User blog:Hidden Scorpius XI/My impressions on "Schnee Dust Company" (WoR, V4-E7)

Alright, after Last Week's Cliffhanger, many people are excited to see how's it going to resolve, right?

LOL, Sorry. The cReWBY is milking everything they can out of this cliffhanger. This week, we have a WoR regarding the History of the SDC. So, are we going to learn infuriating new stuff, or hear the same infuriating old stuff? Let's find out.

Well, Qrow just summed up everything we've been shown about the SDC in one rant: Most of the Company (Jacques) only cares about the profit, and has a complete disregard for people's lives. Stuff we already knew. However, we do learn something about the conception of the company: Young Nicholas Schnee (Totally based on Santa Claus (Saint Nick)) son of a dust-miner born at the start of an industrial revolution, dedicated his life to become a huntsman, yet he was also a hard worker and a bookworm to booth. He set off to find a Dust deposit that could help sustain his kingdom, and succeeded, and then went off to do the same everywhere in Remnant, overlooking every expedition. He became someone dependable, and people associated Schnee with Trust and Reliability.

However, Ol' Nick was forced to retire early, and so enters Jacques, who had married Nick's daughter. He conviced Nick that he was the best candidate to run the company after his passing, and so made him his heir. And just like every corporal inheritation drama you've eveer heard, New CEO threw the company's foundations out of the window right after he got into the job, doing everything that we've been told (rather than shown, might I add) and earned some of Remnant's (and most of the FNDM's) spite.

Okay, I'll be frank, the backstory is as generic as it gets. Bad person hunts for the CEO Job of a multi-succesful company, and eventually gets it, becoming a corrupt entepreneur. We've seen that so many times it is boring. It's like the "Liar Reveal" or the "Love Triangle." We all know why and what and how it is going to pan out and... I'm sorry, but that is not interesting.

Sure, Ol' Nick was kind of a badass, but that's the only exciting thing I got from this WoR. The rest was boring.
