I suspect that as RWBY went on and lost popularity someone on the writing team had the bright idea to string along the Bumblebee shippers for a few seasons to keep the idiots buying RT's shit-tier merch. It was pretty clear as early as season 5 or 6 (I would argue as early as 4 but I am aware of...

I liked the Beowolves and Nucklevee, but otherwise I agree, they were a bit too generic.

RWBY was always built as a vehicle to host spectacle-grade fight scenes and no one else at RT was able to even imitate Oum. Even after season six, I think, when the fight scenes got better they were still less amazing than the creaky, low-graphic ones from seasons 1-3. Without that, RWBY needed...

I never heard about that thing with Haddock. Is that really why Nomad bit the dust? I thought it just never paid off.

While I'm ambivalent about RWBY's continued existence I'm certain that even if RT finally arrives at its long overdue death the fans will crowdsource a finale of some sort. I've stated this before, but whoever ends up with RWBY in the future needs to go back to season 3 or even 2 and start over...

So this entire season was completely pointless. It was the content of four filler episodes stretched out to a season and decorated with Tumbr's first Alice in Wonderland fanfic art. Ruby's core conflict of the season was not something that could be addressed in one conversation with a tree, but...

There are several layers to it. Part of it is a much older meme of chirpy, ever-happy Ruby becoming cynical, bitter, and jaded. Evolve that into making her an actual bigot, a character trait so rare these days it's actually at risk of being interesting. The schadenfreude of inflicting it upon...

Man the new season has been great!

Unsorted train of thought. Final score 2/5. They found an eight ball under the desk to improve the writing from time to time and there were a few decent fights, but I still don't care about anyone outside of Jaune and Ruby. The plot progressed and I'm actually curious about what happened to...

Well, we're back to talking and drama. I suspect that if I still cared about most of the cast this might work a little better, but the writers stopped the plot so that everyone could sit down a talk their feelings over and it just murders the momentum and comes off as artificial, especially with...

Considering what happened with Lionhart(spelling?) Ironwood had good reason to compartmentalize information. If the Colosseum was caught on the ground it would have been easy to destroy. That things never played out that way, well, I refer back to my Watsonian vs Doyalist complaint, but if Robyn...

I think I made snide commentary earlier in the thread about how quickly RT had to sideline Sun because by dint of being a basic, functioning character archetype he was simultaneously stealing the entire faunus side plot and was providing more chemistry with Blake than any of the fan preferred...

EDIT: And ninjad by something more comprehensive.

The plot actually moved forwards, so it gets a pass with me. I really wish people's semblance levels weren't so randomly arbitrary. Its really difficult to tell how tough they are and how well matched the fighters are. Was the Grimm dude anyone we knew or just a rando?

That certainly explains why you hear the same voices across so many shows. Why does it work that way? It definitely doesn't benefit the actors and it doesn't seem to provide any boost for the producers.

Is RT not paying enough? I agree that everything, particularly the fight choreography has improved after a low point in 4 and 5, but that does not change the fact that the writing is utter crap. RWBY's writers are allergic to writing anything 'generic' so they toss out every good idea that...

4 and 5 are meandering simulators that occasionally have some decent character bits. Six is surprisingly good, but is still, ultimately, a pale shadow of the first three seasons. Seven and eight have gotten onto a horse of good animation and decent fight scenes and utterly, utterly, inbred...

RWBY has always frustrated me because at times its core brilliance shines through and gives us a glimpse of what could have been. And then the writers do everything int heir power to smother that brilliance because... I honestly don't know. At this point, a simple, derivative anime knock off...
