User blog:Varzan Deodinm Beldinm/Mount Glenn: Well...

Another episode, another belated blog to get everyone talking about it. You all know the drill.

So I'll start off by saying that this episode suprised me with both explicit violence and implicit violence. When I'm talking explicit, it's not that Grimm are getting blown apart, but rather we see a defenseless Ruby get punched in the face, on,y to get kicked semi-unconscious by a White Fang grunt. Well if they wanted to prove they have no quarrel with harming such an innocent, adorable girl, they succeeded. Don't get me wrong I've seen worse, but to see such a display in such a PG show kinda made me widen my eyes a bit.

Now for the implicit violence. Mount. Glenn: A giant tomb due to a combination of carelessness, helplessness, desperation, and hopelessness. Just the way Oobleck described it was memorable in and of itself considering the guy breathes and exhales history and is known for his passion for it. A tomb... overtaken by the baddies who are (BIG SHOCKER) planning an attack (IT WAS PROBABLY CINDER) or are simply gathering strength for what is to come(GRIMMPOCALYPSE OR CINDEROCALYPSE, YOUR CHOICE).

Going backwards now, I like the bit of depth that Yang, Weiss, Blake, and even Ironwood are given at the start. The way Weiss mentioned how her father is gonna ruin the family name gives us more reason to be wary of him when we inevitably meet Pappa Schnee. Blake seems still shaken up by Adams murderous nature, but we've seen before that she may still care for him based off her notebook drawings. Yang is easy-going with an easy-going motive, but at least she knows that it probably won't be enough.

And regardless of whether Ironwood may become a villain or obstacle in the future, I'm sure we can at least agree that he believes in what he's doing is for the greater good. I don't blame him considering how annoying cryptic types like Ozpin can be sometimes. Anyone else think Glynda might be his ex-girlfriend or something? I get that vibe.

So, yeah. Decent episode even if not too much transpired. Do you think I'm overreacting to the whole explicit and implicit violence? Do you think the character development is going at a smooth pace?
