I wouldn't.
It seems pretty clear that the Yang and Weiss talk is about her blowout with Blake (especially since the trailer seems to be exclusively V1 and V2), but it could be from something else. There are also dialogue changes with Ruby and Weiss during the exam.
Making up your own AU bullshit generated more clusterfucks to laugh at than it did fix any underlying issue with the IP. Not to mention that the spinoff is playing it safe by sticking the series between v1 and v2, the only volumes where the canon is still barebones but solid.
Its between V2 and V3, V1 and V2 are being recapped in the first two episodes. Making up your own AU bullshit means you don't have to care about the already thoroughly fucked canon.
Definitely odd, but Arryn and the VP of Product and Engineering did not work at the company at the same time, and he was promptly arrested.
They're already on it. I haven't clicked on this but I have a feeling that it's Adel's monotone voice trying to make jokes about how a carbon-copy of Weiss's personality is suddenly better because it's in the most generic anime style ever.
Based on the description it sounds like it falls into the same category the Evangelion Rebuilds, which is neither a sequel, a remake, a reboot nor an AU. The best way to describe it is maybe like different routes of a visual novel.
Well that's the thing, sticking it near the first two (arguably three) volumes is the best they can get if they want to it be branded official while also being "faithful" since there's little to contradict and a lot to flesh out. Look, there's no bigger justification sticking to the canon than that, and the "faithful to canon" bit is more for marketing than anything else, They can make an AU or a reboot if they wanted to but RWBY as a franchise is as profitable as participating in a MLM, because there is no one left besides most of us in this thread and the spergs on reddit and tumblr still care about the shitshow at this point.
Well let’s see.
I can think of a couple reasons why they would do this.
To throw in my 2 cents. It seems a little odd and vain for that guy to write a book about his 9 day stint in prison. However, I have no understanding of what Japanese prison is like or the contents of the book.
All of these people are lolcows of different varieties. Unless they say something notably funny it's not worth giving them the time of day. Critter and Twiins have huge egos with little backing, Adel thinks tiddie gachas are the peak of media, and Media might actually have the brain of a 12-year-old.
A whole book is definitely weird, and depending on its contents it could drive him further to guilt, since abusers tend to have certain kinds of personalities. But again, not our job.
Oh man, I worded that badly. No im for vic 100% I just mean his case and all the lies around it have made me perceptive on how easy it is to fuck over an innocent man.
This dude really has nothing going for him at all.
The man malds over RWBY on twitter at a daily basis for like 2 years now. Could we really expect anything more going on in his life?
You misread. I was making a point about how even if there's no trial, it doesn't mean someone is totally innocent. Innocent of proveable crime doesn't mean innocent from past misconduct. It's easy to fuck over an innocent man for sure, but it's no so black and white as a courtroom verdict. You can be a slimebag while committing no crime.
The venom in this is like that of a cone snail. Insanely potent and unneeded but kind of funny because of it. Woman says "hey, the allegations against someone directly involved in a project I'm part of remind me of my own trauma, and that sucks." This dude goes "excuse me, you're stupid and whiny, none of those allegations are even proven!" Then when she says "I'm going to do the project but donate my paychecks to charity," he switches to "how fucking dare you lie about people's trauma/past!"
There seems to be a real push internally at RT for the showrunners to include more gaps and spaces for tie-in media, they mentioned in one of the RTX streams or something that they put the timeskip in V7 in specifically so that they could slot the new game into the canon. For some reason they're really scared about allowing tie-in media to be its own thing, thinking that it not being canon will keep the main audience from watching it. But I don't think this has ever really been the case for anything, so I chalk it up to RT being RT and thinking on a completely different realm of reality.
That doesn't explain why Blake suddenly has a tail. It's just an AU thing, who cares? Why even mention canonocity at all? I'm with Chilson on this one, the post was retarded.
There's a running trend with the anti-rwby sphere that they not only hate the show, but absolutely despise all the people involved, right up to an d including the fucking VAs who are only involved insofar as they read bad dialogue off of a piece of paper. Floof artist is another one, the guy got clowned on by Barbara once at a con and has made it his personal mission to be a snide prick to her at every available opportunity since. There's a definite level of jealousy that seems to seep into all these people, they aren't very talented and they project their insecurities onto the cast and crew because RWBY is terrible but managed to be successful anyway. It's like kryptonite to self-obsessed weirdos who feel entitled to the success of their creative endeavors.
It really is a near jihad-level fanatacism, and you're probably right that it's rooted in a lot of jealousy. Every dedicated RWBY critic I know of is some sort of failed artist, the type who believes success should just come to them because they say so, regardless of skill, effort, or willingness to learn. Celtic, CJ, and Media are all over 26, all wishing to be professional writers, but have yet to make any sort of real impact in their lives, or even want to leave their parents' homes. They all have their RWBY rewrites where they get to lord over the one thing bad enough for them to have some kind of power over, whether that's true or not. It's like an autistic kid bullying a more autistic kid then getting furious when his victim remains happy and successful, furious to the point where he hates all his victim's associates, too, even down to the teachers who like him.
