I mean, we got a cosplayer voicing the main villain and doing a damn fine job of it. And like half the voice actors are animators or other cast members as well. Got no reason to be especially skeptical of a stuntsman.

Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.

I'm just wondering if it's going to be another Mean Character, Nice Actor case with him.

I mean, the dude's most well-known role is Jason Voorhees [lol] Hell, most of the characters he plays are villains. The Classic Predator, Moloch, the Golem...

While he could voice a character, and probably do great, I'm pretty sure the reason they'd reach out to him would be for mo cap stuff.

I mean RT's mocap is pretty good, but I don't think they have any actual stuntmen to do fancy fight scene stuff on staff.

I, I always wondered about this. Why do girls, why do most women I see, always, always, walk around with their phones in their back pockets: (ie - guys do it sometimes, but I notice its usually women). Okay, so you have a case around the phone, so maybe it won't break. I'm sorry, I just don't trust that. Fall down hard enough, phone breaks, rubberband suit be damned.

It draws attention, for one, and if that's not a problem for you, I've seen phones hanging halfway out of the pocket, and it looks stupidly easy to swipe. I guess you might feel it slip away from your cheek, or hear it break or fall, but still, it seems like a very silly thing to do, and yet all girls within my last few hours of creepy, mall-based people watching seem to do it.

What gives? This seems like a bad idea all around.

So, rather than do the rational thing and ask a real, live woman for an answer, I did a google search. It turns out, girl jeans have smaller pockets, which sounds like a massive design flaw, and apparently that makes it harder to sit down with a lot of stuff in the side pockets, I can't relate, but hey, Yahoo Answers is never wrong, right?

But the reason I post this excessive epiphany here, is because I immediately thought abut what Ruby had said. "Girl pockets are the worst!"

I mean, wow, that wasn't entirely a joke.

[up]Jeans for women have intentionally small pockets because most women have a magical thing called a purse. And if she doesn't have a purse? The small pockets are an incentive to buy one.

Yes, that's the actual reason why lady jeans have small pockets. To make women buy purses.

Meanwhile: A pair of my jeans in High School were able to fit a Monster Mega, my phone, my calculator and a DSlite in one pocket [lol]

Huh, wow.

Well, I suppose it worked, in Coco's case. I mean don't get me wrong, if we had purses that turned into machine guns, I'd buy one and tote it around like goddamned royalty too.

Why do girls, why do most women I see, always, always, walk around with their phones in their back pockets: (ie - guys do it sometimes, but I notice its usually women).

Girl pockets suck. Whoever designs women's clothing seem to think that women never want pockets, or if they do, they just want fashion statements which don't work for real pockets. So the pockets on the arse are about the only ones that hold anything properly, and even then they don't do as good a job as manly pockets would.

They're probably designed by the same people who think women want to catch their death in winter because everyone knows that when women look for winter clothing they don't really want something to keep them warm, they'd far rather have plunging necklines.

I see that bullet speed varies more than I remembered. Sorry about that. The calcs still say that all of RWBY are supersonic though.

BlackSunNocturne Since: Aug, 2013
#30810: Mar 25th 2016 at 7:59:39 AM

[up]Actually. most modern firearms are all supersonic. Basically, I don't see anyone in RWBY using actual Black Powder guns (aside from maybe Port's?), so every gun in RWBY is supersonic

AJSthe2nd Since: Jan, 2015
#30811: Mar 25th 2016 at 8:35:43 AM

Pretty sure it's said that all firearms in RWBY aren't like real world guns at all and they like all other weapons in the setting are based on using dust, and not gunpowder.

That means they're more likely to be even stronger and faster than actual bullets in the real world.

WillDeRegio Since: Jan, 2015
#30812: Mar 25th 2016 at 11:21:06 AM

[up]Fictional guns are rarely weaker than real world variants. That pistol? Everyone is screwed. That shotgun? Oh... That flame- I should stop now. I'm not helping my case.

Generally speaking, Firearms + Phlebotinum = More Powerful.

It's kinda moot though, considering thanks to Aura everyone can tank bullets to the face like nothing.

I still prefer RRNJ, because that's what you get when you mix red and yellow.

On Cinder's voice actor she needs to do some work when I hear her angry she does not sound pissed off. This is volume 3 so at this point she should be adjusted to having the voice in mind for Cinder. I mean you brought in Laura Bailey so give a Lust voice if you need to, but match the facial animations at least.

Anyways I added some content to the Volume 1 recap pages.

[up]Yeah, Cinder voice dosrnt convince me, I saw someone point it out who for Roman speak diferently depending of the person: he act bossy and rude to WF mooks, somewhat threating and showing off streght with Mercury and Emerald and almost scared and submisive of Cinder, she on the other hand just speak in the same psuedo evilish tone all the time.

My point was only on speed, not penetration ability. (I also prefer RRNJ, but I recognise the coolness of RNJR)

Also on the voice thing for Cinder being weird: This is Jessica Nigri's first real foray into voice-acting (her second is Super Sonico, as the title character). Compare Johnny Yong Bosch's first anime (Trigun) to his current roles.

What does RRNJ sounds like when pronounced, anyway? RNJR is at least easier.

And cool. And the potential Power Ranger jokes gives me the lulz.

[up][up][up][up]Well, Cinder is based off of Cinderella, who did have a crappy childhood once the stepmom showed up. Wait... that would give Cinder a sympathetic backstory. We wouldn't want that.

[up][up][up]They are color coded. Lovely, now I'm imagining Team RNJR striking a pose. Watch it be Nora's idea.

If they do give a sympathetic backstory for Cinder I hope they don't beat us over the head about how evil and unrepentant she is at the same time. Had enough of that with Grant Ward.
