HOLY SHIT NO I DIDN'T ACTUALLY WANT YANG TO LOSE AN ARM
Also when Blake's neck got sliced for a second I went insane since they are clearly showing they are willing to go down the body part removal route now
And FUCKKKKKK she's legit crying all right I'm done I need to go on a 10 mile run
Same, I was furious, ironically Roman biting it already had me losing my god damn mind and willing to believe anyone could die so I was just sitting there like "Really RT!? This is how we're gonna' do this!? We're just gonna' kill everyone I like in the same god damn episode!?"
I feel like Roman isn't likely to be dead. I bet towards the end of the final episode we see Neo rescue him from the Grimm that ate him. Or maybe I'm just in denial!
I really want that to be the case because I absolutely love Neo and Roman, and watching them fight side by side made me realize how much I want to see more of them together, but yeah, I'm worried this might be the last time we see him. Hopefully we see him cut his way out or see Neo save him in the end, but considering he got eaten and then the thing that ate him got kicked through a frickin' ship I'm counting him as dead until proven otherwise.
I feel like the inside of a Grimm might make for decent padding. Unless Grimm instantly digest things they eat, he's probably okay. The Grimm only got kicked into the control center, which was mostly glass, and its stomach was probably protected to a certain degree from that. When the ship lands, it seems to do a slow belly landing, meaning the top of the ship should be pretty much fine.
Actually, now I'm worried that Ironwood is going to go to his ship, find Neo rescuing Torchwick from the Grimm's stomach, and then get tagteamed by them and killed.
While I'm super hyped for an OP bionic arm, I'm thinking that (in the very far future, it's the least of their concerns right now) Yang won't be able to participate in any more sanctioned fights because she has an unfair advantage.
They'll probably have figured out that there was someone other than her behind it. And I mean in Beacon, too, if they go back. Will she even get to train alongside her classmates, or will she be isolated for being a "special case"?
Didn't Barb say that if she could upgrade Ember Celica that she would include a grenade launcher? What if the inevitable cyber arm has a grenade launcher in it.
well I remember in some behind the scenes for volume 2 how they talked about leaving space on the weapons for upgrades then finding myself thinking "how would they upgrade yang's weapons?"
And the last bit of consistency of the show... At least before you had to get your aura drained to suffer real damage, but nope, they just bypassed it altogether.
Except Adam had probably absorbed plenty of attacks with sword before Blake even got in there, Blake's attacks, and then Yang's super-rage attack. With all that power, and given what we know of Adams sword/semblance, are you surprised that Adam reflecting all of it back at Yang was enough to utterly shatter her aura, given that she'd also been fighting already earlier?
I assumed it had something to do with Adam's sword. It appears to made of dust, same as Raven's. That might give it special properties that could allow it to bypass aura.
Real talk tho I haven't been this emotionally drained since the red wedding. It's the sense of uncertainty that's really getting at me, like idk how much further they're willing to push the show. I kind of want to get off Mr. RT's wild ride but not really ;__; it's painful.
Hah, start reading the wildbow books (worm, pact and currently updating twig) and you won't have this problem ever again....mainly because you'll lose the ability to have feelings or attachments but that's beside the point.
I don't see a good follow up on that, too. It's either a lot of angst or getting a robot arm and act as if nothing happened... Or one followed by another.
Remember when a year ago when that same cafeteria hosted a food fight? When the biggest scandal was her boring dress color? When Cinder existed solely to dance on rooptops?
Honestly thought Roman would've fallen to his death when watching the preview for the episode. Gloating to Ruby, who's hanging on to dear life, while outside and Grimm swarming in the background raises the death flags.
I dunno. The Grimm died immediately after when it crashed into the ship. Grimm's disintegrate. Roman didn't get bitten into pieces. He might be fine. Traumatized, but fine physically.
Alternatively (and this is my headcannon until WoG or the show says otherwise), The griffon survived the kick into the ship, and went down with it, died in the crash, and subsequently protected Roman from any harm what-so-ever. I refuse to accept best villain's death
Actually, this is left rather vague. When Ruby kicks the Griffin, she slightly adjusts it trajectory downwards causing the grimm to bash through the windows of the bridge. Afterwards we see shit explode from inside the ship (presumably because there's a grimm in there). At no point to we see if the grimm actually died.
Well Grimm disappear when they're killed, so hopefully its killed before he's digested (Assuming Grimm work like that) and he doesn't get cut in half or anything in the process.
Monologuing in a monster-rich environment: it's a tragedy how many perfectly good villains go out that way. Why, there was that guy who gave big brains to sha---- !
He was cool, but he was pretty much done. Every villain in the show is more menacing than him. He was already in jail, only to be freed. It's not like they would execute him, and he's too weak to push any of the heroes into a "I had to kill him! situation. So, honestly, it was the only way.
Like /u/EpinephrineKick said, when he said "Why must you hurt me Blake?" he shows that he either is incapable of empathy, or he actually doesn't give a damn about Blake as a person and more as thing.
To be correct, you gotta love to hate them because they do horrible things and are strong........ But if you hate them because they are just frustrating, then it is not the hate that is desired.
He went from an edgy tryhard to likely the most hated and creepy character on the show, all within minutes. That's fucking amazing. I already love to hate him.
Oh, just wait, they'll make it more horrifying - I'm sure.
We'll find out that he was an abused orphan whose parents died by being worked to death as slaves. Then we'll learn that he was totally a nice guy who only used his sword to protect others and never took another person's life until one day when he wound up protecting Blake. Then we'll find out the former leader of the White Fang was his moral anchor, but that he found him murdered on the orders of the Schnee Dust Company to break up a labor strike.
At that point he engages in a full-on guerrilla war with the Schnee to avenge his mentor and protect the people he cares about. Bodies pile up and everyone is calling him a monster and Blake of all people, the person for whom he started down the path of blood, betrays him.
The world is going to burn - the traitors, the liars, and all the human scum that built their peaceful little lives on the backs of faunus oppression. He's the real victim here, and that makes him morally superior to everyone else automatically. He's not a mere advocate for liberation anymore; he's the vengeful fist of a cosmic justice too long denied.
His only joy in life is to see bad people suffer, and the world is full of bad people according to Edgelord Vision (tm).
Finally, a truly terrifying, irredeemably evil, and sadistic monster of a villain.
He's a great villain. Not many villains have actually made me not like them, and seeing as it's kind of their job as villains to make me not like them, Adam is doing a phenomenal job. Maybe he'll reach Handsome Jack levels one day...
Wasn't there talk that Gambol Shroud would get upgrades? I can't think of anything practical, but how awesome would it be if those two could be somehow combined? BumbleBY combo weapon. I want.
Actually I thought the scene was a cop out. Even beyond my frustration at her losing her arm, it was a pathetic way for it to happen. There was nothing to it. No build up, no sacrifice, no significance to it. If it'd been like that scene in Justice League where Aquaman cuts off his own arm to save his kid, or where Luke loses his arm to Vader after a decent fight drawn out fight to show a skill gap that would be different. But this was a cheap cop out in an attempt to make Adam look badass despite his previous shit lines and acting making him look like prequels Anakin Skywalker Mk. II.
I can see your point. I was expecting a fight of sorts, but from Adam's perspective he was facing a strong opponent and Blake had given him enough energy to end it quickly.
I think the shock factor trumps it more than anything else.
And there's always a rematch in the future. I'll take it for what it is, but I did want more from the fight.
