3. But they're not exactly being stereotyped...

3.1. like how Maria had gun sickles.

5. Yeah, I wasn't expecting San Francisco. It's beautiful, though.

5.1. Makes me wonder what Atlas itself looks like.

5.2. Though, come to think of it, steel walls aren't exactly the best for a cold environment. Metal takes in temperature too easily, to the point where metal itself can feel worse than ice when you touch it during freezing weather.

5.3. And recall that the outside of the Schnee manor didn't look metal either. Military bases may be different, but residential and shop buildings are unlikely to be steel.

6. I know, right?!

7. I heard her say "Terra Cotta" just fine.....

9. If you look closely at the streets, you'll see that there's a dip in the middle of each street. I think that dip keeps the tram from drifting off somewhere else. Also, there's an easy-to-miss purple glow underneath the tram. 10. Except in vitro fertilization is a thing.... 1) True. Doesn't make it any more fun to watch though.

3) Ruby the SEW "Grimm Reaper" who fights Grimm with her deadly gunscythe. Maria the SEW Grimm Reaper who fights Grimm with her deadly gunkamas.

In-universe it's more or less a coincidence, sure. Ruby just based it off Qrow's which just happened to be inspired by Maria's. But it still sets an idea of SEWs being Grimm Reapers with scythes and all. With Summer I guess third time would be the charm (or combo breaker).

3.1) Kamas. They are kamas. Sickles are more curved, kamas are the ones that look identical to scythes in shape, just much smaller.

5) I wonder how often it gets hit by earthquakes...

5.1) Personally I hope it's something like in Mirror's Edge, where everything looks so white and polished that it's perfect to the point of feeling alien and uncanny. It goes perfectly in line with the high class too.

5.2) They can always use some Dust to keep it warm. Or maybe not even that, since I don't see the practical need for keeping such a wall warm, especially when it's the cold what helped keep Grimm away from Mantle.

Plus people can always just use shoes and gloves if they really want to touch it. And Atlas loves to use robots for guarding stuff, and I doubt Robots will complain much (and being made in Atlas I assume they are by design cold-resistant).

5.3) I wasn't expecting the houses and shops to be metallic though (beyond foundation, of course). Just the wall.

6) Speaking of those movies, sans Coming Soon which is just Gen:Lock, don't you get the feeling that "Monster of the Deep" foreshadows some big Leviathan/Bahamut-esque Grimm?

7) ....I'm starting to have a feeling you Unitedstatians just have weird-ass pronounciations for things that aren't natively part of english.

9) I didn't notice any dips. Even less any purple glow as it floated around. At best I noticed some lines on the ground that look like tramway tracks, but with the tram floating above them, well, it leads to the questions I made earlier.

10) .........................................I legit forgot that was a thing.
