so did this show pick up? A friend had me watch Season 1 with him, and I hated Ruby's voice but everyone else was kinda cool, then I watched Season 2 episodes 1 2 3, and hated Ruby's voice enough to stop watching the show (plus the episodes were kinda boring). does it get better season 3? will I absolutely have to pick back up from season 2 to understand season 3?

Well, Ruby's voice hasn't changed, so...

Nothing happened in season 2 and I know this because I watched it with you fuckers.

Roman got arrested and seemed very smug about it. Black is a cat.

S2 builds up towards the execution of what's supposed to be a major terrorist attack, said attack finally happens... And all of the damage is undone with a literal handwave.

i mean, i was able to enjoy season 1 even with her voicing, its just season 2 wasnt really that good at the start. based on the other two comments it sounds like not a whole lot happened in season 2, does this mean im able to skip it without missing a whole lot? You can already sorta do that with Season 1>2

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
Highlights of S2:
Ep. 1 Best Day Ever: the food fight is pretty much one of the two big 'fight' scenes in the season,
Ep. 7 Dance Dance Infiltration: has good character building if you care about that as well as Chekhov's Infiltration,
Ep. 10, 11, 12 Mountain Glenn, No Brakes and Breach for the build up to as well as the 'climax' of the season.
Mountain Glenn also contains the important RWBY team character building moment for the season.

The World of Remnant stuff is also interesting but it's background stuff.

Season 3 is a bit better in that there's a lot more fight scenes and the story is actually moving and the villains get some more background to them (though not enough.)
Current cons are Cinder & Co. executing things as flawlessly as ever and the introduction to a new important plot point that should really have gotten more mention before now (I still like the tale of the Maidens :colbert:)
The Climax is so far appropriately epic and does not seem like it'll be undone with a literal wave of Glenda Goodwitch's hand (plus it's pulling a bunch of the Chekhov triggers laid out in previous seasons.) New Grimm creature is kind of out of no where but is appropriately 'Oh Crap' enough to be worth it.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

On the bright side; this does present a non zero chance of Yang being able to do a Rocket Punch with whatever replaces her hand so, you know, swings and roundabouts.

I want Clockwork Orange Villain to come back because it's the only voice acting I like from season one. So I guess he will just come out like Hannibal Chau if they did bring him back because plot semblance or somethin.

That and I prefer it over Miss dull monotone Xanatos

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
