    I like how in ep.6 they immediately shoot down the heroic cliche of "why doesn't everyone know?/ everyone should know!/ the people deserve to know!" With basically a "Been there. Done that. Didn't work."
    Finally logic wins in the emotional reveal of secret knowledge!

    *INTRODUCING*
    - Ciel Soleil
    - Flynt Coal (Achievement Hunter joke)
    - Neon Katt (Nyan Cat)
    - Marcus Black (Ares/Mars)
    - Amber
    *WEAPONS*
    - Flynt's trumpet (trumpet + blowgun)
    - Neon's nunchaku (nunchaku + glowsticks + Dust)
    - Amber's staff (staff + Dust)
    - Mercury's Talaria (UPDATE) (prosthetic legs + shotguns)
    *SEMBLANCES*
    - Flynt's Killer Quartet (summons three copies that mimic his actions)
    - Emerald's Hallucinations (distorts a target's senses with an illusion of whatever Emerald can think of)
    *MY COMMENTS*
    - The joke in Winter's sarcastic line is that Kara Eberle (Weiss's VA) started off as Rooster Teeth's receptionist.
    - Team FNKI may look like jokes (since they are themed after internet memes), but they do exhibit the kind of militant genius that's expected from Atlesian students - Flynt provides focused fire to wall off Weiss, while Neon uses psychological warfare on Yang (i.e. rampant taunting) to throw her off.
    - Note how Flynt deactivated his Killer Quartet Semblance after checking his Aura reading on the big screen. In general, Semblances cost some degree of Aura to utilize. Sometimes, it's best to wait on the Semblance until you catch enough of a breather.
    - Personally, I keep comparing Maidens and Dust to the sorceresses and para-magic of Final Fantasy 8. It's especially apt when you consider that Maidens' power is passed on to successors when they die, much like with sorceresses.
    (As a reminder, Maiden magic isn't restricted to any specific elements. Some individual Maidens just have their preferences, like Cinder with fire.)
    - Hey, remember the end of Volume 2, when Adam was fine with all the White Fang members that were lost in the train incident? Goes to show how...pliable his standards were all along.
    - Volume 3 is the first time we get to see Aura breaking (on characters like Mercury and Amber). What's interesting is, in Amber's case, she can still use magic even after her Aura broke - telling us that magic is a separate power source from the more common power of Aura.
    - It's very briefly on-screen, but Cinder's face was distorted in Qrow's view, thanks to Emerald's Semblance - that's why even he couldn't recognize her.

    • @davidkoudelka10
      @davidkoudelka10 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      -Wow, Winter’s joke is SO MUCH funnier now.😂
      -It took me far too long to realize using semblances uses aura as well.😅
      -I haven’t played Final Fantasy and have only watched a bit of someone’s playthrough, but that sounds pretty interesting as a concept!
      -Adam fans: He’s supposed to be an antihero!
      Adam: *Is willing to blow up a train full of innocent people, didn’t care about the dozens of soldiers he lost, dated a teenager while he was six years (correct me if I’m wrong) older than her, is racist towards humans*

    You know, it’s interesting, when we see Pyrrha in the elevator with the teachers, for the first time they seem actually shifty and untrustworthy. Pyrrha looks so small and scared by comparison.🥺
    In case anyone is interested, the song used in the Mercury/Emerald vs Coco/Yatsuhashi fight is called “I’m the One”. Gives more perspective into them too.
    The Yang vs Neon fight also has a jazz remix of “This will be the Day” and “I Burn”, along with Neon’s theme, “Neon”.
    And when the episode first aired as a teen, I was genuinely surprised they would actually make a “top heavy joke”!😳

    (Heath Ledger voice) "And here. We. Go!"
    At the time people were giving RWBY a ton of shit for how dark it "suddenly" went, calling it "betraying Monty's vision" and all that shit. But I absolutely LOVED it. They weren't afraid of going to all the dark places the soundtrack had alluded to all the time. They built a world constantly hovering at the brink of total collapse the entire time, from the very beginning - the happy magical schoolgirl image was just the facade they started out with, so they could pull it out from under our feet, and I love them for it. It was all properly telegraphed too.

    BTS fact for this batch:
    JNPR fought SSSN in their doubles match, with Pyrrha and Nora beating Sun and Neptune. Fight was cut for time/budget but I think Monty had some choreo done.
    When you later see the line up of finalists, Sun is there. Since him losing was cut from the show, it was cheaper to just put him in the line up rather than make up another person.
    Volume 4 spoilers ahead so stop reading if you're following with Alicia (they're on 5 on the Patreon), but there's more semblance foreshadowing here too; Ruby and Yang can't beat Qrow at video games.
    Finally, alluding to Volume 7 spoilers; Hmmm, I wonder who taught Ironwood how to attach your Aura onto something else guys?

When you strip all that away though, they are genuinely good people, and the people they annoy sometimes eventually become their friends.🐈 🕷️

Start with the Horse and the Infant, and simply choose either the unanimated song, or just the animation of your choice (no wrong answers), just do not start with the most popular songs, because it's a series that so many people accidentally started at a little after the halfway point

Most Kingdoms have a council of 3 to 4 people, which includes the headmaster of the Academy. The ONLY ones that have been mentioned that know about the shadow war are Ozpin, Qrow, Goodwitch, Ironwood, and the Headmasters of Mistral and Vacuo.

    Not to disparage these seasons, but without Monty's flourishs the movement of the characters feel a lot more technical, like there's more emphasis on "realism" then style now, making the actions feel more sluggish when compared to the first volumes.

    Say Alicia, after you guys have finished reacting to all of RWBY, would you be interested in reacting to a popular RWBY fan-series here on youtube called "Fixing RWBY"? It's written by Celtic Phoenix in collaboration with a team of volunteer fanartists called The Sketchy Huntsmen, and it's both a critical analysis and a fanfiction AU, rewriting each volume of the series based on various little changes and ideas that Celtic thinks would improve the series. So far he's rewritten the series up to volume 6, with the Sketchy Huntsmen providing fanart visuals for the new story from volume 3 onwards, and most recently Celtic and the Huntsmen remade his rewrite of volume 1(during the first two volumes of his rewrite he made the visuals himself with editing software, and didn't have any artists at the time to volunteer their work).
    If you're ever interested in seeing an alternative take on the series, I definitely recommend it! There's a lot of care and thought put into this fan series, and the visuals the Sketchy Huntsmen provide are stunning! Plus it might help tide you over during this rather uncertain time post-volume 9 of RWBY, where no one knows if or when more RWBY will come out. ;u;

    -Mild Spoilers Ahead-
    I can’t get over just how big of a letdown magic was in Rwby. For it being built up so much, the payoff feels so lackluster and mediocre with how little the actual powers seem to do. Hell, Salem, currently the strongest character in the series was STILL reduced to ash by small nuke and is only around because of her immortality.
    They honestly should have focused way more on Semblances and their ability to grow with their user. It was LITERALLY the perfect literary device to show a character’s personal growth in the way that they used a superpower which is meant to EMBODY them, we literally could’ve gotten One Piece style awakenings but nah, half-baked magic system 💀

      You may want to put warnings before you type these out just in case anyone here hasn’t seen the full series.
      And regarding your statement, respectfully, that’s the thing: Semblances AREN’T true magic. And forgive me if I am misinterpreting what you said, but say that Salem was “STILL reduced to ash by a small nuke” is a bit much don’t you think? Salem is immortal, not invincible, and there are things that even magic cannot prevent.

      @@davidkoudelka10 Fair enough, I’ll edit a warning into it in a second.
      Also, I wasn’t referring to Semblances as a magic system, I was referring to the magic itself as a separate power being underwhelming and half-baked.
      And to be frank, no I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch at all. Magic itself has been built up as this end-all be-all in terms of raw power within the show, and it’s failed to live up to that. Magic couldn’t prevent Ozpin’s cane going off (which we know was similar in power to the Nuke that Ironwood was going to use based on his reaction to the explosion), but it was actually Elm’s SEMBLANCE that was capable of containing the full force of the nuke’s explosion, a character who is FAR weaker than Salem on every level.
      Sure, you can argue magic has its limits, but when some weak aura-construct semblance has been shown to far surpass magic’s supposed superiority, then I consider magic to be a major letdown, doubly so when the magic-wielding character in question is the literal final boss.
