RWBY V8: Episode 10 Ultimatum, my reaction below:
Oh my a warning!
Ironwood is looking ominous, ships are flying, great shot composition.
Terrified Specialists reporting, Jac is still alive, Robyn & Qrow have escaped, Ironwood is pissed, dang watching Qrow tackle someone as a bird was both hilarious and oddly intense, cool stealth take down.
His soldiers are clearly terrified & he’s zeroed in on Qrow, dang, what does Robyn gotta do to get on the watch list Ironwood XD
Interesting use of the building tension then sudden stop and WHAT THE FLYING FUCK OSCAR!?
He blew the fucking whale up!? And all the other Grimm?! Can Ozpin usually do this!?
Also Vine trying to comfort Elm but being rejected, Marrow is very upset, seriously what just happened!?
Yeesh Ironwood, no rest for the wicked huh?
Huh, there’s still some of Monstra left, and wow, Watts sounds nervous.
Watching Cinder & Watts back and forth is quite fun, its rare either deals with someone that feels they are on an even laying field with the other, but Cinder obviously hates it & Watts clearly thinks little of her. Interesting stuff with the virus and context.
Wow that was an epic speech and lead up Cinder, seriously, very cool, and then just like with Ironwood, she gets the wind sucked out of her sails.
Wow, this is legit a pretty epic rant, like total bastard, but also not bereft of points, this has clearly been building up for awhile.
...
Holy shit, Cinder’s crying.
Also Watt’s brain finally caught up with his mouth it seems.
Dang no teary “I thought you were dead reunion” for the bees ><
Wow, those Scrolls/Weiss are good.
Also oof, Emerald, also Oscar is not having a good day, nor is Emerald again, yeesh, I mean I get it, but still, girl needs a hug.
Ooh neat divide there in the groups, and eeey they brought up Ozpin, though dang it Oscar, don’t make up lies for him!
Nice subtle shift in the situation, and oof, that crowd scene hits heavy.
Ironwood looking frantic!
Oh, OK, so he plans to torture the kids. Classy Ironwood, classy, Oscar was right you & Salem have a lot in common.
Oh wow so that did come back up, hah, oh dear,, ooooh dear.
Well he’s still got some arms, I’ll give him that, also a temper, such a ‘rational’ man Ironwood is (Rolls eyes)
OK, Ironwood is clearly becoming unhinged, I suppose several days of no sleep will exacerbate pre-existing issues, and unlike the other characters he has no one who will call him on his shit, Atlas you are so fuuuuckeeeeed.
Holy shit Neo stol the Lamp to use as leverage against Cinder!

Ooooh Ruby was ready to cut!
What the fuck Ironwood, this is terrifying!
Ironwood really has long since fallen down the hole of “The more morally fucked up my actions are the more rational and pragmatic I am.”
Heeey Nora’s back up, and Penny’s still out and the evacuation hs been brought low, wow, that brief moment of calm was appreciated but damn, this sting so good, and also reminds me that, oh yeah, Ironwood was described as the primary villain of this volume, so, haha, oh my.

Let’s look at Salems strategy for Atlas, because really, it’s quite amazing how simple it is.
Step one: Send Watts and Tyrian in to make trouble in Mantle. This is just softening the ground a little for her and stressing Ironwood out by making him focus on shit he doesn’t really care about. The thing is, if it failed? Wouldn’t hurt Salem any.
Bonus Step: Manifest in Ironwoods office and fuck with his head. This wasn’t part of the plan, just a target of opportunity. But it worked brilliantly, as Ironwood proceeds to freak out, turtle up, abandon Mantle (Important for later), and turn on his allies. Which left them hilariously unprepared for steps two and three.
Step Two: Show up with Monstra and lots of Grimm. Big, flashy, gets attention. As an added benefit, the results on the bonus step mean that Ironwood is more focused on Penny than sending the fleet out to engage the Whale. Which is good, because everyone is looking at Monstra when...
Step Three: The Grimm river eats through the ground to Mantle, then launches itself onto Atlas, enabling Salem to take down the shields. No one was watching Mantle at the best of times, and she’d drawn even more attention away with the last three steps. Plus, who expects a river to jump up and attack a flying island?
Step Four: Monstra makes landfall. If the river couldn’t penetrate the shields, I suspect Monstra would have pressed the attack anyway, but now it can directly crashland on Atlas’s farmland, which not only gives it plenty of space to puke up grimmstuff, it means that Atlas is SCREWED without foreign aid.
Step Five: Puke up grimmstuff everywhere, zerg rush with every monster Salem can create.
With the exception of Monstra, none of the steps in her plan were critical. If something went wrong, she could abandon that step. And I’m still not entirely sure she didn’t have a Monstra failsafe. Hell, the river of Grimm could probably do if need be. Really, she’s GOOD at this. Ironwood was outmatched before the fight even began, and that’s before you take into account his issues.

Haha. Eddy and Neath are really trying to drive us into an early grave, huh?
I hope more people will take the time to watch RWBY: The Grimm Campaign though. It's not just a fun show but it's just fun to watch how much fun the cast are having with making it.
Also more awe inspiring concept art from Sana Freeman.

Well we’re seeing Mantle and everyone’s reactions and oof, that is depressing and horrific, Fiona is crying you bastard!!!
Huh so he’s keeping Winter, for now, and the Ace-Ops are trying to justify their terrible decisions, classic “I was just following orders” types you lot.
Heyo Marrow, call him out! Oooh, is Harriet being protective, pissed off or both XD Vine you bootlicker!
Good on you Marrow! Now next time actually kill the fucker rather than trusting him not to shoot you, but hey good on ya Winter!
Now even the other Ace-Ops save maybe Harriet be looking scared!
ooh meeting time, haha, Emerald just leaning against the wall like the edgy team member.
Wow even Ruby feels helpless, this is wearing on her, and oof, Emerald is legit scared of being hit.
SISSSTERS!!!!
Heyo the badass scars are staying Aah Nora honey I’m sorry you feel that way!
Yes, yes, yes, its exactly as we said, Ren was blaming their problems on hi own weakness, so he pushed them out to try and focus on gaining his own strength, aaaah, I love it!
Jaune you are a part of this too get back in there!

Ah so that’s what happened, I guess Nora wasn’t an escaped slave, oh well.
Good on you Nora, I love ot see it!
Also boop, yes, boop is cute, goodness, aah!
Jailbirds back in action!
Good speech Robyn, I like it and who is that!?
Wow, Ruby is... Really beaten down, this is hard to watch but so good, love how Yang is trying to handle this and they mentioned SUMMER!
I am adoring this back and forth, very loud on the themes for the people int he back, its so good!
Penny broke the window, and eey Emerald helping out, I love it! Good strategic use of Jaune.
Holy shit, Penny’s self sacrificial streak is really bad.
:O
I can’t believe it!
They fixed it!
That was so fucking clever!
AAAAAAAHHH CUDDLES!
Emerald gave her first rallying speech, its so cute!
OK they've got the unspoken plan guarantee, Watts is doing something to spy and Neo has arrived with a smirking Cinder accounted for, what is happening!?

Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! If Red actually starts watching RWBY and starts referencing it in her videos I will scream! XD
I KNOW RIGHT?!
I have been wanting her to bring up RWBY so much in her trope talks.
Like, she is going over a trope and I just think "Oh, this sounds like this in RWBY!"
Like the most recent example was her video on "Tragedy" and I am sure all of us can pin that to Ironwood's whole story.

No lie, I think that OSP addressing the themes in RWBY would be spectacular.
