Why RWBY Volume 9 Went Fairy Tale 

Yes for sure dude. It’s always been confirmed wayyy before 8/9 came tho lol, You should be excited to know I believe they’ve confirmed a greenlight it for up to Volumes 12, iirc at least. Rwby makes too much money for them, not gonna go away so quick unless something happens haha. Search up an article for it & it should tell ya some of the info I got! Tons of future content coming our way. There’s even a _Rwby x Justice League_ movie coming out April 25th! Excited af for that…

No it hasn't. People just make up shit and pretend it always was the case lmao

@@insidious7329 Imagine saying something so incorrect with so much confidence. If you want to hear this kind of stuff for yourself, just go buy the blu-rays and listen to the commentary tracks. You can hear Miles, Kerry, and Monty talk about hints to all kinds of things they planned ahead on all throughout the Volumes. Salem's origin and the dark history of Remnant is hinted at by them back in the Volume 1 commentary, Pyrrha's death is practically confirmed in the Volume 1 commentary, Maria is hinted at in the Volume 2 and Volume 5 commentaries, The Apathy is hinted at in the Volume 4 commentary, and much, much more. They are also very, very open and honest about the things that they did change their mind on or that they did come up with on the fly, because that is simply apart of the writing process. Writing is an iterative process and every writer worth their salt will tell you that good writing doesn't begin happening until the rewrite. So having said all this, I hope it's obvious to you that there would be absolutely zero reason for them to pretend that they had been thinking about "doing an Alice in Wonderland thing" for a while now. Hell, Miles and Kerry flat out stated for everyone on the Volume 3 commentary that the Maidens (which are now one of the most fundamental components of the show) were something that Monty just came up with between Volumes 2 and 3, and that adding them in of course required them to rewrite a lot of Remnant's backstory and modify a lot of their future plans for the series. If they were willing to admit that on the commentary, why do think they would feel the need to lie about this fairytale world? Does that logic track for you?

​@@hdns4i ordered the blu ray :D i can't wait for it to come bc I'm dying to see the behind the scenes Xd

@@muzzaXD The blu-rays are fantastic if you're at all into any part of the creative process. Both the Behind the Scenes features and the Director's Commentary tracks have them going super in-depth to their whole process.

Then screw you I hate Disney

That's a lot of hands wow 😅

The biggest thing that stuck out to me was when they originally said between V1 and 2 go to this place between the fall of atlas and what comes next, and i thought they were meaning the end of volume three. when they then said and we got to the end of v8 with the fall of atlas, i realised i had been thinking of the fall of beacon and that the general story had been decided so long ago.

Monty himself told people who insulted his friends to stop watching the show.

Though i can believe the main plot points were planned, everything in between and smaller plot points has been really rough. I want them to keep trying and improve too but rwby feels more and more detached from being a passion project sometimes.

Not to mention it's a very disrespectful thing to insinuate about a dead they never met. It's not good to use his name to justify their opinions, especially when it drags his family's grief into it. Their opinions should stand on their own. Regardless if you like or don't like the direction the show is taking now, that's fine. Just leave the dead man out of it.

Plans change as time goes on, like how they were supposed to group volumes into seasons and they didn't do that. It was only natural that the plans were always going to change without Monty's input when he passed away. Not to mention that we don't actually know how much was actually planned, we can only speculate at best and frankly you're a hypocrite for acting like you know all this better than they do while complaining about people thinking they know Monty's original plans better than they do.

Theyre a bit more based on steampunk, video game stories, and such

@@HeidiCharlesLeon I’m pretty sure Fox and Yatsuhashi are based on food and Coco is based a real person actually

Velvet: 😎

But it is....just because they used a different term like "breather volume" it is still a filler cos this volume is not really contributing to the main story as in how to defeat the big villian aka salem.

@@MrDJFlyHi. The “terms” they used that you’re whining ab isnt even the point. Its the content within that OP is referring to. Simple words Crwby said doesnt make or not make something filler, so weird point to make Character-focus chapters also doesn’t automatically make the volume filler, if it’s adding to the story as a whole. Salem isnt the *whole* story, just bc she’s the main antag. It’s always been ab 4 teen huntresses on Remnant, it’s in different synopsis about the show even. They obviously have to “level up” _to_ fight her in the first place. They have character flaws to get through, as well as the bettering themselves physically via upgrading gear & semblance evolution, to actually fight her.. It’d be a pretty lame & bland story if it was as cut & dry as that. The story would just be 2 volumes…Train, blah blah, fight Salem, the end. Don’t know why you would want that but alrighty. eh we all want different things, nothing wrong with that. Have a nice day

I'm going to miss my queen salem this volume, I need an appearance from her.

@@MrDJFlyHi That isn't actually the definition of filler. Filler is literally material not in the original source. In other words, filler is stuff staff writers make up to let the manga or book series catch up. RWBY has zero filler. Character development is not filler. It's progression of the individual plot lines that make up the main story and feed the build up to the finale.

​@@Tw0Dots this show has always had a strict narrative. The least focused its been has been seasons 1 and 2 and that was because we simply thought cinder was the main villain. If this breather season is for more personal character moments in a show that mainly followed these characters they're doing a bad job

Unlike a lot of other things, particularly in animation, RWBY is a money machine when it comes to merchandising so I'm pretty sure it's going to be fine.

Yeah they will surely answer your question and spoil the whole season lmao

Yeah, but no spoilers.

It is a good thing, but we shouldn't have needed to go to the Everafter to do it. I really don't see what point the Everafter even plays. Just send them all to Vacuo and do the character development there. Granted it's development that should've been done a long time ago.

It'll come to RT in february 2024. It'll stay exlusively on CR for one year.

The first episode came out Saturday.

Nah, there ain't hope. That ship was DOA to begin with.

True, but I'll stand with you on that

@@fortitudo-9552 maybe, but at least you could actually see the build up

@@fortitudo-9552Really wasnt. Just was changed because you people love to see girlxgirl stuff. So much that it ruined two of the four title characters lmao.

@@thespy6707 hun... its been there from the start... yang and blake have always interacted in a semi attached way, even how yang is written as a mirror of last love interest adam, their powers, their personalities, the only thing thats different is that yang doesnt abuse her. The first words yang said to blake were complimentary, at least as far as i remember i think they first spoke at the sleepover thingy. Then at the team building ceremony, a blake rushes past yang in a blur right before the ursa attack, she was following her, which, very much broke the rules of the ceremony, and she was following cause she wanted to know for sure what yang was like, and then she springs in after. tho... the bumblebee fandom is... very intense, tho i think some of that comes from just, a bunch of people being dismissive of them, like, when you talk over someone, they tend to shout in response, and, coulda felt pretty personal, as the denial of a canon thing, could feel a lot like, people trying to deny gayness exists, cause, here it is, and its being seen as "fake" or only there cause its being pushed by a community... but like, there is no reason for a company to change their plans for a vocal minority. EA wont even change for its entire consumer base, Could the relationship have been written better, for sure, i think they even stated that themselves, and i wish it was too, but, that doesnt mean that no signs existed, just that those signs were a bit harder to read unless you understand the feeling personally. big ramble but yeah,

Only the first 3rd, and besides, would you want clips from later episodes spoiled?

That's good. That means more of the stuff in later episodes will be a surprise

@@AZDfox hm good point

Yeah nothing really happened this episode, it was just a really weak premier of stuff that probably could've just been skipped

@@insidious7329 you mean the episode that completely established all of the context of the season and set up what's going to happen. You think they should have skipped that?

I think 12 volumes was the original plan, and hopefully, it will happen that way. We still have Vacuo, and at some point, we have to get back to Vale, since the Beacon relic is still hidden. (Also I assume there will be a part, where we find out what happened to Summer Rose), we still have one maiden to find and at the end the final battle between the good and bad (there are theories, that the Gods will be back and maybe RWBY and the others have to fight them) So plenty more for 3 more volumes.

He literally just said this was the plan since volume 2, so they're not dragging it out.

@@Fuzunga Yeah? And we know now that it was shelved. What’s your point?

@@Fuzunga im, not sure how much i believe this "interview" cause like, 7 or so years ago the story was they had only planned up til 4, so, idk why they would lie about it back then

Furthermore, it can't be a filler volume bc RWBY is an original series

Yes. Yes I did.

@@billduncan5662 So... What? You only care about the big fights? Character development is vital to a show also. It's kind of hard to do that in the middle of a fight.

@@Aiekhoa Not the only meaning of the word nor the original one. Do you say shipping crates can't have filler because they aren't based on anything?

It’s the ‘Breather volume’ and ‘Step away from the main plot’ type talk that gets people thinking that. I mean.:if you hear a story is diverging from its main plot, there’s only so many conclusions you can draw and it typically is just labeled as filler

I hope people stop with the stupid "Miles and Kerry ruined Monty's vision" thing at this point. Since the beginning they've said there were 12 seasons worth of material, and it's clear from this that the broad strokes have been planned out the whole time.

Probably the end of the year, when the volume finishes

All right I guess I'll have to keep an eye out on the Microsoft store my Xbox to buy it thank you for answering my question

It’ll likely be more than a year before you can purchase the volume. RoosterTeeth confirmed that there is a year long exclusivity contract with Crunchyroll, making it the only place you can watch the show until February 18th 2024 at the earliest, then it’s going to air on their website for First members, and then finally it will eventually be out for purchase. Probably 15+ months till we can buy or rent it anywhere

Definitely need to bring back camp camp. It was a breath of fresh air to do something not serious. That where rt shines is not making things serious.

Unfortunately those projects were canceled and the creators left

Camp camp might have a chance since miles still lends a hand at times. Nomad is dead for sure and i still havent forgiven RT for it.

@@stickthelanding4785 That is a shame 😔

@@stickthelanding4785 Camp Camp's creator is still at Rooster Teeth full time, and its co-creator still works for Rooster Teeth part time

Please no.

Dear god, no. Thatd be horrible.

Nope those two are better separate not together

How exactly?

I Would love to see a crossover.

I think it never was. If anything , Ever After is a weird mix of Fairytale and the more old-school Fae Realm. "Casting away your name" comes from the idea of magical beings and everyone else having a "True Name" , so casting and replacing it , would be akin to the Fae or Fairy Changelling , which is when a Human trades themselves with a Fae.

Whoever thought it was?.

@@thespy6707 I did. With a name like "Ever After", it sounded pretty afterlife-y to me.

@@zachbrancato1970 They never said that in-universe?. If you watched the show solely you wouldn’t have believed that lmao.

They made a deal with Crunchyroll

@@BdelaCAS to do what? Just out right give it all?

@@mcplegger5001 basically distribute it. So it no longer appears on their site and not for first members either. It sucks but logistically it makes sense. Crunchy licenses it and pays for it. RT doesn’t have to worry about people making dummy accounts for free trials which mess with their reporting. And they can focus on delivery more rather than dealing with server/ hosting costs on their side. It’s. Win for them. And ideally for the audience. Though after ep one, all the pluses they get for switching to crunchyroll are kind of not taken advantage of. Hope the rest of the season does better.

@@BdelaCAS well I ain't watching it then

Cruncyroll gets one year of exclusivity

Lmao KH did not create that concept so they’re not really doing a “version” of anything 😂 just a story device

It's only 10 episodes. It was confirmed in an official RT blog post.

Speaking of red vs. Blue, I wish rooster teeth could do rwby recapping done by the reds and blues with Simmons as the main host and Co hosting with him would alternate each episode between Grif and Tucker.

Red vs Blue had its glory days. Many people had hoped it would end before they ruined it. They tried to revive it with Zero but honestly I think they should add more writers that grew up with the characters

red vs blue is so bad lol

@gamer beast well at least rvb zero is bad. The og red vs blue is good.

Of course they will. They'll do anything for those sweet sweet clicks.
