i contend that the first shot we get of atlas in episode two is one of the best in the entire series

seriously why do people complain about the writing for these seasons? The Atlas arc is RWBY at it's most dynamic and frenetic.

Pennyis alive cause she is an android. As long as her core is undamaged or it gets backed up she can be rebuilt. Pyra was only human and got vaporized. Shes gone unless the gold god dude decides to bring her back. But I hope not cause then her death would be meanlingless.

This volume and 8 are where it gets bad for the writing but there are some cool ideas in it still.

Bad take, I think season 7-8 are some of the best writing in the series. The series didn't have much real story before these seasons. I think season four was the worst for writing.

That's certainly one opinion. There are a couple of quibbles I have with it here and there, but over all it's still great. Sadly, too many in the fandom take the show too personally and feel entitled to -their own- ideas of how it should work out. Just because something isn't written like you would do it, doesn't mean that it's bad writing.

Pietro didn't say Atlas codes were stolen and used, he said the Atlas security code (as in the software) got dismantled. As a hint, try to think of who we know that is a genius and has been said to have come from Atlas.

My favorite character is probably General Ironwood at the end of the day i just feel like he is the most human. That hug he gives Qrow gets to me man. Just imagine the stress he had to be going through to push his type of character to hug another person like that XD

Penny's resurrection is the big thing you somehow avoided spoiling yourselves on when you accidentally reacted to way too many trailers.

This is why when a robot character in a show “dies”, you ALWAYS take the pieces to see if you can rebuild them. Penny saved is a Penny earned.

Of all the comparisons, I'm surprised none of you guys were reminded of FF7 when it came to Mantle and Atlas. I genuinely think Midgar/FF7 had to have some influence on the concept behind these two volumes, which is probably why I enjoy them so much.
Personally Volumes 7 and 8 are brilliantly written, and have a lot of plot elements I enjoy in shows. Volume 9 is probably where I wasn't super into it, but it's also still good. Really hope we get a Volume 10 soon!

I like to think Qrow’s voice is missing that gravel because he stopped drinking finally. Also makes narrative sense for the voice actor change.

Thats not how that works, for instance Mariah Carry and Miley Cyrus have permanently damaged vocal cords from drinking too much. it's just a VA change and that's ok...I say through gritted teeth because Vic is a goat
