Even the song writer wrote a better character for Ruby. Red Like Roses tells a story of a girl who is tormented by the death of her mother so much that she’s arguing with her mother beyond the grave about why she left her to fight instead of living to raise her. You don’t get this grief and sadness from seeing Ruby? At least not in the couple of seasons I’ve watched all the way. It would’ve least been interesting if Ruby was a character that hides her pain behind a smile?

@@SgtDax wait so, rewrite Adam so that he's instead like an incel that got rejected and was so upset about it he joined the anti Faunus stormfront and pledged to destroy her life (and also her people)? His bad dialogue suddenly becomes weirdly more believable. The obviously better thread of rwby does weapons, makes one for John D'ark (I know.), Even granting some extra ship teasing between ruby and jaune. And stuff like throwing herself into it, or being burned out and not feeling it, are threads that could help show the character during some of the later seasons. As well as letting them switch up a couple weapons more easily and gradually, rather than sudden random blacksmith, then atlas upgrades for all.

@BroKenYaKnow
@BroKenYaKnow 3 месяца назад
@@SummDude168 The trait was gone by then, which it would have overstayed it's tolerance if it stuck around any longer, but it was relevant the entire first book. Sokka really doesn't have much else going on as far as character development goes in the first season. The fact that he's relationship with Suki was fundamentally built on the fact made removing it more sexist in the netflix series because it turns her entire character into cute love interest that can fight who then disappears until after the moon stuff happens. Without it, you don't see Sokka get absolutely humbled. Even on top of that, not once in the show is this shown to be a good trait that he has, very much the opposite happens really. And it parallels very nicely when you get to the northern water tribe. Like if the show didn't want sexism to be displayed on camera, then they should have replaced it with literally anything else. The show had no problem leaving in either of the siblings xenophobia anyway (ofc it's fictional nations so that makes it totally fine /s)

@HiHi-iu8gf
@HiHi-iu8gf 4 года назад
Haven't finished the video, so don't know the context of this just yet, but arguably it depends on how you go about it. Radicals are a real thing, and every ideology has the potential to become 'evil' with a bad interpretation of how the problems the ideology seeks to counter could be remedied. Just because a show has a bad guy with a reasonable ideology, doesn't mean the writers are necessarily saying that ideology on its own is inherently bad. Of course there *are* also cases where the author is clearly just pushing some sort of agenda, but I find the generalisation of the 'worst type of villain' to be kinda wack. Like, to give a generalised and popular example - Thanos (in the movies) is trying to fix overpopulation, because his homeworld got fucked by overpopulation. Now there are obviously ways he could have gone about fixing this problem for other planets, but he chose the radical decision of just culling off half of everybody. The writer doesn't do this as some kind of an affront towards people who have fears of overpopulation, rather to create a villain with more sympathetic and thus believable motives than just, grr i am bad guy, bad guy do evil thing. Now all that being said, Thanos isn't the ideal perfect example of amazing writing imo, but it's certainly critically 'better' writing than the alternative offered in the comic source material, where Thanos is just simping for the godess of death or something *EDIT:* Aight, I've just got past the White Fang part. My point still stands, uh, kinda. At least it still stands against the SarahZ quote. The White Fang seem to have been written as a Faunus-rights turned Faunus supremacist group - which I think is a valid writing point. I think the reason it's bad isn't because a sensible ideology is being 'demonised', rather because they're using racism as more of an empty plot point. Radicalisation of an ideology that is otherwise sensible can be written well, it's just that RWBY doesn't write it well. A just cause without a just means is a villain concept that can work. As hbomberman mentions, there's just a lack of nuance to the situation and the ideas it brings up aren't really explored meaningfully (I think in one of the later seasons they expand on this a bit more, in the arc where Blake returns to her hometown, but it might be a bit late at that point). Basically, I don't think the 'bafflingly evil stuff' is an inherent problem, and I was gonna say something else but I've forgotten it now so uh-

I feel like a lot of what makes a story successful is the way it sets up expectations, and how it delivers its payoffs. ideally, you want people interested in a work, but with their expectations relatively low. if you can pull that off, you have the opportunity to really blow your audience away. this is why a lot of my favorite media has beginnings that seem really quaint or simple before they escalate. what's unfortunate about RWBY is that it kind of gets this backwards. the trailers are really good, and they set your expectations sky high for what the show will be like. then you start episode one, and _that's_ when things get quaint, simple, low stakes, and goofy. not what you had primed yourself for. picture for a moment, a world where RWBY didn't have those trailers at all. the show began with episode one after having been hyped up primarily via word-of-mouth before the release. now, you can imagine some fixes within the show itself if you want to... but ultimately what we're dealing with is a story about four teenage girls who meet each other at magical monster hunter school. the tone is light... it hasn't really tipped its hand as to how good it might get yet. some might even think that all it ever aspires to be is a slice-of-life school drama. but then let's say that one of the fights from the trailer is integrated into the show, (or at least a fight of similar quality to that), as a climactic moment within the story. up until this point, your expectations had been set at somewhere around the level of "background characters are just shadowy silhouettes" and "dust cloud with fists and stars flying out of it = two characters fighting" but now? the show just bumped up its standing with you a LOT in a very short amount of time. that's when you start hounding your friends to watch this hidden gem you just stumbled upon. you get to feel like you yourself have struck gold. but then the trick going forward, for the people making this show, would be to not spend all their good ideas in one place. a truly good idea is one that makes the _writers_ excited to see more of their own creation. an audience trusts an author the most when they consistently prove that they, as an author, are interested in what they made for the same reasons as their fans. you might not know what the author intends to do next, like, there can be a lot of crazy shit on the table... but you can believe that the author is more interested in using the avenues they have, rather than ruining any part of the core appeal. I think RWBY just jumped the gun (haha) with its big action set pieces. it put the cart before the horse.

Making sure the students get every detail. This would instantly make it a much more serious and investing scene. But no, instead they just made it seem like a joke

Honestly, I'm pretty sure I've seen plenty of fanfics doing exactly this, because it's such an easy way to use a character quirk to lend gravitas. I can't remember how many times I've read a Professor Oobleck that still talks faster and with more technical terms the more excited he is at something because he just can't contain his passion well enough for other people to keep up, but is also driven by that same passion to take extra care when the mood turns serious, so that his point is perfectly clear. As joyful as Fandom Oobleck is at the prospect of discovery and exploration, he is also sober and respectful in regards to the hard lessons sometimes learned, because Oobleck gives not one, but several fucks, about teaching, or knowledge, or history, or whatever central passion a given author has used to flesh out his character. Also I've basically never read anyone reusing his exact canonical lines about racism, because those lines are shit.

There was a game called Anachronox and one of the team members you get had a Babble style attack. Literally just verbally assaulting people with academic nonsense. Mildly ironically the game's cutscenes, skipping the game parts, was one of the most viewed things on Machinima. I love that game. It's fight gameplay is unbalanced garbage, if you play it just put it on the easiest setting because it only impacts the fight mechanic and the difference between easy and hard is fight is easy and takes 1 minute and fight is easy and takes 10 minutes. But the story, the RPG stuff, and the non-fight gameplay is golden.

Homeschooled kids, kids who live in really closed off communities or cults, kids whose parents keep them away from society because they’re paranoid or angry. There’s an entire spectrum of isolation and harm that that does, and they may have been able to explore that but unfortunately they chalked up his ignorance of the world to just… being stupid? I guess? They once again had a good idea and fumbled it almost impressively

the thing that really drives the nail in the coffin for Yang's semblance is that it's really easy to see a correlation between getting hurt and being angry. If they had just decided on it being anger from the start it would've opened up loads of pathways for arcs discussing questions like which kinds of anger it includes (what if she's upset with herself?), if it applies to other strong emotions and whether using pure anger to fight is effective. I personally have imagined an entire arc where she screws up bad on a mission but becomes much stronger in fights, only for it to be revealed she's actually using internalized frustation and anger at her own mistakes or helplesness and has to realize how that isnt healthy despite the power boost. A character who's power is linked to strong emotions is just begging for awesome character development!!!

@@richieordeanidc536 no. essentially, they told her she's over-reliant on her semblance because "it's a glorified temper tantrum" (despite this never being an evident flaw in her fighting prior to this) and repeatedly told her to use it less, despite her never being shown to use it any more than anyone else (bar ruby and weiss; w ruby hardly ever utilising her very-useful semblance and weiss actually being the one who over-relies on her semblance - summoning, specifically). this arc didnt really touch on her alleged-anger problems (beside a few comments here-and-there), instead forcing yang to just stop using her semblance all out; something that we never see applied despite the arc being concluded. this is a common problem within rwby, wherein they'll get stuck on what arcs to give the girls and arbitrarily create flaws for them to *fix* (not work around or adapt to - it's always "fixing" said-flaws), despite the writers' lazy storytelling actually organically creating flaws for the characters (both personality-based *and* action-wise) that will never be acknowledged or addressed. another example of this is the "ruby needs to learn hand-to-hand" conflict which was materialised out of the blue - ruby had actually been shown to be entirely-fine at h2h in every instance prior to this, but the writers randomly decided that she's too reliant on crescent rose and needs to learn h2h in the event that she is unable to access crescent rose (which was only ever a problem *once*, in the very ending of v8 and active in v9; which took place long after she'd already "overcome" this non-existent flaw of hers). funnily enough, *weiss* (again) is the one who shouldve had this arc as she is *constantly* finding herself unable to access myrtenaster and rendered-useless in battle (since she's the one who's *actually* shown to be incapable of h2h). regardless though, the writers' insistence that every flaw must be *fixed* is what irritates me the most. ruby was never shown to be left wo crescent rose in battle (at the time) and even if she was her semblance is literally *perfect* for tactical retreats in the event that she's defenceless in battle - instead of wasting ruby's and the audience's time learning h2h, they shouldve dedicated that arc to her mastering her semblance and acclimating herself to using it in battle; that would address an *organic* flaw w ruby's character, freshen up her combat and make it more interesting and versatile to watch, address an interesting character flaw of hers wherein she clearly has some sort of hang-up ab retreating (qrow v tyrian, for example) *and* would allow her to finally explore the possibility of picking up and transporting multiple people w her semblance like we're teased. but no, never, not in *my* 3d abomination. the people only want to see jaune - the real main character! anyways the point is that, whilst yang's "anger issues" were never an organic flaw that was present in any of her fight scenes prior to its conception (because her fighting style was literally based off of a strategic, defensive style utilised by monks), they couldve made it an interesting arc regardless if they had written it as u suggested; yang learning to use her heightened-emotions constructively. however, they certainly did not do that, due to the writers' inability to allow their characters to maintain recognised-flaws; instead instead going w the boring and nonsensical plot line of yang being forced to just hardly ever use her semblance because "flaw = bad and bad = must be purged"

Miles and Kerry didn’t know enough about writing to understand story mechanisms. I doubt they play the same games as Monty. Having a unique power per character is stupid in terms of reusable assets. But Monty would also disappear and create a new character without telling anyone. Also, three writers without a main show runner? Come on. You also needed to sync with Monty’s workflow which was all local files. So showing not telling might have been arduous. But the writers came from red v blue-they didn’t understand storyboarding. They were strong in jokes and dialogue and bro humor. Also episodic television resets characters, the writers didn’t know that. Rick from Rick and morty reset himself after every episode; his acholicism is to support this story mechanic. This is why shounen manga have tournament arcs. The central story question for every character converges-rather than braid. Cowboy bebop isn’t the best story to learn from. Tragedies are really tricky.

There's probably not a single person in the cast who could take the place as the normal-knees addition to the super team who then grows into the pivotal role they've been thrust into. God, now I kind of want to see what Ruby would've been like if there was some sort of "it's bad for kids to unlock their aura before the end of puberty, so we unlock it in their last year at Signal Academy" plot point. She would surely be aware of aura, but could still be in a position to get a quick on-screen cliffnotes summary from her dad/uncle before they unlock it for her to get her ready for Beacon. Not being able to use it to its fullest potential in a fight could be the reason she steps back and starts coming up with off the wall strategies for the Giant Nevermore fight, it would give weiss more of a reason to resent being placed under her, give Ruby a reason to react with "uh...what?" when someone uses their aura to lift a shield from twenty yards away...okay, hang on.

I honestly felt Weiss was the worse party between the two, but both were in the wrong somewhat. Weiss was more or less a misandrist bitch to Jaune even when he tried to help her early on. She acted coldly to him in her early judgemental attitude whichfueled Jaune's poor self-esteem issues and made him crave the approval of someone he wanted acknowledgement from. You notice how Jaune never interacted nor pointed out Weiss worse character traits and only focused on her good traits? He deluded himself and only focused on Weiss' talents and virtues to the lack of anything else. He admired her, and she put him down due to her own poor attitude. The more Weiss put Jaune down, thinking he only wanted her for her family name due to her father, she fed into his self-pity and desperation to try harder and he went in the wrong direction. It was only after Weiss met Neptune (who is ALOT like Jaune) that she learned that she was projecting her father onto someone who honestly didn't deserve it, as Yang pointed out at the start. Meanwhile Jaune grew out of his self-hatred with Pyrrha's help, finding acceptance from someone else. He became willing to act like himself and stopped trying to be someone else. Weiss and Jaune fed into each other's worse traits in a representation of a toxic relationship, and grew once they reconciled. The whole Weiss-Jaune sub-plot was a continuation of their character development and tying up loose ends (though it still felt open ended). Weiss became less of an unintentional abusive misandrist, and Jaune (briefly) learned to value himself. ...Before the ending of Volume 3 undid much of that development. I would've honestly liked a final scene between the two at the dance. Weiss apologizing to Jaune and promising to become kinder to him as a friend and Jaune rejecting a dance to spend time with Pyrrha.

She talks to Sun in Menagerie about how this land that was given to them is so difficult to live in, and that it's something that was given to them to effectively shut them up, and because no one wanted it because it's overrun with Grimm. They do this sitting in a fucking beach front bar, sipping fruity cocktails... And then they walk across this island paradise, with massive roads wide enough for multiple cars, looking at the houses in this beautiful place, saying how they all live on top of one another... Not only is that not the case as we are literally being shown the wide open streets and single story huts, but the crown fucking jewel is when Sun asks "Which house is yours?". And then she points to the HUGE FUCKING MANSION in the middle of the settlement, with room around it for fucking attached grounds... And that's what I mean about Blake's character suddenly breaking... She's not the victim of racial prejudice, because this instantly turns her into a spoilt rich kid who's acting out against her daddy... Which I guess you can make into something with regards to character, but it completely broke the character for me. And then when you actually see Atlas and Mantle later in the show, where Faunus are actually living in seriously difficult conditions, in virtual slums, ACTUALLY STACKED ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER, she comes off like such a massive privilaged bitch - ironically mirroring Weiss a lot more than I think they ever intended...

He mostly focused on the first 3 volumes for this video. I wouldn't be surprised if he was saving that strong criticism for a possible future RWBY video that spoke about the disasters that were volumes 4-9. Of course, it's good that you also pointed this up, along many other fans who kept up with the show, but that scene is from volume 4. He probably was also planning to criticize harshly the Argus, Haven, and Atlas arcs, especially the episode With Friends Like These and the terrible volume 8 finale, which combined with volume 9 pretty much killed the show. But well, only time will tell if he will make another video to criticize the post-Monty volumes or the Rooster Teeth company as a whole.

This sounds like what happens when the writers and environmental artists don't properly speak to each other. Like, not a single person noticed the discrepancy and pointed it out.

There's something that I would like to bring up is that we're introduced to Blake's past with her in dirty clothes, unkempt hair, and dirt is on her face. We're led to believe that she was an orphan living on the streets and Adam took her in by the way she talks about her past. An alley cat, so to speak. This would be an actually interesting piece of history for her character and give her interest in being a huntress purpose. But, much like everything that could have been interesting about RWBY, the writers went with something incredibly tone-deaf instead. Now Blake is this privileged rich girl that's never faced hardship in her life and is the heir to her own independent city state, who got to travel to another country to study abroad, preach about social justice but never actually do anything about it, and then told the oppressed masses fighting for change that it's their fault they don't have rights.

The quote at 1:45:00 and the stuff about Miles and Kerry mimicking things from anime without really understanding why what they were mimicking was good reminded me of a bit from Down the Rabbit Hole's video essay on the chess computer Deep Blue: He mentions how at one point, scientists and programmers fed a computer a bunch of high level chess games in an effort to teach the computer what to do. The result was that the computer would immediately try to sacrifice it's queen as quickly as possible, because those games it was fed often featured a player sacrificing their queen to achieve a winning position. But without the context, the computer just learned "if I sacrifice my queen, I win".

I’m guessing this was their way of getting away with a “stylistic look” without putting the models through a lighting and texture render.

My guess was always that Jaune just didn't know what a Semblance was because his family didn't have Semblances either (much like how most people in Remnant don't have Semblances or have their Aura activated by proxy. Sort of like how everyone has chakra coils in Naruto, but not everyone knows how to use them or what Chakra is because they haven't learned about it. With that, and the fact Jaune is clueless about a lot of things and had to fake his test results to even get into Beacon, I found it to be somewhat believable that he doesn't know what a Semblance is. Otherwise, he could've just asked his parents/siblings to activate it, since they would presumably know about it as well otherwise... right?

The whole thing about Ruby being a weapon nerd/hobbyist mad inventor, only for that trait to be dropped is like, a top 10 biggest let downs for the show (which is impressive for a show made almost entirely of let downs). It's not only a super interesting a unique character trait, that could tie into Ruby's social awkwardness (being a shut-in who spends more time drawing, designing, and creating cool weapons than socializing with people), but also serve as a legitimate means of bonding her to her friends and teammates. Weiss comes on very strongly as a prim, spoiled, and privileged girl used to getting what she wants, used to bossing people around. When she comes into conflict with Ruby about being the leader, it would be more interesting if Ruby, not being used to such harsh and directed criticism, initially ceded to Weiss's demands, preferring to avoid the conflict rather than play it out, because she's not well socialized. But because of Weiss's leadership being so militant, stiff, harsh, and strict, her teammates fail to live up to her high expectations, and/or execute her plans properly, because they either don't understand, don't respect, or simply don't care about her plans, because she's so unlikable and uncharismatic as a leader. This gets team RWBY into serious trouble when they find themselves surrounded by bad guys and in serious peril, when, in desperation, Weiss turn to Ruby to see if she has any idea. Ruby, who has been spending a lot of time watching each of her teammates fight, and by now has a pretty good idea of how their weapons, Semblances, and fighting styles work, comes up with an unorthodox plan that might just work, and saves the day. This way, we show that Ruby, despite her immaturity and inexperience, has the right mindset to be an effective leader, and a capable Huntress; being such a weapons nerd, a Hunter-fangirl, and being creatively-minded, in a way that can put together abstract pieces of information and arrange them into a coherent pattern, makes her a far more effective leader than the much more refined Weiss. This COULD have been the conflict between Weiss and Ruby, but instead it was nothing.

HE'S WEARING A CROSS???? DID JESUS DIE IN RWBY?!?!?!?
@amf8648
@amf8648 6 месяцев назад
Yeah xD My theory is that - since originally Ruby also wore a cross in the trailer and then they changed in the show -- they forgot to the same with Qrow. And Qrow probably orignally only designed to be related to Ruby before they made her and Yang siblings. So yeah, I think they forgot to change his pins to some thing because, a BILLION years later, they did introduce religion into this universe and it has nothing to do with jesus XD

What I don't understand is the fact that the original FMA wasn't terrible. The ending was convoluted to say the least, but overall it wasn't bad. RWBY has fundamental problems that need to be fixed which will in turn completely change how the story gets told. At that point, a reboot isn't likely. A completely new show in a different time period is where I would go presuming Rooster Teeth sees the project as worthwhile. Which I would watch no questions asked of course.

@@LiveType Theoretically, it should be possible to fix at least its early mistakes without straying _too far_ from what makes RWBY, RWBY and its original major plotline. At least up to Volume 3 and the Fall of Beacon. The problem is the immeasurable ammount of screentime and technical skill that would be needed to be deticated just to explore its missing concepts, fix the plot holes and connect its thousands of loose ends and disjointed plot points into a cohesive story together with proper pacing! Edit: Yeah, I'm trying my best with a RWBY "remake" fanfic right now and oooh boy, that's a lotta work just dedicated to the outline of the plot. But it's possible if you are creative enough to work around the major plotline events and expand the lore "sideways" and add other events to justify how and why they were needed, specially if you tweak just some minor details of the worldbuilding around it. But yeah, that's the natural problem that comes with high stakes stories with intrigue plans that have dozens upon dozens of moving parts.

No, FMA 2003 didn't become popular by using cool fight as it's crutch or by pulling from Frankenstein, the Divine Comedy, real life, etc in just surface level appearances as RWBY is. The staff had an understanding of it's story, characters and how to utilize themes to progress them. Like Liore/Reole wasn't moved to a desert just cause thats where the Iraq War was, it's because that influence actually serves a narrative and thematic purpose. There is not an equal lack of good storytelling here, if there were far more US fans would've dropped it and rushed to read the manga when it was released in 2005, they did not....and many still don't. RWBY at it's core it's just _"oooh look epic fights"_ so it didn't properly tell the story of it's characters because it doesn't know WHO THEY TRULY ARE OR WHY THEY'RE HERE. The entire series would have to be rewritten with an intent to actually tell something not just show cool stuff. How RWBY was given 100+ episodes in such a state is a mystery and just...exhausting to me.

They wrote a frankly shitty, barely iterated screenplay and wrote "they fight" on scenes where Monty does his thing. Instead of a proper back and forth where both writers don't feel like they have to write with limitations created by this lack of communication. All while on top. These people don't know how to write an action cartoon for teens outside of the idea phase. Ideas are fine, but you kinda need to read up and study on how to execute that shit. Learning on the job like this is yikes. I've heard that done due to poor upper management hiring the wrong guy that lied in just the right ways to land the gig. But to be your own upper management and lacking the self awareness to know you aren't the guy that should do this job is on them. Your greatest critics should be your own team and yourself to run a successful project,

@Mrimchaelson In the first place, the people that he worked with to craft the story were severely under qualified. So even if he wanted to properly collab he'd be very frustrated. He probably was. But yes Monty was always best as a fight choreographer and rwby was best as just a bunch of shorts by him. And then maybe a few lore dump videos to fill in the gaps, instead of a story. To take advantage of a more fan engagement aspect of an IP. As the story would be handled by way more capable writers. Anything good or whatever sticks in the fandom. Becomes fan canon and Monty just stays hands off and keeps doing his lil shorts, selectively using what's good through implication. Because to outright canonized fan ideas means the author of it might demand royalties for it and... it could become a really stupid legal battle.

Mrimchaelson I disagree, I think he had the broad strokes and a concept but wanted writers to do the writing. It's pretty common in TV production to start with a concept and pitch, and then put together a writers room to develop the seasons.

@Mrimchaelson i know the type. And yes its very annoying. But he needs to communicate with his team and synergise his animations with the story. It would be good for him too. Since limitations drive creative solutions. But at the core of it. He was the only guy vaguely qualified to write and direct at a competent lvl.

Honestly, that's short-sighted thinking. If you make a darker story, but keep more light-hearted moments, the "boop" stands out that much more and thus is arguably even more marketable. Even Avatar knew how to juggle really dark moments with really light moments.
