>He was a rather gifted action director
Sure, if you count directly ripping animations from scenes in the Matrix and Devil May Cry series as gifted or having goofy shit on par with Indian cinema. All of his works are just taking things from other properties, Haloid, Dead Fantasy and RWBY are all built on other shit and name them directly, at a certain point you just have to sit back and realise that you're watching a man playing with action figures, crashing them together over and over again, with all the grace and aplomb of an eight year old. The only difference is that people saw things they recognised and so they clapped. Is he a talented animator? Yeah, sure. Is he a good director? Fuck no, all Monty and Kerry did was talk about Monty would give conflicting and haphazard directions for the shows future and all he wanted to do was crash his toys together.

For the time and place, the stuff he was doing was pretty amazing. around that 2010 era it was cool to see a small studio like RT doing this wacky and wild fighting as well as a machinema moving into having actual animated scenes. It was cool for what it was and a real step up from the previous seasons of headbobbing to add that extra 'wow' factor.

However, by the time it got to RWBY you soon learned that once you've seen one Monty fightscene then you've seen them all. Characters with little weight hitting like bullets, tracking shots of characters flying through the air, the kurosawa 'cut the enemy then wait five seconds before bloodspray', repeat ad nauseum. He also refused to grow, doing things his own way as if he were a creative genius rather than keeping his animation stunted by his own 'it works for me so why change it' attitude which is why the quality of animation from S1-3 is even more dogshit than the rest. Not that anything else improved by with Miles and Kerry taking control it's not like there was much hope.

tl;dr for an indie animator he was pretty okay but for someone running a department / making their own series he was less than competant.

Aight back onto Funhaus now.
Any chances that the old crew will reassemble onto other platforms?

Brue and Laurence resurrected Inside Gaming news but without Adam and James it's not the same, plus Laurence is such a contrarian dickhead he couldn't pay me to listen to his half-baked opinions.

It’s interesting to watch the gambit of people on here who either shit and hate on anyone involved in the company no matter what, those that point out the problems but still like what they’ve done in the past or people still working in there, and the ones who only know of the big events trying to figure out what’s the truth and what’s bias.

Kinda like all the threads recently, honestly.

It's not really an homage when you're a talentless hack who just wants to re-animate the biggest most recent fight scene from the most popular anime you just watched.
@Filthy Greenskin And then Monty died and everything about RWBY got SO MUCH WORSE in Monty's abscense. And that's...another reason Monty Oum gets put on a pedestal.

Seeing as how Lawrence seemed to take joy in what happened to Adam, I'm guessing not. At best you could probably get Bruce, James and Lawrence together. I don't think Bruce or Lawrence would go all in on a Funhaus or IG type Youtube channel again. Pretty sure they left because they realized they could make just as much streaming on Twitch while doing a fraction of the work.

Bruce, Lawrence, and Criken have a semi-regular "lets talk about game news" stream. That's probably about as close as you're going to get.
 
Couldn't help but poke my head in the RT Store, and uh, they're selling Camp Camp shirts that, to anyone outside of RT first doesn't make sense since it has characters never shown before.

It's also not a great design, honestly.

Also poked my head on squad team force's twitter, and....how is any of this crap funny?

Those characters show up in the first season and three season are on YouTube. Hell, the shirt is a reference to an episode in season 2.

This is the only place where you can freely discuss ideas and thoughts on RT and AH as their moderated communities are reversed toxic.
 
For my fellow FuckFace listeners: I can't be the only one who thinks Andrew is mentally challenged or at least on the spectrum, right?

He has no concept of what's socially normal, lives with his mother at 27, keeps buying the most useless shits and hoarding them in his room, he's really mentally rigid in arguments, etc.

That kid's weird, man.

What use is encouraging a booster when it is the same stuff that isn't working as is; not something remade for the variants. UGH, I don't even care, also Lindsey is a They now? Never liked that, they/them/whaaaevah, makes me feel like I'm calling a human less than a human.

I think it’s more posturing than anything else.

Also, the voice of Ruby Rose isn’t something I really worry about too much.
