Talk:Salem/@comment-23892177-20180925184256

I have a nagging feeling that the whole Relics thing and the academy attacks coming at a time when Ruby Rose happens to get involved is too much of a contrived coincidence, so I suspect it probably is. Also Ozpin is sketchy as fuck, c'mon.

It makes more sense in my head to think the war between Salem and Ozpin is basically a tragedy born from neither one able to actually move forward (hence the theme) and try literally anything else (I have a feeling Beacon falling has happened plenty of times before), and that Ruby or RWBY saves the world by way of believing in humanity's capacity to take any direction and somehow translate it into going forward.

No wheel moves without something giving it the energy to turn, after all.
