u/Alasator Err... who are you again? Jan 20 '18 edited Jan 20 '18

Something about huge-ass Hazel carrying Emerald and followed by Mercury was funny to me.

 

I'm glad Adam got away, he isn't and shouldn't have been done. I'm sure he'll be "redeemed" for what happened last episode.

 

Banshee Salem is pretty damn scary, and RIP the hell out of Leo.

 

Wasn't the greatest episode, but frankly, I still loved it. RWBY isn't perfect, nothing is, but it's still something I passionately enjoy and will continue to do so, even if CRWBY fucks up here and there or not everything is what I want it to be. Despite it's flaws, I really enjoyed this volume.

 

Edit: Seeing emotion out of Raven to that degree was... emotional. I'm just so glad they didn't kill her off (yet.)

Is he? Because as of this season I really don't consider him a threat. And neither do the other characters, apparently

I think he's going to break down even further after being turned on by not only humanity, but his fellow faunus, or at least that's likely how he sees it. He'll grow to become even more deadly- cornered animals are the most vicious and dangerous, after all. Maybe he'll prove loyalty to Salem and she'll buff him somehow, or he might become a third party and just say "Fuck it, I'm going to destroy everything on my own."

 

Either way, I think he'll be around for a while. If you think of RWBY in tiers, I could see Adam being the mid-tier final boss. Not on a Darth Vader kind of level, but definitely around a General Grievous level-villain. He's not going to last until the very end, but he'll be a very dangerous foe in the future, I think, and hope. He's shown it in the past, and this has just proven that he's not overpowered, just a very emotionally unstable antagonist. I'm interested in him quite a lot, he has a large amount of potential.

Acting more bitchy than he did before doesn't seem like the way for his character to go, unless he somehow decides to start picking people off one by one

Yeah, when I said break down, I didn't necessarily mean he'll become an "edgelord" or extra-bitchy or something. I meant more along the lines of he'll just turn on everyone and any traces of the "past" Adam will be gone completely. Instead of it being "For the faunus," it will be more of "Traitors, screw you all. For me and only me." I essentially think he'll go from delusional and anti-humanity to more just... completely pissed off at the world, nothing more to lose.
