RWBY "Red" Trailer | Rooster Teeth 

XD yeah, if you look at it that way.

XD

Lol

*a badass drunk bird

Adrielli LMAOOOOOOOOOO

Zeroster Lol that’s just being evil but satisfying, no lie.

best answer lmao!!!!

When you finish the side quests before you begin the main

Meanwhile people just starting on the server: " holy s*** when can i do that?"

@@Tom531Cat FR just level up and go to the first level

It’s like a Trick Weapon from Bloodborne.

A scythe mixed with a gun. Reminds me of Margaret Moonlight from No More Heroes 2.

@@Jaydee-wd7wr before bloodborne existed lmao. RWBY influence bloodborne?

It's also the most complex weapon

Just dont show it to Skallagrim.

If you’ve never seen anything by Cake Station, he’s working with a crew of people dedicated to recreating this style

The fight choreography also has great synergy with John and Casey Lee Williams' music. It's a pairing that makes you wish you could play it as a video game but then realize that it would need to be slowed down for a video game

Only one comes to mind and it's Mark Zhane but even then he was influenced by this style...

Hello ,theres one specific animator who does The person who animated tai lung escape in kung fu panda

I'd recommend the spiderverse movies

RWBYs plot points sound like really cool concepts but have the poorest execution

Explains why the show feels like it's being made up as it goes lol

@@jaykim6434 It IS being made up as it goes :(

@@jaykim6434 RWBY is literally the theme song, Curb your Enthusiasm, personified. More so than the show that the theme song came from.

@@Stinger20638 Lmao okay that just might be the best explanation for RWBY ever

She was 14!? When I first watched this, I thought the singer was in her 20s. Kid's got a good voice. (Though, that would put her at 21/22 now, so kid might not be an accurate label)

I think she said that she was 12 when starting the volume 1 soundtrack

@@velbutvel she is Jeff Williams' (this song's composer) daughter so he had her sing.for this trailer

I used to have that same pfp for a long while xD

@@velbutvel Meanwhile, I'm 12 and can't sing at all..

😭

I feel the same

Woo

Hopefully the Anime does justice to what RWBY could have been, rather than the mess it is now.

Is he dead?!

Who's ever asked that?

This is the real story of little red riding hood, the wolves were the victims.

+Lemon Moon That's the joke.

+MrLuizilla Wow. For an undead skeleton, my boy Grimm Reaper got game. Either that or he should hereby also be known as the Grimm Raper

Let's talk about that...?

Anthony Moreno Yeah. it's never been seen since.

It's used in V4 and that's about it. I think it git used in V6 and at the beginning of V7 but I'd have to rewatch that scene to make sure.

Blarf currently watching v6, it is indeed used

Which config is that?

Shane Gibson 2:50

Not even a line of dialogue was said, yet there was so much emotion told exclusively through the visuals and the music. Imagine if RWBY was a story that was only told through visuals? That would've been unique, interesting, and they wouldn't have had to spend time writing something that would potentially be mediocre. All they'd need to do is write events and how characters fight together and interact physically rather than write dialogue or a complex plot. Oh, and the music would've had to be incredible too, and obviously that was shown in these shorts.

@@DrWalterBennett that's pretty much what Monty was doing with his Dead Fantasy series before getting hired by Rooster Teeth.

agreed

Because this is art.

feels like a jackie chun or bruce lee fight scene with anime and cheography

I was 12 when this showed up in my feed. I watched it from then on to now. Looks i know what my next tattoo will be

Russian dub still has it to vol. 2 11 chapter. But i like OG voices more...

THANK YOU!!!!

The RWBY story is full of cliches from anime and western drama shows. There's nothing to really spoil that can't have been predicted after a couple episodes.

ocarinaplaya Obvious troll is obvious.

+ReklawLah Not trolling. If you've ever played Asura's Wrath, you've basically seen RWBY.

Thanks

Monty with the cool stuff as always tbh. I miss him a lot.

Jeff: What if it's her mom?

Monty: That’s cool.

Omg y’all I can’t, you didn’t even tag each other

​@@anirbanhasan8988yes

The show on the other hand... It started off as decent milk, then aged horribly, then the writers tried to add fine wine into the spoiled milk to fix it but the wine was actually off-brand boxed wine from 7/11.

@@snakeslife-uroborodjinn790 That is like, the most accurate thing I’ve ever seen written in a youtube comment or any other place. Only thing I could say was the milk was bought a day before expiration from the family dollar right next to the 7/11

neek

Idk the wolf growls are kinda 😅

@@snakeslife-uroborodjinn790 you’re joking?

Cthulu Griffin ~ omg these comments need recognition

Ooh ye

Grandma put something in the cookie dough

What is good in the hood?

purple squid that’s why Roman called her little red lol

Exactly

Ruby just got swoll

@@bubbledog12 There would still be at least some weight, even if someone is stronger than before, the weight and momentum would still play a big factor in how it's used. Whereas now, it has no weight and just seems like some light plastic that she just uses like a sword. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Yeah back when Ruby's entire fighting style was based around using momentum and recoil supported by her speed, she'd twist and spin her body around like in this trailer making use of those aspects to add force to her swings . Like I get that Monty's fighting style was time-intensive to animate but they couldn't at least keep the recoil aspect...

@@LonkiDonki Exactly

Yes. Though to be fair Monty made this trailer solely on his own as a pitch to RT, so he sort of made her as OP and badass as he could. I believe he commented after saying “this is the level Ruby could reach at the end of the show” or something along those lines.

Yeah, this trailer was specifically created for two things: 1) to showcase Crescent Rose 2) as a sale-pitch. This level of mastery is akin to Qrow's, a huntsman so legendary and deadly that Mercury wouldn't face him in a direct fight.

Alex Canas ik

YUP!!

true

OI MI BOI

true

Thats Our Ruby. Loveable and Badass

That's pretty accurate

Lovable and badass , though I love Yang .. she's a total badass And I like Ruby Fangirling over weapons rather than this

The show has fallen to mediocre writing and the fights are just simply not what they were all cuz Monty died it really is a waste cuz this had huge potential.

Robert Simon yup

well monty made this trailer so

She does for the first three seasons then Monty sadly passed away and any semblance of quality in the show went away.

@@oracle9_tann472She fought in a similar style while Monty was animating her but noticeably toned down from this. She doesn't go reaping hordes of monsters like so much wheat in the show. I suspect they didn't start nailing down the details for the first season until after this trailer was made. And even then, the first few episodes have a bunch of characterization that is never followed up on, unless you count RWBY Chibi I guess.

@@SnakebitSTI that's true, I more-so ment the use of the weapon and its weight, but I see your point. My guess is similar to yours, that Monty just animated smth he thought was cool but didn't give my thought too for the larger show, just what he'd have fun animating.

@@oracle9_tann472 RWBY was just slice of life anime before Monty passed on leaving the show with dark undertones. Monty couldn't write a story, but his animation techniques haven't been replicated after a decade of his passing. He was a genius, not in story telling but in fight choreography. 3d animation hasn't even come close to this since then.

5 years amd 3 months today.... damn time goes fast

5 years 4 months now...

Still awesome.

Galaxy Tube *plays the world's smallest violin that Mr.Krabs plays*

This is basically the beginning of the reason why I loved Monty so much

The Half Macaab Gaming The beginning of mine was Dead Fantasy.

Mine was Red Vs. Blue with the whole warthog scene in season 8 along with Haloid.

Austin Bailey sorry for asking but who is Monty?

DimDamDuweeh Monty Oum was the creator of RWBY and animation choreographer for it as well as for Red vs. Blue. He was a massively creative man, to the point that I once pointed out his relationship with his muse must have been like unto the friendship of Nora Valkyrie and Ren (who was voiced by Monty, so I really do suspect this is true). You can find some of his other work by looking up Haloid and the Dead Fantasy series.

And 9+ years of technology. Not to mention 9+ years of the animators learning to walk in high heels - Lol! (Yes, they did practice walking in high heels, because male animators would have no idea how women walk in them)

Yep, looking back on something so absolutely stunningly unique that I HAD to know what it was and consume every second of it in any form or way it existed. And I did till season 5 I think... then I kind of lost track, because they moved it from RU-vid. I still have the steelbook limited edition of S1 till S3 and count them as one of my most cherished collectables. This trailer is absolute pure perfection and I keep revisiting it over and over.

Honestly. 2:01 is just a tiny snippet of what made this trailer so good, but Monty went above and beyond to make every scene so amazing.

god ikr, i keep coming back for the fight scene

I love this trailer and for me, its what could've been if the show had better writers and if Monty was still with us

F

Yeah he did

I wanna see Ruby's gunsmithing talents in action which she also learned from Qrow, as he made his own weapon inspired by the Grim Reaper. One should remember that she made Crescent Rose.

@@samsonguy10k that probably won't happen tho as rooster teeth is just collapsing but at least rwby has been renewed for s8

@@samsonguy10k Grimm Reaper* Grim Reaper is the other guy

The trailer doesn't have writing just fight scenes.

child shush

@@zennuv07 nah you shush rwby turned to dogshit

Ikr

See the original creator and animator Monty died from a allergic reaction

As Monty put it, the Red Trailer was a "weapon portfolio" rather than indicative of the story

wow never thought about either. 😐

Man, you're a genius

oh dude thank you i never thought of that

I love this song

@Mytchel Rose please elaborate on how disliking something that's lost all its identity and charm makes someone a disgrace

@Mytchel Rose Are you sure about that?

@@Hypercat0 yes, really sure

It truely is a shame that this series lost all of its charm after monty passed, it feels lack lustered and unloved by the makers nowadays, monty oum made a masterpiece and unfortunatly things died when he did

I know it's bad to talk trash about someone whos dead and can't talk back but, looking at the way monty was planning to write the story, RWBY was eventually going to lose its charm, Monty would've probably just canceled the show before it became as bad as it is today, he wouldn't have let this happen, but the idea of dropping dust, creating maiden powers, magic that is literally just semblances but with another name, and introducing characters on the fly that didn't fit the story's style and were essentially overpowered extras, that only were there to have more characters fighting at once, making it harder to animate, most of those ideas came from Monty, he didn't even have everything planned up, most people tend to say "uhhh this is the way monty intended, he left notes uhhhghh" not really, he left the ideas of something, like pretending dust never existed or Salem, but he didn't have anything ready either, just a bunch of ideas, yes his passing made things worse since he only left the ideas he was planning on developing poorly 2 or 3 episodes before they were presented into the show, and his 'professional writters' didn't know how to develop it, RWBY was either going to be cancelled or lose its charm, it would take more time than it did without monty here, but it would eventually

Hi Cami!

Holy heck Cami your here Is this where you go for inspiration for fight scenes? Its where I go c:

Omg Old Cami Comment!!!

Teach me how to animate like you Jokeing

Unexpected for you to be here.

+Joseph Williams Just goes to show how talented she really is and how well she's mastered her weapon and fighting style, as well as the use of her Semblance.

Well, she does take a hit, but she blocks it.

LikeABoss6565PG so she blocked a hit?

+Joseph Williams yes, I'll get the time in a second.

+Joseph Williams at 3:35 to 3:37

Im not here after. I came here mid video right before the part where he cal you out for leaving mid video to watch it, to see this trailer for the first time. The choreography and ingenuity is actually v dope and I wish the show wasnt as much of a disappointment as everyone says it is cuz Id love to see more of this

Ayyyyyyyyy

I can definitely recommend you start the show, just not sure if its worth finishing.

I miss the hype I had for this show. I've been probably 100, maybe 200, of this video's views. I was so pumped for RWBY.

Lmfao me

Evil Otto lol!

Don't know why or how, but this comment is genius.

What, you mean when she was actually fast and not just rose petals

+Tedulous She might though, with Mercury (or is it really him?)

+Nicole Mark i was hopping she taught cinder.

Maybe with the events in episode 9 of volume 3 we will get to see Ruby do this again

+Anthony Rodriguez Not with the quality of this animation, not yet anyways.

Her problem is that folded 50 cal run and gun mode doesn't mesh with choreographed swordplay/Kung Fu. It is either super effective (she's super mobile, tumbles around, and can hit hard from a distance... Indiana Jones vs swordsman...) or blasts don't do anything against aura. Scythe melee mode is fine against Grimm (like the wolves or even a nevermore), but it's also in this strange region of being either overpowered (Ruby speed, crazy moment of inertia, unrealistically sharp) or too unwieldy to be workable against people (see fight against monk dude). Ultimate unfolded mode: She's a blender. Throw in some meat, a few eggs, and a cell phone. How long would a fight last? Contrast this with Yang and Blake, who have gotten lots of good fights. Yang has her kickboxing, shotgun gloves, berserker semblance, and tendency to be used as a human projectile for a finishing move (RWBY strategy is to get her as damaged as possible then throw her at the enemy). Blake has her overall team utility, high mobility, and afterimage, which allows her to make teh playz.

Razzrazz90 I agree.

I also agree but I still love the show

@Connor Clack It's still rwby, just not Monty's Rwby. What it is now is nothing like what he would have made

Couldn’t agree more! That’s why I’m back here watching the trailers.

The passion is missing but the show is still going good in my opinion

+MonkeyxMoo35 what? already?

wait, tree years passed just waiting for episode 5 vol 3 ;-;

Blizzic He is too good for you.

+Blizzic you had to let him go.

+Blizzic Thats the most tragic way to lose a friend I must say

+Blizzic It was the right thing to do.

It’s the writing. It’s not the look or feel it’s the writing that’s terrible

@@CelestialsStorm the writing has always been meh to be honest. its the fight scenes that made rwby such a classic. now the fights are terrible compared to the first 3 seasons. the feel like he said is just not there anymore. rip monty

Yes

Everything would be different if Monty hadn't died. He was irreplaceable, a master of his craft in 3d animated fight scenes. He would have taught so many more people, probably even caused a transformation.

OP thinks he knows what he's talking about.

Beautiful words, he was such an awesome and talented guy. Also almost turned Gavin gay apparently.

John Scholl Thanks bud. Just doesn't feel real. Someone as hardworking and down to earth as Monty....you'd never think it possible. Wait seriously?! Never knew he had that effect on people! XD. Then again with Gav, nothing should surprise me! It's great to have those moments to think of at a time like this though. Makes you appreciate the guy a lot more.

beautiful works Derek Collins. He will be truly missed

I discovered RWBY yesterday after reading a random comment on another video that I found intriguing enough to check it out. Yesterday I binged watched the entire thing, by the time I got to the last episode earlier today I learned that the creator had also passed away yesterday. It's so sad and my thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues and his fans. As a brand new fan, I find it kind of eerie and surreal and there are no words that can properly express how tragic this is. RIP Monty.

That was beautiful...

If you listen to Guns fire, the slower one can have this sound. Is the sound of the action being slam to the back, then slam back forward to sent the next round off.

Mindblowing fights was Monty Oums MO :)

It still does...

@@JGeMcL I've seen it a million times It still does

@Memento Despair aha I watched it as soon as it came out, assuming you have watched most if the episodes you will see the fight scenes change

@Aquia LPS it is the best thing ever 👌🏼

@Cian Abroad "Mediocre" is generous.

@@infernorule1434 the operative phrase in their sentence being "at best"

Cian Abroad cap

@Cian Abroad I can only stomach watching season 1 and 2 and the trailers myself.

Yeah that’s why she my favorite character in the series 😍😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹

I fully agree. Where her character has gone makes complete sense but that contrast was one of the things that originally drew me to her character. It was the same for Blake; her seemingly reserved personality seemed so far away from her dynamic whirlwind of damage fighting style. Words cannot express how happy I am that they finally got a rig for Gambol Shroud's Kusarigama mode in the new animating program.

THIS. THIS EXACTLY. I always thought she has this deep dark flare and passion in her somewhere. But Volume 5 did no justice, whatsoever with her! As a former Ruby bias of the show, it's ridiculous how she still hasn't a proper self-improvement arc. It's like Rooster Teeth just jammed her character developpement in one and call it a day. I'm still waiting for THIS Ruby peak, till this day. And no, new costumes and quests won't cut it!

@@anhcharizard I think S8 will be Ruby's self-improvement arc

@@anhcharizard She's been better as of late.

@dfggfd gfdgfd Said the guy so butthurt he's lurking in the comments section of a years-old trailer video to defend the show it eventually became from people criticizing it and insulting everyone who doesn't feel the same way.

@@MHArcadia All i heard of the ''criticizing'' that the people did with this show is them crying about how the show became bad after Volume 3, Answers to Questions that they are not satisfied with, and the List of all the whining that they define as''criticizing'' goes on and on and in my opinion the real butthurt people are the ones that are mad about people not agreeing to their so called''criticizing'' and still want to see the show

Lmao 👁️👄👁️

Yeah same. Will never forget the way he use speed. It's so new and fun.

@Ultimate I’m pretty sure he said he liked this trailer…

real G

Don't compare other animators to their passed colleague. Compare them to themselves. Look for individual improvement!

I wish they still had Dillon Goo. His animation style is insane now and could seriously help the fight scene's but it's still not like Monty.

amazing indeed, a world in which strength is inversely proportional to your heigh and muscle mass It heavily breaks inmersion for me tho

Yep it is the best trailer of rwby

Mark Zhang will rise up to the challenge!

Salem underrated comment considering who it’s from

Yeah they went from we need to hunt them to being thrown in the backseat for Domestic Violence

They're still a joke yes the designs have changed and gotten better but they never were never a true danger mean just look how ruby handles them effortlessly in this.

i prefer this version of the Beowulf to the new one

It is all thanks to you, creator of Grimm

:(

It's... hard to tell. It always has been hard to tell when things took a downturn in RWBY.

@@mekingtiger9095 bro

Oh just wait for V4 ;)

Actually, Brandon has a point even without the "just wait" part. Half of her teammates are unavailable, Weiss and Yang, and Blake is MIA, so Ruby has to fight extremely hard because she is pretty much alone

+Latios XD He says that cause hes seen the V4 trailer. So have I.

+lexon7416 wait there's a v4 trailer?!

+Latios XD they showed it at RTX

How did I not realise that sooner!?

@@threefrogsinatrenchcoat7259 Someone else commented the exact same thing ! I just thought it was kinda funny

Also the 95th Anniversary of the Battle of Moscow in 1941 and the 99th Anniversary of the Red Revolution in Russia in 1917.

4 years and still looking good. it does miss a big thing tho. "cries in the inside"

the red trailer was published on the 95th anniversary of the October Revolution, if you don't know about the October Revolution, it saw the Russian Provisional Government overthrown by Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin.

I didn't even realize...

not to mention this video was uploaded before the 2012 US Presidential Elections, before Black Ops II came out and at the same time as Halo 4 coming out!

illumanati OGD A simpler time. Before we wished to strangle Kerry for every World of Remnant we enjoyed anyway.

Nealon Miller very true..

Yes but he was around until what, season 3-4? He wanted this to be his attempt at more than a good fight scene, and an actual story. Which up until his pasing I would argue was great

@@deaxiom3542Actually he died at the start of Vol3 production. They still had his apprentice Shane Newville at the time so fights were almost as good in V3, but then they lost him too. Honestly I know how mean this sounds, but continuing RWBY was probably a mistake. It’s like finding you only have half the sauce you need to make a pizza, but rather than make a smaller pizza they just decided to continue without sauce at all. Without Monty’s style and choreography and love of stupid weapons and martial arts all we’re left with is a really standard end of the world plot and four main characters who are so completely unexceptional that the writers themselves have admitted to wishing they hadn’t named the show after them.

WHO IS MONTY !?

Joe the Kirby the maker of this show he died over a year ago i think :'(

+Dodger101 he actually died this February :'(

improved and unique because Monty's style is a rare find. That's why I don't mind the animation's level of mastery dropping in terms of the fights in the volumes since his death because it's hard to be at the same level as someone like Monty who was always looking to improve and working

GlacialRuin actually there is an animator (who quit) who's style was almost exactly like Monty's

GlacialRuin He has a RU-vid channel Dilongoo I think?

It would be near enough the same. He had notes on everything for a large number if potential volumes. Miles and Kerry follow the notes as best as they can when writing

Agreed. Monty is a genius in his own right, but I still highly respect team CRWBY for their efforts. The idea is, is that Monty was a genius in a small classroom. There isn't many that can imitate him, so they have to make do with their own knowledge and experience.

To see how his baby die without normal action scenes and holistic plot. Hi from future
