User blog comment:Hidden Scorpius XI/My impressions on "Menagerie" (V4-E5)/@comment-4010415-20161205023024

1. "Cramped" Well, not only are there a lot of people around, the buildings are clustered pretty close together, like they're trying to get as much use out of the land as possible (which, to be fair, they are, since they're only using 1/3 of the island). So, Sun could've been talking about the smaller amount of walk room in the merchant area and the houses that're clustered together.

Also, to be fair, in a lot of shots, there was a denser background character population than we've seen in Vale, at the Vytal Festival (minus the audience seats), and that small village from The Next Step. In Vale, we mostly saw a few people walking along the sidewalks. I think the most crowded we've seen an area in Vale was in A Minor Hiccup when a crowd gathered to watch Ironwood's presentation of the new robots that Atlas was working on.

2. The exposition about Menagerie... Actually, HSXI, I was happy that Blake explained that because, in WoR: Faunus, all Qrow said about it was that some considered a slap in the face but didn't explain WHY. Blake, meanwhile, explained WHY. That, and not everyone is gonna watch the WoR videos, especially if they see the volume in theaters as a movie.

3. There are background Faunus whose tail clips through their skirt/shirt too.

4. To be fair, Blake could've been lying to Ozpin about having to learn how to fight to survive outside the kingdoms. She was trying to hide from him that she used to be in the White Fang, and he was trying to get her to admit to it.
