They're at the tail end, might as well just wrap it up.
>>
>>151395459
No, it'd need a hard rest back to pre fall. The fall could still happen, but all the lore after that is dumb and they definitely should have spent more time in Beacon fleshing out both the main cast and all these side characters they tossed at us only to never do anything with.
>>
>>151395487
personally if it were up to me, I'd rewrite Salem to just be a humanoid Grimm, make the Grimm a bigger existential threat than they're presented as originally.

Grimm are attracted to negative emotion, and knowing just how scary Grimm can actually be would lead to rampant despair that would see kingdoms turned into constantly besieged war zones that would see society collapse. So the councils present the Grimm as dumb monster hordes that totally get wiped out by super cool huntsmen on the regular like the heroic figures they are, keeping the population complacent.

Meanwhile, beyond the beowolves and Ursas, you have ancient Grimm that have developed human thought to better counter them, or straight up Eldritch horrors, that all work together to actively try to wipe out all light bearing species(Humans, Faunus, Penny?). Sorta emphasize it's an eternal, very hot war that most of society is blind to beyond the surface level culling.

RWBY ended with Maka Albarn bissecting Ruby in half from the ass up it's canon
>>
>>151395565
They were building to something like that initially with the pack of grimm who learned to avoid humans in order to survive.

Having them evolve and adapt into a more humanoid type appearance sounds pretty reminiscent of Evangelion, and how the Angels kept developing new methods of attack.

On top of all that, the Volume 3 opener "When it Falls" refers to Salem as "Hate Incarnate"

It would have been neat if Salem is presented as the big bad in the post fall volumes, and they actually do eventually kill her, only for the twist to be she's not actually the top Grimm, she was basically just a humanoid mouthpiece Grimm to keep the Grimm's human agents and cultists managed. Meanwhile the actual 'leaders' of the Grimm on a worldwide scale are ancient, highly evolved army killing monsters who's very existence being revealed to the public would completely destroy the status quo in society.
Although thinking on it, I suppose it'd be aping the same overall concept from settings HxH and Bloodborne.

You'd have to be beyond stupid to let them make vol 10 and beyond when you can just reboot it to get much more mileage out of the franchise. Reboot this shit with competent writers, a good production schedule and recast the VAs. Doesn't matter if you piss the loud minority off when you can just attract a new audience and actually retain them this time.

At best, let the writers finish the original story though novels or comics. Or I guess you could force them to make vol 10 the final one and have a cool down of 3ish years before announcing the reboot.
>>
>>151396263
Those sorts of "Haha, just kidding. Here's the real villain" twists only really work with some careful foreshadowing, or a far shorter story (either in run time, or length of time since the media's beginning)
It runs a serious risk of making the previous conflicts look unnecessarily cheap.
The show actually did do this twice already. Torchwick answered to Cynder, and Cynder answered to Salem. But those two always had mysterious motives even when the focus is on them for a scene. Salem is different. Instead of discussing their plans, she's directing the others to do her bidding.
It was fine after a season or two, but now we're at six volumes (with significantly more air time compared to the first two) with Salem as the primary threat.

You could argue this could work for a reboot show, but regardless of how bad original RWBY turned out to be, people will still have it's story in the back of their minds. The first impressions have already been made, and can't be unmade.

I am fine with if they continue to the end or do something like continue Ice Queendom instead. It depends on who will be animating them I guess, since I don't see RWBY continuing as a manga series for now based on the current announcements from Viz who owns them.

After either of those are finished they can do a reboot or a next gen sequel. Although if the company was smart they would probably do some spinoffs instead for a bit since reboots or next gen sequels can easily be hit or miss.

Viz should start off with a reboot and make sure none of the previous CRWBY are involved. They'd ideally consult Sheena and Shane to shape the reboot, and whoever gets to be the showrunner must not only be a MAJOR weeb, but be a big fan of JRPGs (particularly Squeenix ones), fighting games, and character action games. The showrunner should be familiar with fairytales, myths, folklore from all over the globe, and by all means they should know what alchemy is. The reason why so many attempts at "fixing RWBY" fail or divorce themselves too far from RWBY lies with how many people are not familiar with the strongest influences behind Monty's work. Alchemy, fairy tales, and JRPGs...as well as NGE and Twin Peaks (since they pretty much inspired every anime/manga and video game to come out of Japan).
>>
>>151395565
It's pretty interesting you mention that because "Salem is a humanoid Grimm" was not only a theory floated around after V3, but it's been speculated that Salem may have originally been intended to be an alien of some sort considering:

>Salem and the Grimm are strongly associated with the moon
>the moon is tied to rabbits and The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (featuring Kaguya the Moon Princess) in Japanese culture
>Kaguya is a recurring archetype who pops up constantly in Japanese media (an immortal woman from the moon who offers immortality to her lover the Emperor when she is taken back to her home, but he refuses to live forever if he can't see her) like NGE and Naruto
>the moon plays a big role in FF8 and FF9 as well as in Soul Eater (works that influenced Monty)
>>
>>151400296
>not only that, but the Grimm's (pre-V4) behavior is described as particularly singling out humans
>Hollows from Bleach were an inspiration for the designs of the Grimm
>Shane recently revealed that Remnant was at some point planned to be a Hollow Earth deal, and potentially involved in a war with the civilization on the surface
>Monty watched NGE, Naruto, and Bleach
>>
I'm a bizarre individual who thinks Vol. 4-6 is the peak of the series.
>>
>>151400195
>They'd ideally consult Sheena and Shane
>They'd ideally consult two low-skill, retarded nepo hires, one of whom threw a fucking tantrum when a company didn't ignore his complete and total lack of qualifications to hand him control of an IP he had zero claim to.
Miles and Kerry are shit writers and no one on that entire crew (or 95% of the cast) should be involved in a reboot, but god damn anyone stupid enough to think a fucking waste of space like Shane should be put in charge needs to be shot in the back of the head.

>>151400512
On a superficial level, 1-3 is mostly held back by being SOL with subpar animation outside of fight until the finale. As for 7-9, it feels like it's dragging its feet when there's still one other maiden and two other relics to locate, and then 9 goes off into a fairy tale/isekai adventure (that's actually better than 7 and 8, funny enough).
What 4-6 lost with Monty Oum's fight sequences and the deaths of you know who's, it improved on every other front. RWBY were all able to develop on their own and bounce others that weren't just their same group. Tyrion, Arthur, and Hazel were additiona to Salem's crew to balance out the flippant teens/young adults who formed the villain core in the first few seasons. I cared about every bit more of world lore that kept getting delivered, and just how much Beacon's fall fucked pretty much everyone up. Every episode felt like something substantial was building up, and each season finale from that middle trio felt satisfying and made me interested in seeing more.
I guess it's safe to say that what RWBY used to be was just something I wasn't interested in, and what it is now is just dragging on what I did like. So yeah, bizarre.
>>
>>151398525
I think the age gap's a little bigger than that
>>
>>151400476
I could give you V4 being underrated and V6 has at least some good stuff (the lore dump episode is one of the best episodes in the series imo), but V5 is just fucking terrible. They just spend the whole fucking season standing and talking. I'm pretty they even joke about it at one point. Literally the only good part was Raven dunking on Cinder. The rest of the final battle was almost comedic with everyone just... fucking standing around awkwardly. I know the budget was getting siphoned for Gen:Lock for that season and it fucking shows, jesus christ.
>>
>>151398190
I always assumed that Winter would hypothetically like Qrow because he's everything that her father wasn't. Sure, Qrow can be a womanizing slobby drunk but he's clearly involved with raising Ruby and Yang, and he's very devoted to his family. Winter came from a cold and abusive home. No wonder she would fall for Qrow's roguish charms, he could get her to loosen up and get out of her shell and she would civilize him and tidy him up.
>>
>>151400772
How old do you think they are?
>>
I just can't picture Qrow being older than 29, even though he has to be. That design does not scream "approaching middle age", and his voice after Vol. 6 doesn't help either.

Branwens simply age like wine. The only indication that Raven isn't just Yang with contacts and hair dye is some almost imperceptible lines beneath her eyes.

I love this sort of analysis. Really picking back all the anime that inspired RWBY initially.
It's like when someone draws inspiration from classical literature in a modern novel.
That's how all this is going to be seen in fifty years. To some, it's already how it's seen.
>>
>>151400772
Winter seems like she's a lot older than Weiss. Far older than the gap between Weiss and Whitley. They just have that sort of relationship about them. Plus, she's already in such a high rank in Atlas's military. I wouldn't expect her to be any less than 22 or 23.
Hell, if you want to take Chibi into account, she comments on how young the students are with the phrase "Youth is wasted on the young". Just not something you say about your sister who's younger by a couple years.
For that scene in particular, I think it would have made a bit more sense to have it be Glynda. Of course, there were external reasons why it couldn't be Glynda.
>>
Nah, without an Asian that wanted to make ambitions with this series as the head runner(Oum) its as good as dead
>>
>>151401977
That's the main thing keeping RWBY from being the show it deserved to be.
Who would sacrifice so much time, energy, and money to risk so much for so little gain. If it's good, then people will still attribute the show to Monty, and potentially most of the good things about it. If it's bad, then it's just seen as spitting on his legacy. If you don't have your own ideas for how to make the show good, then you're going to make a bad show. If you do have your own ideas, then you'd be much better off making something original, and maybe calling RWBY an inspiration.

That's really why it'll never leave the land of fanfic once their corporate overlords give up on it.

>>151397751
>>151398086
Isn't one of these Winter, but the other one an unused Weiss design? Also, Sheena drew a Qrow alternate design, and I noticed he was supposed to look younger. Less middle aged man. Sheena also admitted that Monty might have created the Maidens based on a suggestion of hers, but that they were actually supposed to represent the 4 Chinese animal symbols (dragon, bird, tiger, turtle), not the 4 stations.

>>151397767
Neo not wearing a hat makes more sense, considering how acrobatic she is. And this one didn't omit that part of her hair is white. Nice.

>>151397675
RT basically butchered the character arc Monty and Sheena planned for Cinder. Sheena said that Miles and Kerry never approached her to consult what other ideas Monty had for future volumes.
>>
>>151395459
They should finish the show before they do any (more) reboots or spin offs.
But they should also hash out what Salems actual plan is, because they are just running on a hypothesis that her plan is to blow up the world so she can possibly kill herself.
I think giving her an actual God complex and her goal is actually to destroy the relics so she can be the only true magic user on remnant would be better than a long protracted suicide attempt.
>>
>>151403696
>They should finish the show
No. The show costs too much and the audience ain't there. RWBY's too niche to justify another volume. A reboot is more sound since it can attract a new audience. No one's jumping in for Vol 10, guys.

>Fan: But many people who work on RWBY claim to be 'carrying on Monty's legacy', especially the two people who acted as writers alongside your late husband. Did they contribute to the mistreatment you and those who stood up for you? Or where they passive observers who did nothing to assist you?
>Sheena: To put it plainly, I haven't been in contact with most people from the company in over a decade. Following the email about RWBY notes, I was removed from social medias, blocked on twitter and ignored through texts, so I stopped wasting my time
>There were two people who checked in on me to make sure I wasn't doing anything stupid: one of them was Shane, the other had nothing to do with RWBY.

>They did not, in fact, follow up. This was shortly after they had attempted to, "recover," my personal hard drives during their visit to our apartment to collect the company's hard drives. It's such a shame because there were a lot of documents I had written and consolidated while sitting next to Monty that I was more than happy to share with them as a contracted consultant. I had asked some close friends if I should just hand over all of my work since they seemed lost about direction, but they insisted that if the crew were truly interested in Monty's vision, they would come to me.

>I'm not sure what has been said regarding the Maidens as I have not been able to look at anything beyond Volume 2.

This was how she fell in love with Qrow while he was baiting her with an escape.

Everyone talking about reboots, but my hot take is make a rebootquel like Final Fantasy 7 Remake or Scott Pilgrim Takes Off; RWBY kind of has an underlying "history repeating itself" motif added with the Fairy Tale elements (which are well known for revisions/rewrites) that could be interesting with a new group of writers. Making a sequel with a new cast or an aged up old cast wouldn't work without having to retread several of the original's flaws in writing and a full-on reboot has always the chances of making things retarded.

Miles and Kerry seem to dislike Shane and Sheena, so the show was doomed to never follow up on most of what Monty planned. Even if V10 was greenlit, we have to admit that it would be mostly Kerry's vision, not Monty's, considering all the changes they have made to Remnant, such as destroying Atlas and Vale.

If Adam and Raven were supposed to be part of the same clan, that idea was definitely discarded once Monty passed away, just like Raven's role in V3.

Anon:
I know this is a heavily controversial topic for rwby, but what did monty have on adam taurus? did he share any ideas of him with you? you mentioned before how you haven't caught up with the series since v2, but it would be nice to have your thoughts on adam and if it aligned with what happened in the show

Sheena:
All I know about him is that Monty was very passionate about his fight. He had been working on it on and off for a long time, expressing his hope that somehow, some way he would be able to license this song he had been using. It didn’t seem likely at all, but that didn’t dissuade him.
It took place in the red forest from the Black trailer, with the sound starting at 2:16 highlighting the deed. I don’t know if he ever finished it.

I stopped watching around the time where they introduced the Robin Hood lady. I just got burned out on the series at that point. It started off good but then basically just became a long sequence of Dragon Ball Z style shonen-esque fight scenes instead of a story.

If you put together the various influences behind RWBY, you can sorta piece together what Monty's plans for the story may have been

>FF7: our heroes fight a corrupt corporation and then an alien threat attempting to dominate/genocide the world
>FF8: group of child soldier students fight off against a powerful sorceress (who is the ex-wife of their boss) and her monsters who fall from the moon, while dealing with war between nations (the result of the sorceress' planning)
>AOT: trained child soldiers fight off endless hordes of monsters (who are in fact sent by an opposing faction of humanity)
>Black Rock Shooter: superpowered girls duke it out in a "hollow earth": the consequences of an alien invasion
>Bleach: heroes fend off corrupted spirits before beefing with the elite forces of the governing institutions after one of their own is put in danger
>Soul Eater: students fight off witches/monsters/the forces of madness under the supervision of Death, attempting to keep the evil god of madness away
>NGE: teenaged mecha pilots defend Tokyo-3 from invading aliens (while a shadow cabal is engineering events to result in mass ego death)
>Naruto: ninjas engage in proxy wars between clans as mercenaries and soldiers, being manipulated by terrorists in an attempt to end war
>Kingdom Hearts: a plucky hero becomes the backup chosen one to stop the forces of Darkness from obtaining the power of the Heart of All Worlds/Sacred Moon/Kingdom Hearts
>HxH:
>Cowboy Bebop:
>Kill la Kill:

I would do the last three but I'm tired lol

Reminder that at IMDB, even RWBY is considered a better series than DMC. The issue with most of these is that while many are cool, they don't necessarily have good storylines. It's okay to use them as visual guides or for character design inspiration, but one doesn't learn good writing from FF, AOT, BRS, SAO, DMC, Bleach, or KH.
>>
Kill La Kill influencing RWBY's storyline would've been... An interesting train wreck to see, I suppose.
>>
>>151407761
It didn't need to have the best writing. It just needed to be fun and satisfying. RWBY needed to stay popcorn fiction like its influences, rather than try to match Tolkien and fail hard at it. Demon Slayer, JJK and Solo Leveling blew up for a reason.

I'd take Hollow Earth as Salem's base instead of the basic bitch castle. Too far into fairy tale, not enough anime.

everything points to aliens and conflict between humans being whatever RWBY might have been originally about, especially when you remember that Halo was an influence alongside NGE and FF7

I remember Remnant itself was supposed to be a huge fucking gun and that's how the moon got fucked. If Salem and Grimm originated on the Moon, then that explains why. Whoever was manning the planet was trying to kill her.
>>
>>151408325
In other words, Remnant was a Death Star.

I was always sure that Adam was meant to play a bigger role considering the DMC parallels, but also the potential Journey to the West nod (Sun is Sun Wukong, so Adam is the Demon Bull King) as well as the mystery behind his eyes, the implied connection between him and Raven, Adam and Ruby sharing a Rose motif (odd considering that Monty was consistent with family members or closely associated people sharing unique symbols), the Biblical meaning behind his name, and him being both the Enchanted Rose and the Beast

Monty did put some soul into the series but I agree that the worship he gets makes no sense. A lot of what he did was going for the rule of cool, that did made the show memorable, but doesn't make for good writing for a long series.

>I didn't know the issue of people pushing what Monty would or wouldn't have done was this bad.
Sheena reignited the fire, and Kerry still hasn't delivered a new volume. Of course, people have nothing to do but argue if the post-Beacon RWBY we got is really what Monty would've wanted, and what's the best direction for RWBY to take if V10 never happens.

I like to think that Ozpin was supposed to be completely foreign to Hollow Earth-Remnant, like an inverse of the Kaguya myth that parallels with the Wizard of Oz.

Monty was basically an Ideas Guy with a skill for animation, its why he specifically hired M&K to be the writers. He knew he wasn't a good writer, and would just come up with ideas and need people to manage to work it into the writing.
Reminder that the Maidens were a pretty late idea he wanted added, not to mention Neo was created cause he saw a cool cosplayer one time.

it would explain a lot about her and Salem

>Evil Queen-Mega Satan-Shadow Witch grooms and abuses her adopted daughter (Cinder) into ending the world through mass ego death

I always suspected that Cinder used to be a student and Sheena's stuff confirming that makes me wonder if she didn't have some connection with Oz before she changed her identity from Medea to Cinder...I wonder if Monty ever watched Kung Fu Panda because it would explain why Cinder REALLY wanted Maiden powers. Maybe she was supposed to be like Tai Lung? A former Maiden candidate who Oz denied, only to fall into Salem's clutches.

from monty's twitter:

"19 years later and Evangelion still makes my brain hurt"

from monty's interview with crunchyroll:

Threezero: For collectors who may not be familiar with your work; how did the concept of RWBY come
to mind? What are some of your influences and inspirations?
Monty: RWBY is both something I came up with within the last few years, as well as something I've
wanted to do my whole life. I've been a lifelong anime and videogame fan. [Neon Genesis] Evangelion
was a big part of growing up for me, I’ve had lifelong theories about Eva that, true or not, I apply to my
show. Ghost in the Shell, I’ve watched multiple times; much of the philosophy about existence and
identity are things I’ve thought about constantly growing up. Toppa Tengen Gurren Lagann is probably
my all time favorite anime. It just has a level of energy and enthusiasm I enjoy. There are subtle (and not
so subtle) lessons in Gurren Lagann about not giving up; energy that persists beyond oneself that I apply
to RWBY."

that's not even mentioning how NGE inspired FF7 and some of the stuff Monty was a fan of (Naruto, AOT, Bleach, TTGL, KLK, etc)

Why the fuck is your quote formatted like that
>>
>>151408887
That is the reason that everyone was hired. None of them were hired for actual skill. Monty's best skill wasn't even animation it was choreography. All of the VA's were just hired because they were already there and part of the company, ditto the subanimators, and Williams and daughter for the music. RT was just a company built out of nothing but hiring vaguely skilled people who were friends.

Monty had no skill for writing or plot. He came up with neat ideas for fight scenes, half the time not even ones that made any fucking sense (see: JNPR vs Raven) and with a complete disregard for any sort of continuity (how the fuck did he imagine grimm being a threat when his first trailer idea was "lol a 13 year old fights dozens of beos at once without a scratch on her or even a hint of fear"?). He had no idea how to actually make any sort of story, just big anime reveals like "silver eyes shoot anti-grimm lasers!", "the voice over is actually the bad guy!", or "ozpin dies but then is a force ghost", and fight concepts so when he was greenlit for the show being a thing, he went to Miles and Kerry, who passed as RT's version of "writers" and asked them to actually make it a narrative. It's the reason why the trailer dialogue is so fucking cringe but then the first season is at least bearable.

>>151408888
I feel like you idiots don't understand how little Monty thought of anything beyond "cool fight". He did not even think of the maidens until AFTER VOLUME TWO. Jeff Williams (the music guy) was the one who suggest Ruby's mom be dead because Monty hadn't even bothered to think of who was in the grave when he made the first verison of the Red trailer.

Destiny was pulling from the same source material Bungie used for Marathon: the clash between Chaos and Order/Law found within Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion cycle. Warhammer, D&D, Berserk, AOT, and SMT have all pulled from Moorcock in this way.

monty was a big part of the reason the first 3 seasons had such disjointed writing
apparently monty had a nasty habit of coming up with a cool fight and leaving the writers to scramble to actually make it fit
this is why the last fight of season 1 barely included any of rwby, and was mostly a fight between the villain and two characters who were introduced the episode before.
Frankly monty should have been given a director to manage him, he should have brought on others who actually knew the stories he was aping (did you know that neither miles or kerry watched much anime at all before they were brought on to do an anime inspired show? Monty gave them like 8 shonens and told them to watch them as homework) Miles' character writing was much better in rvb than it was in rwby, so he evidently needed someone holding the reigns too

I'd be leaning more towards this, to be honest, but I'd try to keep most of the voice actors if possible, the fans like them. But yeah, it's best to just learn from their mistakes, change what must be changed, avoid the previous mistakes, and reboot it all.

The series has amazing potential, they can do so much with it, they just need to get a grip (and good writers that KNOW how to write a decent action/fantasy anime).

blame Miles, he was salty over Arryn dumping him for Adam's VA (who she then broke up with to date a CW actor who was a prick to her). RWBY isn't really a story moved by Ruby, Weiss, or Yang's choices as much as it is Jaune and Blake driving the plot...mainly because Monty liked catgirls and had "big plans" for Jaune, and Miles was biased towards whoever Arryn voiced.

No, as that approach is still full series rather than just "only X part was good, so only doing that".

Think more along the lines of the intro fight to the dust shop and interrogation jumps to the launching from the cliff. Skip the whole Jaune sneaking in stuff to immediately jump to Blake running off, condense dock fight and paladin fights vs Torchwick, Team RWBY skips out on the Vytal Festival in favor of Mountain Glenn which immediately cascades into the Fall of Beacon rather than being sealed. There's movie 1, most focus on Blake after the initial team forming up, though that time needed would have her spotlight spill over into 2.

Movie 2 the season 4-5 and elements of 6 that can be reconfigured to a different spot like Adam's killing gets cut down to Menagerie, Raven/Spring Maiden, and Mistral Academy fight with Adam dying there. Most focus will be on Yang here.

Movie 3, cover rest of 6 and going through 8. Cut the election and secrecy plot, team RWBY immediately tells Ironwood the whole Salem immortality and right at that moment, Watts makes his move so Ironwood immediately escalates. Most focus on Weiss for this one, of course.

Movie 4, Ever After and however long the endgame against Salem goes for. Specically the Neo doing a trauma conga line on Ruby, and making it clear the Brothers are absolute dicks that shouldn't be called back for first half, and then condensing all the fight against Salem for the second half Ruby gets the focus here, of course.

If I had to give a brief summary, we will be escaping the dumb moments these parts had by being relentless and giving no downtime for them to exist in.

It started out with "cool fights, hot girls, good music, and the guy making it when you listen to the commentaries actually seems to have some real vision." and then said guy fucking died and we're still seething because of how it turns out all those schizo talks about MKEK basically turning the show into their own personal jerkoff session and cash cow at the cost of its quality were entirely correct.
>>
If MKEK wants to save this show while keeping the absolutely abysmal canon intact in its entirety they should cut their losses, realize WBY are worthless characters, put them off of the side, and just have Ruby and Jaune act as dual protagonists for the rest of the series. To be clear I’m not saying that Ruby is much better than WBY as a character (He’ll she might even be worse) but she gets to stay relevant because she can act as the series cute mascot while Jaune gets the somewhat interesting storylines.
>>
>>151413050
Because the cast and crew were adamant shippers the first three volumes, so involved they were literally helping the fandom come up with ship names, and the only """""shit-talking"""" White Rose had was Kara not liking it because she thought Weiss was too mean for Ruby. It's weird how /co/ has just forgotten that even here on /co/, for the first three volumes, dyke shit was the dominant force of the fandom and Jaunefags were mocked.

Because it's more narratively interesting. It's not like Weiss being straight added much to the story.
>Her infatuation with Neptune lasted a fraction of one season, and mostly served to develop Jaune's character by having him let get over his crush on Weiss
>Her thinking old Jaune was hot was a gag
The former doesn't even require Weiss to be straight anyway, since we're talking about Monochrome you could just as easily have Jaune talk to Blake about being afraid to dance because she's a self-conscious introvert.
So really all you lose is a gag moment that I'm pretty sure most people here only like because they can use it to dunk on "yurifags"

If you think the racism subplot just shouldn't exist, Weiss should never have been racist, and Blake should have an entirely different backstory, fine. But at that point you're basically rewriting the show, so you could make whatever pairing you wanted fit the story.

It's not more narratively interesting though. West side stories are fucking boring and so is this forced attempt at making Weiss confirm to shitty Yuri ideals which WR has attempted for years and years now. Weiss doesn't need expansion of the racism arc in Volume 1 either, she just needs more work in Atlas. She is by far the best character in team RWBY so you're just trying to effectively drag her down with Blake's garbage by saying this. Or Adam's, both are bad.

Also regardless of what you say the dance arc in Volume 2 developed Pyrrha, Jaune and Weiss as characters substantively so that's already better than whatever forced drama you are appealing to here. Also the irony of claiming that anyone who responds to you is rewriting the show while you are in fact seething about how the show is and how Weiss is fucking super straight is hella ironic.

Tbh, Weiss's racism only last for like one volume. End of volume 1 was just basically her warming up with Blake.

>>151413676
He's just trying to find retarded reasons to force Weiss to be gay like the others, its the usual bullshit. Weiss doesn't need to be involved in the Faunus mess, the Faunus mess was already trash with Weiss's minimal involvement as it was. Dragging down the best developed team RWBY character - even after she got shafted for Volumes 7-8 which is a separate thing to the faunus stuff as well - is already a gigantic sin to consider.

It's also telling he uses the usual line of calling Weiss having the hots for Jaune "just a gag." This is the usual yurinigger defense so it is 100% likely its not somebody actually appealing for narrative reasons but because they wish their ship had happened.
>>
>>151413599
I don't like the SDC brand on his face. I think it would've been cooler if he had a robotic eye with Schnee family logo replacing the pupil, and it was some sort of horrible device that gave electric shocks directly to the brain of the slave. It would literally be what Weiss' dad has twisted the Schnee family legacy into staring back at us.
>>
>>151413702
But, I like yuri tho. I just don't agree with his racism arc opinion.

>>151413737
Regardless the response screams its a yurinigger making up reasons to downgrade a good character with involvement in the WORST story arc of the entire story as somehow a positive thing that proves she should be gay.
>>
>>151413728
I think the brand's a good idea. Imagine Walmart forced you into slavery and literally seared their logo into your face, so that whenever you looked into the mirror you had to see their shitty branding.

It's not like it's a cool, aesthetic scar. It's a permanent tattoo cauterized over his eye. He has every reason to hate them. He probably really liked his face before that, now he can't even look in the mirror. If it was a robotic eye he could just close it.
>>
>>151413599
One time at a boring job I was just brainstorming random ideas for how I would change things in some shows.
One of them was a change to the Adam encounter at the end of Volume 6.
All four of the girls are there to confront him.
He starts out not hostile, but diplomatic, trying to form an alliance against Salem.
He'll try to appeal to each of them individually. Blake's sense of justice, if your grudge gets in the way of saving lives, then how are you any better. Yang, he'd apologize sincerely to, but still claim that in an active war, combatants don't have the freedom to consider their enemies' lives after battle, she's permanently injured plenty of soldiers in her time too.
Weiss however would be different. He'd take off his mask to show the scar, and Weiss would recognize him. Then comes the backstory.
When Adam was young, he'd sneak around the houses of the rich in Atlas in hopes of finding food or valuables. One night, he heard crying out of a window. It was Weiss after her parents were angry with her. He told her stories and joked with her to cheer her up. She'd sneak out some food to help him.
As implied in Mirror Mirror part 2, Weiss was all but forbidden from having friendships because of her parents and their controlling nature. One day, she was called into the entry hall to find Adam in cuffs and her father looking angry. He was caught stealing from the mansion. Jacques asks if she knows this faunus, and out of fear she says she does not. "Well in that case-" he takes the branding iron out of the fire and sticks it to Adam's face. Weiss turns and runs, but still hears his screams.

it's been years, so I'm not sure I had all the details ironed out, or even remember if I ever did. I'm not going to write it as fanfic, but I'll keep in mind the idea for something else I want to create.
>>
>>151413819
That just sounds like you sucking off Adam because even in the nicest interpretations of him he would still be hostile to RWBY in Volume 6 and they would be hostile to him. Ignoring the dumb Weiss backstory you could have just added with Winter instead who is actually his age.
>>
>>151413800
That could easily be fixed by having the eyelids on that side removed (for an extra layer of cruelty). Thought, I'd take the brand being the Schnee symbol instead of SDC. More striking, ya know?
>>
Everyone just wants to legitimize their own RWBY fanfiction in the end.
>>
>>151413834
yeah, I didn't have the space to write it, but even after this, the altercation still ends in a fight. He's only after the protection of the Faunus, and so someone trying to end all life would still be his concern. He's still a villain, but more like how he's shown in the first two volumes rather than what they did with him later on. I thought that comes across by how he's only sorry to Yang after he wants something from her, and implies that he'd do it again if they stayed on opposite sides.
Plus, Adam doesn't have to be a similar age to Weiss to make the story work. He could still be her friend even if he's much older than her.

Pyrrha yes, Jaune yes, Weiss no.
Pyrrha shows she's willing to put Jaune's happiness above her own just like Jaune did with Weiss, Jaune and Pyrrha get closer, and even Neptune has a 5 minute arc about getting over himself. Weiss doesn't have any meaningful change. She liked Neptune, got rejected, and then got unrejected because Jaune talked to Neptune. All that changed was she softened on Jaune but her hating him was always a meme, she just didn't want to date him.

Because they lazily offscreened it. It should have been fleshed out more.

>>151413702

Adam literally has her family's company logo branded on his face. Sure it was a dumb 11th hour reveal that the writers backpedaled on, but it's still fucking stupid Adam literally never even interacted with a Schnee.
>the best developed team RWBY character
That's really a "winner by default" competition to be fair. Blake's defining character moment happened in a trailer. Ruby's development as a leader happens offscreen. Watching the entire series makes you wonder if Yang is bipolar. RWBY is not written well.
>It's also telling he uses the usual line of calling Weiss having the hots for Jaune "just a gag."
It's a wacky interjection with the intention of being humorous. It's quite literally a gag.

But acting like tweaking a characters sexuality that was plot-relevant for maybe an hour over the course of the series is some cardinal sin, then you're the same type of person as the yurifags you screech about.

what makes you say that?
She's not exactly the best fighter. From the looks of it, she needs to be using her camera to activate her semblance of mimicking other fighting styles.
The fact that she apparently only has to save her camera to use at the right time (and the city being flooded with Grimm is according to Coco, not the right time) means she's pretty close to useless.
Why is she even there?

Incorrect, she only uses the camera to basically print out hard-light copies of weapons, her semblance works just fine without the camera, just don't expect it to be effective with a fighting style that hinges on a specific weapon (like Ruby)
>>
>>151414881
That whole Crunchyroll thing was because they weren't getting the funding from WB anymore, and needed another backer.
>>
>>151415086
So really, she should have been best friends with Yang since her weapons are secondary as long as you don't try to hit things from afar.

Did she even know Yang at that point though?
I'm not denying that this whole thing was pretty poorly planned, but it's not like you can't make it make sense with some reasonable enough inferences.
Or just not caring, that's probably what most people do.

>he had to build all his assets and most of his animation team from near scratch
Using shitty software that wasn't meant to do the things he wanted it to do, fucking over the other animators who had real experience with actual animation software. Dillon Gu used Blender before he was forced to use Poser. The dumbass didn't even know what nude models were, and got pissed at a fan for suggesting it and accused him of just wanting porn. Because of him, they had to make new models every time the characters had different outfits, wasting resources. And that was the case until later in the show's run. Work smarter, not harder. Like another anon said, he wasn't an animator but a choreographer.
>while also trying to teach the two dumbfucks he was saddled with how to write and what an anime was
You mean his friends. Monty chose those 2 to write. He just told them to watch a handful of anime without helping them understand it. Quit riding the guy's dick.

Eh, it's probably not a good idea to befriend (or observe rather, she doesn't need good relations to proc her semblance, just observation) Yang early on, since her fighting style then involved getting hit a lot then dishing shit back. Velvet can't copy Burn, so early Yang's style would fuck her over.

As funny as the fetish thing is, the most likely answer is that, having come from Atlas iirc, Velvet has been taught at a young age to be proper and not act out to not let people dismiss her as an animal.
She was probably worried that getting physical would make her look like a the faunus equivalent to being labeled a coon, and not encourage more racists to bother her for a reaction.
That's my guess anyway, the writers have never exactly been all that good at writing bout anything surrounding the Faunus.

Well she would just not be a villain anymore since Kaguya thinks immortality rocks and wouldn't want to die, and she doesn't have anything against humanity. Assuming we're porting over the Lunarians too I could see the Grimm being a reinterpretation of that one line of dialogue Kaguya says in Th8
>"Heh heh. We of the moon turned some on the Earth into monsters, to regulate the Earthlings' impurity."
Making the actual villains be the Lunarians pissed someone shot their homeworld and wiped most of them out and retaliating by cranking up the were-rays to 11 to make a bunch of monsters to wipe out humanity without touching them. So as for Oz he'd likely have to be replaced too, and an obvious candidate would be Mokou not for yurishit (i'm actually pretty against shipping them together as popular as it is) but it would result in a twist that the battle between Oz / Mokou and Salem / Kaguya would instead just be two immortals having an incredibly petty eternal grudge match and using the morties around them as pawns distracting them from the actual threat of the Lunarians which would suck though I guess that would wrap back around to Kaguya becoming the villain again alongside Mokou / Oz

This would also mean the actual big bad of the series after those two are defeated would probably be Watatsuki no Toyohime

Nah I say flip these around. The Lunarians created the Grimm to wipe the humans and eventually leave the earth free of impurity so they can come down to claim it.
This pissed off old humanity enough when they figured out what happened that they destroyed the moon in retaliation. The Lunarians were wiped by whatever the old humans used to destroy the moon, the old humans were eventually wiped by the initial Grimm, much more powerful than the later Grimm because the first couple generations were empowered by the Lunarians.

This leaves Kaguya and Mokou as the only two left that remember the old civilizations, continuing their long held grudge via constant proxy wars in the world their people left broken.

End game RWBY is the protags realizing both immortals are assholes and tossing them in a black hole.

Rewatching season 3, the one he worked on but died, there's a noticeable uptick in the episodes just being fights for the runtime. I'm gonna rewatch 1 and 2 sometime to check, but I remember rewatching season 3 earlier this year and being shocked at how it was just fights.

Regardless of if my theory is true that season 3 was FUCKED and they even had Monty for half the thing, I have always maintained that Monty made the writing cohesive no matter what the revisionists want to say. There's a reason after 3 the plot largely became "The characters walk and talk, walk and talk.The characters sit in here and talk about the plot. Team RWBY and JNR sit on the sidelines. Blake and Weiss don't even have fucking arcs after Adam and Atlas. Bumblebee." The story is thrown at you, you're not watching a show.

Because the rights for RWBY were a liquidation sale. It's a pr thing that Viz wants Kerry to have a heavy say in RWBY's finale. They're on some level on the Viz payroll but they can be fired at any time because Vic doesn't give a fuck about them. I'm not saying it's that dour, I'm saying if the remnants of RT's yuppie workfoce cause a stink they're just gonna axed.

Full send

Dispatch even looks like RWBY's artstyle, and JNPR backstories (at least Jaune and Pyrrha) are vague enough to let Adhoc to really let it rip, and focusing on Jaune would let them focus on strategem gameplay over pure action.

Also you don't have to worry about all the baggage with the main four by delegating them as side-characters. You could even do the Telltale shit of two romance options between Pyrrha and Weiss and or influencing Ren and Nora to get together.

It's fine either way, but they'd probably make the second girl more prickly or slightly evil like they've done in the Telltales I've played. So like, Neo or Cinder.

It'd be peak either way. Give JNPR a new Adhoc villain based on Bluebeard and Gilles de Rais that acts as a potshot to Wolves Among Us and references Jaune's inspiration. Someone to parallel his worst or opposite traits that want to exploit Pyrrha's fame.
