User blog:Hidden Scorpius XI/My impressions on "Menagerie" (V4-E5)

Oh, so this chapter is Titled "Menagerie" to make up for the fact that the latest WoR episode (which broke the Location-Name streak it had going on) isn't named after a location. How clever of them.~

Anyways, onto with the impressions, for anyone who cares at this point. This chapter felt... shorter, somehow. And that ending is upsetting.
 * Well, that seems like an impractically long dock-bridge. Why can't the boat just draw nearer?
 * Oh look! A multitud of Faunus and they did take the chance to throw in examples of non-mammal Faunus! Why couldn't we have this before they had to tell us?
 * ... Forget it. Everything reptile Faunus sum up to is having scales on their cheeks and eyebrows. How unique.~
 * To be fair, Menagerie is very picturesque. I'd love to visit.
 * "Is it always so cramped?" ... well, the streets are fairly empty, compared to the harbor. Sigh why can't they keep an eye with dialogue-dissonances? It's getting aggravating.
 * HEY! Did you know? You can convey background information through in-show dialogue! It is called EXPOSITION!
 * SERIOUSLY! Didn't we learn the Menagerie story from the WoR?! WHY REPEAT THE SAME THING TWICE!!! It's a waste of time and budget! Very smart.~
 * Sun's tail clips through his belt... And no, I don't think they had the forsight to imply he just cuts a nook on the belt just for that.
 * So... Blake is daughter of the chieftain... Then how THE FUCK was she FREAKING born within the White Fang?
 * "That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it..."
 * Why, Merry? Why do you care so little about continuity?
 * And for that matter, what dangers would she had to have faced to learn how to become a fighter in a quiet, tropical village, where her chieftain father would have most likely kept her from facing?
 * Okay, I'll be perfectly honest here, that reunion was adorable.
 * Aaaaaaaaand Sun sticks a foot in his mouth. That's no way to make an impression with the in-laws, dude.
 * I find this hilarious: Blake's dad thinks he knows what's going on, and he disaproves. While Blake's mom actually knows what's going on, and she aproves.
 * Spittake WHAT?!
 * promptly takes back the continuity-drift complains.
 * ​Okay, so apparently, the White Fang isn't completely nuts, and it's just Adam's little posse which has gone terrorists...
 * These two don't inspire any trust in me. I think it's the zealousness.
 * Aaaand all that stuff as a bunch of bologne. Dammit.
 * ... STRANGER DANGER! I NEED AN ADULT!
