Her name clearly evokes Belle. The whole “she both beauty and beast” thing is purely because she’s a faunus. Which is probably an in-universe racism.

[@books2438]

@@justeliwood2289It’s not that Adam isn’t the Beast, it’s not that Blake isn’t the Beauty, it’s that fiction can be interpreted in many different ways and yes, you can make the argument that Blake represents both the Beauty and the Beast. I’m not sure of what the other person’s point was, but it’s not about her being a faunus, it’s about her personality. Her guilt for her past actions and need to redeem herself are closer to the Beast’s story than to Belle’s. She hides who she is, a faunus, just as the Beast hides himself. They are both scared of being known, and their arcs are about letting other people in. This duality is what makes her interesting. Stop thinking strictly in binaries. Art is more nuanced than that.

[@ReiseLukas]

Indeed, frankly, the entire story is done dirty to me. So much potential wasted.

[@JaySki2222]

True but i think they're doing what Monty said about like "looks first story second" but the thing is only the graphics have went up but all the cool scenes have stayed in volume 1-3. The coolest part that's happened for me since Monty and Shane stopped working on it with the other animatoes is Tyrian vs Qrow when Tyrian blocks Nora and Ren's hit and counters it. It's been so long and they haven't found their own style and it's sad to see this, they sometimes have good ideas but they never look cool since it's 3d, really. 3d anime is hard to pull off cause 3d doesn't really look that cool unless you're good at what you're doing and RT def isn't in my op

[@ReiseLukas]

@@JaySki2222 Rooster Teeth's forte was comedy, just look at Red vs Blue, but they are lacking in serious writing. I agree with on the Monty part that RWBY was made for the awesome fights and animation front and center over story. However even with that as a focus it still has insane potential that's being wasted. I'm currently starting a remake writing project that perseveres all the essential aspects of what makes it RWBY but improving on the story, characters and the structure that are already in place

[@JaySki2222]

@@ReiseLukas true potential was majorly wasted and tbh if they kept the "cool" in the story they would've thought not to ruin so much characters since what happened to Adam wasn't cool... it was boring and if that ever happened to another character that was hyped up like him I also don't like how the weaken other characters to make the main characters look stronger like Mercury and Tyrian, RWBY vs Em and Merc (Hazel was the one hyped up there too, him catching JNR on dumb shit) etc If i was RT I would give the mfs working on RWBY a long break where they learn their own styles, think about how much they messed up and what they did good and try to make that show better I gotta give em props for v7, it did look kinda better and Ironwood was a very realistic and sympathetic character (tbfh i was rooting for him) that's where we saw how unlike-able RWBY was though tbh like they were entitled, always thought they were right etc and (tbh we do see that kinda in v8 also but the writing fell there, we also see it in other volumes but due to other characters being much more understandable, last time it was really Jacques being understandably mad at Weiss for assaulting an innocent patron even though he is an asshole he was right) honestly though I do feel like RWBY can't be fixed unless they delete like V5-V8, even if I believe v4 was poo and it still made Ruby look like an ass it was a good start for a group that lost what made the show good Ah shit i think i went around in circles I'm dead tired, also i don't get notifs so i didn't know you answered lol mb

Were breaking free. Ots called a power grid. It maintains power over us. It was sold to lower beings as being good. Look, a light. Bulb, you dont need candles, and it spread. Then even worse, internet. Then even worse, wifi which is in airwaves. Forced thoughts. All we could do is watch in horror as the humans were bamboozled. And we are not allowed to use powers on them. Well, we we'rent for a time. But to stop them from destroying themselves and eachother, do what must be done. When this grid is gone, and it will be gone, all shall be revealed.

I don’t remember if I randomly clicked a video of this song or if I watched some MAP or AMV (years ago) but this suddenly was stuck in my head and I had to seek it out! And no I’m not into RWBY

[@MasquedJustice]

this shit hits so different. i hate what they did to adam, and i hate being called a stan just for having that opinion. he has a very painful and personal relationship with the discrimination of his people, and we know that because of the branding on his eye. we don't get to know his full back story, but we know enough to know why he's so determined to fight against humanity and so ruthless in his ways. he has a solid reason to go on that war path, and while it's not entirely right, it's not entirely wrong either. it's a very nuanced situation that shouldn't have ended the way it did. but since adam was an antagonist to our heros, RT thought that meant he had to be a villain, even though those two aren't always the same thing. and since he had to be a villain, they thought they had to make him unlikeable, so they forced an abuser status onto him since we're not allowed to have mixed feelings about our antagonists. they also just wrote racism out of the story entirely to make it seem like adam's pain was trivial and his ways were unfounded, which is just a terrible way to handle that theme

[@Mark-fc7tu]

Honestly, looking back at iconic RWBY lyrics... there are two kinds of people who embrace the narrative of anti-racism. People who sincerely believe that being anti-racist gives them the freedom to be entitled to respect that isn't earned... And people who view it as ironic, hip, cool, edgy, subversive and trendy because it appeals to the principles of angst and drama and misery lit. It's only as profound as you think it is.

[@overlordvelvet7301]

Adam Taurus had *sooo* much potential but he got wasted due to poor writing... He could've been redeemed. Could've become an anti-hero at least. But nope. After Monty's death and before Volume 3 came out, writers said, "Hey! Let's make Adam known as an abusive ex-boyfriend who can't control his emotions and a crappy leader who's willing to kill his own people if they refused to side with him." If I recall, Adam Taurus was suppose to be a former mentor and friend to Blake. He was the character who fought for his people. He wanted equality and peace. Yes, he was becoming corrupted. I know that. He didn't care about killing innocent people and was ruthless. He was angry and full of hate but a character like that is also suffering deep down and can be helped. His views could've been changed. He still had the potential to change. Could've changed. If only his character was taken care of better...

After rewatching this video, I noticed something. The first verse highlights the difference between Blake and Adam (it's a thin line, but there is a difference), but the second verse shows how Blake is drawn into Adam's White Fang. At least, at the start of the series. It's the little details like these that make me miss Monty all the more. He had a vision and "I sold my soul" RT ruined that vision. Hopefully the Japanese studio retelling RWBY does a better job. I'm skeptical, but then again why do we as a species have "hope"?

[@TheDaisy61]

The best word to describe adam Bitch

[@Zarozian]

Adam was.....he was definitely a diamond in the rough as a character. The greatest heroes and villains are all created from the same kind of tragedy, but it's one slight difference that separates the heroes from the villains, therefore the fine line between a hero and a villain are as thin as the line between madness and genius. One seeks to inflict pain unto those who wronged them in a quest for revenge become the villains, those who seek to prevent what happened to them from happening to others become the heroes. Unfortunately, due to the self-fulfilling prophecy because of that one part of their ideology; "Since they treat us like monsters, then let us become monsters" and as a result, they become no different than the villains who wronged them in the first place. You just end up creating another damn villain over and over again. This is why I despise people who hate Adam. He's one of the more salvageable villains in existence with great complexity and depth. I also see a great similarity to this situation with our current politics. The liberals demonize the conservatives, the left demonizes the right, and every choice and action the opposition makes are no longer required to be understood because after you demonize someone, the reasons for their choice and action is because they are evil and nothing more. It's certainly simpler that way, isn't it? But the real world doesn't work that way because the enemy is also fighting for what they believe is right and no conflict or war has started where one side knew it was wrong! This also brings us back to the motto of RWBY: "Strength will not bring victory." How then do you think they will defeat something unkillable like Salem? Do you Adam-haters really believe that killing Adam will end this endless cycle of hate? No. All your hate for Adam does is generate more hate and retaliation. You are only feeding the fire. The power of friendship and lesbian certainly won't do a damn thing here to erase the hatred and darkness that exists in these villains. Monty's work is meant to show you that there is another way, but this way requires you to empathize with the ones you hate and understand them, but not many of you are willing to do that and not many of you seem to understand that. So now that they've killed off Adam to cater to the SJW audience, I'm done with this series. There is nothing you can learn or take away from RWBY. If only Monty was still here....

It would be the Fall of Beacon over again. It would be wiping humanity of off the planet. Like I said I can't and don't know how to make hate go away. I don't.

The piano at the ends is hauntingly mesmerizing and easily makes this one of my favorite songs in the show.

You know this is more of a theme for the white fang in general.

I think the higher reverb in the 2nd hook is supposed to represent that.

Wait does Adam actually love her or is it just as a family or friend kind? cause he always refers to Blake has 'love' but then he is always trying to kill her...but....I LOVE THE SONG!!!!!

[@kpopoholic_4623]

Tanya youkhana from my knowledge Adam and Blake were in the white fang together assuming they were lovers or at least very close. As seen in Black Trailer, she left him and the white fang. Adam being very pissed at that, and just being evil overall he wants to kill humanity.

[@starchild2900]

You see adam is what we call a "yandere"

[@kenzie4338]

Tanya youkhana He loves her, but he has an extraordinarily warped perception of what love entails.

[@mrroboshadow]

it might just be my imagination but this symbolize's Blake and Adam's relationship in the early seasons perfectly Blake starts out more from an angry but held back tone singing about taking back her people's lost rights but as Adam's lyrics take over her's become more aggressive by the verse up until the remorse of the last minute or so with no lyrics again might just be me thinking way too much about it but i think it fits

[@lukekavanagh9660]

"Oh, we just want to be treated equally!" *Blake has a fucking mansion*

[@msking1000]

Lucas Wolf On a separate island, away from humans, where fanus rule. Now think about that.

[@hallowedbeyourdays]

The human 'civilizations' are fond of symbolic gestures that pretend at concessions. Peace will not bring the parity of opportunity required for economic equality - and the leaders don't speak for the salt of the earth, who are xenophobic by nature. No amount of civil reform will wipe the ugly looks off the faces of the many.

[@hallowedbeyourdays]

What I mean to say with this is, no matter how nice the home they were forced to have is, the kingdoms are still shit. Even as they are in the process of stagnation or outright dying, they continue being shit. There's no way out...

[@chickenjones4434]

I really like how RT made a comparison to Beauty and the Beast. In Beauty and the Beast, all of the good characters wear blue and all the evil characters wear red, and Adam wears red and has red hair showing him as a villain using some of the original mechanics from beauty and the beast.

[@emilyaw3831]

"Call us liars, degenerates and killers, psychos, heartless" Well the shoe certainly does fit Adam

[@strawberryjogurt6134]

Oh the irony... For all seriousness, I think that this was before Adam snapped, in the Black Trailer and the Adam Short, you could tell that even if he was a bad guy, he still cared about the other members, and Blake especially, I think that he became heartless the more he killed and after Blake left.

[@alexisharrington7621]

“Born with no life, into subjection” Sets up all the history with the Faunus being literally slaves at one point and how they’re still fighting for freedom even a millennia later. All of that foreshadowing from a trailer that didn’t even explain what a Faunus was

[@samanthafraize1982]

I see a lot of argument over if Adam is evil or not. I don't think he is. I don't think anybody is truly evil. Adam likely started with Noble goals. He wanted to be seen as equals, not as some lesser being. But, somewhere along the line, he seems to have forgotten that goal and become cruel and dark. If it was only this, though, we would likely see him as a tragic hero: flawed, but still good. However, it's his treatment of Blake that makes me really hate him. Maybe he did love her at one point - maybe in some twisted way he still does - but when she saw he had turned, when she saw she needed to get out and took her chance, his actions didn't show he lived her. They didn't show he cared for her as an equal, a partner. No, it was clear he veiwes her as a possession. He wanted to hurt her (she hurt me first), to punish her, for leaving him. He cut Yang's arm off and showed he was fully willing to love off Blake's head, all for simply leaving him. I've known people like this. They aren't good. Blae is lucky she saw what was happening and got free of him. He, ironically if you think about it, doesn't view Blake as an equal, or even really human, but as a possession, a prize, something to show his power. She is the former leaders daughter, and he liked that affirmation. Just, I've known people like this, and they'll justify their actions (just like Blake said, at first it was an accident, then...) and they'll keep pulling you in until you can't trust anything, and they're toxic. There's always an excuse, and always people willing to believe them. I ask of you, don't allow yourself to be fooled by his web. (Rant over, and sorry for any spelling or Grammer mistakes, I'm on mobile. Feel free to argue back, I love a good debate.)

[@grayblackhelm6468]

L Lawiet I’m glad it didn’t turn out that one of her parents were like this. I’ve been on the bad end of people like this- sounds like you have, too. But I agree. Die as a hero, or live long enough to become the villain. At least Taurus seems to be self aware enough that he is, in fact, “the bad guy”.

[@slateoffate9812]

Well said.

[@your_dar_ling]

Ha no he tried to kill Blake's family.

[@slateoffate9812]

funkydoge Technically, he ordered their deaths.

[@reneebear3641]

Evil describes one's actions, not their intentions. He is very evil, but with noble cause ... I guess?
