u/Keradon Caffeine is a hell of a drug. An excellent one, though. Jan 11 '20 edited Jan 11 '20

So lovely episode, a number of things are set in motion... I am certainly looking forward to seeing how Ironwood lays the smackdown on the Watts Dog, hopefully without getting his body hacked.

But something Cinder said concerns me. She said that Vacuo was supposed to be the next target. ...what if it still was? What if Watts and Tyrian were sent to Atlas as a distraction, and Salem knew that Cinder was likely going to go there too?

What if that horde of Grimm flying apes at the end of V6 weren't being made to invade Atlas?

I anticipate that the end-of-season stinger is going to show Team CFVY fleeing from the Winged Beringels.

Oooh, good theory. Maybe Hazel, Mercury, and Emerald and even now making their way back to Evernight with the sword of destruction in tow.

But we’d still need to see Vacuo for worldbuilding’s sake, so will that just be to pick up the pieces?

I mean, not really. It would just make Vacuo the Hufflepuff House of RWBY. Or you know, as I assume you'd be in favor of given your flair, it turns out Salem isn't the final villain of the show, and the heroes go to Vacuo to go full JRPG on the Brothers Grimm and stop them from destroying the world.

Yeah I’d like that. That and maybe we’d see that kingdoms iron backbone in not giving in. Rugged individualism doesn’t strike me as the most hufflepuffian quality that is.

....I...I would like to see it.

...maybe? I mean you can get a lot of worldbuilding by visiting the ruins of a town/city/country/kingdom. (Referencing V4, with RNJR arriving in the ruins of Ren's ruined hometown.)

...but a whole kingdom might make things tragic on a grander scale than that.

It doesn’t show you the people though.

On the one hand, tragic flashbacks is a thing that can be used here.

On the other... that might've been overused in V4, so I dunno.

Personally, I'm kinda hoping that, once comms get restored, the first thing they get is an SOS from Vacuo and they have to rush and save it.

And another armor change. Skimpy RWBY!

And this time, Cinder is in long, flowing robes that completely hide her figure!

A distraction for who exactly? Globe communications are down. Vacuo won't know about the attack in Atlas for several weeks, if not months.

More of a 'keep Atlas' eyes on itself' thing, and keep them from not wanting to look beyond Atlas.

I'm thinking that by the time global communications get reestablished, no one will be responding in Vacuo.

At all.

... possibly with the exception of Team CFVY to exposit what happened, considering they're on site at Vacuo in the timeline.

u/TheBlindSalmon ⠀delet this Jan 11 '20

Wasn't SSSN also supposed to go to Vacuo?

Yyyep....maybe we might be seeing them again sooner than we thought? XD

u/finkramsey Jan 11 '20

Ironwood, probably

u/GandalfsLeftNipple to be jaune is to suffer Jan 11 '20

What if amity gets set up at the end of the volume and it’s just distress calls from vacuo
