[up][up][up] The only reason I can see something like that is if he ran off like Raven did after Yang was born to do mysterious stuff in the wilderness, only to get cold feet and come back (unlike Raven) only to find that Taiyang and Summer had more or less Unpersoned the Branwens for ditching their kids and, both out of shame for abandoning her and not wanting to have to get involved in her life because of his semblance, decided to leave things be.

It's far more likely however, that Qrow was in a relationship with Summer at some point in the past that fell apart prior to Taiyang and Summer getting together, and his attachment to Ruby is his way of indulging in what might have been.

Or you know, he's just her uncle and loves her for no other reason than they're family.

[up] I'd say that's certainly possible, but that being said he isn't her biological uncle. (one way or another)

It's somewhat unusual that Qrow is seemingly more attached to his non-biological niece than his biological niece.

Who says he's more attached? Ruby seems more interested in Qrow's fighting style and such so they interacted more. That doesn't mean he likes or loves Yang less or anything.

[up][up][up]It's was a support beam or whatever, but like I said, that was in the middle of an already dangerous fight. We have no reason to assume potentially deadly things are constantly happen to people around him in mundane situations.

Like I said, for RNJR's situation, which is full of danger by its very nature, it makes more sense for him to play it safe and not potentially cause a little slip up that might cause someone their life. But that's not the same thing as assuming that just being around him is going to, I don't know, make the entire house cave in or whatever catastrophe it seems people are making constantly happen around him.

Frankly, I think it's weird that Ruby didn't know about his Semblance before this.
That's a point I hadn't actually considered before. It is definitely a bit odd, now that I stop and think about it. Maybe Crow kept it quiet because he didn't want to be known as a walking bad luck charm, even by family.

Didn't a steel girder or something nearly fall on Ruby though?
It was a wooden support beam, but yeah, that happened. It seems reasonable to believe that his semblance "flares up" when his aura is in active use (like during combat), though — to my knowledge, we haven't seen anything like that happening when Crow was just hanging out with people, and IIRC this is the first time we've really seen him going all out.

Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.

"Who says he's more attached? Ruby seems more interested in Qrow's fighting style and such so they interacted more. That doesn't mean he likes or loves Yang less or anything. "

I He call her crazy after she explain her version of the fact in the arena, something I really doubt will happen if ruby was the one frame.

" that's not the same thing as assuming that just being around him is going to, I don't know, make the entire house cave in or whatever catastrophe it seems people are making constantly happen around him."

Not but it could be, imagine being with a child or a baby and the probability YOUR presence make things worst

"we haven't seen anything like that happening when Crow was just hanging out with people, and IIRC this is the first time we've really seen him going all out."

We see a log move in the tale episode, and while the rest are no confirm we have a bunch of situation that could be explain by is semblence: in the bar a glass fall down after he leaves, Winter atack and just happen that Ironwood is there, a griffion sneak into Ironwood back and so on.

"but my point is that fans have to guess his motives are something they can agree with in order to paint as a Well-Intentioned Extremist. And when they discover their assumption was wrong, call foul. That's their error, not the show's."

I dont think is something they have to guess as is fairly smpler set up: the white fang want faunus right but they are more than willing to use violence to achive their means because they dont see anything else as posible, is pretty damn typical

"it's also speculation to claim it's Cinder's plan (which is how a lot of fans interpreted the scene)."

No really: Between black trailer and end of volume 2 we dont know the arrengement between the two so is easy to speculate, come volume 3 at show Cinder pretty much force him to go along which create this disconexion because ether he decide to go with the ride or he is just biding is time or well...something else, we dont really know, it dosent matter if no Cinder plan, is now that he didnt want to carry on and was force by gunppoint into it, only to him carry to point of throwing WF live in it which come as little odd.

" At that point, his words are not those of someone who is working with Cinder or Salem, or someone who is in the middle of wrecking a school."

Adam: we are going to fire the light of revolution...consider this the spark

Yeah, that is exactly what he is doing or is intention anyway, what is ambigious if is try to shame her like abusing boyfriend or trying to controling by call her a "TRAITOR" because she dosent share the same delusions about giving mankind justice, in this case is also a comentary of the white fang and what vision he have for blake which make go after her like a madman

It was mentioned last page by someone who claimed it showed her flying towards Robot Heaven. A quick web search josses that as she's chasing Roman in a plane while team RWBY and JNPR fight a giant Grimm, placing this firmly before the Volume 2 finale.

Dunno if this has been posted on this thread or not, but here's a video containing all of the hints toward's Qrow's semblance.

I think it's an accomplishment that the MLP thread fucking derailed into a RWBY discussion. I'm-ma cross post something I posted over there because I like what I wrote:

This is written not as someone who dislike Jaune but finds analyzing opinion, opinionating analyzation, to be a fascinating topic:

Jaune, as he starts out, fits a number of tropes that rub people the wrong way. Something a kin to the Unlucky Everydude, as he's not a trained bad ass like the rest of the cast but still somehow hang out with them. Like who the fuck were those two teenagers that hung out with the Super Friends? Why were they there?

Continuing off Unlucky Everydude, he's the guy you explain "As you know" too without being someone who knows. That trope, lemme just read the entry, is associated with "Bishoujo Series, especially love/harem comedies." And you'll rarely struggle for a strong Hatedom to the male protagonists of those type of series.

Jaune hit those buttons, man, and he hit them pretty hard for some people. Then, then, he drew the attention and admiration of the self-aggrandizing waifu Pyrhha, who is clearly too good for him but somehow she finds his bumbling ignorance of how great she is appealing. Then he isn't a hyper*competent enough individual to prevent the start to a series of fuck-ups that end in her demise**.

To make it more short and succinct, Jaune suffered a little bit of the Hatedom that followed at the heels of both Wendy & Marvin and Keitaro.

Edit: And I should say, "-and characters like them."

Talking about someone being "too good" for someone always strikes me as uncomfortable unless we're just talking about a total asshole or abusive prick.

If someone likes someone and they're a decent enough person how are they slumming it or whatever? It makes it sound like there's some objective standards for how hot or smooth or whatever someone has to be to date them.

Note, this is a general thought and not specific about Jaune.

There is a school of though that two lovers must be peers and equals. This is something that can be interpreted a number of ways.

Edit: I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it's there.

[up][up]is more than Jaune arc in volume 2 look like otaku pandering like keitaro: Phyrra who is the ace love Jaune because he is nice to her which sound too much to the wishfull fantasy "awsome women need a good men because they are lonly" it dosent help her lonly at the top feel a informed atribute.

compare with Volume 3 were Jaune was suporting protagonist to Phyrra while she was burden with great responsability, for me this was better and show what she saw in him.

Granted there is the whole "shinji syndrome" throw there which it was bound to happen in cool-obsess series like this.

Hate most probably isn't the right word. I'd call it closer to being disinterested in his character.

Jaune is the harem protagonist of a non-harem work, if that makes sense.

At the same time he is slowly growing into his own separate character that has a long way to go... but he's getting there.

dear god, Ren fangirl are going to melt with this chapter.

[up]Not surprising, he is a typical anime protagonist of noways: skinny, dosent now what to do and got a love interest for being "nice", it just rub people the wrong way.
