RWBY V8E5 LiveThoughts
And now for the last episode before the HUGE break they’re taking. Seriously, February? Damn, whats going on at RT?
It matters not. Lets see what this weeks episode has for us.
And here we see Aminety Colloseum, the place that Atlas SHOULD have weaponized the moment it rolled its way back here. Seriously look at it; floating free away from everything else...you could mount missile launchers and laser batteries and CIWS batteries on it, launch fighters from it, let dropships deploy through its base...a floating aircraft carrier of unprecidented size.
Or maybe turn it into a weapon...use its drive system to focus Dust energy into some kind of gravitational force...thats just me though.
Missed oppertunites...ah well.
You CAN see its been adjusted though, it looks less like the sports arena from its last apperance and more like a floating coms hub, with those dishes on the outside and the huge spire.
Intersetingly if you look in the upper right corner the moon is there but almost completely covered by the storm Salem summoned. Interesting.
Wait why is PEITRO out there? With like...no supports? Seems kinda dangerous to send the weak old dude out there...
...thats a bomb. A Dust bomb in pipe bomb style form but thats very much a bomb. Yes, Penny, danger indeed.
Atmospheric orbit. Ahhh that must be the low-level orbit path that they need to ensure it doesnt loose power. The part where you coast along with almost no drag. Like what the X-15 hit in our world, and punched through at least once.
WAIT WHAT THE HELL IS THAT. Thats some kind of loader mech. THATS A FUCKING UTILITY TITAN. WHEN DID ATLAS GET ONE OF THOSE?!
Also thats a jet engine.
And Maria’s piloting it. To quote Daimon Baird; I know wha thappens when you let an angry chick loose with a power loader.
Multiple bombs...wait. Thats the mine that RWBY fought in with the Aces, the one that almost blew the fuck up. They’re... Oh. I get it now. They’re gonna use the blast to fling Amneity into upper orbit and stabalize it. Clever. Not exactly SAFE, but clever. Just hope the mine doesnt go anywhere important. Those tunnels are going to turn into firestorms.
Cute, she thinks she can stay and help. Trust me, Penny. You’re better off running.
MARIA CASUALLY DOING THE MEXICAN GRANDMOTHER THING WITH HER MECH...THE HIP HAND. MY GOD.
Oh, and his chair has gravity restraints too. They...gonna handle the impact of the launch? I mean thats literally a fuel/air bomb under them. Dust/air...
Well Maria seems alright with it.
OH GOD DAMMIT. Its Cinder isnt it? Fucking bitch...
On the positive side if she DOES hitch a ride then they get a chance to give her the ol’ “Long fall special”. Lets see your maiden powers save you from a fall from near orbit.
Well then, she burned right through the floor. Interesting. Maiden powers or her own, who knows...I do admit seeing her ride the ship in like that is kinda cool.
The eagerness in Cinders remaining eye interest me. Also, even when using maiden powers, her dead eye emits nothing. So that whole parts just gone.
Secondary note, I think they’re standing on the...Shade emblem? Shade is the swords I think. Vale is the axes, Atlas is the staff, Havens the lamp. Doubt it means anything.
Ahhh, okay I was gonna say, that launch was...kinda lackluster. But the blast is being used as a BOOST on top of the four existing external thrusters. Like the yellow emergency turbines on the outside of the Pillar of Autumn in the end cutscene of Halo Reach
Dust explodes in its own individual colors. The blast under them looks like a Pride festival.
Also Penny just going WHAP like that amuses me, whereas Cinder just crouches. Guess she knew what was coming.
I dont see how the blast is helping through...maybe its the pressure wave and we cant see it right.
Now THAT is a command and control table!
Based on the image I can see, the map is showing “Atlas Mantle” in the middle in green, Aminety in red to the north, and the whale as its own red marker just off to the west a bit of Atlas/Mantle. So now we know where everything is stationed.
The scales all kindsa weird tho
Ah THERES the G-force. Emeralds literally stuck to the floor.
And because Cinders an unoriginal bitch, fire swords. Im not impressed ot say the least. On a side note that DOES mean that radiobandit was right about her powers, so theres that. I’d wager this is a combination of her semblance and the maiden abilities.
For those who follow me, Cinder’s blades here are similar in look to what Ash Vulcan can summon, minus the fire. His are more of a cooled obsidian look. They are, however, as sharp as these are, but much less sturdy. Ex; the one that pins itself to the wall by Penny’s head would have shattered on impact, which Ash uses as a secondary ability. Because no one likes a hundred glass shards in their eyes...
OH HELL YES. Maria with the mech. Now, Cinder...TASTE METAL FIST.
RT...I salute you. Angry mother figure piloting a giant robot screaming “get away from her you bitch”. ALMOST had it. Almost.
What smacked into her though. Neo?
Yes, Neo piloting their escape craft. Interseting.
Emerald looks completely useless and confused and Neo is suddenly very much in a realization shes inside a tin can and MARIA IS OPERATING A GIANT TIN CAN OPENER
Emeralds semblance works on Maria. Interseting, so it must bypass eyes. Effect the brain specifically. Note to self for Chrys on that...
WHY did Neo take Ruby’s form when shes fighting Maria? On that Maria seems very happy to brawl on the ground now. Old habits die hard, I guess.
Additional math note; “broadcasting range” is, by this numerical, 543.523 of...whatever Remnant uses as units. On Earth, the edge of outerspace is almost exactly 100 km, or 62 miles, straight up. So going by that measurement... (Doing the math here hang on)...1 km is equal to 5.43 of Remnants distance units. Lets just say 5.5. Assuming Remnants edge is the same (but everything we’ve seen so far hints that it is, or at least very close)
Alternatively, since we heard klicks used in V4, but miles used in After The Fall, we can assume this is one of those, meaning that either broadcast altitude on Remnant is ABSURDLY HIGH, because 500km is literally 5 times the edge of space on earth, and 540 miles is ALMOST 9 TIMES AS HIGH. Either way Im pretty sure this is the first measurement of Remnants units we’ve seen.
Alternatively alternatively, judging by the arrows we see, these might be required velocity to maintain orbit, which MAY make a bit more sense but it doesnt really fit. Low orbital velocity on earth for example is 17,000 KPH. Even with the math above, theres still a TITANIC difference.
And now we see the numvers going down again because CINDER BURNED A HOLE IN THROUGH ONE OF THE STABALIZERS. Bitch.
Again on th e weaponizing the colleseum; look at all this empty space. They didnt even remove it from when it was a consorse for the festival. You could put SO MANY weapon emplacements...the landing pads are still there!
Oh so now Cinders a Dawnblade from RWBY is she.
And exploding arrows too. Alright then, sure, why not.
Not sure what the point of this little bit was, aside from Penny trying to draw Cinder off and Cinder going back because...evil? Bait for Penny? Who knows.
Oh yeah, Marias having a GOOD time. Also, Neos face when she gets kicked in it; “NO, NOT THE SANDEL!”
Also the disrespect from Maria. Yes. Suck it, Neo.
Also theres some timeskippage, as there is NOT a 2 minute gap between when we see the clock the first time and when we see it now. I dont think, anyway. Im sure theres math to be done but it serves the purpose its suppose to, for tension.
Uhhhh...Cinder, please. Your Salem’s most bottom of bitches right now. She favors Hazel and Tyrian over you.
Did Cinder really just try for a does not compute moment. Or is she just out of ideas.
Cinder stealing the maiden powers reminds me of the Grip of the Devourer perk from the Necromatic Grips in Destiny 2. Mainly the green energy flowing. I know thats Pennys aura stuff but it does remind me.
Ahhh they got a plan with Emerald then. Interesting. Also Neo taking advantage of a distraction sounds like her.
And Penny ONESHOTS Neo. Lets be real here, without aura? She’d be LIQUID. Or maybe ash. Not sure how Penny’s funnels (THEYRE STILL FUCKING FUNNELS DAMMIT) works.
Annnnddd you forgot shes a robot and sees aura didn’t you. Again, without aura, she’d be dead. Actually, she might legit be dead considering that scream. That sounds like the noise someone makes as their organs are fried by high intensity radiation. Not too mention the MASSIVE BURN MARK on the back wall there.
Either way; GET FUCKED BITCH.
Very dramatic, Emerald, but really, come on. Penny has lasers. You would get maybe one more shot (from a weapon that has, at best from my viewpoint) a caliber equal to MAYBE a 9mm pistol. That stuff doesnt have the penetration power required.
If Penny wasn’t nice and more interested in saving Peitro...you’d be dead. Ripped asunder and Cinder made even worse.
A pity, really, Penny has a heart. But...hey. Real girl.
I feed upon Emeralds tears though. Mmm. Simpy.
What the HELL is hitting them. Grimm?
Oh boy here we go, more of this. Like...bruh. Just set down for a bit. Always gotta be dramatic dont ya
Aww. Touching. But pointless in the grand scheme of things.
Interesting note but she puts her gloved hand on his cheek, not the one with the glove burned off. For what thats worth again.
Holy shit, that map wasnt lying. That whale’s almost as big as Atlas is from this angle. Mind you, might just be a trick of the location but it would make sense if they were afraid of a Grimm THAT GOD DAMN BIG. I was just seeing it as like, about the size of a normal sperm whale, maybe as big as the Leviathan from the series of the same name, but even that was barely 150 feet long. This things HUGE.
Nope. Pretty sure its about the same size as Atlas is long.
Also the Moon seems smaller from this angle oddly enough.
Wait is she gonna superman this fucking thing?
Okay yes, the numbers were based on distance not velocity, as Penny is pushing the stadium UP, rather than accelerating it in proper stance.
The noises she makes...huh. Glad my sister didnt walk in on those. Sounds...not like someone straining.
Hey look, its clumsy shitface McGee. HES NOT DEAD!
Note about the message; whos the chick with the eye patch next to the faunus in the back left of Ruby.
Im going to assume the first place we see the message played is the Mistral Black Market. Seems fitting for how it is, and the design matches Havens ascetic.
OH MY GOD THE LITTLE EARED FAUNUS GIRL IN THE HOLE. OH NO. SHES TOO CUTE.
Also in that same shot we see the old Karen from two episodes ago, a mouse girl, Fiona’s mole uncle, and someone new I think. Plus the huge eared girls mom who has a fox tail. And also one of the thirsty moms and her kid maybe?
Hey, Sun and Neptune! Out in the middle of nowhere in Vacuo. So this is the first time we’ve seen it in the show.
And Ilia’s still alive too!
Hey and Goodwytch too. No voice, of course...she got fired ages ago.
Also hey, so this is where Ironwoods been. I love how Hare turns it off before Ruby finishes.
I will note that technically Ruby’s not wrong. Ironwood cant be trusted. But then, he couldnt before because (gestures to Atlas’s pathetic, scraggy SOFT “military” instead of THE CHAD FORCES OF...uh...) (Rapid sounds of shuffling papers and files labeled “UNSC” “Coalition of Ordered Governments” “SRPA” “GAR” and “Yukon Confederacy” fly off the table)
Several others. Yes. Lets go with that. (Accidentally bumps paper labeled “Vanguard” off the desk)
Watts is back out I see too.
Wait wait wait. Penny’s blades operate via chips...part of her, sure. So WHY does she need wires on them? AGAIN. WHY ARE THEY WIRE FUNNELS AND NOT SEPERATE ONES.
Interestingly the inside of the one Watts has resembles a Scroll...did Peitro commender that technology?
No focusing system for the laser. No chamber for acceleration or direction. Odd.
Salem looks oddly glad for this. Probably cause she thinks this is going to spread more fear.
And Ruby gets to the heart of the deal. You dont beat something that cant be killed. You capture it. Hurt it. BREAK IT. A sentient being can only take so much punishment before it shatters into madness and controllable fragments. You just. Need. To. Hit. It. HARD. ENOUGH.
Additionally Ruby’s got a point there too. Salem played the shadows until this moment when everything was going her way. So...whats she afraid of.
Annnnddd thats all it takes to hijack Penny? Seriously.
Fuckin god damn useless Atlas bullshit fucking...(LONG SUFFERING SIGH OF A TECH NERD)
Hey theres Taiyang. Where’s Raven?
Wait hold on a second. She catches fire literally two seconds after she falls? You gotta fall a bit more than that for shit to start happening. WHAT THE FUCK IS REMNANTS ATMOSPHERE?! Or is it just dramatic...
Also as a small note the way the coms between her and Peitro cut off like that is accurate to reentry; during the hottest part of a splashdown, a space craft creates such a huge trail of energy behind it, rattling and burning its way down, it creates a blackout with its own passage. So based on the massive Apollo style reentry fire cone shes already putting out shes most likely going to be out of coms until she slows down orrrrrr craters into Remnants surface with the force of a meteor.
And no. I dont think shes dead. The fact that, DESPITE being surrounded by the kind of fireball that worked its way into the fueltank of the space shuttle Discovery and blew it and its crew to bits on reentry, she was still intact...shes probably going to be fine.
Hacked, certainly, but fine. It takes more than that to finish her. Besides now that shes hacked, she has to fight Ruby. We all want that right?
Ahh good to see Winter in full armor now. Or...close to it. Im sure some of its a support rig for her injuries but I like to think this is the start of Atlas’s Specialist Weaponization Program.
Ironwood makes a good call here. Same thought process as mine.
Salutes in this world are the same as ours. Interesting. Must change that for the HKs
Annnndd of course Watts steals the busted Scroll because IRONWOOD IS A FUCKING DUMBASS
...um.
Im...not even going to COMMENT on what the FUCK this thing is that Jaunes detachment found.
Also why is there A TREE in the tundra?
Oh, caustic. Interesting.
Mmmm. (Pause. Fingers to lips)
Thats your plan, Salem? To literally leak liquid Grimm into Mantle.
More silence.
Ladies and gentlemen...Salem is, officially, THE WORST VILLAN. OF ALL TIME.
The level of incompetence and stupidity I have seen here today completely obliterates the LAST person to hold that title, President Snow from the Hunger Games.
The amount of unnececary back door work and seecret plotting here astounds me. Shes doing this because she can, Im SURE of it. Theres no other reason.
Unless...she kows in a straight out fight, she’d have Ironwoods metal arm up to her colon in seconds. Which I wouldnt be surprised about.
Either way uh...thats it. Thats the end of the episode.
Nice fight, at least.
See you all in Febuary!
EDIT: NOT FEBUARY, the break is a few more episodes after this

see, thats the thing-- with both of his illustrated cards the main issue is stiff posing, but that shouldnt be an issue considering hes known for action manga, and the series' he works on have no problem with this... its a real headscratcher. ive seen some of his sketches of nightingale on twitter too and theyre up to par with his usual work, it kinda makes me feel like he was almost just crunched for time or something.
Even her reference pic from the mats looks more natural? Wonky hands but hey, who hasn't had wonky hands in a rough piece.
He sounds a little uncertain in his artist comment?
"When the service started and I saw everyone else's characters with awesome weapons and got really anxious, feeling I screwed up for drawing Nightingale-san empty handed, so it was a huge relief to find out she fights by just punching and kicking."
This tells us that 1) Nightingale's design was finalized before launch and 2) he...wasn't even sure if he was supposed to give her a weapon? That's...kind of big from a design standpoint, isn't it?
If they didn't even tell him whether or not she should have a weapon it doesn't seem like he got much direction/instruction. Drawing VN portraits is a specific skillset and a manga artist's skills may not translate well without direction. For VN portraits, you need some specific qualities:
Distinctive silhouette
Posing that has to work with multiple expressions
Face must be clearly visible and able to emote (I suspect FGO even specifies front-facing, because nobody is in profile)
ALL of the above must still read correctly with three different outfits (a couple artists like Hidari or Astraea's do full redraws for different ascensions, but it's definitely not standard)
Can't be interacting with environment
He didn't know what the other characters looked like, which means he didn't know what the standard was going to be. I find it pretty believable that he might have decided to play it safe.
When you're experienced in certain types of illustration, you know where you can and can't push the envelope. Look at Wada's Meltryllis, for example.
...nobody would have guessed they could draw this based on the above restrictions for a talk sprite. She's floating, it's not really clear whether she's walking or jumping or what, it's partly turned and angled...
--and it works! Wada knew that Melt's huge, complicated costume would need a lot of real estate. It doesn't matter that her motion is unclear. What matters is that all her most characteristic elements are front and center--legs, ribbon, coat. It's unmistakable as anyone but Melt. And hey, if you want to think hard enough, the jumping around fits her ballerina fixation and she's water or whatever anyway. Characteristic, distinctive, shows off design, face visible. All the most important stuff is there even if it's not to-the-letter on VN portrait restrictions.
Wada knew she could do this because she had experience illustrating Extra, CCC, and Extella and experience counts for a hell of a lot; remember how I talked before how her Shuwen portraits leaped up in quality between games? Extra had stiff, boring posing. By Extella she'd advanced a lot, and you see much more natural, varied posing. You play it safe when you don't know how far you're allowed to go. Jing Ke and Nightingale's portraits look more like Wada's Extra work.
(and it also probably helps that Wada is a TM house artist with a history of working with Nasu and Takeuchi. Knowing the boss always helps.)

@vinkumakkara told me to write about Julius and the Boss’ relationship changing between SR1 and 2 and man ! do i love talking about Julius Little.
in Saints Row 1 the Saints are in dire straights -- they’ve been around for long enough to gain some members, for those members to have earned ranks as lieutenants, as second-in-commands, but they’ve made very little progress. they barely have a hold on the Row.
Julius says “we need all the help we can get” so i think at this point hes trying to build up enough of a gang so that he feels stable enough to to launch an attack. no point fighting if youre going to immediately get wiped out by the retaliation. by the time he finds Playa, he’s about feeling like they can stop defending their territory and expanding. Playa is kind of a last minute find.
that’s Playa all over at the start. Julius stumbles in on them -- if you wanted to sum up Saints Row 1 in a phrase it would be wrong time, wrong place -- and from there, he brings Playa into the fold.
something i’ve mentioned with Julius several times is that i believe he deliberately constructed the Saints out of people he thought he could control. thats why most of the Saints are barely out of their early twenties; he’s an older man with power and influence, theyre people who will follow him willingly. Playa came with a bonus in that regard -- Julius saved their life. they owe him one. wanting to pay someone back can be a powerful motivator.
Playa starts off in the gang as a new recruit that Julius has a good feeling about, and they very, very quickly become the Saints’ most valuable asset. Julius knows this, everyone knows this. the Saints spent god knows how long getting nothing done and then suddenly here comes the hero.
in SR1, Julius commands everyone’s utmost respect. the only people who talk back and get away with it are Troy and Ben King. hes the unquestioned leader, and Playa really shows no signs of wanting to change anything about that. you could definitely say they want power, but there’s no real indication theyre gunning for Julius’ job -- you could definitely say that your Playa was, but there’s no definitive statement. theyre still in the “bitch who keeps their mouth shut and does what they’re told” phase of their development.
Julius from the outset has dreams of having a gang that protects the people, and claims he left the Vice Kings because they became about the money and stopped being about taking the city back from Los Carnales. Playa is a means to an end, and they’re happy to be that. their own motivation for joining the Saints is whatever the player wants it to be, we’re never given a solid reason. but Julius, he had ideas of being a hero.
Playa gets their promotion at the end of the game, but that’s pretty short lived. in my opinion, at this time there’s no way Julius had any plans to off them. listen to his speech in the Battlefield Promotion cutscene;
3rd Street owns this town. Now, that's not to say that shit didn't cost, and I ain't talkin' about what happened to Johnny's leg or losing Lin. Those two were soldiers, they knew the risk. Hell, Johnny gets off on it. But we crushed a lot of families playa, and someday they're gonna holla at us. But believe me when I tell you, we did the right thing. With the Rollerz wiped out, Benjamin gone, and the Colombians in our pocket, there ain't gonna be a need for a gang war ever again. And in the end, that's gonna save a lot more lives than we took.
that’s complete justification of everything, and Julius is happy to reward Playa for it, telling them to take it easy and then giving them a promotion. he knows how valuable they are to the gang, and he wants to give them more power. these arent the actions of a man who is in fear of one of his workers and wants to punish them, to stop them before they get too far. he can’t claim that he wanted to stop the Saints and take them down when he’s telling his weapon of mass destruction that he loves their work and that they should have even more freedom to run riot in the city.
my point being; Julius and Playa in SR1 respect each other. Playa is completely loyal to him; look at the missions where they work with Dex and Johnny to save him from the police by following Alderman Hughes. Playa wouldn’t have done that shit if they wanted to overthrow or destroy Julius. and i mean, if there’s one thing we know about the Boss and the Saints, it’s that they value loyalty above everything else. betraying Julius probably never even fucking occurred to them.
Julius didn’t have anything to worry about with Playa. he could have sat back and let them carry on all the work, knowing that everyone in that gang would have done anything he wanted. but as we know, it wasn’t that simple. the cops got involved and then it was Julius on the line. and that’s where Julius’ true nature comes into play; he’s selfish. after everything Playa has done for him, he’s happy to have them killed off, and when that doesn’t work, he’s happy to pin all the blame on them.
let’s look at the Revelations mission;
Julius: Don’t you get it? The Saints didn't solve a goddamn thing. Drugs were still being pushed, innocent people were still getting killed...all we did was turn into Vice Kings that wore purple.
...
Boss: You wanna be the killer with a conscience? Fine. Drop your flags and write a book like King. But you never shoulda came after me. Julius: You tellin' me if I would asked you to walk away you would have said yes? Boss: Fuck no, this is my city. Julius: Jesus, you haven’t learned a goddamn thing.
...
Boss: Your time’s over, old man. Julius: What happened to you? Boss: I woke up. Julius: You owe me, Playa. If it weren't for me you woulda died on that street corner.
suddenly the Boss is a monster that Julius couldn’t stop, and all Julius cared about was looking after the city. i love “you haven’t learned a goddamn thing”. Julius grew a conscience overnight, so why didn’t Boss, too? Julius is incredibly spiteful and condescending when he wants to be; he’s wielding moral superiority over the Boss here, because he has no other weapons and he’s at a point of complete weakness.
see, i say that Julius never had to worry about Playa, but he feared them. i think he probably would have feared Johnny too, if he had any appreciation for him. he was definitely scared of Dex (particularly Dex vying for his position), and remains so into SR2. Julius is not the tough guy, he isnt the big fighter. hes getting old, and what he has over the young kids is intimidation and authority, strategy and intelligence.
Julius needed the Saints soldiers because he needed people to do his dirty work. in SR1, Johnny and Playa dont get a hell of a lot of respect from anyone. Johnny especially is derided as being a psychopath even by the other lieutenants, and Playa is lumped in with him by the other Saints. the SR1 Saints do not value violence the same way the Saints in SR2 do.
in SR2, the Boss and Johnny are gods from the word go. everyone thinks Johnny is the fucking coolest and the best, and everyone respects Boss. Julius brought Playa on board to do his killing for him, and Boss turns the Saints into a whole gang of killers. even by the end of SR1, Playa is getting people’s respect and admiration for being the elite killer who took out the rival gang leaders. Playa made killing cool, and that’s in complete opposition to everything Julius stood for. that’s not protecting the city. but of course, none of that matters until it starts putting Julius at risk.
Julius knew what Playa was by the end of SR1, but that didn’t matter to him then. he didn’t care that they were a killer, he wanted them by his side, right up until it became too dangerous. when the going got tough, he dropped everything he could overboard and ran for it.
Boss in SR2 is fucking angry at Julius. i mean, how the fuck could they not be? they trusted Julius absolutely, fought for Julius, did everything he wanted, and were eventually cast aside for the same reasons they’d once been wanted. they had never had any reason to doubt Julius; his betrayal came out of nowhere, and cost them the entire kingdom they’d once fought so hard for. like i already said, loyalty is a big fucking thing to the Saints. and Julius just threw that in the Boss’ face.
Julius’ betrayal pushes Boss into a position of complete power, and for a while in SR2, they’re really the monster he wanted them to be. they do a lot of really evil things when they’re granted that authority. in a fucked up way, Julius was right to fear and criticise them -- he just wasn’t doing so for the right reasons. fuck, it’s hard to argue, seeing Boss in SR2, that a lot of people wouldn’t be justified in wanting them dead. they’re not a good person.
Boss and Julius are, from the start, at complete odds to each other. Julius entered the gang world in a position of power - he set up the Vice Kings with Ben King and was a leader until he left. he set up the Saints and was an unquestioned leader there, too. Boss came in as nothing and worked their way up. Julius started off with a moral cause -- he may have lost it along the way, but he had a cause. Boss sure as hell didn’t restart the Saints in SR2 because they wanted to give back to the community.
i wont say the Boss and Julius were never going to get along, because the Boss theyre both happy to work with people who are nothing like them -- or at least Boss is. Julius is happy to use people until they stop being useful. i dont think the Saints ever became real friends to Julius the way they did to the Boss. he remained a distant, powerful leader until the end.
Boss and Julius started off working together, but things fell apart when everything stopped being under Julius’ control, and once the Boss wasn’t something Julius could control, he despised them. Boss didn’t hate Julius until they found out what he did to them, but once they knew, there was no stopping them from getting their revenge. i’ve said it many times in the past -- the Boss makes things right by killing people.
i think if Julius hadn’t tried to have them killed, Playa probably wouldn’t have turned on him. Julius’ need for self-preservation was kind of his downfall, in a way, but when you’re backed into a corner like that, there’s not a lot you can do, i suppose. there’s no way in hell he could have talked Playa out of the Saints, and he knew it. he wasn’t even attempting to try. i’ve always thought of Julius being akin to Frankenstein, and the Boss to the Monster. it just took a lot longer for Julius to be disgusted by his creation.
