But anyway, they have said that Salem was one of the earliest characters they created, so... definitely planned before the Maidens thing. Like you said, No one believed you when you bought that up. People could've thought whatever during the opening narratiion. One person could think "who the fuck are you?" Another could be "Hah!, I knew the narrator was important!" Hell, the narrator could have actually been Billy Idol and people could've been going "I knew it!" Things in this show are way to open to speculation. For me I'm at a point where speculating on forums like this interest me way more than the show itself.

Someone from Team SSSN should have reminisced about that situation. That along with that Glynda line would have been enough for this twist to be staring everyone right in the face, but they didn't. It appears they didn't do it or if they did do the same thing it didn't work, because like i said, all of the Hunters chose to evacuate when the arena was being attacked. Instead of you know... fighting. Like they have trained years to do.

They might not need to but the problem is both the Maidens and the Relics are presented as being equal in importance. We are introduced to the Maidens first (even though they weren't thought up first.) and even seen one of them. But the relics were what the story was originally supposed to be about, and are what there plan relies on the most. And even though they are more important they can't help but seem thrown in at the last minute. Plus Salem's group (excluding Salem herself, because I don't know if she is even human) only have 2 female members. So at best they can only capture half of the Maidens powers. Unless their plan is to keep killing them over and over again, so nobody can use them. I think the word you are looking for is "Magic" That is what the Maidens have an unlimited amount of.

Yeah, I said before they probably teach them each fighting style of each weapon and let them combine them. To me that would be the most likely scenario. My point was using two different weapons (or potentially more than two) is going to feel different than using them seperately. You can design your sword so the projectile comes out of the blade like Weiss' sword. Or so it comes out of the front like Blake's sword. Using a sword and using a gun is going to feel way different than than using a gunsword built in a unique way. And I don't get how teachers are supposed to teach past that point. Also don't forget about some of the more unconventional weapons on the show that don't have a fighting style like Coco's purse, Velvet's camera, etc.

-

I am just saying it seems like a lot of fluffwork and bueracracy (plus sparring with robots/humans) Plus Jaune can easily fake his way in, and aside from Cardin potentially telling anyone he dosen't seem to be in any danger of being expelled. Four years is an awfully long waste if some idiot can just fake his way in and nobody will be any wiser.

-

Oooohhh... Sometimes I can be so forgetful. But anyway, Yeah Europeans (especially the French) have a well deserved reputation of being hardcore perverts. Like look at the current French President, he is married to a woman who is 24 years older than him, because she was his high school drama club teacher when they started their relationship, he was 15 at the time.

-

Wwwwhhhhaaa...? So they are really speaking a language that us in the real world don't know? But the computer is translating it to languages that we do actually know? But the computer is doing it wrong and it is translating it into multiple different languages that some know but not others. But Weiss' name isn't even a real word in there own language? It just sounds like a real word in that language? Just what?... That is some hardcore reaching buddy.

Oh,  so its a tradition. Then wouldn't that mean if someone didn't name there kid after a color then they would be mocked at school or an embarassment to their family or something? And, wait a minute, Why would Mistral team up with Atlas to ban art and stuff? I thought they were the kingdom that created everything "that made the world pretty and tolerable" It dosen't make sense that the kingdom known thru out the world for there contributions to art would join a movement to silence free expression. Yeah, I know they were allies at the time, but that seems like a dealbreaker if your whole kingdom is known for it. Granted the World of Remnant never does say if Mistral liked art and stuff before, so I don't really get what is going on there.

I thought Pyrrha refered to Pyrrhic, i.e. when a victory has to great of a cost to be considered worthwhile. That is what makes sense since she died and activated Ruby's silver eyed powers to win the Battle for Beacon. When I first checked the wiki it said his name meant Port as in door and not Port as in red wine. Also, Peter as stone, really? Stones can be any color (Kind of like how Rubiss are stones that are red, and Emeralds are stones that are green.) Same thing with Velvet it can be any color. (although having a last name like Scarletina makes the name thing a non-issue) It seems to be that anything that IS a color works for the name rule. That narrows down the list of names people can have to EVERY SINGLE THING ON EARTH. Also, Glynda Goodwitch, James Ironwood, Bartholomew Ooblelck, and Taiyang Xiao Long have nothing to do with color. (Taiyang is a point on the temple where you would stick a needle during acupuncture, and Oobleck only means green if you read Dr. Suess which, like Weiss' name, dosen't exist on their world.)

Technically it can make the situation much worse, much better or fail to change it at all. Semblances are unique remember, it can be literally anything. In order to find out you must take the number of people in a city and multiply it by the infinite amound of potential semblances, raise it to the amount of panic that is currently happening. Then add the constant at which panic increases in Remnant and you will get some number that roughly describes how bad any grimm invasion is against noobs who are unexpierinced with Aura will be. Maybe, who knows?

-

If semblances are triggered by negative emotions than God only knows how humans managed to use them in the beginning without attracting Grimm. (Grimm are attracted to negative emotions, mind you.) That period of learning how to use your own semblance when nobody is around to tell you must be a nightmare.

-

Agreed, but just KNOW that they are going to do something that contradicts it. Maybe on purpose, maybe on accident, but it will definetly happen.

-

Oh, that is what you were talking about. So her sword strikes were just Aura projections or something. Watching the scene over, that clone didn't really have any clone or recoul like effects though. The fire one exploded and sent Torchwick into the air, the ice one froze his cane in place, and the rock one stood in front of his shot. If this was a gravity clone Roman's cane should have been thrown back from the effect instead of going all the way through, or Blake should have been pushed farther back. But that one acts just like Blake's normal clones, only difference being that the clone you pictured fizzles a bit, with no real gravity effect.

-

If so then why would anyone use gravity bullets, when other bullets can also boost jumps as well as do damage. I mean have we ever actually seen anyone get hit by a gravity bullet? Would it even hurt or just throw someone back? (I still think it would be cool if Gravity bullets created little black holes.)

-

Word. Why couldn't they just be in the World of Remnant on Dust?

-

Hey, you can't going around and give to much information in one place. Remember what J. J. Abrams says. "Sometimes myster is more important than knowledge."

Why are there so many important things in the manga? Uh... the awnser is obvious: make more money because the audience has to buy everything to understand it.

-

That does sound like it would be better. From what I know the reason Weiss messed up her room is so that everything won't be perfect like how her father wants everything about her to be. That is also the reason her ponytail is off to one side. So it won't be perfect and therefore piss off her dad. What I would have liked is was after she did all the things you said: thought about her dad, summoned the knight, broke the window, etc. She summioned the Nevermore she helped Ruby kill and fly out of there to freedom. Instead she just... does nothing... and tries to escape with Klien. Tthen... why? Why did she even break the window in the first place?

-

Oh God... that is where the LGBT character idea came from. I don't really partake in shipping but I am imaginig a huge war amongst multiple shippers about which gay pairing would be canon broke out. Honestly though, I didn't care about any of the straight romance (Juane and Pyrrha being the only exception.) why would I care about gay romance? This show hasn't really had anything to do with romance anyways. Also I find it funny about how in this show gays, women, different races, etc. are treated as equals but the faunus, the one group that dosen't exist in real life, they are the ones who get discriminated against. I just find that weird. I'm just hoping they handle the gay relationships better than Legend of Korra did. Hell, the fewer similarities between any show and the Legend of Korra the better.

The obvious reason as to why they didn't awnser your guys important questions on what's going on and how things worse is simple. NO SPOILER QUESTIONS.

Yeah, that whole killing the characters in Sword Art Online if they take off their headset... I heard that point got completely nullified in episode 14, so there is no real interesting thing about the show anymore. I think. Like I said I haven't said, I haven't watched it, so this is just what I heard from people hating on it. Also, pointless timeskipping? Sword Art Online might have more in common with RWBY than I thought.

Attack on Titan... I actually liked it. Even though I originally thought the premise was stupid, and everyone (even the human characters) faces looked  ...off for some reason. The world they made was really bleak and convincing. It had alot of epic moments, and still managed to not take itself overly serious, and have some funny bits in it. That last thing is really hard to do.

WhatI don't like about Attack on Titan is, like RWBY, THERE ARE TOO MANY CHARACTERS! Fortunately though they actually kill some of them off, unlike RWBY. Unfortunatly, Unlike RWBY they actually try and flesh out their red shirt characters before killing them off in the exact same arc. It gets predictable real quick. The main cast are good if a bit one-note and cliche, they do something different with their archetypes to make them kind of interesting.

Adressing Ark, to me it makes sense as to why the characters seem untouchable, they are fighting huge ass kaiju zombies. It is kind of a touch and go scenario. It seems unlikely you can face a titan and come out a little dinged up as opposed to being bitten in half. (Plus it is implied it takes a whole team to kill one titan and people who can kill multiple titans by themselves are incredibly rare, once one person begins to die everything will start to go to shit.) Not every show has to be Game of Thrones. Also the Female Titan arc, I think that only FEELS longer due to the fact that identity of the female titan (one of the most important parts to that arc) is so piss-blisteringly obvious it drags the whole arc down.

-

What I think happened during the initiaion is: Miles and Kerry come to the conclusion that the characters running away is the most logical option. But then Monty and Shane get mad because this is an action show and running away would dissolve the tension, so they do a complete 180 and fight the Grimm. To me it was one of those "to many chefs in the kitchen" scenarios that was a big problem in the earlier episodes.

-

That was a stupid idea on Ozpin. Imagine if Ozpin was like that to all rules. Makes sense as to why he was fired from providing security at the tournament. (Because that beat didn't come out of nowhere.) What I think should have happened is they should have had more trained Hunters secretly tailing Oobleck and RWBY so they can see what Team RWBY is really capable of and jump in if things go bad.

-

Yeah, they were alright. None of it got bought up in the show which was irksome. But the new ones didn't piss me off as much as the old ones on Dust and Grimm did.
