance, I've seen people suggest, in response to the notion that Sun should have taken them with him on his "trip to help Blake", that they're useless and could not have helped. Which is of course, a terrible argument, since we know next to nothing about how talented either of them is on average.

Basically, there's nothing wrong with joking about "Team Hot'n'Useless" but it becomes irritating when the meme drifts over into actual character discussion, which I've seen happen.

That's a silly argument to make. Sun explicitly states that Sage and Scarlet were kept behind because Neptune couldn't ride a boat, so it was better for them to stay together since Sun is competent enough on his own.

AmbarSonofDeshar Since: Jan, 2010
#42218: Nov 24th 2016 at 9:41:41 PM

Actually all he says is he couldn't get Neptune on a boat. He says nothing about Sage and Scarlet. Which is what had prompted the argument in the first place.

Regardless, I'm glad we agree that a meme shouldn't enter into that discussion.

But Sun's main point was that he told them that he was leaving and that he'd be coming back, unlike Blake, for whatever that's worth.

RWBY-themed team, with Ruby as Mega Absol, Weiss as Alolan-Ninetales, Blake as Alolan-Persian, Yang as Bewear, Jaune as Aegislash, and Ozpin as Alakazam.

Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!
