Blake's semblance is probably the most egregious example of doing whatever for the plot, established canon be damned

In V2, Blake herself says her semblance is leaving behind an empty copy of herself to take the hit while she retreats, but there's plenty of instances where her clones act more like the shadow clones from Naruto (see V4C3 where she uses a clone to propel herself) instead of a decoy as described. It even retains her whole image despite every other clone being a shadow silhouette

There's also times where she seems to teleport away from her clones rather than it peeling away from her body, such as the V3 and V6 fights with Adam. He's like. 2 feet away in both cases and the waterfall fight is literally on a flat open rock, yet ShawLuna expect me to believe he wouldn't see Blake slipping a clone in her place?

V3 I can let slide because that scene is awesome, but V6 has zero cool points to hide this garbage behind

#rwde #recapping all of rwby in stylized prose is painful but nowhere near as rewatching the white fang plot #cant help but remember lindsay ellis talking abt got and saying 'its not fun rewatching old seasons knowing where it ends' #cant get excited for v1s dust plot bc it gets dropped #cant get excited for yangs issues with raven bc that gets shot in the face TWICE #cant get excited for any potential repercussions for v3s many aspects bc theyre ignored or 'too boring' #the list goes on and on and on #also i finally figured out why i hate rwbys hands #they got no fingernails!! fingers are just sausages slapped onto a textureless mass #ewgh
