RWBY - The Hindenburg on which Rooster Teeth rests its hopes, dreams and future

[Mega Black]

RWBY lacks focus without Monty. Preaching to the choir, but it does say something when your show was created by and ran by someone who seemed to thrive in conditions seen as horrendous (or at least could go a long time without complaining about it).

Monty had that Asian work ethic, he also got to do things his way which just happened to coincide with shit working conditions. Shane mentioned that he and Monty would sit in the office and jam out to music and just hammer out animation that way, something RT put the kibosh on the microsecond he died in favor of soul crushing assembly line animating.

RWBY was directionless with Monty too, though. He may have had a more concrete idea of how things would ultimately shake out but it's been said a thousand times how he would just drop shit into Miles and Kerry's laps last second. Season 2's post credit scene, Neo in general, maidens, it was his vanity project so like most amateur creators he just crammed everything he thought was cool into his show without much thought or buildup.

The show actually got more solid direction when he died, since there was now a structure and goal to work towards, it's just a shit direction.

Man, this series really went off the rails as the season went on. First it was anime-inspired adventures in a school setting. Then it went into a major storyline arc with a chief villain, character deaths, and plot twists. Now it seems to have diverted from the "kill the Big Bad" quest to some filler season.

RWBY's writers liked to say that V1-3 are a sort of extended prologue. V4 and on are new formula RWBY, where rather than rip off anime Monty liked they decided to rip off more of Avatar instead. The show became one season of plot/one season of filler after that to drag things out. A season of traveling to the new location, then a season at that location, repeat ad nauseum.

I still believe in that conspiracy theory that his wife killed him via tainted allergy medicine. No woman in her right mind would go out and buy breast implants after her husband croaked.

I've beaten this dead horse long time coming, but again, Monty should had worked things out to a matured level of progress with RWBY. He really should had also invested in writing and kept working on RWBY in the backdrop while continuing his day job and let Rooster Teeth in on what he was working on to further work on stuff behind the scenes before getting out the final, completed, totally ready form of RWBY. That's how a lot of productions work.

I think another major problem is that again, he hired Miles and Kerry onto his writing team. Would it had been that hard to try to find writers who liked anime and was well versed in it as fans and writers to try and write for RWBY instead of total professionals but also totally clueless people who have no business in his passion project? The late 1990s and the 2000s had a bunch of animeshit to work with; not just in anime but video games too. Them drawing upon Avatar is like thinking fruit flavored fructose candy would make for a good subtitute for actual real fruit to be used in a dessert. Like, I'm sorry if you're a fan of Avatar, but I'm not sorry. There's shit like Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star, Guilty Gear, Tales, all sorts of rich anime worlds to draw inspiration from and work your imagination with if you want a modernistic comfort with fantasy conventions anime world, and you're going to get it from the Nickelodeon amerime show that's only existed by 2004? Sounds absolutely fucking lazy and poserish to me. No passion, only a fucking day job and a pipe dream at that point. I'm sure that Kerry and Miles would have done better doing other shit than RWBY as well.

tl;dr delays are temporary; mediocrity is forever

Conspiracy theory? I thought non-RWBY/RT shills always knew that that's exactly what happened. Hell, there's too much proof of it happening.

it's more of an over-exposure to an allergen thing. He was exposed to an allergen he was getting treatments for (cat dander) which can be deadly when you're getting allergy shots/.

kdin has his inputs on rwby. (This was on the subreddit and while i couldn’t verify it exactly. fIgured it was still worth posting here.).

Sounds like Kdin isn’t too optimistic about the future.

Allergy shots, which he had to get after his wife brought cats despite of knowledge of his allergy. Mind you, said wife was unknown to almost everyone before Monty got to the critical conditions, only coming in knowledge when Monty's GFM kicked-in.

Monty's wife was a cosplay whore. I don't think his death was anything more than stupidity on everyone's part, her included, but also him since he also wanted the retarded feral cat they found despite his severe allergy.

She took the money and got a boobjob because she was going back onto market and knew her only value was as a piece of ass for nerds to gush over.

I don't think she killed him intentionally. But I remember reading that she pulled the plug on him while he was comatose before his family could even arrive to weigh in. Typical stupid whore behavior.

Its basically what we have been saying since 2020, minus the pointless typical troon pity party and inane whining.

It is nice to get the flags signaling the immenent death of RT and RWBY confirmed from an inside source though. Even if it's from some mentally ill Troon.

I'm willing to partially blame Monty. I don't care how much you love someone, if they insist on you being around something you are deathly allergic to, fuck em. Better to be alive and single, than dead.

I'm not saying she intentionally killed him, tho her actions afterwards aren't really those of a loved one. It's not the boob-job she got that's the issue, it's the fact that she grifted off the GFM made for Monty after Monty's death, made a grift out of Monty's death in general, sold his signed merch (something he was so against that he had tard-rage moments in public with just giveaways), & my personal favourite, selling the keychains of the cat that killed him on Etsy.

Monty definitely is to blame in this too. He inability to say no did somewhat kill him equally as much as Sheena's bullshit.

He married a "professional" cosplay con-slut thot. If Monty didn't know she was going to be a sociopathic narcissistic leech during and after the relationship, then that is really his fault.

True, as I said, Monty himself is to partly blame for his death too. However, I also believe that if he was alive, he might've became a lolcow too.

The main character's weapon and design are ripped straight from Soul Eater's main character Maka.

I think that was one. If memory serves, Miles and Kerry talked about the ones Monty wanted them to watch by name.
