RWBY V7E1 Watch And Comment

AlIm going to leave this untagged and under a read-more so there is NO WAY anyone will be spoiled by this. This is more me commenting on the episode, to get it out of my head.

First off; Atlas has hanger bays noted by Greek letters. Omega-12 for example. If theres a reference in that I don’t know but its interesting.

Weiss notes that Atlas’s forces are deployed “aggressively”. Which is weird considering they’re in a defensive holding pattern with dozens of dropships running combat air patrols. Perhaps she means aggressively as in “out there” as opposed to being in the background...

That being said Weiss makes the same assumption jump I made so them going to Mantle makes more sense

On Mantle...its as gritty as I imagined it would be, but at the same time, far more prosperous. Im okay with this change, but I had to throw out some old headcanons of mine.

THAT BEING SAID the way it looks strikes me as a place with a lot of underground grey/black stuff. It looks like something out of Shadowrun.

Interestingly there’s a reason for the change and why I had to throw out my headcanons; you can see red-lit fan vents on many buildings, some emmiting steam. Possibly these are some kind of heating vents that keep the whole city from freezing, which is really cool.

Also despite the presence of traffic lights I see no cars.

Okay, even more Shadowrun; Ironwood talking to everyone on a giant fuckoff TV screen on the wall. And...hes got a pointless shoulder belt. Haha!

Damn, they missed a chance to have him punch his chest with his fist and say “Atlas Endures!” or something cool like that.

I get the overall feeling Mantle got really cracked down on for some reason...also lot of people with cold weather gear on. I guess its not THAT warm there.

Oh, and AKs patrolling the streets (headdesks) ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! YOU IDIOTS KNOW THEY DONT WORK!

And Winter’s now the face of Atlas. Somehow Im not shocked.

NO SHIT THERES SOMETHING WRONG Weiss. NO. SHIT.

Also if they set that ship down in Mantle five bucks says by the end of the day its just gonna be GONE. They’ll have stripped it CLEAN.

Oh, wait. We hear some guys in teh background go “It landed over there, lets go!” and we see Atlas troopers running for it. Huh. Guess they DO have human soldiers in the area.

So according to the glowing news wall, we see something about an election, a journalist is dead (might be important later) and they’re commending on the embargo. Also the sign is for someone named Hill. Looks like she’ll be important too.

Graffiti reading “show your teeth”. With an Ork symbol on it. Interesting.

Hover drones to keep track of people. Oh joy, going full authoratarian huh? Not subtle, RT. Not subtle.

Oh, theres a car. Convenient.

Wait...”The kingdom had just lost the Great War”. I KNEW IT. I KNEW Mantle was technically the looser here.

More trucks. Old school looking. Carrying Faunus dust miners covered in black greasy shit. Hmm. Also, not terribly subtle.

Random angry exposition drunk guy is random, drunk, angry, and expositional...and properly disposed of in a trash can by Weiss. Thank you Miss Schnee, I appreciate that.

Dude on the steps is probably Ash’s cousin or something. Hmm. More signs. Literally saying “Protect Mantle”. Im calling it, this Hill person is the Mantle Resurgance leader and I think Im going to like her.

Prostectic for a faunus. Hmm. Something tells me thats not standard... OH MY GOD HES HUEY FROM MGS MEETS DR. LIGHT WHAT THE FUCK

Something on the X-ray screens behind Maria. Looks like...full cybornetic implants of some kind? Superhumans? Spartans? Some kind of Grimm? Interesting.

Peitro. And hes got a whale on his shelf there. How clever.

OH THANK GOD It looks like its not Schnee doing all the work. I can handle this cool old dude.

Shoes that make you dance.

Ironwoods gone paranoid. And no one commented on it then? Interesting. I guess Remnant doesnt have the best veterans health benefits...

I do love his “days since last nonsense” sign, still reading 0

Also a place called Atalal or something. Atlatl? Like the old throwing weapon? Perhaps a new city.

Convenient Grimm attack is convenient...also, daughter. I wonder who THAT COULD BE...

Gambol shroud is still broken I see.

“Somehow that doesnt surprise me” No, I agree with you there Nora, when has ANYTHING defensive in Remnant ACTUALLY FUCKING WORKED?

Also shocker, the AKs are COMPLETELY WORTHLESS against Grimm. Who would have thought?!

I’ll just let the fight scene go for itself. Its great. Though I will note the AK rifles sound different now. Actual gun noises instead of the pew-pew of the plasma pistol from V3

Qrow punches a Grimm in the face and then kills it. FUCKING NICE.

Also is it just me or do these Grimm disintigrate WAY faster than they used too. I remember back in V1 and 2 they stcuk around for a bit, but the moment these guys take hits they’re just DUST.

Green laser. WELL NOW WHO COULD THAT BE...

AND ITS...SEXY FEMALE MEGAMAN! Wait no its Penny. But upgraded. Dishwasher style. Yaayyyyy. But...no assault robot.

DAT ABSOLUTE TERRITORY ON HER LEG THO. GIRL SLAY IT

The little bow wiggle

ANNNDDDD RUBY’S DEAD. Thats it, shows over. Killed by flying robot ginger.

Her bow is also metal, which is adorable. Ohhhh. So THATS where the Arena went. It flew all the way back to Atlas. Man that must have been something to see.

Aww, shes protector of Mantle. Thats...actually kinda cute.

“I must go, my people need me” SHE GONE

Oh, look, vents leaking heat into the air behind Maria. So Mantle DOES heat its air to keep it snow-free.

Bolos. Really.

Please dont be specialists please dont be specialists please dont be specialists OH YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME

(Rages in lack of Tier 1 operator tacticool). Leaders a fucking douche looker too IMO. Really, a horseshoe? Oh. Wait. Hes got a clover on his shirt. I bet you anything hes the mirror opposite of Qrow.

Ace Ops? REALLY. This is the best Atlas has? I know they’re just Huntsman but LEGIT REALLY. REALLY.

And they think th ey’re SOOOOOOO cool. Dude, Bravo Six could take your shit apart without even TRYING. Captain Price would stub his cigar out on your fuckin’ skullhole.

And thats the episode. Next week!
