#criticism of rwby

[caddeter]

M&K:  We’ve been planning all this stuff from the beginning!

Also M&K:  We invented the Maidens between Volumes 2 and 3, didn’t come up with Oscar until Volume 4, and didn’t know how the girls would use the Staff of Creation until we got to that point.

FNDM:  I listened to only the first sentence and think anyone who pays attention is a moron.

So I enjoy mixing and matching animated intros to shows, and of course messed around with the new Bells Hells animated intro and my god I was SHOOK when I linked it up to the RWBY vol 7 intro song like it fits too well

Even a number of the lyrics, like "...through love your power just shines" when FCG gains control back, and "the truth is there but sometimes in disguise" when Laudna reveals her form of dread...

I just truly truly cannot understand people who see a character doing fucked up things reflective of deeper character and hate them instead of thinking it's cool writing

So. There’s this show I really hate.

I didn’t even want to watch it, but I was forced to sit through literally all of it because my parents liked it for some reason that completely eludes me. Not only is the plot catastrophically bad and the characters inconsistent — it’s also very, very misogynistic in essence. Just thinking about it now makes me want to chew on the writing team’s bones.

I genuinely have nothing good to say about this show.

So. Do you know how many posts I uploaded to the corresponding tags?

ZERO (0)

Because there’s no point in spending energy on a thing I hate so passionately, and even less in ruining it for other people.

Don’t get me wrong — it’s OK to point out irregularities in writing, and to talk about specific aspects of a story that upset you. But uploading dozens of posts about how you Hate The Thing, Analysing The Thing Is Pointless, Everyone Who Worked On The Thing Is Stupid, and Everyone Who Loves The Thing Is Delusional, is maybe not the genius take you think it is.

It doesn’t make you smarter than everyone else. It just makes you boring.

#This post was written in defense of #miraculous ladybug #Which is getting INSANE amounts of hate right now #But it also applies to #rwby #Especially to RWBY actually #Considering the nature of the criticism around the show #At least: #1. Tag your salt posts #2. Stay off other people’s posts #3. AND ASK BOX apparently this needed to be specified #It’s just politeness at this point #anti rwde #vent

It really is so remarkable that a western cartoon was brave enough to frame desertion as the moral and heroic thing to do.

#i really dont think people realize how rare and stunning that is in western media #rwby gets deservedly criticized for the Faunus stuff #but Marrow / Atlas arc IS remarkable and they dont equivocate at all that authoritarianism and militarism are bad #the ‘Ironwood was right crowd’ are so obviously raised on the unquestioned jingoistic propaganda in American media #M watches rwby #Was just thinking about this other day and dont think rwby gets enough credit for this one

So when I was at the Cobalt Soul, I don't know, maybe it was a bout of nostalgia, so I just named her Mother, like after Matron of Ravens, but also my mother.

There needs to be a study about fandoms who are quickly to defend flawed media, and they will do it at ALL costs. Shows like RWBY and Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss that have very clear flaws and yet fans get VERY personally offended when someone criticizes them. I mean any media has hardcore fans that will defend it with their lives but there are some special cases that stand out from the rest.

V1: plays the role of the POV character and the heart  

So we were seeing Ruby’s perspective in Jaune’s character arc?  Which lasted two more episodes than her arc with Weiss?

V2: is a major part of nearly every fight with the bad guys, and embraces her leadership role

“Embraces her leadership role” When?  When did she do anything as a leader, apart from calling out attacks?

V3: while most of the volume is taken up by the tournament, once  Cinder’s plan comes to fruition she is the character we focus most on

No, we’re pin balling back and forth between each character.  If the show focused on Ruby the most, then it glossed over Yang getting crippled, Blake’s confrontation with Adam, Pyrrha’s fight with Cinder and ultimate death, Penny’s death.

V4: she’s literally the reason team RNJR exists and is heading to mistral

That’s what is known as ‘lip-service.’

We’ve been over this:  Throughout volume 4, Jaune Arc is the only one who mourns Pyrrha.  Jaune Arc is the only one who gets upset with Qrow.  Jaune Arc is the only one to get a weapon upgrade.  Jaune Arc gets treated like a leader during their fight with the Geist.  And then again with the Nucklavee.

When Ruby starts to get some of her emotions off of her chest, she is immediately shot down by Jaune.  And the rest of the scene is focused on Jaune.  That scene wasn’t about Ruby receiving support, it was about Jaune giving it.  To argue otherwise would be to argue that Weiss Schnee wasn’t the focus of her first character arc.

V5: her dedication to fighting Salem despite the lies and fears is what  keeps everyone else on that path. Also helps Oscar deal with the massive  changes in his life.

As before: No.

Dumbass, ‘lies and fears’ don’t come up until Volume 6.  The only ‘lies’ they confronted were their positions around the house.  Where the hell are you getting fears from?  They spent most of the volume waiting for the plot.

V6: is the embodiment of RWBY’s themes of perseverance in the face of  overwhelming odds, in particular highlighted by the apathy arc. Also  learns to focus on protecting life rather than destroying Grimm through  training with Maria,

So she learns to focus on protecting life instead of destroying Grimm...  By learning how to use her powers to destroy Grimm?

V8: is a vital part of pretty much everything. She leads a faction,  opposes ironwood, comes up with the plan to save Penny and the people of  mantle and atlas, and more

She doesn’t ‘save’ Penny.  She manipulated her into becoming human in one of the most insultingly ablest stories ever written.  And all it wound up accomplishing was insuring that Penny could die for realsies

The solution to saving Atlas and Mantle was pretty much handed to her by Whitley.  And all her contribution with the staff did was throw them from on dangerous situation into another.

Atlas and Mantle are now a crater, primarily because of her involvement.

So tldr:

No, Ruby hasn’t been screwed over anywhere near as much as is claimed

We’ve been saying this for over nine years now, drawing up graphs to illustrate character arcs, counting the amount of dialogue spoken by each character (I can’t find it, but Jaune was at least in top five), to recording the amount of time focused on each character.

You’re vague ass statements, most of which require ignoring what actually happened in each volume, ain’t gonna prove shit.

tldr:  You’re a dumbass.  Shut the fuck up.  Get out of our tag.

I hate RWBY rewrites haters!

Sorry the show isn't perfect!

Sorry that some fans are not satisfied with the original story!

Sorry that some fans are more creative than the writers of the show itself!

Sorry that you have to complain that everything isn't exactly step by step identical to the original!

You guys complain that male characters are getting attention but you don't realize that this is exactly the same problem as the canon show!

Stop bothering or harassing rewrite writers!!! They just do it for fun and you can't just treat the show as if it were the most perfect thing in the world because it's NOT!!!

Arrg, I'm going to block everyone who hates RWBY rewrites because you guys only know how to complain about the same shit but refuse to accept criticism of the show!!

I like RWBY in concept, in execution the show is an inconsistent mess!! Stop treating it like it isn't!!

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I want to bring it out into the open. Each of Oz’s main lieutenants are deconstructions of character archetypes. Well, everyone in RWBY is a deconstruction, but no one wants to talk about Oz’s circle.

Oz, as has been established, turns the fantasy mentor archetype on its head. Not only is he a bad mentor, whose reckless manipulations never pan out, but the protags are far less forgiving of his string-pulling, and have every right to be. Unforgiving, that is.

Ironwood, similarly, deconstructs the ‘Anti-authority authority figure’; like Captain Kirk (Star Trek) or Nick Fury (Marvel), they are military leaders who frequently chaff under their more politically-minded peers and superiors, who undercut those peers whenever they can. Unlike Kirk/Fury, this is not a sign of open-mindedness, but arrogance and stuborness, the childish belief that the rules don’t apply to him.

Qrow is much like Wolverine (X-Men), a ‘Bad Boy with a Gold Heart’ who is kept in line by his loyalty to the mentor figure. In this case, Qrow’s Too Cool For School ‘tude is coping mechanism and mask for the massive chip on his shoulder, and because his self-worth was tied so deeply to serving Oz, when Oz is exposed as the fraud he is, Qrow has a full-on breakdown.

Lionheart was much harder to figure out, given that he only has one volume’s worth of screen time, and even we don’t get much of Lionheart’s personality. I theorize that Lionheart was intended to be a dig at the ‘Token Minority’ archetype. For many series in the old days, there are these characters who supposed to represent different races. (For example, Haji from Johnny Quest). Unfortunately, these characters are rarely given any personality outside of ‘Guy from foreign culture’, often becoming a deliverer of stereotypical views showrunners have. CRWBY has stated that Lionheart was made headmaster by Oz as a token for Faunus (The series allegory for minorities), but we hear nothing of whether that did any good (Blake even accuses Oz of not doing more for the Faunus). It’s possible that because of this Lionheart lacked the strength of self to stop Salem from forcing his compliance with the attacks on Vale and Haven.

Theodore hasn’t appeared in the series proper, but from the book Before The Dawn I could make a case that he encompasses the stock shonen hero; destructive strength and a destructive temper. The problem is, he’s a moron, but lacks that ‘Deeper wisdom’ even himbos like Son Goku and Monkey D Luffy have to compensate. And his dependence on the smarter but weaker female lead (In this case, Rumpole) to handle the more organizational aspects of his position means that when Rumpole is compromised, Theodore’s shoddy management nearly causes Shade Academy to implode.
