Watching your Adam edit reminded me how much I hated the scene. Biggest is the complete ignoring of Adam's brand and the implications by the characters/writers. Sire, let's totally not have Yang have any reaction to seeing Adam has been hurt just like her.
It is wild how Adam and Yang parallel each other, but the writing needed to make Yang's pain more important than his. He was showing his branding to show what people did to him in the past, but the excuse of, "he's using it to manipulate her," pushes aside the rampant racism in Remnant even after Adam died. Adam is an example of violent abuse by racists.
And they both like Blake, the same person with a knack for running away from people and her problems. She ran from Adam and then she ran from Yang. Blake is only honest when alone with Adam or with someone she can push around (Sun.) Blake is not authentic in the slightest. She's a very dishonest person.
I get so nostalgic thinking about rosewick cause it was one of the first ships I made fandom content of and other rosewick shippers were so nice and welcoming.
I really wish I joined the fandom during that time, because this ship looked like it was a lot of fun for Rosewick shippers. I don't see problems from the past with these shippers so I am taking your word for it, it sounds like it was a grand ol' time.
After watching Boba, there was a moment Yang pointed out that Qrow was acting differently. It made me go back to the other episodes and the epilogue, and perhaps the writers are hinting at Qrow behaving strangely.
I don't even care if he's acting weird because of the Summer Maiden, I'm so over that plot. I just find it fascinating that there's been up to.
Realistically, if it were Ironwood or Ozpin who sent the message about Salem, I'm pretty sure Remnant would hate them for plunging them into global turmoil.
But because it was the main character, everything was fine and they loved her dearly for her efforts, treating her like a Remnant Messiah.
This reaction from a kingdom that is at the bottom of their luck is odd. Before RWBYJ appeared, there was nothing but grief and hate everywhere, attracting hordes of Grimm to Vacuo. But now in Beyond, everything seems to be perfectly fine and nothing is crumbling. It's just a regular kingdom - that doesn't have a wall, by the way. It's exposed to the outside. The only building that has a wall is Shade Academy, meanwhile the rest of the kingdom is outside it.
I don't understand why everybody has been behaving like it's all peachy.
But what I do find funny is that Team RWBY (or at least Ruby and Yang) still aren't privy to what Qrow and the other adults are up to. Circled back to the secrecy once more, as if Ozpin and Ironwood were right to keep everything hidden.
The most coherent episode so far was Jaune's, as much as I liked the Boba episode. Jaune at least asked what the end would look like for them, meanwhile we had a goofy short about the Junior Detectives, Somewhat and the Sisters.
The Junior Detectives was trying to stay connected to the plot, but it was too comedic to take seriously.
Somewhat's episode is skippable, you won't miss anything.
And the Boba episode is Ruby and Yang hanging out and reflecting on what happened in Ever After.
A Beyond episode that I did enjoy, but a little too late, Yang.
It's weird how the team never thought about being a team for the last 9 years, lol. But, this was a cute episode that I didn't hate, and I enjoyed the artwork of Ruby and Yang a lot.
