I’m just so glad that we got to see the girls just being sisters. Like, before their bonding was going on a mission to fight Grimm, but this gave us them as sisters.

Honestly, it was the best note possible to end this era of RWBY on.

It started with those two and it finished with them.

So apparently a random channel on YouTube uploaded a bunch of Disney cartoon pilots?!

Edit: a lot of them got taken down already, but if you need them, just ask me!

I don't have a lot of people to talk to RWBY about in my daily life. And sometimes I end up talking to my brother about. And he doesn't like for various reasons that I disagree with or think is downright silly. Like his not understanding of aura and semblance. He's not watched the show proper. Only snippets of it or an episode here and there that he's walked in on. And he has strong opinions despite this. Which is why I take a lot of criticism with a grain of salt cause I end up asking myself "did they actually watch it? Or are they like my brother" and it helps a lot actually. I'm able to let myself enjoy it despite what other people say because maybe they just haven't really watched it and as such their opinion doesn't matter.

after how they handled it in V9, 'boba' restored my faith in how they're handling ruby's arc and especially her friends response to it. yang acknowledging the role she played in ruby not feeling like she could talk to them, that she wasn't really there for ruby in a way that ruby needed her to, making it clear that she is there for her now and that there's no going back to the team rwby that was, ruby acknowledging that she still doesn't really know how to ask for help, the code word...

it's all good stuff. very similar to the discussion yang and weiss had in V5, which is a good thing ✌

I have a lot of thoughts on the original pilot episode of The Owl House but I sort of see why they changed some plot elements in the first episode of the show. I honestly prefer waiting until Covention to see Lilith rather than having her as the first antagonist of the season. But she was more intimidating here than in the show proper.

I like that we saw Luz not fitting in school more in this version. It felt like we got to see more of what she was going though than in the first episode.

But why did Amity's parents thought it was a good idea to send her to a human school? This seems like a terrible idea and it would have led to someone (other than Luz) finding out that she's a witch.

Also, shout-out to Alex Hirsch! He voiced a few more characters in this pilot, like that female demon student.

Yang acknowledging her part in not understanding Ruby's feelings, Ruby learning how to ask for help, the safe word in case she's feeling overwhelmed, the sister bonding after all this time

The perfect way to end this little series

The Pilot is Out There!

Take your chance and watch before it's too late!

One of RWBY's themes, especially in the later volumes, is how stifling and painful being expected to act perfect all the time really is.

So naturally, the fandom holds its characters to absolutely high standards and flip when they aren't 100% absolutely golden, or woobyfy them to such a degree that they can't see any of the flaws they're supposed to have.

The final two episodes of RWBY Beyond were really good.

The Adventures of Somewhat was a fun story back in the Ever After. It was fun to see some of the Afterans return in some shape or form.

And do I even need to say anything about Boba? It was sweet. I'm happy that Yang and Ruby had a chance to talk about everything that happen to them. This also feels like a beautiful send-off to the Rooster Teeth era of the franchise.

If I were to rank all four episodes I think this would be my ranking:

Boba

A Knight's Journal

The Adventures of Somewhat

Jr. Detectives

Also, new meme potential!

Anyway, thank you Rooster Teeth.

Trope - Disney Princess Syndrome

"Disney Princess Syndrome" is my personal name for the trope of a rich or powerful character portrayed as "Nice", "Good" or "Down to earth". Because they want to hang around "Normal/Real people" and want to be treated like a "Regular person" or otherwise does not think their phenomenal wealth makes them abnormal.

This trope/character concept is usually contrasted against another rich or powerful persons who flaunts their wealth intentionally, is aware they are rich and tends to be snooty, cocky or otherwise act in a manner that is more reflective of their phenomenal wealth.

Usually these characters are contrasted so that we like the former but hate the latter but weirdly… I often find myself either disliking both or liking the latter more. Largely cos they at least seem self aware of their circumstances and so come off as less frustratingly flippant or willfully ignorant.

Examples will be drawn from, Miraculous Ladybug.

I will largely avoid talking about how X character was raised, or trauma that might influence this behavior. But keep in mind people with bad home lives can often act out in ways that don't make them a "good" victim.

In ML, you have "Wants to be a normal boy" Adrien, "Wants to meet sincere people" Princes Ali, and "This is all so artificial" Musician Jagged Stone. They are contrasted against hotel heiress, Mayors daughter & smug about it Chloe.

Now:

Chloe's a brat, a jerk & a snob to be sure, however I still somehow find her less hypocritical or deluded than these other three because at least she seems aware of her circumstances and what they mean for her VS others. Jagged treats doing a small autograph session with the mayor like its some horrible imposition and he flips out at being expected to follow trends he deems artificial. But he also drags his literal assistant with him everywhere to manage his life, keeps a pet alligator on him at all times & can be extremely rude and demanding. But it never feels acknowledged in the same way as with Chloe, because he's 'real'. Prince Ali acts like its weird for people to try and charm or otherwise please him when assigned to give him a tour for a whole event about himself. He also seems to neglect what would be fairly typical greetings for someone of his class & position despite likely being taught them. This again ties into making him seem 'genuine' but comes off as just odd. Adrien balances it best by wanting his father to be less controlling and his father is indeed controlling. But he's also only bothered by Chloe, her parents or his fathers haughty behavior if it alienates him or people he wants to be friends with. He laughs it off or otherwise tends to ignore it with staff but is meant to be better.

This isn't to say a character 'can't' want these things, or find the trappings of wealth utterly unsatisfying. Especially children who are not themselves actually rich and exist at the whims of their parents who are often functionally immune to the law.

Its more an issue with how the trope tends to be executed. Both in terms of the "Disney Princess" who wants to be "Out there" having no self awareness of their wealth, or internal hypocrisy. With this being framed as more endearing than anything, despite often coming off as entitled or selfish by accident.

Or in how the rich jerk just ends up feeling more grounded, or accidentally becomes sympathetic because they are usually an antagonist. Thus meaning they not only have to lose, but usually are surrounded by people like themselves. Leaving the impression their behavior is less to do with having the money to get away with t and more born of mistreatment.

& that as they say is that.

I don't blame WB for deeming that 2009 WW movie a disappointment. I'd be disappointed too if I didn't advertise my direct-to-videos at all and barely made money in return.

As a reminder, the animated Wonder Woman film from 2009 made $2M on release and is, I believe, in the top 5 “all time” sales for DCAU movies, and it was deemed a disappointment by the WB higher ups and given no sequel, etc etc.

When people talk about the success of the JLxRWBY movies, just keep in mind the unrealistic bar WB has for anything not live-action.

[anotherguynamedjeremy]

The last two episodes of Beyond. The cynic in me feels like that last one is going to be them addressing the "Yang is a horrible sister" people.
