You know now that we're so far out from Monty's death, a lot of us need to start piping up with more force when it comes to Rooster Teeth acting like they never took advantage of that, never changed anything.
I see people roll their eyes in response to "whining" about Monty's "vision", but I mean--Volume Three hits, and suddenly Adam is a wifebeating incel, Emerald is just oh-so-stricken, and Ruby has eye beams?
Come on. This shit's written on the walls. If this were a fandom besides RWBY, for a product under a company besides Rooster Teeth, everyone would see it., it wouldn't even be in question. If they wanted people to be able to trust in them, maybe they shouldn't have taken a jackhammer to the show and started drilling holes in it the very second the show creator passed away?
So apparently Neath Oum responded on twitter to pestering about how Chicken Dentures' collapse affects him. Good news: not in any 'I was directly depending on this shit company' sense-his actual employment is totally unconnected. Less good but unsurprising news: his Ren-voicing was unpaid.
The Justice League and RWBY are teaming up, with the DC heroes and and Rooster Teeth characters joining forces for an animated movie.
Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part One arrives on digital, 4k and blu-ray in the spring. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern and Vixen are transported to the strange world of Remnant, and find themselves turned into teenagers. Meanwhile, Remnant heroes Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang must combine forces with the Justice League to uncover why their planet has been mysteriously altered before a superpowered Grimm destroys everything.
The film voice stars Natalie Alyn Lind as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, Chandler Riggs as Superman/Clark Kent and Nat Wolff as Batman/Bruce Wayne. RWBY mainstays reprising there roles are Lindsay Jones as Ruby, Kara Eberle as Weiss, Arryn Zech as Blake and Barbara Dunkelman as Yang.
The film hails from Rooster Teeth Animation, Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment with Kimberly S. Moreau, Ethan Spaulding and Jim Krieg producing, Laura Yates serving as supervising producer, Sam Register and Michael Uslan executive producing.
Meghan Fitzmartin penned the script, with RWBY‘s Kerry Shawcross directing.
Other actors include Ozioma Akagha as Vixen, Jen Brown as Pyrrha, Tiana Camacho as Glynda, Aaron Dismuke as Oscar, Jason Douglas as Jacques, David Errigo Jr. as The Flash/Barry Allen and Rolf, Samantha Ireland as Nora, Miles Luna as Jaune, Shannon McCormick as Professor Ozpin, Neath Oum as Lie Ren, Tara Platt as Kali, Jeannie Tirado as Green Lantern and Tru Valentino as Cyborg.
RWBY was created by the late Monty Oum and is the first western-produced Anime series disributed in Japan. It has a ninth season currently in the works, with the franchise amassing 271 million views online and generating $20 million in consumer product sales.
This is not the first time the franchise has had a brush with DC, with the comic book series RWBY x Justice League published from 2021-22.
As the fool who posted that comment about Neath Oum's response to the shutdown on wondyweiss' page, I owe them, you & others who reblogged an apology: Neath's tweets stated his voice work with RT was free*lance* (not free), and my dumb ass missed the 'lance' part. Sorry about the fuckup.
Why RWBY Criticism is rarely constructive or respectful, and why haters of RWBY hide their toxic behavior behind the “criticism card”
When I blazed a RWBY Positivity Resource post last weekend, I was harassed by RWBY Haters accusing me of being unable to take criticism.
These people? Kept saying “RWBY Bad” or “RT is pandering” or “Fandom is toxic” but act like they know what criticism is.
They also screamed about “valid criticism” and “lost potential”
Here is from https://twitter.com/meliorqte/status/1540864352357699586
Judgmental Critter and her sister Twiins Iink repeatedly make video after video defending male villains and attacking female protagonists.
If you ever call out their severe hatred towards RWBY and their harassment of RWBY Fans, critics accuse anyone defending the show from their criticism of being “misogynists” or “toxic positivity”
I have never heard of toxic positivity until RWBY Critics started using it in their videos to harass RWBY Fandom and the writers.
Vexed Viewer repeatedly makes one video after another insulting female characters...People claim he’s “progressive” even as he insulted the #MeToo movement in 2019 while he was mourning Vic Micnogna’s sentencing.
UoW basically made transphobic rewrites that supported abusive relationships. Which was after his ex, another youtuber, left UoW for being emotionally abusive, something that UoW’s rewrite promotes, to where Bumbleby and Renora are written as emotionally abusive, and people defend that?
Raymond McNeil made sexist and racist “fixing rwby” that basically was one big middle finger to each and everyone one of rwby’s themes and elements (he made a sexual predator the stepfather of Yang and included “faunus heat cycles” while having women lose to men in most fights)
And Eruptionfang promoted the toxic “qrow is ruby’s father theory” and repeatedly idolized adam taurus before his channel got taken down.
A criticism is meant to be respectful, meant to be helpful.
Accusing the show of “sucking, bad, etc”? Wanting RWBY to die? NOT Criticism.
Behold every single RWBY Critic.
“RWBY deserves better than the writers who literally created it”
These are the same people who like to talk about Monty’s vision or what Monty wanted.
But what was it that Monty wanted.
Here’s the first from the man himself!
The first one being? Qrow is not Ruby Rose’s father.
But as you know, every single defender of this theory accuses Monty and CRWBY of being liars.
When a theory is shut down by the writers/creators, its no longer a headcanon, its an obsession with wishing a lie would be truth.
Sadly?
Too many “youtubers who claim to love RWBY more than CRWBY” refuse to accept canon because it doesn’t serve their bias.
This youtuber, Sytokun? Who is basically making “RWBY Remnants”
Basically claims to love RWBY but repeatedly insults the show’s writing and its writers.
How many times must the writers Debunk a theory before these fanatics accept that the theory is wrong, and that insulting the writers because you don’t get what you want is wrong?
THIS is why I treat the “Qrow is Ruby’s father” theory as beyond contemptible. Because not only does it involve the writers lying for years on end, romanticizes the deadbeat dad, and encourages spitting on the complex family dynamic that is the xiao long rose family?
But also 95% of every single one of these theorists has insulted Monty, his friends, etc....and then claim “its just a headcanon, bro” when called out on their toxicity.
Anyway, moving on to Quote 2 from Monty Oum
Well....I’m sure I don’t need to explain this one?
Every single RWBY Critic when asked to please stop watching RWBY if they don’t like it or if they keep insulting Monty’s friends?
They refuse , because they say they “criticize from a place of love” while they accuse Miles and Kerry, who Monty handpicked to write RWBY...of “Running RWBY into the ground after Monty’s death”
So wait, they wait till after Monty is dead to insult his friends and coworkers Checks every single RWBY Critic channel....yep, looks like pretty much every single RWBY Critics ignores this quote...especially HBomberguy who made half of his 3 hour video into a hate spiel against Monty’s friends.
And finally....Number 3
This was for the fans who actually enjoy RWBY....
I just.....whenever I hear “I’m making this rewrite as a love letter to Monty and RWBY” All I think about is Fallout New Vegas Frontier, whose writers had the similar arrogance the these rewriters do with their claim of FNVF being a “magnum opus”.
I cannot confirm this quote by George Martin but...
These people have got to stop.
I’m going to leave it at this.
And will end this with a fantastic statement by Neath Oum...aka Monty’s Brother.
Ever wanted to be zen like Ren? (Yes, I saw my opportunity to rhyme and took it.) This is your chance! For $29.99 + shipping, his plushie could be yours! As of when I’m posting this, he has 16 days left to fund and is 32% of the way there.
Since I’m not sure if Neath has a tumblr to reblog it, so going to post this here for those not using twitter (though feel free to pop in to give Neath a like and kind comments xD):
