Do you think Qrow and Ironwood had multiple designs? Or maybe theirs were set in stone from the beginning

I'm surprised how much I like Jacques. I didn't expect it.
Levi Morgan
why is Tyrian interested in Jaune? Because of his family or trying to get in his head or wanting to fuck his ass?
Liam Reyes
I imagine Qrow had several designs by Monty, since he planned on voicing him he would have wanted Qrow to be the perfect level of cool and edgy.
Zachary Cox
That's something I'm curious about. How many designs redraws did the adults go through?

Episode 6 has annoyed me. In that fight Ruby had her aura and Tyrian could still send her flying but then Nora's supercharged hammer was stopped by Tyrian's little tail. At the very least the tail should've been knocked aside or maybe driven into Tyrian's back. At a few points when Tyrian was about to hit her she could have just used her launcher to bounce away then come back to attack again. Ren's mobility vanished. No acrobatics or dodges, he just fires a few shots and get played by Tyrian throughout. Jaune doesn't do much but what he does do is up to standard. The new combat animations are so sluggish and unweighted. No momentum, no attack combos/chains, no weight to the characters. Monty's style in these areas was impeccable. The four trailers were entirely about combos and synergy of different techniques using the environment and the forces of the weapons.
If Ruby fought like she did in her trailer Tyrian might actually have had to put some effort into blocking or dodging her. The adults are much better than the teenagers. Tyrian is essentially part of the RWBY elite four with Salem being the champion but the performance in episode six was unbelievably bad to me, I expected them to lose and at first I thought Ruby would be hurt significantly but they just fought terribly then got saved by Qrow, which was expected. Overall it looked like Tyrian should have been the one evading their attacks since he is beyond their league but rather than it being a battle of one fast guy against a bunch of lower skilled teenagers it looked like a bunch of teenagers doped on morphine versus an expert. I was hoping for a really skilled villain fight but I think the animators lowered the bar for RNJR because they couldn't get it high enough for Tyrian to be a masterful fighter like Ozpin or Cinder which both had a grand fancy style of their own.
Also nice trips
Justin Thompson
I think, deep down, despite his actions, he probably does care for Weiss. He's just so obsessed with control and image those override any nice qualities he might have had. Forcing Weiss to stay with him might be his way of making sure she doesn't misbehave, but also a way of making her spend some time with him
Brayden Nguyen
either hinted at towards the end or a more likely full reveal in volume 5
Eli Howard
Its ventriloquism. Not only does Weiss' singing voice not match, she's only seen singing at fancy concerts where he can watch, and he has a mustache to help cover his mouth.
The man has passion, but no one can know he sings like a teenage girl so he uses an actual teenage girl to live his dream.

Why is it so hard for people to comprehend that Tyrian completely overpowers 4 teenagers that aren't even full-fledged hunters yet?

So they have highly advanced weapons and fortresses, but they don't carry a GPS.
Remnant confirmed to be a world ran by communism.
Probably wondering why the fuck a weakling like him is leading a group filled with extremely acrobatic children. I'd be interested too.
Leo Gray
Their family issues will be resolved in the end with Jacques realizing his attempts at controlling his family to his very specific standards is driving them away, and he will apologize and tell Weiss he's proud of her and let her leave to meet up with her team again and they share a nice family hug while sappy music plays, just like a family afternoon movie. I love shit like that and hope it happens
Oliver Hill
Again, why is it so hard to think that maybe even Nora at her strongest still can't hold a candle to Tyrian?
He's a direct subordinate of the final boss, not some random throwaway villain. If he wasn't completely curbstomping them then Salem and her crew wouldn't seem the least bit threatening.
Luke Nelson
They have servants for it. She's supposed to be doing her job listening and chiming in when prompted. Overworked and broken up over too many staff without Monty's autism to force them to address that something is subpar rather than if it fits it ships mentality. Like a bunch of the vytal fights they were just looknig to fill the airtime between their tyrion attacks, aura break, qrow save on the plot line.
Rewatch any of the older hunter/huntress fights and many of the actions in fights. Mass isn't relevant to strength.

IT'S HAPPENING

>Pyrrha mentions all the way back in Volume 1 that Jaune has an incredible amount of sweet, sweet Aura >Still don't know what his Semblance is
Definitely not foreshadowing or anything. Nope. That would be too logical.
Tyler Ramirez
prompt idea:
>Ironwood tells Jacques during one of their meetings that he's been too hard on his kids lately >Jacques decides to try and do something nice for a change >arranges for a family outing to some random spot like a sports game or something >PARTICIPATION IS MANDATORY, WE WILL HAVE A WHOLESOME AFTERNOON TOGETHER AND YOU WILL LIKE IT >other instances of him sperging out makes things difficult
Connor Gomez
>Jaune doesn't do much but what he does do is up to standard. >tfw having a shield actually works when everyone loses their super acrobatic skills and the enemy is just unleashing attack after attack
Jaune really got serious mileage out of that shield in the fight.

Noah Gonzalez
no, he's going to be an unrepentant villain figure forever
Jonathan Jones
Nora is the strongest of the four, and she was amped up with her Semblance. The attack doing literally nothing just doesn't feel right regardless of how competent Tyrian is.
Samuel Sanders
Aborted.

Unfortunately I've already pledged myself to three other stories this weekend, those being the Yang x Twins threesome, the Ren x Pyrrha drunk fuckfest, and because I promised last weekend, a sequel to my first story.
Samuel Martin
yeah I guess it was because of his fuck ton Aura god I really need to just rewatch shit
Tyler White
...
Carter Collins
it's OK, that's reasonable
Julian Cooper
It feels perfectly. Now he's set up as a legitimate threat they need to get stronger to beat as well as establishes that compared to the big dogs in the world they can't do shit at the moment.
The good guys completely jobbing to a bad guy and giving them motivation to power up later is like basic action trope 101.
Jacob Gray

Colton Martinez
>he didn't watch the WoR
Space programs needed to set up GPS are impossible unless they switch over to a completely different form of tech, and the resources to do that might not even exist on Remnant.
I wish they would have used this episode to reveal Jaune's semblance and have Tyrian be scared off by it instead of having Qrow save the day.

There's a thread in /aco/ for a reason.
Ayden Lopez

Adam Flores
Nora is cuter than the Rube now.
Gabriel Collins

Levi Reyes
the reason why Neo can't use Glyphs is because Willow married into the Schnee family, not Jacques, and so an illegitimate child of hers wouldn't have the Schnee family semblance

Matthew Jenkins
Nah, they obviously needed Qrow to tag along with RNJR mid-season and this was the best opportunity. Bunch of kids in over their heads and had to get saved and then mentored by the adult. Jaune's semblance doesn't need to come out at this point. More likely for it to be near the end of a season than mid.
Parker Torres

>Consider bringing Willow, but decide against due to excessive alcohol consumption
Grayson Sullivan

Grayson Murphy
people pay them to. you think they made all those weird ass age regression comics because they wanted to? No, they were commissioned by someone who paid for that shit.
Lincoln Peterson
>Comments how well-skilled Ruby was in the trailer >"a bunch of low-skilled teenager"
The entire point to Ruby's character and partially the entire series is how much of a prodigy fighter she is. I honestly expected her to 1v1 Tyrian mid-fight to show off her skill.
Nora and Ren haven't really displayed their power scale or skill to their fullest extend since we never seen a specific battle with them, but they're implied to be around Ruby's mastery of fighting.
>The new combat animations are so sluggish and unweighted. No momentum, no attack combos/chains, no weight to the characters. Monty's style in these areas was impeccable.
I agree with this. This is like how Nostalgia Critic referred to as junkfood animation. If you just keep a constantly flow of fighting, you feel like they're doing right when they aren't. There weren't any memorable moments in this fight except Tyrian's scorpion tail as like you said, made little sense.

New plan, everyone buy some shields.
Grayson Baker
some people have really shit taste. I imagine between their VIP membership and Zone are the only things keeping Hentaikey going anymore.
James Evans
I'm still trying to figure out what Qrow's plan is.
He basically tricks Ruby into going to Mistral even though Cinder isn't even there, doesn't tell her the truth about anything he's sending her to fight against, and then silently tails them, only to have to rescue them the instant they ran into an enemy.
If he wanted her to go on a training trip why didn't he just take her himself?
Luke Evans
This is your fault RWBYg.
Nolan Garcia
She's a prodigy, but she still only skipped two years of school, to go to another school where she'd be taught how to fight for another four years As it is, she didn't even finish a single year at Beacon, and went out into the world. Tyrion, by comparison, has been fighting longer than Ruby has been alive. Prodigy just means "talented beyond their years", not unbeatable by actual experience
Charles Bennett
No, that's Ozpin.
I wouldn't kick Ironwood out of bed, though.
Julian Parker
Because they're relatively cheap. Commissioning quality artists to do entire comics in color could get REALLY fucking expensive.
Hunter Morgan

Dylan Walker
Sorry, I was too busy being pissed off about RT's fucking scam that they call a "subscription" to care for those little side stories.
That would've been the dumbest shit ever. I rather see Qrow reveal his reason on why he's following throughout these episodes than Jaune reveal his semblance randomly.
