Watching videos about penguins, learning that if a penguin mother loses their chick, they try and kidnap another mother's chick. A huge crowd of them will.
It made me think of @lemonadesun's penguin allusion to Atlas, lol.
I haven't seen the new RWBY Beyond thing yet, but between the screenshots of it and V9, I just gotta say... Do the writers want us to treat their show with the slightest bit of seriousness?
They always have big important supposed-to-be-emotional scenes, things like people mourning the loss of Team RWBY who people think are dead, and then they're like "here's Sun and Neptune in a glorified chibi sketch! Look at their mustaches!" We're supposed to think people think that Team RWBY might be dead, right?
Like this was a small jump of a shark in the Office.
Are we supposed to treat Beyond with as little real weight as RWBY Chibi? Or do they just not know how to do any better?
And then V9, they're like "Ruby is grieving Penny, holding onto her sword, clearly falling deeper and deeper into despair - LOOK, Weiss got clonked on the head with a rock! it's the funny block guards! They're here to tell funny jokes!"
I understand that RWBY as a show needs to have some room to make comedic jokes, but they do not do that in a good well done way. It's like they're not even treating this show seriously themselves at all, so how can I? Like for once could they try to not diminish and undercut anything serious that happens in the show?
I still can't get it out of my head that after SIX VOLUMES WHERE:
Beacon fell
Sun ditched his team and ran off to another continent because Blake needed a comic relief (and showrunners were still queerbaiting).
Mistral had it's huntsmen wiped and academy attacked
Atlas and Mantle literally got destroyed
Vale got offscrened
WF tore itself apart
Team RWBY went "missing"
There's a world destroying immortal satan with god mcguffins.
All that the showrunners can think of when it comes to writing Sun and Neptune(who is from Mistral btw) is STILL just "ayyy Volume 2 comedy clown segment"...
If there was a moment to showcase just how RWBY writers are completely unable to progress characters in any way or have them react to story beats, this would be it.
Funny how you guys say we only want Dillon Goo to buy RWBY just because he's an animator, yet were whining and bitching that if someone bought RWBY and didn't being CRWBY with them, then it wasn't RWBY. "It's their story!"
Pretty Clear that you guys don't care and just want CRWBY to keep doing the same bullshit that caused RWBY's downward spiral.
Dillon may be an animator, but he's right now the only person willing to take a chance because Crunchyroll doesn't care, and RWBY isn't profitable enough for any company that wants to take it. The reason why you guys don't want Dillion is because he's friends with Shane, and he might bring Shane back. That's the reason.
And I know Lilith is gonna try and find this post, they can try and spin some narrative or some shit but people who know me know that while I do like bumbleby, I didn't like how it was written. But Lilith will ignore that. Much like a lot of shit. Then again what do you expect from someone who never watched RWBY and had beef with people over Madoka?
fanon Jaune Arc is the most insufferable dudebro stand-in I've ever seen. he's the definition of mid. you could replace him with any bland isekai protagonist or harem protagonist in fics and there'd be no difference. if you go into any other character tag there's a 90% chance there'll be multiple posts of characters talking to each other about how cool jaune is. if you go into ao3 and do the same you'll be bombarded with jaune harem fics that all start to melt together after you've scrolled through 40 of them. he's so far removed from canon jaune. that's not my boy. my boy does not have rizz or game (except for that one time with pyrrha bc she's INTO his failboy persona). he is a soaking wet dog who was born in a cardboard box. i will kill fanon jaune with my own bare hands and then give canon jaune a blanket. can you tell ive been looking through character tags and going on a block exodus.
Most of what's happening to RT is their own doing. RWBY was bleeding them dry and it wasn't making a profit. Barb admitted they weren't making as much money as they did in 2011.
It's RT's fault for pouring money into projects that didn't make much of a profit, its RT's fault for mismanaging money, its RT's fault for treating their staff like shit. Them making Bumbleby canon, was literally a last-ditch effort for them to get profit (merch as well) and it backfired on them. And this is coming from someone who ships bumbleby.
As much flak I give WBD, this is the only time where their not at fault. RT played the game of fuck around and find out.
"You're just an animator, you have no idea how story arcs or character works" Damn, what does that say about the people whose actual job description says "Writer" then?
These and braindead "Monty himself said he was never a good writer" takes pisses me the fuck off. A guy acknowledged his forte is in animation and he's not as confident at writing and you clowns take that as OBJECTIVE FACT and blame all the bad writing on him while absolving the bad writing from his collaborators written after his passing just to blame him posthumously, god
