User blog comment:Waters Knight/Weiss killed 'herself' in the White Trailer/@comment-15802374-20131214053632

Wow, reading that about Weiss on the Wiki here and seeing the picture, then re-watching the 'White' trailer and confirming for myself that this image is real has blown my mind. It took me playing the video on slow on my video player and trying to pause it three or four times to see and get the image, but when I did I took a screen shot of it and it's just as clear as this picture here, so this is for real.

As for theories about why this image is there, I can think of a couple, one technical and one not technical. One, it could be some sort of glitch that happened when they were making the trailer, an after-image or something such as that for example like you would get with the old style cameras and film if two pictures were taken on the same frame. Doesn't happen as much now with modern cameras. However, knowing how Monty and the rest of the Rooster Teeth crew have been with this series, this is most likely completely intentional.

Now for the theory about Weiss herself. People have been worrying about Weiss' mental health over this. Now, it is quite possible that Weiss is unstable, but I haven't really seen anything in the series with her character to support this yet. If it is her fighting herself in her mind, it could be completely intentional. There are meditation techniques and other such healthy practices to induce such a state as to fight yourself to overcome certain obstacles and obstructions in your mind or personality to shed the unwanted version of you or unwanted habits/practices that you might have and want to get rid of. Perhaps this is what Weiss is doing, and perhaps it might be part of her training?

The other theory that I had was simply that Weiss was just seeing the reflection of herself in the Knight's armor before she was about to deal the finishing blow, but as the pose of her real self and the pose of her reflected self are different, then this is most likely not possible.

Anyways, good catch to the person who first saw this, as I would never have thought to even look for something like this in the trailer, and some interesting theories as to why it is there.
