This is a time when it would help if any of the cast had had the intelligence to ever ask what a maiden can actually do - flight, blasts and unlimited energy are neat, but they're not radically different from someone with a big gun, a lot of dust and a neat semblance. I really didn't like Oscar's falling scene, what it screamed to me was "impostor protagonist" with him unlocking his special power and having the ancient wizard now back in his head Oscar's role in the story is now arguably more important and significant than any of team RWBY.Įverything else, Ironwood becoming a lunatic was expected, sad path for him since he has carried this volume hard and is easily one of the best characters in the show.Ħ/10 overall, and ok episode to end and ok volume.Įnds middle of the pack for me 3 > 4 > 6 > 7 > 2 > 5 > 1 Then shoe horn her into the volume in episode 9 and have her once again fail. I have no idea what they're doing with her, the set up a death fake out in V3, have her go through a recovery arc, she fails to get the spring maiden powers, has another death fake out, have her go through another recovery arc. But Winter may be a bigger jobber than Weiss, it must be in the Schnee genes.Ĭinder lost again. I was sure her maiden powers were a lot stronger in V5 against Raven. The fight was ok, nothing I would re-watch, but I think Cinder was done dirty here. Jessica Nigri put in a great performance here, she gets a lot of shit and is justified a lot of the time, but those screams were great. They never asked the question "Am I good enough?" I always got the impression that they were just oblivious to their losses which nobody can relate to, when you lose, it hurts, nobody likes losing which is why I think it dehumanizes the characters when they don't react to a loss.
After Yang got stomped by Neo, after Weiss got beat by Banesaw, after Ruby got stomped by Tyrian, after Weiss got stomped by Vernal.
Ren believes they aren't good enough and need to be better, it's something we haven't heard from team RWBY.
It is the start of natural growth of a character, doubt. Ren's "We weren't ready to be huntsman" was the most down to earth thing any of the main cast have said.
After worrying for a week they would find a way to make her lose, Im glad they did this.Īlso what's great is that for what I believe is the first time in the series a character has actually reacted appropriately to getting stomped in a fight. Look out for those as well.Įverything to do with Neo, she is a pleasure to watch and her fight was exactly what I wanted it to be. On a side note, I'm also planning on making a compilation of reviews of all 13 episodes of RWBY Volume 7 in a post in the near future. Either way, there will be a lot to discuss as well in the next coming days, weeks, and months. Let's see how well or how bad CRWBY stick the landing with this finale after a rather divisive penultimate episode. Comment and discuss below about V7E13.ĭescription: Who will you become when your greatest fears are realized? Plus, having a central post to discuss a new episode helps a wide range of people to give their thoughts on it. You can make your own V7E13 posts if you'd like to and you won't get punished at all for doing so but I'd like to centralize our discussion to here so that people don't have to spend so much mental bandwidth replying to multiple different posts about V7E13. Just like the one Ragnar and I lived in when we were first.This is where we'll mainly discuss our thoughts and Impressions of RWBY Volume 7 Episode 13 "With Friends Like These". Just like the one Ragnar and I lived in when we were first married. I desire to live a totally different kind of life. I don't want to be a public person anymore. Lagertha: I wish you well in your enterprise my dear son, and I'm sure you will succeed, but in the future, you will have to do it without me.ījorn: I don't understand. To build the most successful trading station in all of Scandinavia. I told you that when I became King, my rule would be very different from.ījorn: We have embarked on a new way of life here. Your chance to come to me with whatever you want, and I will listen. Kattegat can only survive and grow prosperous through trade.
He discouraged foreigners, outlawed free speech, and descent amongst our own people. And I mean to keep that pledge, Ivar built a wall around our town. I told you that when I became King, my rule would be very different from that of Ivar's.
