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.

So they short end would be shotguns and the long machine guns?
I am not an expert but I have used tonfas the quick jabs combined with a shotgun would be really effective and the spinning strike where you roll the Long part out to strike could be used as a sweeping firing.

Thinking on it I would make it shotgun only since it makes it more controllable since I know there is grapple moves where you grab the Long spar and use the handle plus the short spar to twist and lock joints.
It would also be cool if the spinning strikes are how the shotgun gets reloaded where the strike is designed to hit and engage the breach ejecting the shell.

Yeah. That was just me badly saying "either a machine pistol or a shotgun". But that's how I imagine it would work as well.
 
I say Nora and Ren both survive and nope out after it's all done. While boop-ing each other all the way.
 
Just a reminder, RTX 2016 tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10 am CST, so if you want to punch Miles and Kerry in the face, get them ASAP.
 
Dang it there goes any hope.....this sucks.

EDIT
I want Jaune to take up Pyrrha's shield now.

What are people's thoughts on Taiyang and Crow's interaction?

I went back and rewatched the scene (around 13:10) and they didn't exactly look like they liked each other very much. Tai shot Crow a very sarcastic response when the latter asked to speak to Ruby privately and when Tai left, he looked angry. Maybe I'm projecting a bit due to poor animation quality, but I definitely got a passive-aggressive vibe the second time I watched it.

Given how they were talking when Ruby was asleep I think Tai was just annoyed Qrow was shuffling him out of the room for some secret talk with his recently come awoken daughter rather than it being a constant case of anger between them but that's just my take.

While I don't think Taiyang hates Qrow the whole scene made me think, I don't know, like their relationship isn't entirely an easy one. Which wouldn't really be surprising given their shared history probably include Raven's abandonment and Summer's death.

Not to mention Taiyang is a single parent who probably did most of the rearing of his daughters entirely on his own. Where Ruby and Yang see their cool uncle Taiyang probably see's an abrasive high functioning alcoholic.

It is interesting too that Ruby seems to be the niece Qrow holds the most affinity with despite the fact that they aren't related by blood.

Although if he was close to Summer, looking out for her kid would make sense.

There is a reason the theories of Ruby actually being Qrow's and/or Qrow was in love with Summer exist.
 
I have a question how far in advance do they make the seasons?
Like are they making season 4 right now or is it mostly done and they are just doing the finishing polish to it?

I've entertained that idea as well given that Yang somehow inherited blonde hair while Ruby has her mom's black with red highlights going on. Then again, Remnant genetics, how the fuck do they work?

It could be that Taiyang adopted Ruby when he and Summer were married. Given Qrow's temperament, the man may have convinced himself that he'd be a horrendous father.

And an uncle, thank to distance, can hide their grief a heck of a lot better than a father. So Ruby and Yang would have no reason to ever suspect how much Summer's death hurt him.

Pet theory. With Ozpin missing and the world's defense against Salem in tatters Qrow finally gets off the sauce and starts, sort of, taking a leadership role.

That's certainly possible, though by the same token its a stressful situation and we only saw them exchange a few words so its hard to really gauge their relationship.

I'm pretty sure Monty confirmed Ruby and Yang were half siblings so even if Qrow was in love with Summer I doubt anything came of it.
 
They have the outline and plans for a lot of seasons, but they haven't started production on season 4 yet.
The reason why I was wondering is because I was reading Jen's tweets which 100% make it sound like Pyrrha is dead for good and was reading some comments on RT's board that maybe she lied.
Now to be clear I personally dont believe jen was lying.
But she did say Monty wanted her to voice other characters later and I know she voiced Lisa but that was a small role. For a large role we the audience would most likely notice them reusing the same VA unless it was a family member.
So i was wondering if maybe a sister or her mother might be in Jen's future.
Currently Jen says she has no offers which was why I was asking how advance they make them.

Now its possible Kerry and Miles will change Pyrrha's fate....I am not holding out hope at this point I am just stating it is possible after all look at Roman.

Well Torchwick got a stay of execution since he was so popular maybe Pyrrha will get a resurrection of sorts due to fan demand, well unless they decide to stick to there guns and keep her dead like Burai in Zyurangers after his death.

Yeah exactly I am not holding out hope on that now...:cry:
but we might get Pyrrha's sister or family to fill in since they are going to Haven which is in Mistral where Pyrrha was from.

It that happens I dont envy Jaune especially if she is like Pyrrha that would wreck him.
