Before, I never had a real opinion on Adam’s death, but now, I can appreciate what it adds to the series a whole.
This review was thought out and written very well. I hope to read more like it in the future.
I am going to be very blunt with what I say here. Shit makes excellent fertilizer. We all encounter it as we grow, and depending on us how we react to it, determines how we grow. We are seeds, buried deep with the need to grow to the light and the need to reach deep water with a complication of free will on how to get to both. That shit we encounter on the way to grow, we either go far and wide to avoidnit, dig out way back down to run, or trudge through it and hope we make it through stronger for. This got long and ranty so I apologise for that, but people need to realize that episodes like these, the entirety of a show like this, shows that struggle with growth and how friendship through what would cripple an individual, would strengthen and embolden us if we go together!
Any way, love this community and keep kicking butt AAOG Team!
I wish he was one to be redeemed. He was a broken soul. As much as he has done. A redemption was needed. It makes me sad to see an abuse victim turn into an abuser. Im not saying have blake and yang forgive adam. Im saying adam put down his weapon and walk away. Self reflect and get help. There are many villains who cant be redeemed. But adam wasnt one of them. There was a possibility there. If his past was brought up maybe a conversation would of broken out and have him freeze. The pain ate him and drove him insane but i hoped that would end. My way of coping with his death is to keep saying that its what he wanted. His decision was to get killed. Like he knew he would of died. Because he finally would be at peace and not have to fight or be reminded of his horrible memories. That the last moment he looked up at the sky he reflected and was reminded of him looking out of the dust mines.
While im sad that Adam went down like that. I am happy that blake and yang was free of the torture and pain they had when Adam was alive. That they dont have to fear him anymore and can focus on there relationship and future as huntresses.
Abuse is a topic that I take really seriously because it’s something I’ve been through. I wish the nitpicky section of the RWBY fandom would understand the effects of abuse on victims and not downplay it. Blake and Whitley are two characters that have been shamed for being abuse victims recently and it disgusts me.
This is a wonderful article and more people need to read it and understand how reality works. I’ll definitely be sharing it all over the place.
