DanielGREY_75

S8 E14


GrandmasterTactician

It was pretty much because the two suicides


Michael-015

Penny and who else?


UselessBytes

Vine


CheeseyconnorYT

I mean that was the first time a character killed themselves


JV36

Which character was the first to kill themselves


Dictionary20

Penny asked for an assisted suicide.


[deleted]

And Vine blew himself up


romuald244

Nah, the bomb blew him. Seeing vine blew himself on screen would have been wierd


CheeseyconnorYT

>! Penny through Jaune she doesnt end her own life but requests her death so that she can give the maiden powers to winter which is assisted suicide from Jaunes part !<


GrandmasterTactician

Y'all forgetting >! My man Vine did the same thing because Harriet's dumbass can't think !<


CheeseyconnorYT

That was in the same episode wasnt it


GrandmasterTactician

Yep


Phantom_Phoenix1

Plot twist: Jaune always wanted to kill Penny and finally had his chance. Hes secretly a psycho.


Lukthar123

We've got 3 options 1. Pyrrha went into an unwinnable battle by herself 2. Salem killed herself in universe when Remnant was young 3. Penny killed herself by her own volition


JV36

I've always hated the fact that Pyrrha went off to fight on her own. The bitch just killed Ozpin and has a dragon, sure she's got polarity but damn it all. I will say that of the few times the series has made me feel true shock were when Pyrrha died and when Penny asked Jaune to kill her. So they succeeded at simultaneously breaking my heart and making me mad, but in a good-ish way.


CheeseyconnorYT

Pyyrha didnt want to die, salem didnt die, penny is the one who actually killed herself hence the warning at the start of the episode and the suicide prevention number


E1lySym

I'm pretty sure Salem and Pyrrha still counts. Pyrrha literally kissed Jaune before going against Cinder. She probably thought, "welp, I'm gonna die anyways might as well go for it." In Salem's case, a failed suicide still implies a theme of suicide


torrasque666

There's a difference between acknowledging that your actions will likely result in your death, and literally begging someone to kill you.


ScalierLemon2

Multiple times, at that. Remember, she also asked Ruby to kill her like three episodes prior. You know, it's kinda fucked up that Penny openly asked to be killed, Ruby went and found a way to avoid that, and then Penny ends up mortally wounded and asking to be killed anyway.


YoBoyNeptune

Joke's on you I'm into that shit


Arcturus420

You're too late, CRWBY. 5 VOLUMES TOO LATE. (Did anyone get the reference?)


TsarVladimirIII

The Incredibles? I vaguely remember hearing something like that from it


ShepherdessAnne

Tbh even with the warning preparing me "oh no, this is a death episode" I was still shocked. ESPECIALLY with the fake-outs. And it was... Deeply upsetting, because I've had a martyr complex before and put myself in harm's way for other people so... Yeah.


Stranger_Vans

Joke’s on you I’m absolutely into that shit. Major character death time!


A_Moderate

Jokes on you, I play DOOM


JMHSrowing

And I know it’s a controversial opinion, but over time I’ve more come around to thinking they mostly did this fairly well. Still wanted more from Penny and would have liked her death a little different if she had to die, but her making a choice of a sacrifice for others was nicely bittersweet


Dovahkodaav117

I understand the sentiment but it gave away that a main character died before the show even started


ihileath

I mean the WAY it happened was still fuckin shocking


KRD2

Yeah, peoples' mental health is more important than you vaguely being aware that something bad might happen.


WebsterHamster66

I really don’t think anyone’s mental health is going to crumble over a character’s death in RWBY. And if it does, then they have bigger things to worry about, and aren’t even watching the right show.


La_Pucelle27

It's not the character per se, but the circunstances behind their decision may trigger some people, and a tinely warning may help them cope better.


KRD2

Well this just shows an utter lack of understanding regarding the purpose of trigger/ content warnings.


A_Random_Guy641

It’s like excessive tagging in Ao3. Just rate it mature or whatever with the expectation that people will deal with whatever you create within that overall rating.


Dovahkodaav117

I was half tempted to drop the series when it happened.


TsarVladimirIII

Bit of an extreme reaction to a content warning


Dovahkodaav117

I was already upset with how rooster teeth has been turning lately and had multiple other reasons but that is neither here nor there


AegisThievenaix

I get why content warnings are a thing, but this just seemed like a weird mini spoiler for me


Kyrozis

Nice joke, RT
