TV RWBY

[kkck]

He's planting the seeds for Volume 6, they'll germinate in fall

The team has some really good dynamics, but that's literally it. Also, Nora is actually in my top 10 for the show But remove her from the team and it loses the flair. Compare that to Team RWBY where individually they manage to remain interesting, and together they're:

Btw, am I the only one who wants to know more about Coco and Velvet's team? I genuinely find those two endearing characters and they make a really good team together, plus their Semblances are freaking awesome

Wait, werent you the one who said that Raven only wanted to protect the tribe? Meaning every action she takes is geared towards that. She gets the Relic>More power> She can protect the tribe better and prevent something like Vernal's death happening again since its painfully obvious she cares a lot about the tribe + her own daughter.
Also, I think the only episode that was truly bad was episode 13, and it wasn't even all bad. It was just the Adam stuff that got rushed, then fixed again in episode 14. Truthfully we spent too much time in Menagerie to be able to focus on the Adam side of things aside from what happened in the beginning when he killed that woman (?), so the end became a mini train wreck. But the highs of this season are still enough for me to rank it as the best one:
-Weiss being kidnapped by Raven
-Yang and Weiss reuniting/ Talking to Raven and learning a little more about Ozpin's 'dark past'
-Cinder's meeting with Raven (Along with Watts and Emerald)
-Weiss's fake death (Yall thought she was gone People legit threatened to drop the show )
-Raven being revealed as the Spring Maiden
-Cinder vs Raven
-Blake and Sun vs Ilya

Then get Mary Poppin'd out of the show again

Ah, I have wanted to see velvet for a while. She used to be our resident bunny girl. And then she gets one cool fight and gets thrown into oblivion.... I don't care about coco though. I don't buy her being "cool" TBH, not even with a machine gun.

Yeah, did say she wanted to protect the tribe. Though considering the current episode I have revised my opinion on that. Raven doesn't give two shits about her tribe either. That said, I have made the point that raven is a pathetic coward. With this episode we simply got evidence of how much, to the point where she doesn't care about her tribe. Her main motivation is selfish self preservation, she is a coward incapable of fighting for what she believes is.

Why do you want neo with adam lol? Let neo do stuff on her own. Going from following roman to following adam is a huge downgrade. THE STRAWBERRY CHOCOLATE GODDESS WILL RULE THE UNDERWORLD ON HER OWN!!!1!

Yeah, I really hope they haven't been thrown into the pit of irrelevance, only person who belongs there rightfully is Neptune That scene where Velvet fights off all those Mechas is actually in my top 10 fights of the series. I know they weren't human opponents, but that freaking soundtrack. OML:

No words, just......perfection.
Also, I went a page back and saw your point about removing the Relic from the Vault. LMAO You actually have a pretty good point, but I assumed that the reason they took it out of there is because Emerald, Hazel and Mercury now know where the relic is. And they would go back and report to Salem, which would mean that she would have to come for it at herself at one point. So changing its hiding position seems the safest position for now.
That, or combining all the 4 Relics together is the key to beating Salem.
And Neo is our resident prison warden Iirc she was the one who freed Roman from jail in Volume 3, right? Not to mention she seems the type of person to team up with anyone as long as they offered world destruction and something different. Which would be Adam
I just miss her so much

I honestly thought sun would have contacted neptune by now TBH. He is from mistral right?

And you say volume 3 is overhyped

The issue with that is simple: They already knew where the relic was. In fact, salem would have known the relic's exact location from the second leonardo became a traitor. The issue was to begin with the missing maiden. If salem could get the relic by herself then she would have gone to get it already. With leonardo it would have been so easy.... To a large extent all relics' locations are already known to salem. They are beneath the academies or at worst near them.

And if combining the relics could beat salem... why haven't they done that? Ozpin has had access to each and every relic for the past.... centuries.

 

[Vici]

Heroes taking Relic is a reasonable decision because that way they taking away a target mark from Haven ( it's still in danger but not as much ) this make RWBY a target no one else.

-Weiss's fake death (Yall thought she was gone People legit threatened to drop the show )

Show me where I've made such claims?

I dare you

I will try to answer everything later so busy now

r combining all the 4 Relics together is the key to beating Salem.

If that was the case Ozpin would get rid of Salem quite a time ago ( Maybe he can't use Relics by Himself ) considering that he's the one that builds Vaults etc.

Ozpin still have many things that he keep for himself remember the line from Salem theme I have shared with you " Maidens and Kingdoms wrapped in lies " << So he keep something even from someone who is as important as Maiden but judging how Qrow treat Spring Maiden as an item and Watts saying that they are only means for the end they may be less important in the end then they seem.

Interesting I can't track End Song ( new Blake theme... Still she shares it.. ) but it's basically exactly opposite to some lines in Salem Theme ( from Faunus perspective ) I will wait for a lyrics before analysing

Yeah, but he ended up being useless af
What do you mean? Neo's best moments are from Volume 2 In Volume 3 she turned into Mary Poppins
Also, Volume 3 is good honestly, I really adore it, but you have to admit some scenes weren't up to par. I feel as if the biggest reason people say Volume 3 is the best is because of Pyrrha's death (Which was good, make no mistake), but are we going to overlook all those fodder fights in the Volume? The tournament was good, but for the most part Team RWBY were relegated to fighting those robots plus White Fang members + Grimm. This volume I feel flowed better as far as the action was concerned.
Wait, crap. You have a good point about Salem Is there a chance the Relics could be a misdirect? Like this isn't her real goal? Taht or shes just suffering from the usual villain CIS

Yeah but, you know, it's kinda his home. It's sort of logical he would appear. Once sun got to mistral he should have been easy to contact using scrolls. I guess everyone, reasonably, forgot about neptune.

The volume 3 thing was in regards to velvet, not neopolitan. Neo's best moments are definitely in volume 2.

And yet, we had an episode of weiss and yang vs the trumpet guy and skates girl. That was an excellent fight.

As for the relics... I am inclined to thinking they are the real deal. Rather than misdirection to me it seems like using them probably has some non specific risk attached to it. And given how each relic is hidden it seems like ozpin didn't want anyone using them, not only salem.

Haven was already a target just as much as any other school and that had been the case since the academies were founded. No information has been leaked and the spring maiden is a competent fighter. The only reason to take the relic would be to hide it elsewhere however I still can't fathom a place safer than an academy. Since it has a magic vault that can only be opened by a maiden. The only real vulnerability the haven academy has would be basically raven. but given the circumstances I am not sure it made sense to take the relic in that moment.

I am thinking that the key here what "defeating" salem implies. Raven and leo, once loyal to ozpin, see salem as actually invincible and they also seem to be under the delusion that there is such a thing as escaping salem. Or getting out of the war.

You wanted to drop the show because Blake wasn't about to show up for the Volume 5 finale
Hahaha take your time, the finale isn't going anywhere

If that was the case Ozpin would get rid of Salem quite a time ago ( Maybe he can't use Relics by Himself ) considering that he's the one that builds Vaults etc.

Or he tried and failed? Salem is the one who made the Maiden Eyes (presumably, you guys theorized that once, I'm rolling with that theory ), so chances of her countering it again? That or Ozpin hesitated and didn't go through it, so he's using others since he can't do it himself.

Yep, I agree the tournament was excellent. ,My main issue was what happened afterwards in regards to the main characters.
Actually, the stuff with Blake-Yang-Adam was pretty solid, Ill backtrack a little there But Volume 3 is still a tad overblown by the fandom

So it wise to leave a Relic and make innocent civilians probably being targeted again?

Plus Ozpin was rambling something ( probably about Relic I can't hear one word exactly ) to get it to the Atlas so he may still have more secrets about them.. << plus the Relics will be safer will the heroes at least in that case you can protect them < Sure you can lose them in a fight but at least you have chance of defending them + you almost have no factor that someone will betray you ( Leo )

For me, it makes sense to take them this way Salem will come to them not someone innocent also when we look at fact that 4 of them will play an important part later in the story ( Maybe even separate we know about them as much as the moon tbh ).

Ozpin is the one that created Maidens?? I was on the boat that it was created by Salem but since my theory that SE works mainly against Grimms comes true it's unlikely ( Who would create something that is useful against you bar Atlas military )

Again? Salem aims to crush humanity as a whole, as far as we know they are targets regardless. And the case remains that if the relic remained within the academy vault then the only way for salem to get it would be to get the winter maiden. And unless there is a serious information leak then salem doesn't know the identity of the spring maiden. And I still don't see how the relic is something that can be guarded just like that. The only defense the relic has right now is a sole huntsman (qrow) and a bunch of students along with a not yet matured ozpin. And because yang showed up holding the relic like a trophy salem knows the relic was taken out of the vault.

Silver Eyes. Woosh
I thought one thing and typed another

 

[Vici]

So we have to agree to disagree on that matter for me taking the relic especially that they gonna need them later makes perfect sense much more than let's go to Atlas and hope that Salem won't track Raven and destroy Haven that is defenceless ( Because it's still is )

And can someone for god sake take Vernal out of the Vault and give her a proper burial

 

[Elusia]

After all this time, I returned to this thread with a review (wow, it's been a long while. Sorry for much delay )
And now that volume 5 is done, here's my thoughts to it overall:

Spoiler

Man, was that disappointing as hell

Seriously, it may have surpassed my least favorite volume, which is 4, but they still need a lot of work to do, especially in the fight scenes. I think the only good fight in this was Raven vs Cinder. The rest were either too slow, decent or bad. I hate to admit it but Vol 4 had better fight scenes than this. The plot is way better than 4 though and it is satisfying enough to the viewers, even if the climax was anti-climatic.

Most of the plot twists in the show are either confirming theories or bad. The biggest one is obviously Raven being the maiden but I already know that Vernal isn't the maiden from the moment she "uses" her magic as her eyes wasn't glowing unlike Cinder or Raven. Just didn't know who... or how she has "it".

From the character's perspective, they are pretty okay. The cool thing here for me is the interactions between Ozpin and Oscar and how they share one body (this sounds so wrong ).... I just hope that Ruby will get her development soon. It's been so long and yet she doesn't have a leading "arc"
And of course Yang is the highlight for me in the season, along with Blake.

Overall, while it is disappointing to me, I find myself a bit satisfied with this volume. It isn't perfect but it's enjoyable.

Also, pretty dope ending song.

@Emperor Spriggan did you notice we find out Blake landing strategy finally in previous episode when she jumps down...

I look forward to it
Also, I just realized something about Atlas. Is anyone here actually looking forward to meeting Whitley again?
Compared to Blake's family, a good majority of Weiss's family is unlikeable bar Winter. I'm not sure how Id feel about the relic being in the Schnee household (It's the obvious direction but thinking on it, I just realized that would be a letdown). It's practically handing the relic there on a silver platter to the protagonists. I'd be more impressed if Watts already has stolen that relic and the volume is based on tracking him down and getting the relic back.
Klein is going to die as well, a death a volume makes a RWBY a day

Relic's are hidden in Academies I doubt that Schnee family would share a building with Academy

James could move the relic tbh we don't know that..

I doubt Watts have stolen the Relic he was going to return to Salem after episode 9 and work on new Tail pretty obvious that bad guys in next Volume are Watts + Tyrian and someone else...

a good majority of Weiss's family is unlikeable bar Winter.

The only thing that I missed in this Volume was Winter Beating shit out of her father after she finds out about Weiss

 

[Elusia]

Here's my current ranking of rwby volumes:
1. Volume 2
An amazing volume with great fight scenes and character development. Also, Neo.
2. Volume 3
This volume is loved and it's understandable. While the first half is not as great as the second half, it is a pretty good volume.
3. Volume 1
It's a good start that manages to sway the viewers with its fight scenes. It was a bit cheesy at some parts but it is still decent.
4. Volume 5
Disappointing yet enjoyable. While it has the worst fight scenes I've seen so far, it is okay in terms of plot and characters.
5. Volume 4
A piece of trash
Okay on a serious note, it is a bad volume with messing story arcs, bad fights (there are exceptions) and felt like an info dump rather than a volume worth of episodes.

 

[Hermit]

While the first half is not as great as the second half, it is a pretty good volume.

@kkck ^My point exactly

To be honest, I am one of those people who are looking forward seeing Whitley, not because he's a good character but I want to see more of him other than being a total jerk to his sister. But I shouldn't get my hopes up.... RWBY with their guy characters....
