User blog comment:MiniDaggers/RWBY Volume 4 Commentary Summary/@comment-25936766-20170623001241

1-"Cinder, not only is she not the ultimate bad in this series, she's one of four. Essentially. Um, she, she's on her own little team of evil."

....Wait. Tyrian, Watts, Hazel, Salem, Cinder. There's 5 people, but only 4 "ultimate bads"? Dammit with this lack of regard for semantics. "She's not the ultimate bad, she's one of 4", meaning she's one of the 4 "ultimate bads".

Either it leaves out Salem as The/A "Ultimate Bad", or someone within Team WTCH is not "Ebil".

2-"The Petra Gigas was originally intended to premiere in RWBY Volume 1 during the Emerald Forest trials."

.................Such a beautifully-wasted oportunity. We didn't get a Ghost-Golem. Yet Ghost-Armor was already a thing.

3-"Corsac and Fennec were, were Volume 1 baddies."

.........................What.

4-"This was uh, a Petra Gigas, uh the, the Armored Knight was an Arma Gigas, um I think we had some others..."

...Oh no, I was correct. The Knight is called Weapon Giant.

5-"So Jacques Gelè is uh, is loosely inspired off, uh, loosely inspired by, uh, Jack Frost"

....Mmmm....interesting.....then why did they go with Jacques instead of a name that's actually related to Jack?

6-"She very much has different ways of dealing with all of her lieutenants. Like, the way she will discuss things with Tyrian is, is radically different to the way she will discuss things with Cinder."

Feels like playing an RPG or a Dating Sim, where instead of being honest, some players only say the kind of shit that will boost their friendship/loyalty/love the most.

7-"Yeah, he's like "Well red and blue make purple." "

.....Figured that was the case. When X and Y are both dominant, both can show up at the same time, giving a phenotype that seems like a combination of both. White Rose + Red Rose = Pink Rose.

Then again, it's the only way that it made sense. Otherwise, where did the purple eyes come from? Her never-mentioned great grandmother?

8-"Mistral, and the Mistral region are very heavily, uh, heavily Eastern inspired. That's kinda been, one of the ideas from, from day one is y'know, Eastern meets Steampunk kinda idea"

Okay, this proves 2 interesting things:

First, that the City of Mistral, the Kingdom of Mistral, and the Region of Mistral...all are called Mistral. Not confusing in the slightest.

Second, that Mistral is a Steampunk Chinkoreapan.

....How ecological is Steampunk technology though? ....And why go Steampunk when they have Dust? It can't be "it only LOOKS Steampunk", because it's not Steampunk without Steam. And why use Steam Dust instead of Lightning or Fire?

9-"Well it's great because the fans look up that stuff and, and I, I really love that they do. It's, it's uh, a blessing and a curse. Uh, because then when we don't mean for something to mean something and they assume that it does..."

Mmm....I wonder where that has been the case. Maybe with Oniyuri? Higanbana?

Probably Higanbana. The only death-related thing that happened there was whatever Tyrian did to the waitress. Maybe they were aiming for another meaning.

10-"...so usually we, we like to do our research"
