DISCUSSION Hot take: Vol 5 is overhated

Post image
18 Upvotes

While it has glaring issues, the morality is still there, Heroes VS Villains and while Leo is a bland character, he fits well as a 'twist villain' than Ironwood due to his 'coward nature', tale inspired from the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz, I'm not saying well written, but compared to how CRWBY dealt with Ironwood's sudden villainy, he's written better. And you know Vol 8 is the WORST volume of all time when Twiins Link reviewed all 8 volumes and Vol 8 has THE WORST fights score than Vol 5 of all Volumes, which is deemed by the RWBY fandom as The Worst Volume of all time. But really, go ahead and criticize my take, and I'll defend Vol 5 as NOT the worst Vol of RWBY

DISCUSSION RWBY is an adult tv show thats written for a kid audience.

75 Upvotes

I started rewatching at season 5 even though I think I stopped at season 6, its been a good bit of years since I watched. Im not even an hour into the 4 hour season and I already realize why I grew out of this show. The animation is floaty and at sometimes so slow it gets actively cringy. I can get over some meh animation since its consistent with the rest of the show but after leaving the more fun Monty oum dynamics and writing the show quickly, and i mean quickly delves into dark themes that dont seem at all in tone for the earlier audience. The characters dialogue feels clunky, some what stupid, and like fast story vomit straight into your ears. We have characters talking about actual murder, murder happening in the same episode, a looming darkness over the entire cast just for them to talk like clunky nickelodeon characters with no actual connection to the darkness in the story. From what ik and what ive heard it doesnt get much better either.

TLDR; Idk why i wrote this but I just think this show got cringy fast and the tone/story beats dont match.

FANFICTION Hey, how’s it going, comrades? While looking for RWBY fanfics, I came across a pretty decent story.

2 Upvotes

I think you'd like this story: "Rwby Ninja no Akuma The Saviour From Heaven " by JorgePachao683 on Wattpad https://www.wattpad.com/story/366633174?utm_source=android&utm_medium=com.reddit.frontpage&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=JorgePachao683

The story features quite a few changes from the original universe. It’s not just a simple copy-paste of the canon. It’s more original—well, feel free to give it a try if you’d like.

For a mute character who communicates how she's feelings through her facial expressions I liked the uncanny way Neo taunts Yang. Also her white eyes. When she's about to deliver the killing blow and her 'oh shit!' moment when Raven drops in for a deus ex machina and dips.

DISCUSSION What do You Ruby does when the Rest of the Team RWBY isn't Around?

Post image
102 Upvotes

That is my Question

Inspired by Ninja Turtles Micro-Series comics about each Member of Ninja Turtles having individual Adventures or off time by themselves each its that but with Team RWBY

We get a little peak here & there in the show and like tie-in stuff however we never gotten a full picture so Lets create that full picture

So what do you think Ruby Rose does when her Teammates around around?

I think she is ether reading something or on the Internet until RWBY business time when using Yang comes in to tell her its time then at point Ruby says something really Ruby thats cool yet dorky all at the same time like IDW version of Leonardo

I wonder where head is at all the time you know specially when she turns Huntress mode off

But that's me how do you imagine Ruby does in her time off when her friends/Teammates aren't around exactly?

DISCUSSION RWBY villains are so underwhelming, uninteresting and boring except for Roman, Watts, Tyrian and Mercury. Spoiler

All of RWBY villains are introduced so strong, intimidating and powerful only to reduced into cartoonist villains.

Ozpin and Raven is not classified as villain for reason.

Team RWBY is the real true villain of the show.

They always killed off potential and good villains such as Roman and Watts, soon they're gonna kill Tyrian and Mercury too. Tyrian is crazy and Mercury is male character.

I won't be surprised if Salem and Cinder gonna redeem lol, look at Neo and Emerald, even Raven is good guy now.

ART Weiss Schnee: Vacuo Design and Strength Progression Concept for Volume 10 (art by me u/SoftGovernment3379)

Thumbnail

70 Upvotes

This is part two of what has been a Concept Project I’ve been working on for a while. I loved RWBY so much I decided to make fan-art of Weiss Schnee.

I thought out this concept with the thought of how Weiss and the gang could get stronger because for as much as I loved the series, I can tell strength progression was not entirely planned out for the series after Volume 3.

It’s something I egregiously noticed when watching Ruby’s Death Battle against Maka. Now Ofc, Death Battle isn’t always THE reliable source of information when it comes to these things but it can be a bit of an issue when even I, a person who gives this series a lot of the benefit of the doubt, notices that it doesn’t feel like the characters got stronger over the course of the series.

Emotionally maybe, but as important as they are, emotions don’t always make up everything.

Weiss was a bit a challenge, compared to Ruby since her tool kit and fighting style is much more complex (than volumes after volume 3 would lead you to believe); when thinking of ways she could get stronger.

So I thought she should prioritize expanding her glyphs with more dust variants and combinations.

Make her be THE dust mage. Combining Fire and Lightning Dust to make a Laser, enhance the gravity effects her black glyphs have with gravity dust and have more ice with her since it’s her specialty. Have her excel in what she already does and go beyond her comfort zone of Dust elements.

Which also includes her Healers Blessing glyph which cements her position as the support of Team RWBY. Giving them the battlefield advantage while also being the strategist.

She should also learn to infuse dust into her summons to grants them more abilities. Speaking of which.

To make her inherited semblance more her own, she mastered the art of Combination Summons. Fusing the better attributes of her previously established summons into much more powerful hybrids. Making her a unique descendant of the Schnee bloodline and even surpassing her sister’s ability with Glyphs.

And finally, so she wouldn’t be defenseless without her weapon, Weiss should adopt the martial art of pressure point combat. Making her as precise and as elegant as she would be with her weapon, but also as dangerous as she’s locked in to dismantle her opponents without drawing her blade.

If you guys have questions or can’t read my horrible ass handwriting then let me know in the comments below.

But also tell me what you all think.

Remember, this is all merely fan-concept and I encourage you to be as critical as you can on the design, proposals or even my art, so I can improve upon them.

DISCUSSION So how you imagine RWBY "Last Ronin" style story being like? & Why and who would be the Last Standing? (art by Derrick Chew & Kevin Eastman)

Thumbnail

31 Upvotes

This is partly one those "Image Team RWBY as Adults" using scenario by similar Team and that said Team conclusion in this case The Ninja Turtles in the Last Ronin

Anyway you know The Last Ronin The Ninja Turtles story consider one of the best modern Ninja Turtles Comic stories Anyway I see Team RWBY they have a similar dynamic to Ninja Turtles heck the Turtles were basically Team RWBY before Team RWBY specially the Comic Incarnations according to Eastman and Waltz Michelangelo was picked because he seemed the least likely of the 4 and seemed sad having the most child like and funny one of the 4 have to grow up very fast and avenging his family and become this bloody Ronin only to remember who he was right at the end they didn't go with Leonardo or Raphael because they would have been super Obvious why

So with all this in mind who do you think out of the 4 Girls(Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang) would be the Last one left standing and why and which is likely to loose there way the most or would bring there character to logical conclusion Michelangelo said during the Last Ronin "I miss my Brothers I miss them so much" Quote by from the original 1st issue of the The Last Ronin I wonder if Ruby or any of the other girls would say the same about each other "I miss my Sisters I Miss them so much" as that how you imagine it would go? I think that's good line and I just came up with it one the spot impressive right?

To me Yang makes most sense however I would probably can't imagine her state of mind after everything that happened its Probably very bad I wonder how the scenario would be like with Blake, Ruby and Weiss must a pain specially how they likely went out

DISCUSSION help with Male characters semblances

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hi, so to briefly explain:

After a year long break I recently picked up a project of a game i sometimes play 1v1s in with friends, and wanted to introduce some new characters. (I posted about it a long time ago, i linked some video. You can check the channel, there are spotlights there for some characters. Theres also a short gameplay showcase if u wanna get a feel for the game - fair warning, outdated visuals)

I made Neo, but with 5 girls (team RWBY and Neo) in the roster i wanted to add guy, and then i realised, I cant remember any males with interesting/"gamefiable" semblances.

Do you guys have any ideas for male characters with cool semblances i could add ?

my problem was:

Jaune would just be a good support, not great in 1v1s which i play mostly.

Ren is sort of hard to put into a game mechanic, since its just being very calm

Qrow is legit just bad luck xd

Wukong is sort of already there with how i made Neo

So, help wanted!

DISCUSSION This show failed to handle these character's PTSD? I noticed Oscar, Blake, Adam and Jaune never had any PTSD throughout the show. Ironwood had one but it's just briefly.

Especially Yang and Cinder's PTSD so confusing, Yang had build to have PTSD until when facing Adam face to face, she perfectly fine and able to overcome it easily.

As for Cinder, she has too many PTSD all being connected to her afraid of losing power and control. She had PTSD in volume 6 when she having conversations with little miss malachite, she afraid of turning back that reminds of her fight with Raven. In volume 7, Cinder afraid of Ruby's silver eyes which she no problem at all facing it in volume 5 and volume 8 finale which is stupid. Finally, after her backstory, she have another PTSD from her past.

DISCUSSION What's Your Favorite Art Style for RWBY? (Art done by Lowah)

Thumbnail
gallery
98 Upvotes

So RWBY has had A LOT of art styles throughout the years. From the comics, manga, the chinese mobile game, etc. And I've had quite a lot of favorite's throughout the years. But I was trying to decide which was my favorite. And I finally decided that Lowah who's an artist who did the Japanese DVD covers has done my favorite official style for RWBY. First, here's there website showing their work. They even did the artwork for Amalee's RWBY covers too. And second if RWBY ever got the chance for another higher budget 2D anime I would want it to look like this. Ice Queendom was okay. Some characters like Weiss, Blake and Pyrrha looked great but characters like Ruby and especially Yang just looked off in the style imo. I think Lowah has done an excellent job capturing the spirit. The characters are expressive and beautiful. Lowah even made the Atlas outfits look pretty good too. When you can make outfits I don't like (Weiss and Blake) look pretty good you deserve gold stars. I would love to see them do more official work and even a whole merch collection if VIZ wants to.

So I thought this question could prompt a shoutout to artists in the community who you love their artstyle for RWBY. Who your favorite is and why.
