Fuck. This was both busy and boring at the same time.

- Penny becomes the new winter maiden, despite being robit
- Cinder and Neo get the relic, JNR end up jobbing hard to accomplish this
- Oscar gets shot by James, but survives thanks to the power of glowing Ozpin cane
- Team RWBY does jack all this episode
- Full betrayal of Winter is complete, she calls the Atlas forces on her sister and gives her a head start
- Qrow and Robyn are arrested (which was expected), Tyrian is still loose
- Watts survived
- Salem arrives to fuck up Atlas with her army

Whole thing ends on a cliffhanger. As for overall thoughts, the season was a fucking mess. While they at least made some minor visual improvements (like dropping the sausage fingers from the previous seasons), the story is a clusterfuck, Robyn's a retard and everything hinges on the idiocy and insanity of all the good guys' part.

This was a disappointing end to a mediocre season. At this point the writing is the big problem. Fights were pretty great except Neo vs JNR, and the music was pretty good too though not at great as the V6 OST.

I liked both this episode and this season. Was it perfect? No, but I expected almost everything that happened and was pleasantly surprised by the fucking whale at the end.
If there was a flaw, then it was that Penny never got hacked by Watts.

I will say that, no matter what you think of her as a villain (or think too hard on where she got it) her coming in on that whale looked fucking pretty.

Like I said, they got their shit together visually by episode 3. The writing was still rather sub-standard throughout though.

But you're definitely right on that one. If they had to end the season on a cliffhanger, that was the perfect way to end it.
 
Yay, my girl Penny survived! And she's a Maiden! That's great!

So can I ask what the fuck Ruby's silver eyes are supposed to do to Cinder? Last time Ruby hit her with the silver she lost an eye and an arm. This time she...escaped? Unscathed? Also Neo's power level in this show is off the scale. The only people she's ever lost to are Raven (who I'm convinced is the best fighter) and Ruby managed to end it in a draw. Until proven otherwise I'm declaring Neo the strongest character in RWBY.

I'm expecting next season to take place in Vaccuo, but maybe half of it will be spent watching Salem rip Atlas apart. Either way, this season felt like too much flash, and not enough function. The Ace Ops, Jaques vs Robyn, the failed assassination attempt; all of it felt like filler that amounted to nothing. Much like her band of animalistic creatures of darkness, I'm convinced Salem only keeps her band of minions around to unleash on the world and create chaos for the sake of chaos.

Edit: Why did Penny go with the RWBY crew at the end? Wasn't she the protector of Mantle or something? Or did she just go with her father? Or did she realize that if she stayed she'd be forced to open the Vault and use the Staff to leave Mantle to its fate?

"That's it?" describes this volume pretty well to me. A lot of build to things that mostly give a pretty "meh" payoff.
Like, take an axe to the election plot and focus on characters and you might have had the final episodes emotional bits hit more.
Or fill it with more ship bait. I dunno.
Ironwood vs. Watts was tight, though.
 
I can't believe they baited us with QrowClover, IronwoodOscar, and IronwoodQrow but never followed through with hardcore gay sex!

It isn't just bury your gays anymore, it's turn gays into Trumpian villians! :^)

I need more RWDE salt in my life.

If CRWBY had any actual sense, they would've included a line from Ruby saying "Hope you guys are ready..." to at least show that they aren't just running away and contradicting themselves.

If she did realize, then more than likely... She just doomed EVERYONE to die.

See that's the thing tho, CRWBY doesn't have any type of sense.
 
The show is bad.

r/RWBYcritics - the reason for the difference between ironwoods reaction to learning that rwby hid the truth about salem to him being angry at them going behind his back

Ironwood going from seemingly accepting the fact that RWBY hid the truth about Salem from him to being furious about them going behind their backs can be attributed to more than just seeing the chesspiece on his desk. At least when Oscar told him the full truth, he did it of his own volition and expressly apologised for covering it up. When he confronts Blake and Yang about telling Robyn about Amity Tower and letting her escape, the two offer no apologies for their actions and simply act like they did nothing wrong. Weiss chiming in with, "That doesn't matter right now," doesn't help their case much, as Ironwood furiously yells back, "Loyalty always matters!" In his eyes, he has given the team everything: lodging, licenses as official Huntresses, better weaponry and extended training; and the girls have apparently consistently abused his trust. Ironwood deeming them unreliable is unfortunately justified from a certain perspective.

Team RWBY has also repeatedly shown to have few qualms about not following the rules to do what they think is important. From Ruby's first appearance where she beats up a group of thugs robbing a Dust store to throughout their first semester, the four girls (with Weiss offering minimal protest at best) take it upon themselves to go after Torchwick and the White Fang without following any sort of protocol. Ozpin recognized what they were up to and kept covering up for them so they could walk away scot-free, though he partially tried reining them in a bit. But both the later half of Volume 6 and this volume has begun to deconstruct their Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right! mentality. By stealing an airship, the group gets Cordovin chasing them in a Mini-Mecha and nearly leaving Argus vulnerable. And the airship's flight into Atlas being unrecorded leads to them being arrested; Winter even angrily points out they could've been shot out of the sky. And finally, Ruby lying by omission about the truth of Ozpin and Salem and Blake and Yang letting a wanted fugitive run off with vital intel (and as previously mentioned, showing no regret whatsoever) has proven to Ironwood they can't be trusted. They're in Atlas Academy, a school that encourages discipline and strict behavior, so of course, neither Ironwood nor the Ace-Ops are at all happy with their antics. Team RWBY has simply grown too comfortable with breaking rules in favor of doing their own thing, and only now it's starting to cost them.

>I feel like I should add that team rwby and team jnr have felt like they can get away with everything and they’ve never had an adult challenge them like this. Qrow is a follower and he spent the better part of the last couple of volumes in a bad place so he was not in the position to lay down rules and guidelines. Which did not help team rwby’s mentality and thinking their way is the right way.

James Ironwood is literally the only adult to date that challenged them while still being supportive and understanding. They refused to give the man a chance and that is why the events in volume 7 happened the way they did. And why volume 8 will be devastatingly beautiful and I swear to God if James doesn’t get a redemption arc I’m going to lose it like he did.

I absolutely detest how the narrative consistently shove down our throats the idea that team RWBY is right and the people who disagreed with them are wrong, especially after how the story consistently shows that their teenage rebellion is not a viable state of mind, a mentality that only creates further division, which is ironically something team RWBY themselves advocate for, and yet here they are, unapologetic and unwilling to understand Ironwood's POV, incapable of coming up with an actual plan better than Ironwood's. The team's plan basically boils down to let's stay and fight even though there's a 99% chance all of us will die.
But I guess that's just so much more practical and logical than the idiotic suggestion of saving those we can to live another day. /sneed

Regardless if anyone likes HH or finds him exceptional, it should be said that he had a fanbase of his own long before Weeb Wars even began so he’s not just a “shock jock clone, who caught clout from Anti-MeToo Weebs” and I laugh at the twat who implies that people against MeToo are bad. News flash bitch, this shitty movement has caused more problems than solved them and became a weapon to destroy the lives of men by cunts who don’t care, nor feel guilty about lying.

Johnny Depp, Vic Mignogna, and countless others who got fucked over say hello.

There it is, the inevitable comparisons to the Adam and Shiro controversy from Voltron Legendary Defender~

I love a lolcow crossover.
