a military man effectively telling the richest guy in his kingdom "F*** off man, I own 1 more council member than you"... effectively reduces their verbal sparring to discussing trading cards in a game... I'd like to think council members are more independent than that, and if they were that fickle, the rich guy would pull a Kaiba and own 3. You would be surprised of how stubborn and fanatical people can be about politics.

Agreed, Ironwood likely enjoys a few differing technicalities in his current position... He is probably the only one to attain two seats and has done so due to convergent skill-sets...

Wouldn't anyone who graduates from Atlas Academy and joins the Specialist have the possibility to achieve the same at some point of their career? Or do you think Ironwood started the whole think of actively recruiting academy graduates into the military?

Maybe, but you know what they say about the road to Hell.

Mama Schnee drinking in the middle of the day isn't exactly an indicator of her being happy or emotionally stable. For some reason she is not happy, but it isn't really a look of sadness or anger. She looks cold and drained emotionally. That is the not the face of someone who is even sort of getting what she wants out of life and more that of someone who has lost hope.

Maybe she suffers from depression or another mental illness?

It could be interesting if maybe Mama Schnee is meant to be some form of foil for Taiyang in the emotional department.
