Anime & Manga RWBY General discussion thread.

[Shipmaster Sane]

I don't mind Show Oscar, I just have a slight beef with some of the Fandom.

It definitely started with Jaune growing up in Vol 4, and him healing her in vol 5. Hiw he is trying to become a better leader to protect his friends. They could use some more moments for sure though

Shit I gave a buddy of mine first aid last week, I guess that means we have to fuck now?

I've never understood thinking that characters who have had like two meaningful interactions in their lives should get together. I could understand *wishing* they could be written to have a romance, but not interpreting 30 seconds of interaction spread over several years *as* a romance.

It is called shipping Ship. It does not always have to make sense.

Wow my enthusiasm dropped into the negatives. You know, maybe I should watch the first few seasons so I can remember when the show was entertaining.

It won't help; I tried that, and all I could see are the mistakes the creators made that I hadn't noticed before. The frequent plot holes and retcons, and various terrible decisions that a cohesive team with a plan would have never made. Watching it now just depresses me. You'd likely have a far better time hunting down some decent fanfics, and reading them while listening to the soundtrack.

Wait; you've never re-watched any of the show? Not even to make sure your arguments defending it are accurate?

I go to certain parts and pin point where arguments are, and on SB others generally have it giffed or taken already. I do not rewatch entire episodes. Mainlt because I know I will not watch volume 3 final. Only episode I have never seen of the series

So you like the show, but it's also essentially disposable to you? That explains so much; you're basically the only sort of person who could like RWBY at this point.

Eh, it is more I have never been one to rewatch shows unless it is after the show has ended. All the shows I currently watch I only watch the newest episodes of things, or ones I have missed.

Also, I fully agree they should not have done the LOOK LESBIANS! with Jaunes sister or with Yang and Blake. Even though Blake and Sun have more moments. The show has very visible ups and downs. It isn't for everyone, and doesnt have to be

I am alright with Jaune's sister as being a lesbian it doesn't need backstory, I will say that shoehorning the Blake x Yang thing is a bad/terrible idea, I honestly don't see it, and I furthermore prefer team RWBY as a group of friends really...

I fully agree! I feel like forcing Blake and Yang into a relationship was one of their (personally) worst ideas

I don't know; there's a lot of competition. Ruby's Bootleg Sharingan Silver Eyes, the Maidens, killing off Pyrrha, not killing off Cinder; the list goes on.

I thought they were already shipping Sun with Blake the whole time

Bumblebee really was “last minute” in my opinion

I was fully for Cinder surviving back when it seemed to be going somewhere with her character, but when she reverted to her former self I became ticked, even more so when she almost died again and unlike before where she appeared completely destroyed by the loss she didn't even question the second one.

Pyrrha's death was bad I agree, but I wouldn't say it was a bad creative decision. Pyrrha's death was meant to be a tonal shift for the series like Prisoner Of Azkaban was for Harry Potter from being lighthearted to more dark in tone, the problem was the shift sucked, due to both the nature of volume 4 and the fact that Rooster Teeth has had problem's consistently with setting and keeping tones. For example, the Volume 8 trailer was upbeat despite the fact that everybody is expecting a serious season considering the stakes at hand in Atlas, literally countless lives are on the line and they go with a trailer of Yang being happy on a hover bike despite the situation which confuses people immensely.

Killing off Pyrrha was a day one Monty decision when they Hired Jen to voice her.

I thought the same thing, but I think that is one of those things that the fans were very toxic about the Bumblebee ship

Monty made a lot of terrible decisions; killing off Pyrrha was one of them. He was a great animator, not a great story teller.

It was in the plan from the get go to kill her. Not saying it was a good choice but was going to happen

Honestly, I think there's a problem in differentiating "fandom" from the rest of the guys who enjoy the hobby

Problem is though, those guys spend way more time on average using the internet and using forums and subreddits and such

As I told Shipmaster Sane, Monty's version of RWBY was at best mediocre; the show constantly hinted at having the potential to be great in the first two seasons, or at the very least good, but never managed to realize it. Monty turned out to just be another creative talent who arrogantly believed his incredible skill in one field (animating fight scenes) could translate to another (directing a coherent narrative), and tried to do more than he was capable of. He was far from the first, and he will be far from the last.

 

[Shipmaster Sane]

*cough*
By the way the first thing Yang does on Camera is violently sexually assault an innocent man and Blake spends an entire season physically and verbally abusing someone with whom she was romantically involved.

But like, I'm sure those were flukes.

the FNDM (the toxic fandom) are the ones that caused a hissy fit over Bumblee

Miles and Kerry are not that bad of writers, and honestly I think the ideas of his they keep incorporating may be a thing holding the show back.
Miles and Keryy can do better of course, but they are not the worst

So..she cant use unothadox interrogation methods to get info on something? It then caused a fight and she was defending herself there

Do you mean Sun? Well according to what (very sparce evidence but what people claim) They only act like friends and showed no romantic involvement with each other......
She was also physically and mentally abused and everything by her crazy bull (really a goat honestly) of an ex, so...it can be understandable why she is a little like that.
