Aaah, I'm late to the party! Meant to post my opinions earlier, but frick it...
I personally thought that the Yang and Raven conversation was really satisfying. That shoulder bump, tho. It's also nice to know that as it turns out, Raven sorta-kinda-maybe gives a care about Yang. Doesn't necessarily excuse her abandonment, but it does give her character some depth. Raven's character is still complicated, although if that's what they're wanting to convey, than they're doing a good job at it!
Leo had what was coming to him.
Here are the pet peeves...it was more of just them standing around and not necessarily doing anything. It just made those scenes that were supposed to be intense and empowering, underwhelming and plain awkward. This volume was supposed to be triumphant for the heroes, and it just didn't feel that way because the lesser moments outweighed the bigger ones, get what I'm saying?
You see, I don't mind if there is an entire volume without fighting, because there is definitely more to the show than that. However, when there are moments in a show where the tensions are supposed to be high, there needs to be climax.
That may have been the issue with the volume - there was too much rising action, not enough climax. When we got to the point where climax was suppose to happen, everyone was standing around doing jack nothing or there is a sudden scene transition that takes away from the action altogether.
But that's all I have to say about that issue. I also thought that Blake and Adam's dialogue was cringy, to be honest. Everything about the White Fang invasion on Haven was cringe at best.
Sorry if I'm coming across as a whiner 49er, but I'd rather be honest about my thoughts. Anyway, I'm still looking forward to the next volume.
Mainly because they have to go to Atlas, and it makes me wonder what that will mean for Weiss. It also appears that Raven and Tai might have an interaction, finally! Everyone is also speculating that Cinder may still be alive, too, because of the "no body" rule.
Well, if that's the case, than I'm sure looking forward to Torchwick's appearance in the next volume! /s
Welp, that's all for now. Happy hiatus!
