Talk:Blake Belladonna/@comment-9090085-20130513073030

I like Blake; she's clever, in a meta kind of way.

Because, as my sister put it, "She's both the Beauty and the Beast", and Adam is the Beast to her Beauty.

Has your brain exploded yet? Mine hasn't.

Personaly, while the White Trailer is my favorite, I think the Black Trailer is the best so far simply beacuse it showed the world of RWBY. Before we were only seeing "pieces" of the world, with no indecation of how they fit together; Now - although Monty has said that none of the girls are enemies at the start - we can say that Blake and Weiss were on opposite "sides" before being put on a team. These two would have legitimate reasons to be antagonstic toward eachother, which to me is the main reason to watch this show: seeing a group of people with real reasons to hate eachother learn to work together. The epic sylized violence is the ice cream.

As for why she needed Adam to deal with the Spider Droid? I'm of the school of thought that there should be (a few) enemies a hero cannot defeat on his/her own, otherwise, where's the drama in the fights? We saw a hint of that in Weiss's trailer (she was injured!), and we see the logical conclusion of that here: Blake doesn't seem to have an attack that could kill the droid, and Adam would never have had the time to prepare his attack without someone to get him that time; i.e. ether of of them on thier own would have to run away/ would die against the droid.

That, and it would provide a good reason for the girls to team up.
