Pretty sure it's supposed to have the general feel of various celebrity charities, with the assumption that said celebrities are neither knowledgeable or particularly about what the charity is about, and are just looking for good publicity.

You may or may not be the kind of person who believes that to be the case. I don't think we were supposed to believe that all the people there felt the same as that woman though; just that she was one of the few to actually have an opinion stronger than "eh".

Neptune's alright. I'd like him more if he had any characterization beyond "Sun's pal + crippling water phobia" though.

He seriously got more characterization in RWBY Chibi than he did in the main series.

Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.

You know, it suddenly occurs to me that I really hope they don't have Sun seriously maimed trying to protect Blake from Adam/have him saving her from Adam.

The first has already been done with Yang and the second is just so tired and cliche among other things. And I don't think they'd be able to pull it of well like the admittedly cliche "approving mother, disapproving father" bit.

Well, I don't think it's a sure thing but they seem to be trying to build up their relationship and Adam is likely going to make an appearance. It's a fill in the blank kind of situation.

Short version: Sun's the (arguably) lovable comic relief who isn't a main character, and is therefore expendable.

Long version: He's the love interest who obviously falls under "Everything Blake Loves (tm)," and it would be somewhat fitting for Adam to target him since Sun's pretty much glued himself to Blake.

Also, unlike Pyrrha we've had Sun walk in on at least 3 fights and contribute significantly, and for the most part he's never been "owned" So having himake a mortal blow for Blake serves a dual purpose: A) it deepens Blake's fear of Adam hurting people she cares about, and B) keeps Sun from being a Boring Invincible Hero by... making him a Dead Noninvincible Guy.

The better question to ask is who at this point in Blake's storyline isn't a target in the impending Adampocalypse?

Adam doing the latter would require him going off the deep end entirely or the White Fang in its entirety publicly expressing a With Us or Against Us mentality to literally everyone - there's no way the White Fang would allow it otherwise.

I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out not to either, but it'd definitely be a big step from his zealously-human-hating White Fang edgelord persona - he's pretty much the face of the White Fang to us right now.

Every time Ironwood appears I like him more and more. At first I thought he was going to be either seriously incompetent or corrupt.

Heh, there was so much suspicion of that, Miles flat-out said that no, he's one of the good guys. I think it was after Ironwood got to provide security of the festival with his army over Ozpin's way.

The slight change in looks also got him fans. The scruff makes him look much younger.

Never understood why some people assumed the worst about him, he really didn't do anything to warrant it. It's not like doubting Ozpin was a clear sign of villainy.

#42742: Dec 12th 2016 at 7:36:04 PM

Because people just like to make assumptions like that so they can go "I was right!" Also, he's the general character, and people love those being evil/corrupt.

[up][up][up][up]I don't think it was "younger" so much as "sexier" to people. His face is pretty much identical aside from the scruff, with the same age-implying aspects remaining bare...only his cheekbone lines are obscured by it, which aren't a thing particularly associated with age. The new threads (I'm not a clothing expert, but I think his new coat might have a particular Victorian sort of look to it) and stubble just happened to set off Silver Fox alerts.

At this point I wonder what's up with Jacques Schnee, he makes Quark from Deep Space Nine look like Mother Theresa. I suspect that somethings up with SDC or he really may just be a greedy bastard.

I'd lose a tiny bit of respect for the writers if he was just a greedy SOB. It's been done to death (even the aforementioned Quark has his Pet the Dog moments). Either he knows (vaguely) about what happened at Beacon and doesn't want to risk his company or he really can't see past SDC's bottom line. Given how much the upper crust of Atlas reeks of "the 1%", that's not out of the realm of possibility. Like Raven, he's blinded by his short term gains and his position.

I'd like to see just a little more dept.

Speaking of depth, I hope Whitely turns out okay. Like I don't want him to be nice, but I also don't want him to be an unlikeable asshole who readily sides with Jacques (at least super willingly).

If he does side with his father I expect it to be just that, a kid siding with their parent. He doesn't need to be irredeemable to do that.

Just like a disturbing amount of people took him disliking Winter as proof of him being up to no good. Because siblings can't dislike each other, apparently.

Are we forgetting the fact that he helped Weiss by telling her information that Jacques definitely wouldn't want Weiss to know?
