-Nothing more than it being quite reasonable that a machine keeping someone alive would have emergency functions capable of resuscitating said person.

-The critics make it seem a lot more complicated than it would be in reality. Every point up to her being revived would be relatively straightforward and even as they focus more on trying to argue that she couldn't escape, there are so many potential avenues of escape that there really is no reason to insist it is impossible or that it would be hard to explain.

-To be fair, it is hard to get more OP than being able to turn a dragon to stone just by looking with your special eyes. As long as the result isn't being stronger than Ruby it is good. Being stronger than Cinder or at least equal with her would also be an advantage. That would be a character who could credibly take down Cinder without having one of the mains become a Maiden nor undermining the power of the Maidens.

-The issue is not whether I am merely speculating, of course that is what I am doing as that is all any of us are doing in this thread, but certain people are trying to make the above seem completely impossible based off nothing at all other than their own speculation. -Which is a baseless, far-fetched assumption. Just because something is designed to keep a person alive, it doesn't mean it will have the capability of reviving a dead person. Look at it like this: Imagine Amber is a heart, a failing heart. The machine would make said heart work at the normal, healthy rate, but if the heart is injured or worse, then there's nothing it can do.

-It's not the "potential ways to escape", it's the chances being too unbelievable. She escapes by air, she has to face hordes of Griffons and Nevermores. She escapes on land, she would need to sneak past a whole army of Grimm on air and ground. She runs towards the forest, she can easily get ambushed by any smart Grimm. She runs towards the lake, the possibility of a ship remaining there would be an assumption. If there's an airship, Amber knowing how to drive one well enough to escape it's an assumption. Asking for help is impossible due to fallen communications. Sending a signal would be suicide with that many Grimm.

The only way I can find a believable way for her to escape, is if a badass-enough Hunter was nearby for whatever reason and rescued her. And that in itself is just as difficult to believe.

-I think what Mini was trying to say is, that if Amber is revived in any way, it would take precious screentime that this show already lacks. I mean, for Vol.4 and 5, we already have: 1) RNJR's journey and after, 2) Blake, 3) Yang emoing on Patch, 4) Weiss and the SDC, 5) The situation in Vale, 6) The current political situation, 7) Whatever Salem is doing, and many other possible side-plots added to the mix. Then we add Amber's revival and resulting dilemma.

Which would end up in 1 of 2 ways: She gets too much screentime that takes away from more important plots, or she gets too little screentime and her plot ends up as wasted potential.

-And yet you are trying to prove it's completely possible by using nothing but your own speculation. Again, such hipocresy.
