RWBY Thread III: Time To Say Goodbye

    • 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.

    Okay, this is a pretty cool theory.

    That.....that is not what the episode was really implying....at all.
    Especially as far as Weiss' line went. Weiss used "we" and "us", as in all of them. She wasn't putting the blame squarely on Ruby's shoulders. Remember, the plan WASN'T just Ruby's thing. They all hammered it out together, as a group. Unlike Ironwood who was the sole planmaker, our heroes actually try to work together and hammer out ideas together.
    And Ruby's line at the end of the episode, again it was a "we" and not a "you" or "I", again meaning more than one person and if she was berating anyone with that line she was berating herself.
    If these 2 partners DO come to blows or shouting, it is not going to be because one is blaming the other.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure each of them is blaming themselves and certainly not the other person. I seriously doubt any of them are going to be blaming each other or fighting each other at any point in what their exhaustion, trauma and grief are going to put them through.
     
    Does anyone else headcanon that Raven's a complete lightweight when it comes to anything alcoholic? I don't know, I just find the image of her getting utterly plastered after less than half a shot glass to be kinda hilarious.

    Now that I think about I personally see her as using herbal or hallucinogens type drugs. Also since she lives in the wilderness those are more available.

    Now that I think about it in Remnant are their such thing as combat drugs?
     
    I'm no expert in makeup by a long shot but that lipstick color just looks clownish/garish on Weiss. To the extent that I literally can't take her seriously with that appearance.
     
    So it's the kind of crossover that's turning into a fusion if not stopped.

    Also Yang's outfit is heavily amazonian makes me wonder if they are getting DC histories as well.

    Also ruby's eyes are lavender after the change.

    The clothing shift etc is actually really worrying because while the fusion has RWBY elements (citizens getting semblances/Aura) it seems more slanted in the DC direction. Which in a way makes sense since while RWBY elements got 'ported over; this is still the DC setting so its 'world laws' take precedence. IRL example would be taking a bottle of ink and dumping it into a full bathtub. The water might get a bit darker depending on how much material was in the bottle, but you can't really call the result 'ink' anymore.

    So there's no real telling how extensively the girls might get altered/rewritten in various way before they manage to get back home. Various levels of nightmare fuel when you think about it.

    Edit:
    Found one more preview page:
    And in the last bits i seems like somebody got a Fire semblance only for it to go horribly wrong.

    And Ruby makes a good point. Considering the normal state of Gotham, every Grimm for who knows how many miles around is going to be beelining for the place.

    Yeah. While DC's got plenty of heroes that could trivialize the problems of their world...it's also got its own, much much much bigger and dangerous problems all up in there.

    I like that RWBY aren't intimidated by Batman, way too many crossovers wank him to hell by making everyone shit themselves around him or be in awe, RWBY are mostly just frustrated and in a hurry.

    Considering what they fight as part of their day-job, an Aura-less man in a bat costume isn't that scary. Yes, he is well trained and has a bunch of tricks but they probalby have to be careful not to break him in a fight. I mean consider what Yang casually did to that idiot bandit. A normal human wouldn't rag-doll/bounce like that; they'd splatter/break.

    Edit:
    Heck a better example is shown in the comic itself. From the looks of it, Batman was fighting a single Creep and it was portrayed as a dangerous opponent that he needed to take seriously etc etc.
    Compare this to RWBY where Creeps, Ursa and Beowolves are the freaking cannon fodder. Where the only hope they have to even inconvence a Huntress is to drown them in pure numbers and the team slaughters these Grimm whole-sale in a manner of seconds.

    What I find concerning is the way that DC-native Semblances seem to be universally going horribly wrong.

    None of the Semblances we've seen in regular canon are that self-destructive. Even Qrow's Semblance isn't this bad.
