@Ark: Cinder seems worse on paper with all she's done. But Raven abandoned her kid. Kills and steals from the downtrodden and weak. And abandoned her team when they need her. And puts a middle finger in the air when her own brother tries to remind her that the shit's hitting the fan and her daughter lost an arm. Cinder is worse, but something tells me by the end of this show, I think Raven will catch up to her is cruelty and selfishness.

On the subject of Inuyasha. Legit anime/manga, if you nix the filler. Final Act was on point finale wise. Same with the last 10 chapters of the manga. Turns out Naraku has compassion and emotionals he's trying to supress the whole time. As love stories go. I can't complain. Also, I love Scott Pilgrim. I'd read all the comics if I had more time at work and they'd stop wrapping them in plastic.

@WC83: Morally gray characters aren't bad, but they can end up being overestimated. I don't think every story needs a person so hell bent on doing their own thing and suriving that they blow off the world. Same with Ironwood. Closing his doors will start problem in and outside his nation. No doubt it'll look like Atlas is blowing off the whole world to fend for it's self. I don't like with lots of problems are just piled on top of each other and none of them get really solved even when the story ends. I seen some shows do that. Create drama and problems and trouble in paradise scenes and then just end. And they say "Welp, not everything get wrapped up in a cute little bow, grow up nerd!" But when i hear that I sometimes wonder if the real answer isn't "When painted ourselves into a corner with plots and forgot some or abandoned them for time. So let's find a way to spin it to make it sound like it was all legit planned out."

I've tried Souls games and Bloodborne I actually beat with some help. I like dark stories and epic tales. But being depressed and being shown nightmare fuel isn't fun. Most of the time you only lose in those games because you lack freedom of controls. Imagine if Dark Soul 3 and a battle system like KH2? Would you be losing so much if you could move faster, dodge quicker?

@Spirited: I'm not a Zelda fan. I'm more of a Xenosaga kinda guy. All though Link is cool. I would never want them to homage Zelda anymore than I want them to copy or ref any other anime. I strongly believe the reason they don't want people to know where the story is headed is because it's not heading anywhere new. It's the same story likely fused with elements of other stories in popular anime or games. Not that they're bad writers. But more like they "love the classics" too much. Right down to the sex drive ignoring lead (only time Ruby isn't hints at sex is in Chibi RWBY once).

Here's how I expect the last season to be. The adults are dead or some reason has been fabricated to make them incapable of doing anything at all so all their hopes rest of team RWBY and Jaune. Salem has been winning for years and most of the allies are dead or crippled. All of her fellow villains are alive and well except Adam and Tyrian. They watch on Salem's castle. Lose. Get separated and chased. Jaune sacrifices himself revealing his semblance during the last couple of episode and a Jesus ref is made as he dies. Salem is finally seen as the female embodiment of Lucifer. BS emotion driven activation of Silver Eyes powers and Ruby suddenly knows how to fully use them now with her mind focused on just stopping Salem. She beats Salem as her allies all get double knocks as they fight the other villains. And when Salem fall Cinder saves her and basically begs for Salem to be spared because she loves her like a mother or whatever. And Ruby spares them as a ref to anime heroes trial of being able to always forgive someone and show mercy no matter how much evil they've done. The world goes back to status quo with Grimm all over and nothing being solved. Salem and Cinder escape and no one know if they're still doing evil. And last scene is Ruby saving NPCs that are made to look like the workers at RT (author insert). Roll credit. Post credit scene a discard Crescent Rose and a rose growing beside it. Then the interview the writers say "We wanted to always let the fan intepret the ending. Like we love the fans so much this is their show. So make the ending you love!" Translation: "We moved on and decided to just end the show and didn't want to cover all our bases and explain all the plot and solve all the problems. Cue new project."
