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.

The Volume 7 soundtrack is coming out July 31. Lots of different merchandise on the way too. And skip to 33:27 to see a teaser clip from Volume 8. It is HYPE!

Seriously, this is making me really exited for the possibility that Volume 7 will have some Final Fantasy 7 style badass bike chase scenes. 😍







I'd love to see some Grimm vs Bikes scenes in particular. 😄

Makes me wonder where
The others are. I feel like Ruby, Nora, and penny would be helping defend against the invasion while Blake, Weiss, Pietro, and Maria are helping the HH break Qrow and Robyn out of jail.
 
Perhaps they split up to find Oscar?

I'd have gone with keeping him separate for most the season, but it's hard to tell the state of things from a 30-second clip, so wait and see I suppose.

From what I hear
They reunite with the ol farm boi pretty early in the volume, so I'd say this clip is from episode 1 or 2.

Also I don't get why
People are so desperate for Oscar screen time with him away from the rest of the group.

Mostly as a means to give him a bit more development, which I've stated before that I find to be a bit of a weakness in the show. His separation was a bit violent, so I'm surprised it's that early in the volume. Obviously we'll have to wait and see.

But the best way to explore and develop a character is to have another for them to bounce off of.

Well technically he has Ozpin for that. I'm neutral on him reuniting with the team early, I mostly was hoping he'd team up with whatever locals were in the mines and drag out some drama from people not knowing where he is ETC, but who knows what their plan is so I'll wait before complaining.

The MCU gave Spider-Man a A.I suit specifically so he would have someone to talk to because Spidey's normal habit of sneaking around by himself while thinking/talking about his feelings just didn't work outside of comic books. He needed someone to discuss his thoughts and feelings with to really pop in live action.
 
My biggest question is

the sky and city looking pretty clear despite the giant whale and dark skies/cities full of Grimm. Is it a pre-production thing and that they'll add those in post or is there some deeper reason why the sky and city are the way they are?
 
Oh yeah no that's not on sun

It is totally on Sun.

Random amused thought. Salem realizes Ironwood totally abandoned a city to die horribly, puts Mantle on her 'do later' list, then focuses on Atlas.
 
On the flip side she uses Ironwood's own bullshit to turn the people of Mantle against Ironwood/Atlas and join her. Liberation from the tyranny of the floating city, plus safety from Grimm.

Hell, she could claim that it was Ironwood that turned off the heat to frame her. His treatment of Mantle has been that consistently bad it's actually plausible.
 
Blake went there to stop a terrorist attack. She was not expecting to find her teammates there. Or Mercury and Emerald. And Hazel was not expecting to get his boots in her face :)

Goomba Stomp!


This is a pretty fun take on the volume 5 finale


And to add to that, at the end she still had no idea what the fuck was going on, yet still was like "Can....can I join the group hug?"
She had noooooo idea what she was getting back into, kitty just wanted her friends back at that point.

It does make me wonder what she would have done if she didn't see RWY in the Dojo.
