Talk:Summer Rose/@comment-28171999-20180724133445/@comment-25936766-20181010202437

I read the transcript of that episode, and this is what Yang said:

"Our parents were Huntsmen. Our dad taught at Signal, and our mom took on missions around the kingdom. Her name was Summer Rose, and she was, like... Super-Mom: Baker of cookies and slayer of giant monsters. And then... one day she left for a mission and never came back. It was tough. Ruby was really torn up, but... I think she was still too young to really get what was going on, y'know? 

That, says literally nothing about even taking her job seriously or wanting to protect her family (not saying she didn't, just that you're seeing America in a cup of water). So where are you pulling that shit? Again, all we know is that she was a good mother, and killed Grimm.

And that's before including the fact that Yang was like 3 years old when she died, and we can't expect everyone to remember too well things that far back in their lives.

Even if we took your own words to heart, you're still stretching things out to fit your image of Summer, especially when both can be seen in an alternative light.

>Took her job seriously: Yang and Ruby were less than 5 years old when she died. And they live in the middle of a forest with Grimm. Tai was busy being a teacher. Then, when did Summer get the time to go on Huntsman missions? Who took care of the kids while she was gone, Qrow the Bad Luck Charm that keeps his distance so a meteor doesn't crush them out of nowhere?

For all we know Summer didn't try too much to actually raise them herself, satisfied with just being there, being nice and making food for them. For all we know Summer cared more about fighting Grimm than taking care of the family, even if she still cared for them.

>Wanted to protect her daughters: For all we know, she doesn't share the same sentiment towards people she doesn't know or care about. For all we know, Summer was a "I don't care about saving the world, I just want to protect my family" kind of person.

And finally, regarding Ruby's speech: it was a generic and cheap "friendship is awesome" speech. It means nothing, considering SALEM HERSELF has talked about how awesome unity and teamwork is and how "nothing is impossible" with the Power of Friendship.
