Neo has some pretty convincing ones, but I agree, Mercury has some pretty good ones. Quite frankly, the only other time I recall seeing so many facial expressions in the span of a series is the entirety of Idiots Array in season one of Star Wars Rebels.
Tyrian enjoys CHAOS, and what is more chaotic then being the only antagonistic that knows Salem’s TRUE goal to destroy the world, yeah he barely CARES that he’ll also die if Salem succeeds.
Hey you. Yes you. random person that I will never meet. Hi, I truly hope that you will find happiness in life. Hope today is going to be a great day for you.
So most of his screen time is being uncomfortable. He cant just get the screen time he deserves, I mean he has potential but he is going to Vacuo now. 😒
Only in later volumes and usually when witnessing Salem's magic in early volumes he knew everything they were doing and was pretty calm now he's like how Roman was left in the dark and only following orders as receives them the only difference between the two was that Roman was older and had more experience in keeping a calm mind while not knowing the big picture and Mercury lived most of his life isolated with his dad training to kill and now he's dealing things he never even thought about while still being very young and unprepared for most things the world has to offer he's in too deep and thinks all he can do his continue down his path even if he's beginning to doubt that path himself
Nah Mercury is going to be side lined and killed off in a one note manner since almost every male villain dies while the female ones live constantly...
I really want Mercury to just press the eject button on Tyrian and turn the airship around and switch to ruby and ozpin’s side. Maybe he can arrive in time to get team APRY out of there. (APRY is what I like to call team Jaune, Oscar, Ren, and Yang, it’s short for apricot) Because they’ll most likely need some back up in rescuing Oscar. Maybe he can get some other defectors like Hazel or Emerald out of there too if they make that choice.
My theory his he and Tyrian will clash and fight each to a draw because Mercury can use his metal legs to keep Tyrian from using semblance on him and ripping away his aura and poisoning him obviously Tyrian will eventually get the upper hand only to retreat when others arrive to back up Mercury also cool team name very original
@@nicolasneal204 I think Mercury is a way better fighter than people think he is and if not he should be. Considering he was training all his life and that the training was harsh and relentless which likely pushed him to be much better. I know yang technically didn’t beat him but he should be way better than her or any other member of team RWBY. I honestly don’t see any reason why he shouldn’t be on the same level as Qrow or Tyrian or Ironwood. I mean Ironwood was defeated by Watts (Watts was only taken because he let his guard down and even then that might have just been the plan in the first place). Most of time we’ve seen Mercury fight is when he either lost on purpose, got overconfident, or got caught off guard. When we did see him fight for real he completely owned Yatsuhashi and Coco with what looked like little effort. I don’t think emerald even needed to step in. He probably could’ve taken Pyrrha too if she didn’t have such an unfair advantage with her semblance and his legs. Sorry if it sounds like I’m ranting too much but I really like Mercury’s character and I really want him to have more time to shine.
@@JK_of_Today Mercury's definitely a good fighter but he doesn't have the experience necessary to be on Qrow and Tyrian's level there's a big difference between training and actual fighting to death although his skills are pretty useful and he only beat Coco and Yatsuhashi because he was faster then the both of them and has for Yang they're fighting styles are similar enough that she can actually hold her own fairly well against him and her semblance would most likely push her over the edge since everytime she gets hit she gets stronger and rather than blowing through that energy like before she waits for a moment when she can't miss her target and destroys them that being said though Mercury is definitely a one the best fighter's in the show and does really well without semblance and can easily go toe to toe with anyone and do well
@@JK_of_Today It's also who he was trained by that supports him being among the best. His father was such a deadly fighter, that Cinder personally sought him out. And, he did end up killing him. I'm sure he's already passed people like Adam, and Harriet in skill, seeing as how he ONLY fight people.
HIS FACE WHEN HAZEL SCREAMED! THAT. THAT IS WHY I LOVE THIS SHOW AND I LOVE THAT CHILD (well before volume 6 when, ya know, happened) MERCURY YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AND YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO EXPRESS THAT WITH VERY CONCERNING FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
@@goddesssalem4842 I think if he learns for sure that Salem is really trying to end he and Tyrian will fight and crash there ship before they make it Vacou I don't think he fully believed Tyrian because he does seem crazy and not the most reliable person when it comes to information
That last scene is extremely important for the eventual redemption of Mercury. It seems each of Cinder’s underlings may redeem for different reasons. Emerald is redeemed because she sees the atrocities of everything (Good). Neo is redeemed because she was revenge on Cinder (Neutral). And Mercury is redeemed not because he wants to be good, but he just wants to save himself from Salem (Evil). Throughout all of this, it looks like Mercury has no interest in being good like Emerald does. But we see when Mercury finds out Salem wants to end the world, he’s very disturbed by it. He can very well be reformed to fight alongside the heroes, not because he wants Good to succeed, but because he knows if Salem wins, he’s going to die. I hope at the end of the series, Cinder has to fight against Mercury, Emerald, and Neo together. It would be poetic.
And at 3:34 The look he gave her. Even if it isnt a romantic attraction, there is a sense that he cares about Emerald. Its not the first time he showed this either.
2:57 - 'It was at THAT MOMENT, he realized...... 'WE FUCKED UP!!'" 😰😆 Seriously, Mercury now knows they all have been played and he's got to find a way..... Not just to get away from Tyrian, but save Emerald & himself!! And, most of all, keep Salem from fulfilling her dream of mass destruction!!! Good luck!!! 😎👍🌹😆😆😆😆😆
Hm. I truly cannot see that. I mean Sasuke is full of hate and revenge... Mercury is just living the life his father taught him to. He doesn't do things because of hate nor revenge (well execpt killing his dad tho) like Sasuke, he does things because Cinder or Salem are telling him do to it. In the past he followed Cinder, because he had nothing else do to and no place to stay after he killed his dad and now he is following Salem because he is afraid of her. Nowhere in there is there a Sasuke tbh.
“Mr. Black let’s play a game to pass time” “What did you have in mind?” “Rollercoaster” “Roller wha-“ *Tyrian would just let go of the wheel and turn off the plane*
Honestly, I really don't want Mercury to change sides. It would be great to see him clash with Emerald and really get some character development. Also if RT was more reliable with their power scaling then him destroying Yang and CVFY two best fighters at the same time should make him one of the strongest characters in the show, semblance or no semblance.
Actually Mercury has grey eyes, not silver eyes. In the world of RWBY, silver eyes have small white lines in the iris, which is prevalent from volumes 2 to 8. Mercury does not have those lines in his eyes.
I think she'll learn the truth and Hazel will stay behind to buy them (Emerald, Oscar, Jaune, Yang, and Ren) time to escape and meet up with Cinder and Ruby and while pleading with Cinder to abandon Salem because she knows the truth Cinder ignores her and attacks her so she can continue trying to kill Ruby and steal the Winter maiden's power from Penny and realizing Cinder doesn't care for her and never Emerald attacks her and joins the others
@@aerialmacaroon6312 true but she was isolated all her life so she never had anyone except Ozma who saved her and later on died by a sickness so it kind of makes sense that she acted spoiled but lets be honest, the gods were a$$holes and dumba$$es epecially the light god.
