User blog:JadenLan/Ren' spotlight in the group shot

I know this is late. Sorry. I would just like to take a moment for this picture. This group shot is prety cool. It would be an amazing title picture. Group shots like these are always really cool. Our heroes posing for the camera. Because that's a cool thing to do. Because they can. Becasue it makes for a cool shot. (I went and checked: Red vs Blue had four group poses like this one.) Making a pose just so the audience can go: "Yea, that's epic". It serves no purpose. At least no real practical purpose. Just to hype up the audience... and to make a cool poster.

 The one in the center picture is Ren. Not Ruby, our protagonist, not Jaune, the natural leader, or Pyrrha, the best fighter, or Sun, Coco, other team leaders. The leader of this picture is Ren. Funny how changing the position of just one character can have so much weight.



























The one in the middle is Ren. This is his picture. This is his moment. The episode may not have aired on February 1st... And this may not have been posted on February 1st... heh, both are two days off...

<p style="font-weight:normal;">I can't help but remember how five months ago a similar picture left many very, very sad. (Contact playing over that scene helped with that...) Sometimes the hero doesn't get to see the ending. They will never know what they left behind. They will never know how big of a difference they made. What the people they left behind achieved thanks to them.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Everybody's talking how Monty inspired them, or what he meant to them, how he changed their lives, or what they created for him... and all I can do is post a picture. Two days late. Fuck me. Write some repetitive nonsense about how group shots look cool. An overly long, barely readable mess that could have just been shortened to "Ren being in the middle is a tribute to Monty." Man I suck.
