@Nocturne: Voice actors are paid on a per line basis, and the pay is generally garbage, to the point where you either need to be super prolific (Steve Blum) or have a second job to make a decent living as a VA. I don't care to go back and count how many lines Mercury had in season 2, but $200.00 sounds about right considering he barely spoke.

@WaterMasterGali92 One would be her using her Semblence to rip swords from inside the victim using the iron in their blood, before stabbing them back into their head.

That would probabbly be the reason why the RWBY cast would be more suited to Anime Fighter style Instant Kills / Astral Heats / Mortal Blows.

Ripping iron from your body sounds just about enough exaggerated for Mortal Kombat, really. You'd effectively pull everything out.

Generally the statements of former employees need to be taken with a grain of salt, since there's almost always a reason behind the former part, and companies will rarely outright fire people to save face.

actually, it seems that more often than not, the opposite is true: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/10rdtd/what_is_something_your_current_or_past_employer/

By the way, if I recall correctly, Vic Mignona specifically wanted to voice someone in RWBY, he was a fan beforehand. I wouldn't be surprised if they wrote a bigger role for Qrow to accommodate him.

Also, damn, Neath didn't know Monty was married till the wake? That's... estranged.

In regards to the "Iron being ripped out of someone's blood" thing:

Magneto did that in X2: X-Men United [lol]

Edit: It's also still REALLY weird to know that Monty's from my state. Hell, he's from a fucking town over from where I am [lol]

Also on the celebrity VA thing: Laura Bailey recorded all of her lines when she was visiting Rooster Teeth for a day. Sooo.... yeah

[up]Well he said Monty was too busy to answer his calls/texts/emails so that's understandable. Iirc, Monty and Sheena were barely married for a year before Monty's passing

So anywhoo.... Any decision in regards to removing Would Hit a Girl in the RWBY pages as it seriously doesn't fit with the series as it's a World of Badass filled with Action Girls [lol]

No, as the trope's definition on the page for it implies that it applies when there's some issue in-setting with hitting women. RWBY.... does not have that issue at all.

I strongly suggest removing it, for reasons stated last night.

If I recall, she had one line that was either two or four words and a bunch of grunts, gasps, and shouts. I can see that being done in a day.

#34744: May 13th 2016 at 11:06:16 AM

I agree with removing Would Hit a Girl. There's nothing in the work that evokes the norm as being to not hit girls. Even Jaune, who comes from a non-combat background, hasn't had problems with the concept of hitting girls. The show also approaches the storytelling from the side of the girls being the dominant characters over the boys anyway.

I think Wouldn't Hit a Girl would be by far the more significant trope in this setting.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

[up]And that hasn't even shown up yet. I mean, Cardin kind of fits as he's abusing Velvet outside of sparring matches but even then, that's stretching it.

[up][up]I could see it being done in an hour at most [lol]

Okay, so that's.... 3 saying "Yea" for removing Would Hit a Girl (dunno about Cardin's entry on it though) from the RWBY page, as well as removing mention of RWBY on the Would Hit a Girl page?

Maybe she can do the whole pin her foe to a tree thing like she did to Jauine, but instead of saving them it would kill them...

I wonder what her X Ray would be like. Hmm...

One of her Variations could focus on her Aura and give her like a second health bar at the expense of taking double damage when it is depleted.

You can't get it wrong if it's the truth!
