That was grim. At least it won't be solved with a magical handwave this time. I like how Ruby went sad for a few seconds after realising Pyrrha's death and then went straight into "Oh silver eyes, what's that mean?" I know she was in some sort of coma (Though how long is unexplained) but I Imagine it wasn't long enough for the rest of JNR to be high in spirits over their sudden teammates's death. Though I'm glad monotone voice actor has been replaced if the ending was any indication. And I guess Clockwork Villian isn't coming back if they went that far enough. Ah well. At least the shippers will be crying salt for a while. Is it me or did the writing went the RVB route of being fun hearted then going straight into darker and more dramatic all of a sudden?

I know it's not the same bird by a long shot but I can't help thinking Ruby accidently drop kicked Qrow all the way back in Season 1 so, you know, that takes the sting out of things.

That finale was pretty cool until I realisedPyrhha died because welp we needed the steaks to be raised and guess Jaune needs some motivation

So I see the writers were fans of Evangelion's second episode.  Minus the whole 'tell the protagonist they won, show the viewers how it went down at the end' bit.

Pretty great finale. The show finally seems to be firing on all cylinders. One thing I saw pointed out was this. Wtf? It looks like Cinder actually starts to tear up when Pyyrha asks her about destiny. I love that subtle bit of charactisation and it makes me wander how this fits into her backstory. Was she forced into this? It didn't seem so in that flashback ep.

SyntheticPolygon posted:After Season 2, I can't believe this ended with stuff actually happening. Seriously , it's like they went "Oh you guys want consequences?" Really liked the bit at the end where Glynda tries to mend things with the same handwave she did at the end of Season 2 and fails miserably. I'd be surprised if that wasn't a direct shoutout. That said, this last episode was really strange for me to watch, particularly Ruby going full Winter(?) Maiden and nuking Cinder plus Dragon. They spent the entire last three seasons including the first half of the last episode of the third season building up Cinder as a giant threat and introduced the Dragon as a big loving deal, and both of them die in seconds. That's anticlimactic as gently caress and felt like an enormous deus ex machina. On the other hand, if that means I won't have to hear those two voices again, it's a clear plus. Also lol at anyone who believed Cinder and Pyrra were safe because Monty hired their voice actors. The end honestly felt a bit like the writers wanted to dump some of the stuff they never liked.

Narratively Seasons 1-3 have been one season. Think of them as Acts more than actual seasons, they fit better that way. I'm rather curious why they chose to call each segment a Season though (there's a couple reasons I can think of off-hand why they would.) Regarding the actual finale now that it's open to the public: The attention to detail is great. Jaune getting put in a locker again, the tears, Silver Eyes, Yang's slight hesitation etc. They know what they're doing they're just doing it a really weird and abrupt way. Kind of like an animator who knows all of his key frames but has to put it all together by hand. It's an interesting meta to ponder. I do hope they do longer episodes now that they have an opportunity to get on better software and such. RWBY's shortness seems to be it's biggest problem in my eyes. Main surprise is the Silver Eye thing. Same problem with the Maidens, really could have used a bit more foreshadowing than it got although it did get more due to how Ruby's Mom was subtly built up. Pyrrha did what she could and her demise fits her character, (the line about destiny is particularly poignant) it wasn't because Jaune needed motivation. RWBY breaking up was also on the low end of probability but it doesn't feel weird that it happened this way, Weiss and Blake have their lose ends that forced their issue, Yang needs time to recover and decide if she'll go ROCKET PUNCH or something and Ruby is the simple soul that will actually get things done before getting the group back together. Stormgale posted:By the flashback ep she was deep into the plan, for all we know she was raised or goaded into this from a young age.

Dragon and Cinder are both still alive and the latter probably isn't even harmed. So she will still be around to bore us for many more seasons to come.

If we take it as pyrrha being ozpin's ace in the hole and failing but still her going up to the tower felt kinda forced and her death served more of a narrative "We need her dead now" rather than the story serving the characters The cinder eye thing Could just be her wierd white eye reflections

Shot through the heart, body burned to ash, place of death nuked by tactical ruby strike. Shame about Cinder, but at least we got one second of her being caught seriously off-guard. After three seasons of Cinder being vaguely and smugly evil it was a breath of fresh air.

No way in gently caress is Cinder dead; she hasn't had an episode revealing her cliched tragic past before starting her whole 'become a maiden' thing. Plus, well, more logically: If she's dead, why would Ruby be waking up without displaying her powers? By the show's own logic, she'd fit all of the criteria: young, a woman, and the last person Cinder would be thinking about in her final moments.

Is it safe to assume the show is still garbage, but now given a superficial sense of depth and characterization because they added arbitrary tragedy?

They have done a not completely terrible job of highlighting character's flaws and then showing how those flaws cause them to act in a predictable but tragic manner. At least i didn't get the impression that they just flipped a coin when they decided who lived and who died.

So probably not completely back to working speed but probably past the greater majority of the stuff that would probably cause the story to come to a crashing halt for them to deal with.

Eh, I'm calling decent odds that the next season will have a scene where Jean has a heart to heart with Pyrrha's ghost (because magic) where he admits he still hasn't gotten over it, is going on the mission for revenge, etc.
