And they aren’t winging it now?
More they're winging it in ways that are far more boring and prone to give less entertaining results than the old style of winging it.
There’s nothing really interesting to talk about when it comes to RWBY these days. Even with the fandom.
We'll get new things to talk about if V9 comes out. Until then it's laughing at the FNDM/Showrunners and they've been in the same cycle for about three volumes now.
Or if Celtic Phoenix has anything new.
I consider him part of the FNDM, truthfully I consider all those critics that hate the show but spend the majority of their time talking about it part of the FNDM too.
Me personally? Probably not, I don't see the appeal of Arcane and I don't like Raymond's streams since nothing is ever fucking balanced.
Arcane is just a way to explain the lore of League of Legends.
When in doubt, assume waifus.
A decent enough reason to watch something, but none of these waifus interest me.
At least the part around the conflict between Piltover and Zaun with the cornerstone being the relationship between Vi and Jinx. It's actually and unironically pretty good. Shockingly good even given the fact it's a Netflix series based on a MOBA.
You know, given how they’re drastically changing things right out the gate when it took Celtic Phoenix about 5 volumes….this is going to be fun.
I'd probably watch Arcane if just for the animation if it wasn't for the obnoxious choice of protagonists. I could not be more sick of the Jinx archetype, let alone lesbians.
I just look at these and I see a monumental waste of effort. All that work to make fanfiction of someone else's project. Just make your own shit you retards, even if it's RWBY inspired.
I'm still aghast he made them watch anime as 'homework' for RWBY, given his choices were nearly all shit or average. This is what happens when you set out to make your own anime, not write a decent story and let it be whatever it is in the end. It will never, ever work out well.
I fully understand that it makes all the wrong first impressions. League of Legends, Netflix, western animation, the designs of Vi and Jinx etc. And after the series of dumpster fires and humanitarian disasters, especially in form of Batwoman, two of the main girls (Vi and Caitlyn) being unironic lesbians was also inspired little confidence, if not outright dread. And yet they made it work. I don't want to sperg too much about Arcane, since we have a thread for that, but thinking about it does make me wonder what impact on western animation RWBY could have had if it was, in spite of its low budget, handled by competent writers.
On one hand I think it's part of the fun of RWBY, coming up with ways on how you'd improve it as the premise is interesting and the potential is there. But on the other hand I fully agree that most of these people, among them genuinely talented artists, would be far better off investing their God given autism into doing their own original work.
High recommendation. Jinx is an actual loon who has a very good portrayal of what that actually looks like in a person.
