Oh...that is not what I thought you meant with that. That theory that the Grimm beetle thing would make Cinder more vulnerable  to the Silver Eyed Powers than being a Maiden would make sense. Except that it appears that Cinder is blind in one eye and mostly mute now. Does that mean that she has Grimm charms in her mouth and eye as well?

Yeah, So for right now I am still sticking to the theory that the writers had no idea with what to do with Yang at that time.

She wouldn't have HAD to use her semblance if she didn't just "magic" up to the top floor. Also how could she manage to grab onto one of Penny's swords when it looks like she just jumped out of the stands without touching the arena where her swords were in the first place?

The barrier the Nevermore broke thru appears to only cover the top of the arena. It dosen't look like it is the same one that protects the people from getting hurt by the fight in the arena.Maybe there is a smaller one just around the arena that protects the audience? that makes the most sense to me. Around 3:32 in the Battle of Beacon you can see the arena where the fighting takes place is much smaller than then the overall circumfrence of the entire rest of the stadium. So it would probably take less power to have the one the Nevermore is on, plus the one that protects the crowd.But if that was the case then the Nevermore should have broken thru it and landed on the second one. Another theory is that maybe, just maybe, Juane managed to get thru because the force field was blinking and therefore not functioning. But, again it is just a theory, it was probably just an oversight.

Maybe they should make it lke your average 30 minute, 15 or even 11 minute cartoon episode. I mean it is already like one with 12 minute episodes, airing every other week . I don't really see why they have to make :"seasons" which are only 12 episodes though. Other than to make the series more like a cartoon show.

True. She does seem to care about her grades an awful lot. We never really see her working hard or even being good in combat though..The first thing she does in the Minor Hiccup episode is absent-mindedly listen to Port's lecture while watching the clock wanting to leave. That dosen't seem like a thing a person would do if said person cared about their grades. Plus, she can't kill a bunch of Beowulfs by herself, carelessly shakes her jars of ammunition, while at the same time knowing how volatile it is, I've seen her slash with her rapier despite the blade being a cylinder with no sharp edge, she also apperently can't tell her lefts from her rights. :"Right foot forward" Moves left foot. LOL, She dosen't really seem intelligent for someone who wants good grades. Also in the episode where they are playing Risk she does exactly what Yang (her enemy in the games) tells her to do, which destroys her whole army. Not exactly someone who I would want leading me. Plus if she really was mad at Ruby for being childish, then the scene where she saves Ruby from the Death Stalker should have had Weiss chastise her because she did just do excatly what she said not to do a while ago. Plus she acts childish herself in Volume 2 (balancing on chairs, making jokes after fighting, baby talking Zwei, etc.) Also it was more of an internal monologue than a soliloqouy. Soliloqouys is when a charaacter is talking out loud to themselves while alone.

You would think she would have begun to imply Port's talk to the Faunus though. Like she would have softened up to them even a little bit before that confrontation with Blake. If she didn't really like the Faunus as the show implies, you think she would mumble something under her breath like "meh, she deserved it" upon seeing Velvet get bullied. That would show a small hint of her distrust of Faunus. But instead she seems at least neutral towards Velvet's situation and dosen't being up her mistrust of Faunus until Sun shows up. If anyone would be an undercover Whtie Fang member it would be Sun, and he would be trying to gather intel on Blake so they can plan a trap to punish her for deserting. This is going to be given by how much he stalks and creeps on her. Anyway, I seems that  maybe Weiss just applied the lesson to Velvet just a little bit after het talk with Port and then abandoned it because her old thought patterns were still intact.

Waiting around dosen't really seem like something they would do. I mean the episode is called The Stray, you think they would have put up some posters,called the authorities, asked some other students where Blake might be etc. Why would they cut past a whole lot of time Ruby, Weiss, and Yang spent doing nothing? Was it really just another pointless time skip? Why didn't they get right into searching? The trail might have gone cold and they wouldn't be able to find Blake anymore. You think that Ruby and Co. would have mentioned doing something in the past 36 hours so we wouldn't have to speculate.

Sigh. heh heh. Yeah, if only,

That makes sense idealisticallt\y. But a more realistic option would be to train at home like she has already been doing. Then when she inherits the company after her dad's passing or retirement or whatever.she could strive to improve the company and its public image while her father won't be able to have a damn say in the matter. Then haveing a kid of her own so she can give the company to it, because otherwise SHE would be the end of her company's name.The way the show was set up I thought you became a Hunter for life given as to how they begin training when they are still kids. Before I had no idea she could just stop and take the company back, even though she really didn't seem to want the company. (Also revealing information like that outside of the show is never a good idea) The way she went at it made it seem like she was just trying to run away from her company's shame and make her own career. Also the whole being a Hunter thing helped cause Jacques to mistrust in her to grow until eventually giving her heiress rights to Whitley, If she just played along with her dad she could have took the company right from under his nose and fixed it without him getting in her way.

It would make more sense for the kids parents to explain to them how the tournament worked. Since it apperently happens often, and everyone across the world knows about it, and tunes into it like its the Superbowl. They also apperently teach about the tournament in schools, so that is another reason tho why Port and Oobleck's dialog is worthless. Plus this was apperently the most exciting round in the tournament so far (and, I mean of course it is, the episode is called Round One. So it would be the most exciting by default. Unless they were refering to Port s he is kind of fat, so maybe he is the Round one) so the TV cutting away from it so Port and Oobleck can explain how the tournament works would make for bad TV in their world, since it is apperently a live broadcast.

Yeah. Or they could have done my idea, Weiss could have froze both of them. Then Yang and her could have double teamed them into oblivion.

Yeah it was a bad idea. A REALLY BAD IDEA. The writing classes they went to should have a math course as a pre-requisite.

They should have just done the long, epic journey that the end of Volume 3 promised us it would do. With them going on missions and leaning new things about Salem and her plan. Because it seems they would have just been picking at ruins the whole volume if Tyrian didn't show up to move things along.

It is not really a good thing to settle into a pattern when it comes to stories. It gets predictable after a while.

Kind of sucked that  Winter didn't really end up playing much of a part though. I mean we have known Whitley for less time and he is already more relevant. With him being the new heir and all that. Winter not showing up once in volume 4 dosen't help the matter. I liked how they used firendly fire on Nora to make her stronger, they could have done that with Yang to actually. Or when we first find out about Nora's semblence she could have picked up the guys cattle prod and used it on herself until she became unstoppable. Also more people got cut, and a few almost died so that means the fight scenes have more bite now.

There was also that weird dream Ruby had about Pyrrha. That seemed important. (They better not ressurect her, or I swear I'll...) Juane being "strategic" is basically him ordering everyone to use techniques they were already using, and stealing jokes from Dragonball Z abridged. "We hit it! Harder!" RWBY. ""I swear if  you say hit him harder, I will hit YOU in the dick!" Dragonball Z abridged.

I just believe they cut out all of the boring parts where Yang was being angsty and skipped right to the result. They probably should have left more angst in there.

In addition to Ozpin's line, in the A Much Needed Talk episode, Ruby also said Maidens don't ned Dust to use magic. So by those lines we can conclude that the characters semblance, aura, ammunition, Cinder's dust clothes are all magic, because they can all be used together. Hopefully that isn't how Monty, or Miles and Kerry view magic in this show. Because then it would just be like E99 in Singularity, or ADAM in Bioshock: all purpose plothole filler. How are people being mutated into grotesgue forms and travelling thru time? Because E99. Why can Elanor communicate with Delta thru telepathy? Because ADAM. Why are Maidens so important, even though Cinder and Pyrrha can fight them both head on? Because Magic! Said while doing some jazz hands. Also, No. Semblance dosen't use Aura as fuel. During Flynt's fight he uses his semblance when his aura is at 16 and dosen't immeadiately get eliminated. Since you lose when you aura reaches 15 or lower.

That is weird because Ozpin apperently knows who Salem is, as well as her allies. (He knew who Hazel was when Oscar boarded the train,) And he should have told Qrow, Glynda and the like. Also Qrow says "The Queen Has Pawns" Was he refering to Salem's lackies or Cinder's lackies?Since Salem's lackies are more important you think he would be refering to them. (Cough unless they were just bullshit characters added at the last minute Cough) Yeah, but you said the tactic of accusing people of colluding with her would be a thing Salem could do, or influence people into doing. As a sort of countermeasure to the kingdoms letting the truth out about her. I was the one who bought up random people doing it for personal gain.

I am still going with my idea of the characters age being what it is so people can guiltlessly draw erotic art about them. And said art will attract al sorts of people to the show. I mean look at Legend of Korra. Badly written plot and characters (and I mean absolutely HORRIBLE HORRIBLE plot and characters, worse than Avatar and even RWBY.) but the characters were older, people drew more porn of them, and the rest is history..

What I am trying to say is if the Nevermores can start out tiny why can't the other Grimm creatures start tiny? We still don't know if the goo pits are portals of some sort that can open and close and therefore be impossible to locate. Oobleck was basically playing the vauge as fuck game. He dosen't really know, the World of Remnant on Grimm dosen't really know, "Studies leave more questions than awnsers." And the characters who do know just don't tell us or they tell us conflicting information.

Ok. MAybe you are right about that. It sure was convinent though that James decided to keep Roman on the brig in his ship, with the computer on it that controlled the robots. If he was just put in a regular prison on the ground then he wouldn't have been able to infect the robots, and they couldn't blame the attack on Atlas. But wait, wasn't James piloting a different ship when his robots turned on him? I remember him turning his back and saying "No!" before the robots attacked him. So does any old Atlas ship have a terminal on it that can be hacked into in order to gain control of a robot army?If so that is incredibly bad security design.

What? So Atlas jsut gives people more power based on how many jobs they have at once? That is dumb. What if someone got a job as a tax accountant, banker, doctor, lawyer, butcher, baker, candlestick maker, elephant seal, and janitor all at once? They could be like Supreme Emperor of Atlas at that point. It is just asking for corruption.

What would really help instead of doing long meetings would be to maybe NOT give the characters so many new abilities. Like Nora's grenade launcher can now... uh... fart pink stuff? I guess? And Juane's sword is now... a bigger sword. How much are you willing to bet that we are not gonna see them use these abilities again for a long time? And they were just added specifically for the scene and will be totally forgotten about. After all "Any simple problem can be made worse if enough meetings are held to discuss it" That was on some de-motivational poster I swa once.

Woof, you got that right. My favorite part was when they zoom in on Blake's face and she is just... completely unterrified. Like if she was screaming I imagine she would sound an awful lot like the big, purple guy in th Fry Cook Games episode of Spongebob. Also whenever a character looks towards the camera, their nose disappears. Also Sun's abs are gone. That is one of the worst travestys since Pyrrha died.
