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

What are the odds of warner bros just giving this shit to the Japanese and let them do whatever with it? Because frankly that's probably the best way of making a buck

I too wish we got a reboot in anime form, the first I think three episodes of Ice Queendom where they sort of abridge volume I where nice, a little rushed but it was meant to be a retelling, sadly the actual plot was really lame, but maybe some other studio could produce a better story from the bones of the original series, its never gonna happen but a man can dream

You're right. It's a smart decision so it'll never happen

It's not really a smart decision for WB - they can't really sell it.

No decent studio is going to want to buy it, they'd rather work on a different IP or create one entirely. WB would have to maximize sales, so they can't really sell it for bottom dollar - meaning they're going to hold onto it for a while.

RWBY also doesn't have a lot of value - with a lot of the ideas being taken from public domain stories (fairy tales and such), anime tropes (characters with ironic, unexplainable powers), and rooted in real world issues (racism, classism, etc). It doesn't have a huge audience, a huge draw, a dedicated fanbase, or even a real "lightning rod" of a person now that Monty is dead.

There isn't that much for WB to even sell.

As of this post, The new RWBY X Justice League crossover part 2 movie trailer has around 300k views on the official Warner Bros YouTube channel. Which might sound good, but it’s embarrassingly bad in context.

First the views dropped in half from part 1 that was around 600k for the trailer alone.

Secondly, and more importantly, The Justice League is one of the biggest entertainment franchises in the world. Anything that has Batman, and Superman on it, as long as it is mildly competent, should sell like hotcakes.

Justice League animated videos (any version really) are usually in the million range…for random clips, not even full on trailers. But, the, trailers for animated movies are huge too. Also in the 4 Million range , on average. The TMNT Batman crossover, for literal, kids also has several trailers and clips in the million range. Some Random clips have 8 or even 12 million views.

Rwby X Justice League random clips are around the 50k to 1k range.

Point is Rooster Teeth somehow managed to use some of the most valuable IPs in the world, and still delivered a mediocre at best product that was met with a big “Meh” from DC fans.

A bunch of literal who's playing at being big names. And, no, I'm not talking about the Justice League

Now that this show is practically dead until it gets revived when we're all 80 or something, I can finally say without a doubt:​

The only good and TRUE legacy that RWBY has is the Cardinposting subreddit. ​

About a month after Halloween ended, Rooster Teeth is selling their Halloween bundle 66% off. Before this sale, they lowered the total price by one euro (1.09 usd). Original price (as in the screenshot above) was 59 euro (~$63), then recently they dropped it to 58 euro, and now they are selling it for 39 euro (~$43).

@Random Internet Person , you were interested in buying that shirt, and while you still can't buy it individually, this is probably as cheap as it gets.

In other news, you remember those shitty jpeg shirts they made? Good news, they made more! No, I didn't fuck with the quality, that's the actual images they are using to promote these on site

But enough of negativity! They did make one really good new design!

It's very simple, but I like the design, it looks pretty good.
