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

[Dumpster dived waifu]

so...literally nothing new, plus the subreddit stuff that major companies are doing? Why did he even bother making the vid?

He needs that YouTube bucks.

 

[I Love Beef]

Why would Rooster Teeth or Monty even give a shit about Gay Marriage being illegal in America? It's a fucking web-show based on anime which is notoriously known for having lesbians unlike western cartoons.

Because it came out in 2013, and then Trump was elected and everyone felt they had to use their platform for good.

A complicated but explainable history of political and cultural conditioning that has been intertwined with sequential arts in the United States of America.

Also Blackrock.

Ah yes, the super duper complex characters such as the creator's self-insert who gets more attention than our four main female protaganists! Or Yang, who's too busy tonguing Blake to worry about silly things like the end of the world or her little sister. Or Ruby, who is canonically a Mary Sue now, because she's been acknowledged as perfect in-universe. Such nuanced and impactful writing! The visual feast of this white bread-bologna-American cheese-mayo written faux anime!

I love how the fat hag props up RWBY as "NOT YOUR DADDY'S ANIME" when I bet she never was around in the 1990s anime boom and was most likely some Tori Amos carpet eating womyn. Man, I bet if she learned about Alita or Chun-li or Makoto Kusanagi or Lina Inverse or any REAL ANIME WOMEN outside of her pathetic half baked amerime world, it would blow her fucking mind.

Seethe and mald, amerime batta yariman gaijin trash bag.

I don't know if you noticed, but as they say in the State Farm commercials, she's a guy.
People in the RWDE tag frequently refer to RWBY as the most white-bread skim milk faux anime, because it's written by a couple of American neckbeards. The most "nuance" RWBY has is like some dance-around of serious topics for some super sheltered snowflake kinds of people. You can easily find any anime, heck, any TV show or movie from any country you want, and it could portray heavy topics better than RWBY has.
Like, Jesus, consume more media.

Finally, someone who I can pull off my Otto Mann "Are you a chick?" schtick. He does look like an ugly woman who has an attitude just as ugly. At least he has that going for him!

shittalkin' n' posting from me, but back in my day we always made fun of fake anime by calling it amerime or wannabe anime. To call it an actual anime is an insult, lol. On a more serious note, they are extremely coddled and they really haven't watched anything else. A trashy and ultraviolent OAV from the 1990s brings more to the table than RWBY.

I've been meaning to post this, but never got around to it. Why are Grimm a problem? Vol 4 recon of how Grimm are born makes handling them very easy. The kingdoms could have completely stopped all new Grimm within a few years.

Pre-Vol 4, while not explicably stated (as far as I can remember), the idea was that negative emotions not only attracted Grimm, but created them. This worked pretty well at keeping them always a threat, and making the Great War seem realistic. Vol 4's retcon of this makes the Great War retarded. Let me explain why:

From Vol 4 onwards, Grimm are born in Grimm pools located in Salem's domain (called Land of Darkness). These 'pools' with two exceptions (Wyvern was able to spit out more when it attacked Beacon, and Salem's mobile home) are only in that one place. Logic would dictate that if you can figure out where those pools are, they'd be easy to contain, right? Well...it's no big secret where they are. Let's pull up RWBY's (official) map.

Now, I'll color in all the land Ozpin's group controls as of Volume 1 (technically Mistral is somewhat inaccurate because of Raven's raiding that Lionheart can't or doesn't want to take care of, and technically his hold over the north is tenuous due to it mostly being controlled by criminals, and technically Malachite only barely has less power in Mistral than Lionheart, but my point still stands, I think)

So, what is left? Menagerie, and the Dragon continent. Managerie, as we know, is not where Salem is, but is still not governed by Ozpin's loyalists. But! Let's assume that the Land of Darkness could be in Menagerie too (the assumption is flawed because Ozpin knows exactly where it is, given that his wife during the reign of Gods knew it). How do we solve the Grimm problem? Observe!

Station ships around these two areas. Maybe invest in a sonar and anti-air. That's it. The Grimm cannot leave, and now all that's left is to mop up the existing ones.

Reminder, as Raven, and Qrow confirm, everything we see (including the kingdoms) was done that way by Ozpin. There is zero reason that with such influence and power he could not have taken care of the issue already. I will grant him some leeway on the Mt. Glenn since the Grimm there have evolved to be unharmable (wtf?), but there's no fucking reason he couldn't have solved this already.

Raven seems like the most reasonable character here; she learned of this, found out that she was on a team that is staffed by brain dead retards and left to do her own thing.

Fuck, by Volume 1, Atlas has enough Air Fleet to do this. Even when big amount of it was damaged in Volume 3, by Volume 8, their fleet had grown even bigger.

Re:Great War. Atlas wanted to remove emotions to stop Grimm problem. Pre-Vol 4, this was seen as understandable given the danger the Grimm posed. While Atlas were in the wrong, they did try to save humanity. Post Vol 4, this makes it retarded, because Atlas could have just stopped the Grimm from entering Atlas.

 

[Dumpster dived waifu]

Wait, Grimm just spawn in pools in on an uninhabited island? Surely Atlas could just mass manufacture nukes and launch them at the island until the problem just stopped.

 

[Random Internet Person]

@Useful_Mistake I was going to have some quip ready to go about how the Grimm were only there to do some XP grinding or just be some monsters to tear up (like the Red trailer), but the way you put it, I’m pretty sure even the lamest Final Fantasy knockoff wouldn’t do something that convoluted.

Also, all the shit about everything being by Ozpin’s design and going to shit as was revealed by Raven is I think something you could call a missed opportunity to expand on.

 

[Useful_Mistake]

revealed by Raven

Technically Qrow revealed it too in World of Remnant.

"and the Warrior King, the last king Vale would ever have, founded the Huntsman Academies and placed his most trusted followers in command of each Kingdom's school."

I mean, it's debatable about how much influence Ozpin had pre-Great War, but it's clear that at the end of Great War he started his program of placing loyalists in positions of power to give him control (as Qrow and Raven explain)

Surely Atlas could just mass manufacture nukes and launch them at the island until the problem just stopped.

I was operating under the theory that you cannot stop the pools themselves, and offered the next best thing. Point is, Grimm being a danger is stupid.

Sure, maybe the nukes wouldn't close the portal, but godspeed to all of the Grimm trying to survive the constantly dust powered magic nuke landing on their heads.

If a highly dangerous monster consistently spawns in exactly one spot, and you already have the tech to just instant kill them, it should no longer be a threat unless a) leadership is incompetent or b) leadership wants to profit.

Grimm are dumb, stop explaining every aspect of your monsters.

 

[Useful_Mistake]

Well, there are more pools on that Dragon-shaped continent, but they are roughly in the same spot.

Grimm are dumb, stop explaining every aspect of your monsters.

Yeah. The lack of info about them in Vol 3 worked to their advantage. The only thing now which stops people from realizing this mess is that they have not yet noticed the proverbial courtain.

All they really care about is, "lol cool monster". Or, getting RT to notice their fanart, or worrying about RT "stealing" their OSEEEES!!!

After the "smart" Grimm showed up, you would think somebody just died and it was the end of the world all rolled into one.

The tension was absolutely breathtaking. (Hint: I get more tension from opening Christmas presents that I already know is my uncle's hand-me-down flannel shirt).

After the "smart" Grimm showed up

Volume 3:
Grimm can actually become smart enough to understand concepts such as value of their life, and learn to fear death, as well as learning cause and effect.

Volume 4-9: "I'm going to pretend I didn't see that."

Like Salem's experimental "Smart" Grimm has nothing on the evolved Glenn Grimm.

Couldn’t you just keep it to where Grimm can evolve and just be hard to kill, or at least be something that can’t be easily taken out by a bunch of kids? Like what happened with Mt. Glenn?

 

[Useful_Mistake]

'Can't', you mean?

 

[Mega Black]

I don't remember this

Jaune killing Penny is framed with a very intentional shot of the tip of his sword slicked with a bit of blood and two wet droplets hitting the ground in what I can very clearly tell is meant to be a 'deflowering a maiden' metaphor.

Who?

Blake and Yang have disarmed Adam leaving him effectively defenseless when they both decide to rush forward and double homicide him at the same time. People say it isn't a murder because he was trying to kill them first but when he is essentially unable to fight back that's what it is.

Literally wasn't even implied though. Worst is Adam being somewhat manipulative.

They definitely fucked at some point.

I've been meaning to post this, but never got around to it. Why are Grimm a problem?

I appreciate your logical write up there but the answer is and always will be because the show isn't well thought out at all and needs them to be.

 

[Random Internet Person]

'Can't', you mean?

Thanks. Sometimes I type in a rush.

Also, in terms of Grimm, while it seems every Grimm can eventually be taken out by a bunch of kids/teenagers/high school dropouts if the HP goes low enough (which shouldn’t really happen so regularly IMO), anyone else think that the Grimm are now at the limit of credibility when it comes to being beaten?

We have Salem, who was Grimmified along with being immortal, Cinder who is part Grimm and could potentially be MORE Grimmified if things go the way I think things could go, the Hound in V8 who was Silver Eyes underneath the Grimm (not sure if they ever explained how he got to that point or if it was just shock value), and Silver Eyes themselves that can stop pretty much any Grimm just by looking at it, with our MC being the only one who can use this power apparently.

I have this feeling that any more developments about Grimm and/or Silver Eyes, and we reach a stage of either Naruto where the villains and main honchos enter a cycle of ass pulls regarding villains being too powerful to stop and the heroes getting access to a power (or having it all along but not knowing it) in order to stop the OP villain…or something like Jotaro vs Dio in Stardust Crusaders where all the cool aspects of the action take a back seat or are outright ignored in favor of raw power, brute strength, and plain ridiculous ways of the two sides trying to one up each other.

Jaune killing Penny is framed with a very intentional shot of the tip of his sword slicked with a bit of blood and two wet droplets hitting the ground in what I can very clearly tell is meant to be a 'deflowering a maiden' metaphor.

Anything sexual is really overthinking it. It’s simply “Jaune hasn’t really done anything all volume, give him something to do so we can justify having him around.” Also, the blood thing was just their way of saying “We’re killing her, and she’s staying dead!”.

Also, I think this is just them continuing to have Ruby be upstaged by having Jaune do the heavy shit so the company mascot can keep having the same marketable personality.

 

[Fishy Fish Fish]

Interestingly on the implied sexual abuse bit, Adam says this when finding Blake in Argus:

People hurt me long before we met... All sorts of people in all sorts of ways...

Well, that sure does have some implications.

Oh hey, there's also this line about Mercury in the theme song he shares with Emerald:

By the hate and the beatings defiled by a father

When you use the word "defiled" in reference to a person, it typically is used in reference to rape. I've seen a few people say that this line is referring to the fact that Marcus stole Mercury's semblance, buttt was that even an established thing in V3? Considering how constantly M&K pull things out of their assess, I wouldn't be surprised if Mercury not having a semblance was just some explanation they came up with for V6.

They're either trying to kill the company on purpose, or they really are that full of themselves.
