So we got accidental confirmation that Ironwood is alive and Pyrrha gets maiden powers, huh? Well, we already figured Ironwood was alive, but it was still technically up in the air if Pyrrha would be able to get the maiden powers. Now the question is, is she still Pyrrha?

I'll repeat what I said in the previous thread.

That was not really a spoiler. Even without the preview it was pretty obvious Pyrrha was gonna become a maiden. What happens after she receives the powers however is another matter. Hopefully, Cinder will defeat her and take the powers. Pyrrha keeping her maiden powers would be bad, character and story wise. It would make me criticize RT's writing. I don't want another Breach where everything works out fine and someone fixes everything with a wave of her hand.
>>
>>79593372
No, the question still is if she'll survive or at least not be in a coma.

Or even if Cinder will still get the powers anyways.
>>
>>79593401
I dunnow. It'd be pretty interesting and at least give her a new dimension.
>>
>>79593372
Another question. Can she even handle the power safely.
>>
>>79593401
Well, it was still technically possible that they could have been interrupted by Cinder and the whole thing could have turned into a mess.

>Pyrrha keeping her maiden powers would be bad, character and story wise. It would make me criticize RT's writing. I don't want another Breach where everything works out fine and someone fixes everything with a wave of her hand.
There are several hundred negative consequences for Pyrrha getting all the maiden powers.

Jaune's going to somehow make Pyrrha lose the power to save her life via a convoluted deal with Cinder?
>>
>>79593431
It would make team RWBY and other characters feel less significant. Pyrrha would take a step up towards becoming the main character. Giving a powerful side character a power boost is boring and cheap. Even without maiden powers, Pyrrha is damn powerful. Who besides Cinder can fight Pyrrha when she has her skills, Semblance and maiden powers?

>>79593436
Cinder could use it as soon as she took half of Amber's powers.

I honestly wouldn't have minded it as, while you say step up, I'd say step down. Pyrrha could take a sideline as they literally just have Jaune say "Oh she has maiden duties" or some crap like that.

At this point, we've seen for every Jaune arc, there has to be a Pyrrha Nikos moment. While I'm not saying I'd specifically want a Jaune arc, all I am saying I wouldn't mind one being resolved without Pyrrha. Him bonding with Ruby or Ren or even Cardin would be interesting as Pyrrha has become a crutch. I'd actually really want to see him trained by Taiyang for some reason.

I could see it as something stupid though. Like he tries to fight Cinder to protect Pyrrha but this causes him to lose which makes Pyrrha give up the powers for his life.

Miles and Kerry are really bad about this sort of thing, probably because they know about as much as we do half the time.

A question about Ironwood's blatantly shady behavior? "Lol nope he's totally a good guy." (read: we have a basic outline of this character and we're making shit up as we go)

A question about the world itself like how the kingdoms work or what the deal with the moon is? "Sorry guys, spoilers!" (read: we don't know, we haven't thought that far ahead.)

That's a problem with Jaune and Pyrrha (an Arkos problem). Nearly all of Pyrrha's scenes are with Jaune. She exists in his shadow. Jaune hung out with other characters, such as when Ruby gave him some peptalk. Pyrrha doesn't get that. Arkos is a big reason why Pyrrha was made.

Even though they are call team JNPR, it's actually more like team JP. They are two teams in one. In team RWBY, all the girls get focus, some getting more and others getting less. In JNPR however, this only happens for Jaune and Pyrrha. Ren and Nora are mostly comic relief characters. You could remove those two and you would not miss much. I would love to have a Pyrrha and Nora girltalk scene, but that will never happen.

It's said that the show has no set protagonist, and that it is shared between team RWBY and JNPR. I say it is team RWBY + Jaune and Pyrrha.

This is partially of result of RT having introduced far too many characters in too short amount of time.

I still can't tell if Velvet is supposed to be wearing really tall boots or if she's got weird cuffs on shorts and is wearing some kind of body glove with attached flats. It seems to differ depending on the artist.
>>
>>79593436
That is also an interesting thing to talk about. Did they even inform her of what Amber's powers were?
>>
>>79593723
Which is why Pyrrha getting maiden powers would help. Her getting maiden powers destroys the balance of the team. Before she's unneeded. She can be Jaune's development toy sure. That was basically her only purpose in vol 1 and 2. And this ended in Breah...I guess.

But with maiden powers, she now has a purpose both in show and within the show. They could either show her less or show her more, either scenario both don't necessarily show Jaune in them.

But this is RT. They will still somehow definitely fuck it up where, even with Maiden powers, it is all exactly the same.
>>
>>79593657
See, the issue here is they didn't MEAN for him to be shady. Not only was it unintentional, it was the complete opposite of what they were going for. I'm not saying they're not bad writers, but they must have been frustrated to no end by everyone interpreting their work wrongly.

Because in their eyes, it was completely obvious that Ironwood was always good, Blake being a faunus and penny being a robot weren't obvious reveals, and the Robot Leg thing didn't come completely out of left field.

You have to understand that this is a pair of inexperienced and low-quality writers who think they're good at what they do, and act accordingly. If the audience doesn't react the way they meant them to react, then that's "their fault".

As far as I can tell, being a Maiden allows one to manipulate Dust without a catalyst like a weapon or having it sewn into one's clothing. Amber appeared to just be able to channel those powers, meaning a Maiden doesn't even need Dust or is just able to create it from the air on the fly.

Never forget that Velvet became an actual character only because the fans liked her and demanded to see more of her. She was supposed only be bullied by Cardin and then never be seen again. RT even moved out someone from team CFVY to make room for her.

In short, she is a fan service character.

That is less correct though, because they were actually upset with Monty for doing her fight in volume 1 because it made it more obvious than the two of them wanted.

As for a source on that, I believe it was either in the commentary for season 1 or was said during a live stream around season 2, most likely one after the episode with Penny's reveal was done.

She was being bullied by a first year when her team consists of entirely overpowered individuals.

Like NPR ignoring Jaune's explanations on team attacks it's something they really didn't think the implications of through.

There's also the fact that a second year is in the same class as first years that she didn't defend herself seeing as her action against the grimm.

How do you guys think the upcoming fights are going to go? Will Blake overpower Adam? Will Ruby manage to take control of the airship back? Personally, I think Blake will only be able to defeat Adam with either Yang or Weiss's help, leading to an, "I'm not alone!" moment on her part, and Ruby will either also get help, or it will turn out that she's a Maiden and activate her powers, giving her the boost she needs to take down Roman and Neo.

Being a powerful person doesn't save you from insecurity or bullying of that insecurity.

As for the class thing, Beacon seems like a mixture between the college and high school systems. I'm the only senior in some of my underclassmen-dominated classes, Velvet might have just had to take that class later.

Yatsuhashi and the rest of Velvets team are different people who react to things differently. And do we know that the Bun is bullied in front of her team? It's very likely she doesn't talk about it.

>>79594269
>Because of that one "I had Yatsuhashi look out for me" line?
And that he stood in front of her during a spike rain from grimm.

He has obviously no issues with defending her, as does Coco.

So why would they have let her get bullied by CRDL.

The fact fact that people are actually trying to defend this is amazing.
>>
Just recalled, Velvet's implied to be weaker than her teammates.

She's attending first-year lectures, letting herself get bullied, team RWBY was concerned for her well-being while she was doing the CFVY mission, and it seems that when facing regular battles, she just uses unarmed combat rather than her supposed superweapon.

Can't we all agree that it would've been better if CFVY were never introduced in the first place? They fucked up Breach, and have contributed nothing in volume 3, except lose a 2vs2 fight and Velvet speaking to Ruby. As I've said before, RWBY have too many characters. Too many were introduced fast.

There's a difference between protecting your teammate in a battle to the death and patronizing your teammate in a social situation.

I'm fine with CFVY. The only problem with them was their starring role in the Breach. It's not bad to have made them very powerful, they just shouldn't have taken so much focus from RWBY. Show them off, just not TOO much.

What are you talking about? The arguements are being argued back.

I think you mean common sense.
Not everyone who is bullied turns around and runs to their friends and asks them to beat the bullies up. Just silently bearing it is a pretty common and normal response. The biggest problem with bullying is that it's hard for people in the position to stop it (Read: Teachers, friends) to even see that it is going on because people don't seek out help.

I'm positive CFVY would win.

Fox would be on point taking both Sun and Neptune at once.

Yatsu would be tanking and guarding Velvet until she finished taking pictures of their weapons.

Have you ever had friends? Ever?

It's not coddling it's protecting them because you care about them.

In high school if someone was getting bullied and they were a friend there would not be any fucking around with "They'll handle it themselves." It was immediately "if you don't stop it we're going to do it to you and it's going to be worse because it's going to be six of us and as many cousins as we can bring."

Even though they're 4 person teams, you still have a partner on said team. It's why White Rose and Bumbleby are still the top ships in the fandom as opposed to the infinitely superior Labybug and Freezerburn.

Jaune and Pyrrha are literally partners, it happened in Volume 1.

Same way Ruby and Weiss are partners. Blake and Yang.

Nora and Ren.

No such thing when it comes to ships.

So what can the show do to make this finale worse than Breach?
Can that even be done?

>I'm sorry that you are a huge bitch and your solution to being fucked with was to go cry about it to your friends and your friends families, but Velvet isn't a huge bitch, so she didn't bother her vastly superior in combat team with it.
Honestly if you think it's being a bitch to go to your friends when someone is bothering you, they're clearly weren't that good of friends.Because if a friend came to me and told me they were being bullied, even if it was a guy I wouldn't think he's a bitch. Just that he needs help.

You're advocating allowing bullying if the person being bullied is unable to deal with it on their own. Which is why it still happens.

It's not codependence for friends to defend each other. And seeing as they live together, go to classes together and fight together they should by all rights be close.

I suppose they could have everything resolved by the end of the finale despite the stakes being much higher.

Shipping.
Shipping literally ruins everything.
Especially when the canon ships are all fucking terrible with the exception of Arkos.

Pyrrha keeps her maiden powers
The Dragon is defeated easily
Ruby defeat both Neo and Roman
Blake defeats Adam
Yang meets Raven
Emerald joins the good guys

The fusion process with Amber will go wrong, all the students will be about to die, the Dragrimm will slam into Ozpin's tower, causing it to fall and collapse onto the school as Elephant grimm, level the town.

And then Glynda will wave her wand and repair the entire city.

Also Jaune will become the maiden because he is the chosen one and the last true descendant of the wizard. Except not really because it turns out that Cinder's actually his half-sister.

Nothing of consequence happens.
Beacon is alright
The dragon Grimm is defeated easily
Ozpin take out like a punk
Emerald heel turn
Blake defeats Adam
No body learns anything as usual
Penny back alive
