They still would...but be seen in a negative light generally.

Yeah, they aren't mutually exclusive but having both actually feel natural here is going to be very difficult.

Ya know, having the villains win near effortlessly doesn't suddenly mean it's ok for the heroes to do so.

Nobody said it was...in fact, just about everyone besides the original person who said anything about it has been going against the curbstomp.

I dont think Cinder rigged all the fight, her main objective was Phyrra, in part because she is top student and because it was obvious she will be chosen to be fall maiden while Penny was pretty much a HUGE and jucy bonus.

which again, it surprise me Ironwood still around with a job.

And about Adam losing...I want him to lost in a fair fight, while I get annoying for his abusing antics, he is so far badass, let hope is not a Roman vs Ruby rematch, that was bad

This.

[up]We see her rig non-Pyrrha fights though. And Pyrrrha wasn't the only student on her list of targets. She wasn't even the first. "'Add her to the list" ie. There were others on the list before Pyrrha.

It would be very stupid to hinge the entire plan on Pyrrha getting to the finals since while she is one of the best athletes in the tournament a freak occurrence could happen and knock her out of the tournament early.

Also I doubt that Cinder knew Pyrrha would be picked as the Fall Maiden replacement. She could have made a guess that she would be a candidate but knowing 100% that they would pick her would be unrealistic considering all the variables that would have had to be considered. I mean hell there would have been a stronger argument for Ruby to be the new maiden from an outside perspective; Ozpin personally let her into Beacon two years early, gives her a lot more slack and leeway and her uncle came to Amber's rescue and is tight with Oz.

wild mass guess Raven curbstomps Adam, but her doing so ends up having nothing to do with him cutting off Yang's arm.

Still voting for team RNJR to 'kidnap' Weiss later.

Jacques is the classic "I don't want to get involved" character in most works, I suspect that he can't see past the Schnee Dust Company. Either:

  • He's like Luke Skywalker at the start of A New Hope "I don't like the empire, I hate it but there's nothing I can do". He doesn't want to ruin his company and reputation by getting involved in what, to him, is a bunch of war and trouble in a far off kingdom when he has a company to run.
    • Like Luke losing his family to the empire, soon the war will come to Atlas and Salem will send in her goons (plus the White Fang) to make a mess of things. wild mass guess This gets him off his ass and into the fight on the side of Team RWBY.

  • Or he's Quark from Star Trek Deep Space Nine turned Up To Eleven: aside from his family, it's all about the Lien baby. He wants to keep his company (and that includes his family) under control. He has no interest outside of SDC and really doesn't care about the other kingdoms, he's just a Slave to PR.

I would say Weiss is Luke. Luke wanted to join the Rebellion, he wanted to join Biggs and get his power converters and fight the empire. The second Ben gave him the opportunity, he split.

Ah, so the White Fang are going to send their Stormtroopers to kill Jacques is what you're saying.

But unlike A New Hope, Jacques will destroy them all with his Stand...I mean uhhhh, summon Semblance whatever. Yes, lets go with that.

I swear if Jacques isn't incredibly broken I'll be disappointed.

Jacques will repel the White Fang with his magnificent moustache. There's a reason despite the WF spending years targeting the family they've never dared attack the patriarch directly, and it's that they respect/fear the facial hair. Volume 5 will have the fall of Atlas start by Salem sending Watts to take care of him.

In all seriousness though, I imagine the main Schnee family have ludicrous levels of security that makes any direct attack suicide.

Yeah, but now it's "official in story" instead of "Word of God in a post on Facebook specifically to answer that question"

Because you know. For some reason, some people believe that Word of God is pointless and that only things in the material itself matter -eyeroll-

Never doubted it's validity, but some of us thought "random" meant a coin toss based on the parents not "completely random" with no regards to the parents.

Because you know. For some reason, some people believe that Word of God is pointless and that only things in the material itself matter -eyeroll-

Because when you don't have stuff in the material you have:

  • Dumbledore was gay! Isn't that something!?
  • Freeza's power level was higher than Cold's because the guidebook said so!
  • The entire point of LOST was picking the next god, we were always going in this direction!

Not to say "Word of God is stupid and neglible!" but "Word of God isn't absolutely fact when Trolling Creator and Shrug of God exist."

[up]Cold commented on Frieza being stronger than him in the story, though. Something about him saying "If someone beat Frieza, they must really be the strongest in the Universe" or something.

Okay, better examples would be 17 and 18's names being Lapis and Lazuli, and Bibidi having clones instead of a son, despite neither of these things changing the course of events and just being "Word of God after the fact."

They don't improve things but they don't harm it either. Knowing 17 and 18 real names was at least a curiosity for awhile, I think.
