Aww...lookie here.

Our sweet little Anna is trying so hard to enjoy her birthday month that she has to tell people to leave her alone, even people whom are just trying to make her raise awareness.

Such a fragile little butterflower.

Girl logic.

Don't you know? Just because your birthday falls in a month, that means you're now entitled to be like a spoiled princess cunt-brat for one WHOLE month!

Show our dear Anna some respect appropriately, people!

She's definitely showing it with her shift of interest from RWBY to Mirai Nikki.

And now she's just trying to flood everything that isn't RWBY to cover her tracks up.

Things like Star vs the Force of Evil and Mirai Nikki.

I’ve also heard RWBY be described as “anime for/according to people who hate anime”.

The show should be called BAFS, which stands for Beautifully Animated Fight Scenes. All of the speaky, talky, plotty parts of the show just exist to get the heroes to the next fight scene. You could replace all of the scenes between the fight scenes with scenes of lucky cat statues in colorful wigs dipping their paws up and down and there wouldn't be an appreciable difference in quality.

Another member of the RWBY FNDM that confuses me

Seriously, this guy is a youtuber who... Put's lyrics on a still image. That's it. So, can someone tell me why he always talks about his youtube videos like it's some grand under taking? Like, I remember when he originally 'quit' youtube due to the stress of it all and it was so melodramatic. Especially considering that there's half a dozen other channels that do the exact same thing. Hell, some of those channels actually do more and put the song and lyrics to a well edited video.

So, remember this faggot?

Turns out even Youtube didn't want his vastly inferior services.

And I’ve seen someone say that people liking Monty’s self indulgent way of “these fights are going to happen. Make room for them in the plot.” more than Miles and Kerry’s method of putting logical places for fights in between character beats they want to put in because it’s “more fun” be responsible for Dawn of Justice, Rise of Skywalker, and every Michael Bay movie existing.

Um, I'm sorry, what? You mean they like Monty's style more, or...?

The fights have been a bit lackluster for a while too recently.

Style over substance makes sense with RWBY because there's no substance in the first place. There never was. Like the YT comment says RWBY is just a shallow attempt at aping foreign narrative clichés without understanding anything that makes them work, which is about the hackiest thing you can do. On a fundamental level, RWBY doesn't work because it relies on assumptions of the audience to fill in the gaps of the narrative and the characterization. This gets excused by the shills because "the characters are just meant to be archetypes guys"/"it's just a short webshow, they can't cram characterizaaation in it" but it's painfully obvious.

And because there was nothing to begin with, when the retard squad at RT tried to write a grand plot into the show they didn't realize they were essentially trying to shove a whale into a fucking puddle. That's one of the reasons why the show is drowning as of now.

I'd say that the first two volumes had a pretty stock plot of "things happen in the shadows, and the main characters stumble on/investigate the happenings in their spare time", and I can see a through line that leads to now. I'd still say they should have gone like Harry Potter and develop around the school if they want to be bigger, but nowadays I think RWBY's story can be described as going from "bootleg Persona" to "bootleg Final Fantasy". And again, it tried to have that big scale while also trying to pass itself as a silly webshow at the same time.

Eh, even on paper this sounds cliche and boring. I would have just done what everyone thought Rwby was going to be when it was announced.

Anime girls going around the world hunting monsters. There legitimately was no mention of any kind of school in any of the trailers that hyped up people and for good reason. Because anime high school is boring and cliche.

While you could argue cliches on their own aren’t inherently bad and all that matters is how you do them, you think it’d be possible RWBY as a show would be better if they didn’t have the academy aspect?

It would be worse in my opinion as without it most seasons would be characters wondering around. Going nowhere until the seasom finale where they'd be told to go to another nowhere for another season. It also made the exposition scenes better due to feeling more natural.
 
I found this in the comments section of an Adel Aka video and I think it would have been a much better plotline than whatever we got in Volume 7.

some rando in the comments section said:
Why couldn't we get RWBY: Civil War? Weiss, Ren, Yang reluctantly join daddy Ironwood while Nora, Blake, Jaune want to save Mantle and Ruby would be caught in the middle of the two sides, desperately trying to get all of her friends to stop fighting over politics and calm the fuck down. Her being the voice of reason and being torn between two sides would also likely endear her to the audience and give her a wee bit of personality.

I could totally see that working. Weiss, Yang, and Ren take Ironwood's side because they think that it's better if there's at least some remnant of humanity left if things went south and they're frustrated about not having a plan and blindly trusting Oz. Ironwood's at least trying to do something, which is more than Oz can say and thus makes IronPapi more trustworthy in their eyes. It's a fucked up decision but they think that it's ultimately better for humanity.

Nora, Blake, and Jaune refuse to join them and want to save Mantle due to all three of them being more idealistic, and they all are horrified at the prospect of having the blood of countless innocents on their hands. They can't go through with the plan, not with their consciences intact and clean of guilt. They want to try to find another option, one that doesn't leave people to die.

And then poor Ruby's stuck in the middle, trying to get the people she loves to reconcile.

I like the fact that there's at least somewhat decent arguments for both sides and a nice battle between cynicism/pragmatism and optimism/idealism. The testing of bonds between the teams adds tension within the group and makes the characters have more of a personality and individual wants and goals, since they're all currently in lockstep with each other on pretty much everything. It'd also cause Blake and Yang to have personalities outside of wanting to mack on each other and would unglue them from each other's sides, which is always a win in my book.

I mean, with incompetent writers it doesn't really matter what the premise is to be honest. But I think, with semi-competent writing, it would be way better because then we would get to actually see the world more and see how our characters react to new situations and environments on a regular basis instead of going to a boring class where we are boringly told this information.

For example, its hard to buy the grimm as a threat when all the characters we follow are in a safe futuristic magic school in a safe futuristic magic city where the grimm are nonexistent and everyone seems to be pretty happy and not really worried about the grimm. I think the city can stay by the way, hell the academy to, we just need to see the main characters out in the "wild" seeing the destruction of entire settlements, how the grimm are growing bigger and stronger and overall showing the audience the creeping threat the grimm pose to vale.

Just pull a ghost busters and have the unknowing bureaucrat/politician talking about how safe everything is with Vale's walls, civilization and weaponry. While are main cast/huntsmen know that this safety is far more fragile and limited than what the citizens are actually told and there is your conflict that naturally leads to the destruction of Vale.
