RWBY 6x3 Reaction Early Access!

i guess the moral of the story here is ask the evil brother (that docent get much attention) first lol

I completely disagree with the statement that all of this is Salem's fault. Salem just wanted Ozma back and did everything she could to make that happen. In a world with magic if someone you loved died would you not even try to bring them back? Why does not accepting death make her a villain? The gods arbitrarily decided that humans should be mortal when they clearly had the capability to do otherwise (we see them grant immortality and reverse death). They go on preaching about how humans should just accept their fate of life and death while not having to do so themselves. They're hypocritical assholes with giant egos. The god of darkness was on board with bringing Ozma back because his ego was stroked by Salem asking for his help. He only turned against Salem because once he learned that she had already tried asking his brother for help first he realized he was just being treated as the second choice again. His comments to the god of light prior to him learning of this (about how the agreement between them favored the god of light, ect) clearly reflect an inferiority complex. He's capricious and vengeful while the god of light is a sanctimonious prick. Point being, the gods set this whole situation into motion by setting up the rules how they were and then insisting that the humans live by them whether they liked it or not. Salem challenging that was an attack on their authority and egos. They're tyrants and reacted like tyrants do when they face opposition. Even when Salem gathered humanity to challenge the gods she was acting to free them from the tyranny forced onto them and herself. She may not have relayed the whole truth to those she led, but her other choice was to meekly accept the judgement passed on her for the oh so heinous crime of wanting a loved one brought back to life. In the end she became the heartless monster we see now only through an accident brought about by her attempt to escape the hopeless situation she'd been put in by those same self righteous gods. TLDR; Salem did nothing wrong and the gods are dicks.

osma said how do i destroy Salem so maybe she was talking about that he cant destroy her right was this already discussed cuss this has been out for a long while now so maybe he cant but someone else can

Also undeniable proof that Salem is NOT on the moon. Her lair is in the Land of Darkness where the old God of Darkness lived.

When the God of Darkness destroyed humanity they all turned to dust. Remember the narration in episode one of season one? "Man, born from Dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful." My theory is that something of the old humanity remained in their dust and evolved back into humans over billions of years.

Do u think dust is dead people what the dark god kill

I was thinking the girls survived and them intermingling with normal humans gave birth to semblances? Or maybe it was inside them all along and Ozpin had to teach them because they don't know what magic is?

The story of the flashback was pretty good and well executed. I like that it goes dark sometimes. Salem is a little much in the begening but love make people unreseanable. After immortality I understand the rest although I don't like I'm evil because I fell in a pool that makes me evil. I love the storytelling method. And I appreciate that the brothers actually cooperate with each other rather than cliché rivalry. They feel like actual brothers. Reminds me supernatural. But where the F did this new humanity come from? The god made sure to destroy everyone except salem. Also considering they are immortal I would probably sspend a couple thousands years to see if I can fix humanity before considering bringing the gods back.

I find it interesting that you compared Salem to Pandora, since Pandora was specifically made by the gods as a punishment to men. She was the first woman and she unleashed the contents of her 'box' on the men deliberately, destroying the paradise that had existed previously. She was also described as being evil, but what made her evil was that she was pretty, but also smart - that was it. The guy who wrote the story of Pandora had serious issues with women. TLDR: Watch Overly Sarcastic Productions' video on Pandora, its a better summery than this.

Most important fact that Kerry pointed out is this is ep. 69. Nice

Haven't seen the rest of season yet but If you don't want the wishes/questions in the wrong hands and your plans is to keep them hidden forever. Ask 3 stupid questions before hiding them. That's the first thing that came to me and I hope they mention why it wasn't done as I go along.

Also, I'm really glad Rick joined these reactions. He's great!

Damn, Eric out here looking like Shane watching the Walking Dead, straining to hear everything

Incoming text wall!!! Number 1: The maidens are not related to his children in any way. Ozpin states that creating the maidens drained him of most of his power. The story they told of the wizard was probably how it happened. He had all his power and eventually decided to empower 4 "maidens" with some of it and drained himself in the process. Number 2: I don't think humans "evolved" again. I think it's more like the God of Light eventually restored a portion of humanity. Otherwise, Salem was around for hundreds of thousands of years....by herself. Number 3: I can no longer see Salem as the Villain. I see her as a victim of the gods. She was a grieving woman who had the only person who ever loved her die. The gods were selfish and childish. The god of light told her no, but never said anything about not asking the god of darkness. According to the god's themselves, they are supposed to be equals. She had every right to ask the other if one denied her and she never lied to Darkness. She simply did not bring up the fact that she had already spoken to his brother. So she gets Ozma back, feels a small measure of happiness and hope only for it to be taken from her....then given back...then taken away again....a grieving woman is essentially emotionally tortured and then told that her "punishment" is to never have the chance to be with her love again, taking the last small bit of comfort she had left. It's no wonder she wanted vengeance on them. I think most would have. Then the GoD kills ALL of humanity because a small number attacked him. That is pure pettiness. Regarding all of the evil she's committed since....well Jinn did say that the pool of darkness transformed her into a creature that could only desire destruction. Losing Ozma a final time in what she probably saw as a betrayal, likely destroyed the last bit of compassion she had. She now exists to only torment Ozpin and I think Jinn is right. Salem cannot be "defeated", but more likely she has to be "saved". Perhaps they use the water from the pool of creation to purify her and remove the taint that has taken her over? I have too much time on my hands and am way too invested in this show....I apologize profusely.

I’ve watched this episode so many times at this point, only now did I realize why the pool of light probably doesn’t exist anymore, it got hit with a piece of the moon!

thoughts... if Salem is the "witch" is she going to melt with the Water from the pool of life ?

It’s finally here!!

I'm still caught on the fact that Jinn said "You can't." As in, Ozpin can't.

#SalemDidNothingWrong

Yeah I'm glad Rick agreed with wording problem of his question

It’s not wishes though. It’s questions. Ask a question and it will answer

I assume Salem's goal is to gather all of the relics together, which will summon the gods, humanity will be judged as not redeemed, the world will be destroyed, and Salem can finally die (or if not die, she will have brought about immense destruction upon humanity.)

Probably my favorite episode of the entire series

Aw yeah time for my favorite episode this season.

Just as a note, no future spoilers, but it's still hotly debated whether or not the children of Oz and Salem ARE in fact the Maidens. My personal belief/theory is that they are not. They ARE however what sets in motion the creation of the Maidens. After the battle, Oz goes into a depression. I think that the whole 4 Maidens WoR is still true, and that the 4 women also reminded Oz of his own children and what they could have been if he had not been foolish and got them killed, getting him out of his depression and back to his task, and gifting them powers to continue to bring humanity together.

I am watching this for the first time, so no spoilers please, but I kinda symphatize with Salem. The gods seem like dicks in a way ("experiment", killing everybody, judging them). I also don't see what benefit it would have to bring them back, and risk judgement, when you could just live withoutthem. It's not like they magically make anything better.

He just trying to get her to be good

I personally like to think that dust comes from the literal dusting of ancient humanity. Like think about it when the god of darkness killed everyone they all turned to dust. So i think it would be cool if dust is the remnants of ancient humanity and its magic that's why it has magical properties. Also if you guys remember some of the early World of Remnant videos talk about the King of vale who ended the last great war among the four kingdoms, and what did his picture have? A crown (relic of choice) a sword (relic of destruction) and a staff (relic of creation). we can also assume he had the relic of knowledge. its just a cool thought that in a previous life Ozpin was the king of Vale.

So speaking of skirting around wishes, in Dungeons and Dragons my party was granted a wish each, so I waited until the rest of my party finished making wishes and then wished "I wish I also received what each of my party members wished for" and it was fantastic.

Narrator: "their loved ones wither and die" Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you.

#Ozpindidnothingwrong

Ozma: Salem, I don't feel so good.

This episode blew everybody’s mind🤯🤯🤯
