RWBY General Discussion

Yes it’s pretty bad in here, it’s hilarious.

I’m like I’m not really negative, just having fun in a “not taking shit seriously” kinda way but Goddamn are walls of text common here.

Not all walls of text are negative - we do a lot of discussion of the worldbuilding and its implications - but some positivity could definitely go a long way. Despite Vol 6 cleaning up most of the series's act, people still will find something to complain about.

I hope that Vol 7 will continue the upward trend, especially since seeds for a successful Atlas arc have already been sown before - as opposed to Vol 5 which introduced last-minute self-disposable characters for the Haven arc.

Does sitting on a couch for 10 episodes waiting for a phone call to tell them the plot's happening in an empty room even though everything actually important happens away of the empty room count as an "arc", though?

And there goes our five minutes of positivity.

You just...couldn't help yourself could you?

When you see Posts that aren't Bashing the show you just gotta ruin it for people?

It's an honest question. Not a lot happened to justify it being called a Story Arc.

Yes, he does. He's mentioned that several times. But that doesn't change my point.

Yes. Those of us who have a more positive outlook can be lynched at times.

However, the good news is that the lynching isn't very good.

This is one of the better RWBY fanzones, after all.

More positivity is therefore welcome.

So, welcome back.

Yeah I will said vol 6 is a good season, sure the final have tons of issue(RWBY entitlement, the fight with cordobin being kinda sort of force, everything about Adam.....) but is a good volume all things considering and it seen they are improving.

From me, the walls of text aren't being negative, its just me trying to be as thorough as possible in my responses. I'll admit, I can get long winded at times. And I won't sugarcoat any issues I have with the show.

I wasn’t referring to the walls of text as negatives, just....... tiring.

Yeah, they can be tiring, that is why I prefer to talk into several post to make come across as easier, also I always feel nobody pay me atention when I just long post

Wyld: but that is MY point: it kinda sort feel the canocity of the song was said to be non canon the moment the whole bumblebee-Dark sun blow over him, which is kinda ignoring the bit of canon in the song itselfs.

If being critical of the show is negativity, then sure. It's not like positive things never come up, they just don't have the same legs at critical discussion do here. And as you can see, the positive fans outnumber the negative ones anyway.

Probably because "finding" things to complain about means "watching the show and seeing these issues being put on open display".

Volume 6 was definitely an improvement, but there's still a lot of issues it didn't do much for, in addition to having its own issues to add to the mix.

Yeah, as much as people want to talk about how positive RWBY is and all that, the moment you have an opinion that isn't "positive" or found something wrong with it, you get shouted down and say that you're just "looking for something to complain".

Effectively, the RWBY tropes pages are Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul.

Agreed. I'm all for being positive about stuff, which is why I wasn't piping in during all the positivity earlier, but let's not pretend volume 6 fixed all the things wrong with RWBY forever. It did moderately regarding the stuff that was bad before, but still introduced it's own host of issues, and kept up some of the problems from before as well.

And let's certainly not get carried away on the idea that people who have criticisms are just looking for stuff to complain.

RWBY has garnered a pretty decent Hatedom who loves talking about how bad the show is at any chance they get. Talk about something you like, and someone comes along to tell you how that it was actually horrible. (Not just talking about this forum about this stuff btw, this is just in general) Their is legit criticism, but also a lot of people who just hate the show and anything it does.

People do that for everything...even the opposite.

Like how people say they like Adam and say he was wastes potential, only for people to bash them for liking him?

Honestly, I would hardly call a Vol. 6 a good season to begin with. It's an improvement, but only because Vol. 5 might just be the single worst volume ever.

Hey now

I still think volume 4 is a strong contender for that title

Fair enough.

...and we're back to the negativity again. XP

Volume 4 is...kinda....sort of there, Ren story is good and I never expect it would expand on it but between Volume 3 who is the best and volume 5 who is the worst is just...well, it is just happing.

I was only joining in the positivity train just to try and see if we could get some good thoughts in. Lately all this thread ever does is talk about Adam or BMBLB. It gets tiring.

I won't deny the show has legit problems that I really hope they get over. I've gone on tirades about how much I detested the Battle of Haven and my issues with the entirety of Argus. I just really don't have the energy to keep complaining anymore.

So I see someone has good thoughts on this thread for once, I figure support the idea of bringing back some positivity to the thread just for a change of pace.

@Psyga you tend to get yelled at for what you say because you either deliberately appear to be trying to start trouble, or because you appear to act extremely pessimistically overall. It makes it look less like you're just criticizing the show and more like you have a hateboner for it on par with Cinder's hateboner for Ruby.

I've gone back and looked at several replies you left, and a lot of times you do raise some legitimate points and valid criticisms. Its just other times it comes across like you either don't pay attention to details or just don't care about what you're talking about. Case in point here you go on about how the villains look more like the good guys and how the heroes look incompetent.

I can only guess that people yell at you because to them it looks like you're just apart of the hatedom rather than actually criticizing. Though it doesn't help that I've checked some of your edits on tropes for the show and the fact you have a Dethroning Moment entry, and they all paint the picture that you're completely fed up with the series and are only here to complain, not criticize.

I'm sorry, what?

I cannot recall anyone being insulted for being positive about the show, let alone being "lynched" neither here nor anywhere else. I can, however, recall a poster get so passionate about insulting critics that a moderator had to intervene alongside with many more "casual", often long-winded complaints about people who do not like the show's current direction daring to state their opinions. Why on earth would you think the thread is biased against postiive outlooks?

The reaction this show (aleast on You Tube) gets these days is kinda funny to me

I started watching RWBY right before Players and Pieces was released. To me the fandom was always on the negative side.

But currently Volumes 1-3 seem to have some new found love. With people considering that 'Good RWBY' and I cant help but flashback to some of the arugements that people had over the writing choices that were made back then.

Like, am I a bad person for getting a chuckle everytime someone calls V4-6 bad fan fiction compaired to the earlier Volumes?
