User blog:Gundam Legilis/Mountain Glenn In Depth - The writing

Hello!

We start off with Ironwood worrying... again. Thank God Goodwitch is there to shut him up, otherwise, we'd be beating off a dead horse with Ironwood and his trust issues.

Weiss, Blake, and Yang get some more character development. While I finally understand why Weiss thinks it's a good idea to be a Huntress before a CEO, I just think they should clearly state that. That, and admitting that she needs experience on how to run the SDC as a CEO would help. We finally get some more Adam alright, but it's just Blake talking about him. I'm hoping that at least Adam will have a short fight in the series, because I and many others don't want to feel cheated when Monty said that Adam will come back pretty strong this time, but it turns out to be people mentioning Adam in the volume.

I like the Semblance metaphor that they used with Blake with the "running away" thing. I also like how there is an AOT thing going on, where humanity must be protected at all costs. But the thing is, can they handle the pressure?

I also like how they made Zwei useful, and Ruby not OP by making her useless without her weapon. And thanks to Oobleck's exposition, we learn more about Mountain Glenn and its history. Based on this(I don't need to repeat myself again), and the bombs in Roman's cave, I can speculate that they will use the train and the bombs to blow up Vale's barriers, and get the subterranean Grimm to rampage into Vale. Now look, I personally haven't seen the spoilers that somebody reported at the NYCC Panel, but if it just happens to be, then it just shows how smart we are, or how predictable the writing is, though it happens less often compared to last volume.

Stay tuned for next time, where we talk about the acting.

Thoughts?
