RWBY General Discussion

Would that mean a reappearance from the Hex Girls?

Honestly, they would fit really well. Plus, it would be funny to have the sound track for the fights be diegetic.

So I'm re-watching RWBY Chibi (season 2, episode 4: Dad Jokes), and I'm questioning how the online game that Neptune (and secretly Sun) are both playing works if it's on the same TV. Maybe Sun has a separate monitor nearby that we can't see?

I love how Cinder is just broken beyond repair. Each time she confronts Salem she looks down and does that broken puppy routine, says "without you I am nothing."

None of the others do that. Salem doesn't ask or require her to do that. It's her own weird mantra. Tyrian's crazy and refers to Salem as a goddess. Hazel is direct and withdrawn, he's just pissy whenever Ozpin comes up. Mercury knows better than to cross Salem. We never see Adam's take. Watts is professional and knows when to back down. Neo contributes her part.

It's just Cinder who has to add the extra "yes ma'am, without you I'm nothing."

I really hope when RWBY comes back they spend an episode showing how Cinder met Salem, Mercury, and Emerald proper, or that we get a spin-off book covering it.

Tomorrow's episode is gonna be Jaune centric and set after Volume 9.

Hopefully this includes him being sorry about victim blaming Ruby.

Ohhhhh let's not color it that way that's a loaded term

• Ruby: is having angst because of built up emotions making her pretty upset when people still look to her for solutions
• Jaune: is also pretty justifiably upset because he's been alone for possibly decades due to a plan that Ruby enacted

They can both be upset without making Jaune a victim-blamer/more in the wrong.

Was Jaune too harsh? Yes. Was Ruby too insensitve? Also yes.

There is no good or bad guy here, just two broken people who had hit their lowest points and ended up saying things they didn't really mean out of hurt.

The FNDM has a bad habit of missing the bigger picture and focusing on the wrong details when it comes to characters being "right" or "wrong"

(Except Cinder/Salem/Tyrian/Adam/Ironwood/Neo they made their choices and they are absolutely messed up)

It's just not worth conversing with certain elements about the show's events when you know that they'll twist anything into a negative regardless of whether or not it lines up with reality.

Far as the episode goes: Therapy. Novel concept for a Death World.

Update from the RT discord.

"Official Update: RT continues to lead discussions around finding a new home for RWBY. The talks are going very well, and we will have an update to share with fans in the coming weeks. We'll share the news as soon as we're able."

Please lord and mercy let be HBO Max or Netflix

HBO will give us that Game of Thrones budget.

Netflix is usually decent about letting cel-dhading style shows thrive.

Aren't max WB?

Wouldn't that just be selling it to yourself?

Given that they said the show will create the same creative team I don't think RWBY will get a reboot, I'm so glad about that

Shaft can do the funniest thing right now.

That is good news to say the least. Honestly I do hope it's a good company that would treat the show with care if anything in my eyes.

NGL this "pseudo-update" is hitting me way harder than I expected - RWBY has been one of my biggest comfort shows for the past decade, and I right now am going through the struggle of very-probably losing a job I love due to my workplace having a high likely-hood of being defunded by the end of this month.

It may seem silly, but I on some level really needed to hear this news.

It doesn't seem to be finalized, but I wonder who they're talking to. Maybe Dillon Goo somehow managed to actually strike a deal considering CRWBY is staying on board.

That would be even funnier.

You aren't silly for liking something that other people may sharply criticize and loudly dislike, you aren't silly for taking comfort in a work of fiction when life gets difficult, and you aren't silly for being happy that said work of fiction is continuing.

Thank you <3

I have to say, that was a good send-off for Yang's character arc in Volume 9.

RWBY would either be more the Dillon could afford, or not worth selling in the first place. So I very much doubt it's him. Not to mention he would not have anything close to the cash or resources required to actually produce a proper season of a show.

As for RWBY living. It's cool for us, but I'm still not sure if there really is a market or audience for it.

It's theoretically possible Dillon Goo made a deal where he didn't obtain the IP but snagged the rights to work on it.

I'm just curious what other company this could be. Buying the rights is already a big monetary investment, but keeping the original staff adds to that and also includes logistical issues. This is especially true for a show late into its life that wasn't very profitable.

Depends? It was big enough to get promotion in Japan. Slapping RWBY on merch probably would've been more profitable if Rooster Teeth itself hadn't gone through s-show after s-show.

We live in a world where Emily In Paris continues to get seasons, Chicken Run has a sequel, and Hyperdimension Neptunia keeps getting new entries. I don't imagine RWBY being any less profitable than those ventures.

Problem there is where is Dillon and his crew meant to get the cash and resources to actually produce the season?

I don't want over hype what RWBY itself has been.

But Dillon has neither the resources, money or know how, to produce a full season of a show.

Perhaps it's best to not underestimate chances of something becoming better, man. RWBY is no exception.
