RWBY: Ice Queendom Fixes Yang's Worst Volume 1 Moment
Warning: Contains spoilers for RWBY: Ice Queendom episodes 1 and 2.
The first three episodes of RWBY: Ice Queendom are out, and they fix one of Yang’s worst moments from RWBY volume 1. Ice Queendom is a largely original story for the RWBY franchise, but the first three episodes have devoted time to abridging the key moments of volume 1 to catch any new fans up to speed on the basics of the show. Naturally, there have been changes done to fit the format and time constraints, and some of those changes resulted in one of Yang’s worst, and weirdest, moments from volume 1 being improved upon.
When Ruby and Yang first arrive at Beacon in volume 1, Yang tells Ruby that she should try and make new friends and then proceeds to leave her all by herself to hang out with her own friends. The moment makes Yang seem incredibly flighty and downright insensitive for forcing RWBY's Ruby Rose out of her comfort zone, especially when the friends she ran off with never appear again afterward. What makes it even worse is that the show would later depict the two of them as having a close and affectionate relationship, which makes the previous moment come off as out of character for Yang, as well.
