RWBY - The Hindenburg on which Rooster Teeth rests its hopes, dreams and future

[Roland Daggett]

Or if they face a villain looking to reset the universe like in Jojo part 6.

Salem will suddenly change motivations "Oh didn't I say that my goal is to reset the universe or something so the writers can use that as a get out of jail free card? Funny how we're in Volume 17 and I just now mentioned that"

Oh who am I kidding. The show won't make it to Volume 10.

 

[Random Internet Person]

It’s that time again. https://www.kickassanime.rs/anime/rwby-volume-7-884791/episode-10-916151

Also someone summarized this episode and shared it on Discord.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Just saw the episode. I must say that visually, they got their shit together. There wasn't a lot of the mo-cap stiltedness that plagues the rest of the season and the fights were pretty decent for what it's worth.

 

[Random Internet Person]

Just a little something I found on Discord.

Someone found this. And responded. https://twitter.com/spectre799games/status/1215855934020304896?s=21

Someone's a bit pissy that someone criticized their favorite show.

Well, that's a few brain cells lost.

I love how they don't even bother trying to point out that the points against RWBY could be wrong - It's all "WAH! HOW DARE YOU COMPARE IT TO AN OLDER SERIES"

In that case what should RWBY be compared to?

We can't compare it to other anime.

Can we compare it to video games?
Can we compare it to live action?
Can we compare it to comics?

Comparisons are gonna be made, especially when the crew themselves had outright admitted that they took inspiration from stuff like Soul Eater, MHA (the fight between Gira and one of the fox guys... I don't remember which one specifically), oh and "ANIME HOMEWORK."

So, another day of butt hurt FNDM.

 

[Grumbo]

Well, here’s my reply. Hopefully I did it right so I don’t Dox myself.

Man, why they gotta insult K-On! like that?

 

[Random Internet Person]

Man, why they gotta insult K-On! like that?

Oh, that was me. I was saying that they want RWBY to be judged at the level of K-On!, an anime that’s an adaptation of Japan’s version of newspaper comics. I personally find K-On! to be amazing.

Ah, OK. Not the biggest fan of K-On! myself, but I also can say that it trounces RWBY handily. Well, except in fight scenes. Only because K-On! doesn't have any.

 

[Fougaro]

Agreed. The show is past the point of no return without some major retcons or reboot. I think Volume 4 was probably the last time they had a real chance to fix things, though that would mean spending probably years trying to clean up the huge mess Volume 3 caused. But if they focused on fixing things they could have made it work with some good writing. But after so many bad seasons that have irreparably destroyed any semblance of continuity they screwed themselves over. And it's so frustrating that they were so incompetent and lazy for so many years that even when they had the chance to fix things they just kept bullrushing forward in the story without any thought. If you ask me they'd probably have to wipe the slate clean of everything past Volume 2 if they wanted to actually fix things. They'd still have to fix the issues the first two Volumes had but those problems were significantly smaller compared to the issues that would come later and would be easier to deal with. Unless they did some kind of DC style in universe reboot to just erase all the crap I can't see them moving forward with the series and heading anywhere but right off a cliff.

The only way to salvage this catastrophe is to completely nuke everything and start over again. The problem is, who would in such a hypothetical scenario take over the writing? Having Miles and Kerry take the wheel again - especially without tard wranglers - will only turn back the clock for history to repeat itself. And even if RWBY is rewritten by a writer who isn't supernaturally inept or is even - dare I say - good, there is still the possibility of a hypothetical reboot having a troubled production or be sabotaged through internal petty drama or other homosexual faggotry. Keeping this in mind, I'm starting to believe that RWBY can only be saved if it gets taken away from Rooster Teeth.

Edit:

Speaking of aidoru anime, Zombieland Saga is also better written than RWBY with the zombie girls being unironically likable and outright legendary.

I'm honestly loving the asshurt oozing from the twitter fucks and the fanwhores of this outright fucking weeaboo amerime mess known as RWBY.

I'm not declaring shitpoking, but bloody fuckin' hell does this inspire me to with outright ripping apart this series with a shit ton of video game comparisons and a few anime comparisons, let alone scrutinizing its conceptual and thematic composition as an amerime, just so I can lick the fuckin' tears.

TL;DR

RWBY is like a shittier version of Final Fantasy VIII.
RWBY is like a shittier version of Phantasy Star Universe.
RWBY is like a shittier version of Wild Arms III.
RWBY has more holes in its "anime composition" than an early 2000s anime fan high schooler's self drawn manga while high off of chromosomes and hormones.
RWBY's world building has more holes in it than a B to Z grade JRPG for the SNES. That was never released out in the States. And was only translated into the mid 2000s by a hobby translation team.
RWBY fails to capture the zeitgeist of the heart and soul of the inspiration of anime and Japanese video games onto the United States in its peak of exposure.
Even shows like Totally Spies, Marvin Martian, and even Teen Titans, a series I personally loathe, is better than this series now.

@Random Internet Person , could you be a darling and post up a screenshot of this list for them to read, or in some form? I would love to see them fume over this. You don't have to if you don't want to.

 

[Tism the Return]

Imagine RWBY is the hill you die on when it comes to golden standards of animation and quality storytelling.

Imagine being part of the defense squad of a joyless, derivative and formulaic piece of garbage and doing so with a passion.

Both times funny and idiotic, as expected of Twitter.

One of the reasons why writers shouldn't being on twitter listening to people. Way too easy to cater and to mess up your story for pandering.

Also, since we're on the train of anime comparisons, found a fun one on twitter:

I'd like to point out that I hate Code Geass with a passion, but hey, at least in the context of the show, Charles was at least competent for the most part.

Edit: Also, now that I'm thinking about it...

Why does Salem just sit on her ass? She's immortal, she's supposedly all powerful, and can control grim... Why does she need intricate plans and henchmen to do her dirty work?

On another aspect, I never understood why her being immortal was such a big deal - Especially with all the information and assets that the show had given us. You don't even need to kill Salem to beat her, hell, the best solution in my mind is to ask Jinn how to seal/steal/destroy magical abilities (we know that semblances can be stolen, ala Mercury) and shoot Salem into space (Pull a jojo with Kars, she'll be trapped in space).

-) 4 Fleshed out female protags

PFFT, bitch, where?!

-) No Female Protagonists

Winry, Riza Hawkeye, General Armstrong (who, may I remind you all, KICKED HER MOUNTAIN OF MUSCLE OF A BROTHER'S ASS), Izumi Curtis...

While not protagonists, still central characters who are EXTREMELY important to the plot and could probably kick my ass any day of the week.

-) No LGBTQIA +

... Did they seriously make that thing longer again?

Anyway, that's actually wrong, there was a canon gay character, a bit of a stereotype, but still there.

Also, on another note, Oliver Mira Armstrong actually was really open minded when it came to her soldiers, remember, she had an Ishvalan soldier who was a high ranking member - And Ishvalans were pretty much discriminated against.

-) Harmful stereotypes...

Oh no, they have fictional races who hold similarities to cultures of our world - That must make them harmful stereotypes...

Oh, and it wouldn't be complete of the dumbass RWBY fan without:

No WAHMEN in lead roles?! FMA confirmed as inferior media checkmate incels

Rooster teeth is slowly crumbling. Head of animation for RWBY chibi stepped down and left an ominous message. Notice the message below from Miles who didn't even know it was the guys last day.

Code Geass had its own share of problems including the embarrassment that was R2, but it was still slightly less incompetent than RWBY.

>4 fleshed out female protagonists
One of RWBY's many problems is that said characters have been fleshed out, but in a wrong way to the point of being sentient cancerous tumors. Just take a look at the 4 main girls.

RUBY
What you'd expect: Given that the combination of Little Red Riding Hood and the Grimm Reaper (<- because haha get it?) leaves so many options for so much cool shit, you'd expect something amazing. At the very least you'd expect a likable main character.
What you get instead: A so-called main character who's a complete and utter NPC at her own show.

WEISS
What you'd expect: A best girl with ice powers.
What you get instead: A former best girl reduced to jobbing, to the point of almost being RWBY's equivalent of Yamcha. Elements of the FNDM refer to her as "Useless Lesbian" for a reason.

BLAKE
What you'd expect: Given her background, a sexy cold and aloof assassin that tries to run from her past and gradually warms up to her teammates. Sexy ninja catgirl should not be possible to fuck up.
What you get instead: A cowardly and detestable cunt who's a pussy in more ways than just one.

YANG
What you'd expect: A hot and badass blonde biker bitch who takes no shit from anyone and kicks major amounts of ass, especially since her last name is a Bruce Lee reference.
What you get instead: Remember the first episode of Goblin Slayer? Think of Yang as the Fighter and Rooster Teeth's writing staff as the goblins. Bad writing and sloppy shipping will do things to an initially decent character that are not for the faint heart.

No amount of chemotherapy is going to fix these fleshed out characters at this point.

If you want a show with well-written and outright amazing female characters, watch Black Lagoon. You'll thank me later.

Oh, they're fleshed out alright, unfortunately it's just Buffalo Bill style flesh suits for each character.

Ah, OK. Not the biggest fan of K-On! myself, but I also can say that it trounces RWBY handily. Well, except in fight scenes. Only because K-On! doesn't have any.

Now I wanna see the K-On girls fight evil with the power of....light music.
