2025-05-16 16:41:56 +0000 UTCLol, kinda on the nose after Season 9 β Ruby giddily wanting to be a hero, Blake shooting her down with a sarcastic, βbecause [you think] everything has a happy ending?β Ruby coming to terms with her expectations is her personal arc in a nutshell. I like how the writing tends to explore better some of the original themes (like SDC vs White Fang / faunus, etc). The first season or two of RWBY was pretty rough from a writing perspective, this feels like a more polished revisitβ¦ I really like how they drive Pyrrhaβs isolation home β as soon as she is named-dropped, everyone reacts to her as someone out of their league, and you can just see her wilt through the chatter. Pyrrha felt set apart from her peers, while she simply wanted to fit in and feel close to someone β which is why Jaune was appealing to her. I guess we all forgot how much Season 1 Weiss sucked in some ways, lol β but she cleaned up really nice as her ideas were challenged. And sheβs not entirely bad β we see her acknowledge internally Rubyβs comment about Weiss βnot being perfect,β plus we saw Weissβ discipline and courage in E1. "Excellence" is one of Weiss' values, but I love that "thoughtful compassion" becomes a later one. Weissβ semblance is Glyphs. Ren and Nora, lol. Love seeing them together, Ren's responses are chef's kiss. Really nice rendition of the Nevermore killβ¦!

She does have it already, if you remember Winter explained in V3 the Schnee Family's Semblance is hereditary so it's her Glyphs that she summons as platforms, trapping enemies and such. It's been a while but yea she got it. If you were thinking of the summoning that's just another aspect of her semblance

2025-05-10 17:39:24 +0000 UTCFor the most part, depending on how far you have recorded (so minor spoiler), the first three episodes are essentially the first volume of the show, with slight alterations with events. In this episode, it was straight into the initiation instead of spending the night in the ballroom on first arrival to Beacon. Ice Queendom really goes into new things starting episode 4.
