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

[Jewelsmakerguy]

All of Warner Bros' gaming division is being sold right now. What are the odds RT and RT IPs don't get the same treatment?

Like I've said before, RWBY will probably be shitcanned either during or after Vol. 8's production. And the rights will probably be just written off or the property will languish in the vaults of WB alongside all their 90s and 2000s shows until it gets an ill-fitting reboot.

Uh oh, was just alerted to this. Don't know how much legal standing they actually have for copying of a show format.

Rooster Teeth is looking at a potential ass reaming. I think they’ll only get a cease and desist because a formal trial is gonna be hard and raw for them.

Funhaus unquestionably took the idea from Documental in Japan. They can't even deny that they did and lots of people have pointed it out. I just don't know the legal ground Amazon has on a show copying a format if they aren't directly copying jokes.

Unfunny and creatively bankrupt. Great combo.

And then there's Documental if they wanna play. Hope RT likes looking down the barrel of two legal guns.

Miles originally didn't plan on voicing Jaune. He actually auditioned for other characters including Sun but Monty decided he would be good for Jaune because he is kind of a nerd.

There’s a chance nobody comes to buy because RWBY is nowhere near as popular as their fans think it is. So my predictions is....nobody would approach unless they REALLY wanted it and it’s probably going to be bundled up with something.

Maybe Arc System Works will take it and turn it into a "doujin fighter"-esque... thing. God knows enough people only know it from the "Guilty-Blaze-Persona Under-Night: Tag Team Gangbang" fighter.

You mean BBTag? People have said that’s the best portrayal of Team RWBY.

RT will definitely be hearing from lawyers, regardless of if Amazon has grounds to sue them over it. Amazon is a big fuckoff company, it would be a drop in the bucket for them to pressure a tiny company like RT.

Just sell the RWBY property to ArcSys and let them make games out of the series.

I think the show makes it pretty easy. https://twitter.com/bdunkelman/status/1272625998119534593

And if people weren't saying that RWBY is trash, someone might think it was a good show.

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't Geoff. I don't mean to shit on him but the dude has not aged well (yes I'm aware he was a heavy drinker. Hell there's a video of him just downing a bottle of jack for 30 seconds on the RT site hidden behind a paywall), and really, he needs to gtfo from the camera, but I know he won't, if anything to spite Burnie at this point.

You know you done fucked up when someone else can make your own IP look better.

Personally, I'd say it wouldn't be so bad if not for Funhaus. Never liked them or found them entertaining, tbh, and shit like that podcast they made about Kingdom Come Deliverance just cemented that dislike. I can agree that Geoff has lost his charm though, I kinda pity him.

Did he always have that drinking problem, or was there a period that he tried to quit? Or, is quitting?

I think he mentioned several times over the years that hed stopped, but eventually went back. Although, I dont think he claimed he was quitting, just stopping for a while.

 

[ToddleDoddle]

Didn't Geoff finally quit after he split with his wife? Seemed like it was a long time of denial of an issue along with his co-workers/friends enabling him. The guy legitimately gave up food over alcohol when his doctor raised health concerns and when he told everyone about it they laughed about it instead of recognizing it as the massive red flag it was and basically told everyone in the community who were concerned about Geoff's drinking to fuck off and mind their own business.

Sounds about right, alcoholics will deny it up to their very end, and I wouldn't be surprised if he got told straight up by Griffon something along the lines of "It'd really suck ass if you died before your kid grew older" and that finally made it click for him.

Despite his sobriety, it's pretty damn obvious that taking up the role (Exec creative director of Roosterteeth) he's in has severely stressed him.

and for context.

This is Geoff in 2013

This is him at RTX 2019

Funhaus has been the most hit and miss group I've ever watched, some of their material was funny, like Demo Disc and Talking Stalkings, but the podcasts suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I have not been able to sit through one at all.

Edit: Someone at RT posted this

Can't help but feel a bit of shade was thrown Burnie's way.

But we're not hateful! We just take the piss off their garbage fire. Sure, we get frustrated sometimes, but hateful? Pfft, Barbie has some serious USI.

You know you done fucked up when someone else can make your own IP look better.

Anyone and their mom can make RWBY better with barely an effort. Heck, that Cherish fanfic made it better and he barely removed a lot of asspull garbage (like Salem and the gods bs). The Manga pretty much does its own thing too (or did? I hope they didn't can it) and was alright.
