Competent writers would probably have clashed with Monty a lot. Idk how he was to work with but I am suspicious of Japanese auteurs or wannabe auteurs. They seem unbearable. But I also don't know and it's wrong to make inferences when there is a primary source I can consult if I just decided to be less lazy.
To my understanding, and not to make too many assumptions, Monty was a pretty insufferable guy to work with.
I don't like that I am saying this, because it is messed up on some level, but if he were still alive this would be more central to the discussion of RWBY's problems.
Like I said, I didn't want to make a solid assumption about the guy, but aside from being insufferable, he was pretty...fickle, irresponsible, and didn't care much about other opinions unless he had hangers on. RWBY was never supposed to be so intricate if the project itself was just gonna be no better than some low budget animation school passion project.
Thing is, Black Clover even being the "basic bitch culmination of shounen" is done right. Again, tropes aren't inherently bad themselves, it's how you use them make them good or bad. And Black Clover knows how to use it. Plus, everyone references from something, so it ain't unusual.
As someone who's into 3D amimation & respects Monty. I feel like someone on this thread said it the best,
Thing is, the Red trailer was the pitch/proof of concept Monty made. And only two of them had dialogue, and only one directly connects to the show in all honesty (or two if you wanna infer). Everything I see from the Beacon/Monty years makes me feel like the story is there just to keep it from being poorly connected fight scenes.
The thing about it is, Miles and Kerry, Monty’s cohorts, were brought in to expand on Monty’s ideas, they worked early and often enough to warrant a “created by” credit, and RT (and IIRC RWBY in particular) was the only place where they managed to get gigs as a writer or a director. If anything, Monty found something that worked to him, and it helped the show to be more than “cute girls fighting monsters”.
What is a Soarel? Is he a lolcalf?
Soarel is a guy who thinks that RT has shat all over what Monty had planned for RWBY out of malice. If you come across him on Reddit, YouTube, or Discord, that’s probably the best way to hear about his thoughts because there’s a lot of stuff that he believes, and it’s a bit of a rabbit hole.
Best example of this is volume 1: You know that ending fight scene with Penny at the docks? Yeah, Miles and Kerry didn't know it existed until the episode aired. Monty sneaked it in.
Professional Cinder Simp who constantly yells about Mony's dreams being defiled by Super Villains Miles and Kerry, that Cinder is actually supposed to be a revolutionary hero fighting to stop Ozpin's super secret dystopian conspiracy shadow government from ruining the world and backs this up by spamming his pastebin where the majority of the 'evidence' is either attributing meaning to vague words from Monty's wife (she said that she thinks there's more to Cinder, which of course means TOTAL GOOD GUY) or taking Cinder's one speech from Volume 3 as her only true character moment. You know, that speech that was clearly her manipulating the crowd for her own gain and not her actual feelings? Oh, but wait, Cinder is totally legit. Do you notice that when she's pretending to be angry, she looks angry?
I don't know if I should be surprised, not surprised or impressed. I hate M&K, and I don't feel as much love for Monty.
They probably keep him around as they would a dancing monkey to gawk at.
Don’t forget these parts:
FUCK, I'll have to find that clip of Geoff beating Gavin then. Ether way, nice to see they're trying to bury their skeletons.
They deserve this. Make your bed in wokeism, sleep in wokeism. The only allowable jokes now will be at the expense of rich white guys.
Because like most other unironic fans of RWBY, most unironic users of Reddit are cucks without the balls to actually back up any threats. I bet he's only still there because they're afraid he'll do something to them depsite him being just as big of a wussified cuck as they are.
I can guarantee you that much of those asking them to delete their content are trolls. They don't care about RT, but will laugh if the company goes under or irrelevant. I know I would have encouraged them.
