Wet Hades once Again!!!
2:52 one of my favorite musical motifs in the show. The Atlas Military motif 🎶
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
That cut of critical role had me dying 😂😂😂
'Shut up don't touch me' and then hugging Ruby is a gem 😂
This episode's music is by Alex Abraham, Steve Goldshein, & Jeff Williams!
I forgot how well the show establishes the basics of Ironwood's character in one go… Also yay for "exchange students"! They're certainly only interested in making friends, right?

Man that intro took me out 😂. The ruthlessness blasting and then seeing Neal’s Poseidon in the background 😂😂
I don't want to complain, but I do feel the need to file a complaint. Sol? Soul? Roger? How do we write your name? I freaking LOVE your edits! Generally I tend to watch OAR (and the individual videos) on patreon AND youtube, because all you editors truly bring in a second layer of comedy (and often info) that tickles my brain in all the right places. And your specific flavor of edits perfectly fits into my cupboard of stuff I like. BUT! I think you have to check the audio levels. The audio for the character cards is so much louder than the rest of the video. I freaking adore these cards, but everytime they come on, I get a mini heart attack. And I know not to watch these videos, if my roommate already went to bed or feels poorly, because of these audio bursts. Now, this is a neurospicy household, and we're both quite sensitive when it comes to audio stuff. It might just be us. And if I'm the only one who feels like that, then that's fine and I havn't said anything. But it is something I keep noticing negatively, and if others have these issues too, then it might be worth checking the audio levels.
Another great episode, y'all! Lots of great stuff this volume, looking ahead I was a bit surprised at how many cool things are just around the corner. I'll certainly be here every week.
That boardgame has generated so much conversation over the years…. now more than ever.
Where can I watch the volumes at high quality?
It's a shame that we are skipping the World of Remnant episodes. Hopefully they watch them at least on their own time.
The funny part for me is Neptune calling Weiss snow angel just after saying he is from Haven (heaven), this work by itself but with the callback to Jaune make it even better.
Also, yeah "intellectual" huh… sure that have aged well lol.
Hi can you react to Hi StellaLuna’s animatic of Odysseus
Fun fact: Ozpin always drinks hot chocolate, not coffee…meaning Ironwood accidentally reinvented Black Forest Cake, now as a drink.
Blake’s interrogation with Ozpin is HILARIOUS in hindsight — no spoilers, for Casper and any new viewers, but…
…well, it’s for the same reason “it’s heiress, actually” becomes really funny and gorgeously bitchy.
More RWBY LETSSS GOOO!!!
This RWBY reaction series is like the closest I've come to getting to be introduced to a new thing by someone else and it's honestly so great. I watch a new episode each week on the day before its corresponding reaction video appears on OAR, and so I get to experience the episode myself (I laughed so much during this one 😂) and then the next day I learn new insights and find out stuff I missed thanks to Mortius! (Also I thought Vacuo's kingdom name was "Vacuole" when I first heard it lol – dang my biology nerd brain!)
Casper is never beating the allegations
They are really good at adding and mixing up those musical comps in this show.
You know, I’ve never considered how brilliant the card game world building is.
I love these moments where characters just get to be goofy. While also giving us subtle world-building.
Mortius, you've GOT to show him the World of Remnant episodes too, they started at some point during Volume 2, if I'm not mistaken, and they'll explain the world a lot better than the regular episodes do themselves.
12:57 Yooooo assassination classroom!
9:13
(Vaugely spoilery for later volumes of RWBY)
That’s a really interesting parallel. I’m curious to go back through with you guys and view him from that perspective.
Also, the first line that popped into my head was Eury’s from “Puppeteer”:
“Let’s just cut our losses, you and I, and let’s run.”
A tidbit of good dialogue that I thought was left unmentioned here, was how Blake said "I want people to see me for who I am, not what I am." while Sun said in the previous episode "And the best thing about her? She's a Faunus!" fully contrasting how Blake wants to be perceived by others.
Beacon It's not really military school, it's more like mercenery school with a touch of public servant
Hey love this video if you read comments please please please react to "ODYSSEUS | EPIC: The Musical Animatic [FULL VERSION]" by Hi StellaLuna this has to be hands down the best one I've ever seen i loved every second of it
This is the first time I've heard Morty sing and whew, you've got some pipes sir
2:47 omg exu:c jumpscare we love to see it
The Academies are also a university :3c
Loved picking up the Penny created as a weapon insight.
Keep in mind Ironwood doesn't actually have a plan, he just wants to wave his metaphorical military dick without thinking about the implications.
Yang being super strategic in the game scene is way too slept on, as is the fact she only lost to Neptune due to being so cautious.
I missed Nora's pancake line! XD
Oooh called out XD
"I love it when you're feisty."
On thing I think often gets glossed over when discussing the writing, is that Miles Luna is actually white passing and not white, so the fact the Faunus character facing discrimination can and does opt to pass is likely reflective of him writing to his own experiences.
RWBY CONTENT IN THIS ECONOMY??? THANK YOU??
The most intriguing aspect of Ironwood to me in this volume is his whole thing about making a show of strength with all of his military ships and other hardware. It certainly fits the kind of mindset you'd expect from a general, but remember that opening monologue Jen Taylor did for the start of volume 1? "But take heed: there will be no victory in strength", she says. So either Ironwood is not in possession of all the information, or he's in denial.
I love this episode of volume two for many reasons. The dialogue is on point, snappy, and comedic. Not to mention you get Weiss being absolutely iconic with not only the board game but the balancing on the chair moment.
And then you have the danger trio coming to Beacon and like always Cinder has that sibilant note when she looks at Ruby, like a rattlesnake or the heat haze of summer or something.
Hi Mortius and Casper! I was just wondering if you woukd be doing reactions to anything else by Lin-Manuel Miranda. If you are, is it alright if I suggest a couple of mysicals? There's In the Heights and Bring it On: the Musical (Lin co-wrote the music with Tom Kitt and the lyrics with Amanda Green).
Snow Angel yeesh, laying it on thick Neptune, lmao. I forgot about that scene. Although it did remind me that for some reason the only RWBY fic I've ever written was a Weiss x Neptune one shot. It was surprisingly less cringe to reread than I feared
O loved this once but the show just like hectors son falls off
I was wondering if it's possible if we could ever get a Dear evan Hansen reaction??? Especially for 'Waving Through A Window' (i dont think they'll see this #i_tried)
Idk if this is a good place to suggest something but whenever you guys look for a new musical, you should try listening to Come From Away! It’s a tearjerker and it’s based on a true story. Anyway! That’s all I wanted to say!
Ok guys duvetbox has just dropped Odysseus animatic I recommend it
