RWBY Thread III: Time To Say Goodbye

Stop: So gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
so gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
We get a lot of reports from this thread. A lot of it is just a series of people yelling at each other over arguments that have been rehashed hundreds of times since the end of the recent Volume. And I get that the last Volume - and RWBY in general, really - has some controversial moments that people will want to discuss, argue about, debate, etc.

That's fine. We're not going to stop people from doing that, because that's literally what the point of the thread is. However, there's just a point where it gets to be a bit too much, and arguments about whether or not Ironwood was morally justified in his actions in the recent Volume, or if RWBY and her team were in the right for withholding information from Ironwood out of distrust, or whatever flavor of argument of the day descend into insulting other posters, expressing a demeaning attitude towards other's opinions, and just being overall unpleasant. That tends to happen a lot in this thread. We want it to stop happening in this thread.

So! As of now the thread is in a higher state of moderation. What that means is that any future infractions will result in a weeklong boot from the thread, and repeated offenders will likely be permanently removed. So please, everyone endeavor to actually respect the other's arguments, and even if you strongly disagree with them please stay civil and mindful when it comes to responding to others.

In addition, users should refrain from talking about off-site users in the thread. Bear in mind that this does not mean that you cannot continue to post tumblr posts, for example, that add onto the discussion in the thread, with the caveat that it's related to RWBY of course. But any objections to offsite users in the thread should be handled via PM, or they'll be treated as thread violations and infracted as such.

I feel like there's a connection between this new girl and Neo, especially since she's a shadow for a big part of the intro and they seem to switch between them a couple times. She also apparently came from the same beach Ruby did. Is she part of Neo that split off because of how weird this place is or something?

I think she might be the girl talking at the start, which does rule out Neo in many ways.

Edit: Although, oddly enough, she does kind of look like what I'd expect Pietros biological daughter to look like, but that might just be Nuts N' Dolts talking.

Could also be the smith we see in the trailer
 
I did find it rather interesting that Weiss wasn't trying to hide what happened to Penny she just wanted to make sure everyone was there first because she couldn't emotionally handle saying more than once.
 
a thought on Neo
what if at the end of the volume she goes out like General Zhao at the end of Book 1 of Avatar?
Like everything is going to shit around them (in part because Neo did a thing) and now RWBYJN are running for it.
At the end things crumble and Neo is hanging on a ledge, and Ruby is holding out her hand.
"Come on, Neo! Take my hand!"
*Neo looks at her and then with one hand holding tight to the bowler hat she lets go with the other hand and falls while looking right at Ruby (maybe even giving the finger in following fanarts) and a final FU to Ruby*

Gives her too much credit and another chance to hurt people for my liking.
 
Hey so uh, the animation on this critter is funky fresh freaky.

I do like that the show clearly realized that it was both on a time limit and had already done both the time scattered and the team broken up into groups. It didn't rush them getting back together but it made did sprint to it.

Also I also like how they're trying to figure things out instead of just wandering around confused. Like it's clear they've given things some thought they just are so out of their depth that they can't do much more than broad theories. Though Yang thinking she's legit dead does make her reunion with the rest of the team rather (though briefly) horrifying.
Mhm well said there, CRWBY aren't prone to waste time if they can help it, hence rarely repeating exposition, and they generally try and put the emphasis where it will be most integral. IE missing everyone else's reunion hug so Blake tackle hugging Yang has full impact. Part of me would have liked a little more wandering around, but that's more of a "I enjoy that kind of vibe" thing as opposed to a "Quality" thing.
 
Yang, body language and grief.

My heart! Can we talk about how absolutely defeated Yang looks here? How she's just been fighting this weird thing like it's the norm for her, like it's another normal Tuesday. And maybe it is. May…
 
these all fall under "spoiler"
I am putting them in a box to minimize post size

Like Father, Like Daughter
Would Yang in V4 also count?

they left space for her
:(

cinnamon rolls just want to help, but when that is taken away they crack

that is a literal slit second screen grab


EDIT:
I am surprised that
no one here has brought up Weiss' funny groan of frustration/annoyance when the vines she just cut grew back

found one with a screen shot

So, an interesting and nice detail some people have noticed.

When Ruby comes to after fainting, she's been out in the recovery position. That's actually kind of rare in media, so it's wonderful to see.
