What the fuck is going on with Yang? What the flying fuck did they do? How did RT get shown this only for them to say "yeah, looks amazing"?

I guess they’re going for some sort of Amazon thing or something, but it is kinda a mess, yeah.

Pretty bold to assume someone at RT looked at this or approved it.

When your company is bleeding money, you don't get to dictate things like this to the parent company - plus they're probably praying the Justice League tie-in is enough to boost interest in RWBY to a point where the company might hang on a bit longer.

Considering how bad RWBY is currently - even if someone were ask to approve it I'm sure they approved it enthusiastically and genuinely.

Also holy fuck Blake looks terrible.

Funny thing is, DC is also bleeding money somewhat. Only relying on WB.

Meanwhile, Ruby without her combat skirt is a downright design sin.

She at least really needs to have a hood, both to tie her to the character she was based on and because it be very fitting in the DC universe.
 
you can really feel the budget and crew cuts this season

the biome design and lighting is atrocious and that intro looks like a 2nd year student project, like its all so ugly to look at.
oof

And we go to Brunswick Farms. And we get some Adam if you're into that kind of thing.

The name "Fixing Rwby" is so pretentious. There is no proper animation, the designs are consistently worse, it's a mishmash of art styles, it's narrated, and built off free labor to top it off. We've already gone over Celtic's bad writing, fart-huffing, and lesbian fetishization.
"Maria rolls her eyes."
How??

-The question is asked of what it’s like to take a character from an established storyline to a unique one, and how that’s seen from the POV of an actor. Barbara says it’s interesting to be separated, especially at the end of V8. The moment she really loves is when Team RWBY finds Yang and Yang says that the crew isn’t supposed to be there and that if they’re together, things must be bad. She calls it “a little heartbreaking”.

Lindsay says that she loves this is happening. She mentions Ruby’s journey in V4 in an attempt to be a leader and not put anybody else in harm’s way. From her standpoint, she loves exploring the world, but Ruby is dealing with a lot and is on her own by force.

-The question is given about how an actor portrays carrying the old baggage but having to react to something crazy. Barbara says the biggest deal is for Weiss since her home was destroyed and unable to fully process the events, with Eddy saying Weiss is very no nonsense in general. Lindsay thinks Ruby has taken some of Weiss’s attitude, where she’s annoyed with everything despite all the whimsy around her.

Barb says that it’s always a challenge when actors get put in these scenarios of trauma, but says that’s part of the fun of being VA is putting yourself into the situation and finding out how your character would deal with it. She describes Yang as using comedy as a way to get through tough situations, and she says that comes out a lot in this volume, something she calls “really fun”.

-Kerry says that even though characters are in a bad place, they won’t just be moping around all the time, saying how everyone has been in a bad situation where something tough was happening, but you still crack the occasional joke. He describes it as taking the baggage , putting it into a bottle, and slowly releasing it. Barb says it’s like “sitting on your suitcase to zip it.” Eddy says that Ruby specifically having a moment where everything is catching up to her is one of the more interesting about this volume.

-Kerry says it was amazing to have a lower number of characters to deal with compared to previous volumes. He says it’s always tough to balance everybody and their screen time , so he liked being able to scale back and really knowing who to focus on. Eddy says making sure everyone is able to get their dues is tough, and a lot of the time, many characters are lumped together. He says one of the things he likes about chapter two specifically is telling a lot of smaller stories in one episode. Barbara mentions/jokes about having a three hour recording session.

I legit thought Barbara was a troon in that thumbnail.

He wants to try to "flesh out" Adam by making his backstory tragic, but he fails to understand that you eventually reach a point where things can become so tragic as to become comedic due to them appearing almost farcical.

This is also for a character whose eye was fucking branded with a slave serial number in RWBY proper. Sure, Adam was absolutely wasted in RWBY proper but I understood why he would be just a bit more peeved at humans than other Faunus by that alone than whatever the fuck Celtic is doing with him.

That's kinda what I'm getting at, right now Adam's childhood as presented in FRWBY is comically tragic when in the regular show we were given just enough to show that he had some legitimate reasons for being as pissed off as he was without making him into a parody of a Victorian era London street urchin.

The obvious answer to improve Adam and make him feel more sympathetic would be to simply show when he got branded back when working at the Dust mines. One or two scenes in a flashback, that's it.

Adam's mom having to suck cock for rent is just retarded, edgy, and, like everything else Celtic writes, suspiciously fetishistic.

You don't even need the flashback, just have the story actually take a moment to reflect on it.

The problem with Adam's brand in the show isn't that it isn't edgy enough or that we don't have a flashback dedicated to it, it's that after the entire show failing to effectively show Faunus Oppression and after Adam's motivation being thrown out to just be about Blake, we only learn such a major detail in what amounts to a throw away taunt. No questions, no dialogue, just dropped immediately in the episode before his death and never mentioned again even though one of our main characters is heiress to the company that did this and we're about to deal directly with that Company's CEO in the next volume.

It's one of those bizarre writing decisions because even utterly shit writers would see no reason to introduce such a major shit about a character at the last minute when that character is going to be killed off adn never mentioned again..

And then CRWBY realised that backstory didn't make Adam pathetic enough and retcon'd it so that Adam's brand actually had nothing to do with the SDC and he just got into an accident during a brawl.
