I'm kind of relieved to see that it's not actually just going to be a rant video like the Fallout 3 and Sherlock videos were. Those videos were amazing but the reason they were so good was that I always understood what hbomb was saying and why he thought it was important. RWBY does not have the same potential there. Like, it's not great, but it's largely innocuous. Just ragging on it for three hours would not seem justified to me. Arist fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Jun 14, 2020 |

Roasting RWBY would make more sense if it came out during like season5 which was some of the worst poo poo I've ever seen in my life but 6 and what I've seen of 7 has been like, actually good so it'd be really weird to me if that was his conclusion.

Max Wilco posted:I feel like a lot of the disdain or mockery for a lot of the punk/goth/emo/nu-metal stuff around that time was more over how over-exaggerated it came across as. I dunno about MCR specifically, but I think songs like Linkin Park's "Crawling" or Simple Plan's "How Could This Happen to Me" still get used as punchlines for mocking super-edgy, mopey characters in fiction. MCR never really had like any banner emo-y songs the way Crawling became synonymous with emo teens. During that period Gerard Way was putting out bangers about being sad his grandma died: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCCyoocDxBA Those teens really liked MCR's aesthetics though, like Black Parade's gothy steampunk visuals are exactly what the kids who grew up obsessively watching Nightmare Before Christmas would loving love, and even then their music had a lot of uplifting anthems and poo poo versus directionless suburban teen angst: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bbTtPL1jRs So... normally I wait to catch up on RWBY until the seasons are uploaded to youtube and The Algorithm reminds me it exists, but after seeing hbomberguy had over 3 hours of things to say about RWBY I was wondering if anything extra wild happened in season 7 that'd instigate this and well.... In addition to having some more Opinions on appropriate ways to protest and riot against a lovely system, which whatever not outside what it was doing before.... in the Year of the Lord 2019, RWBY decided it had some Takes to share on the 2016 US Presidential Election.

Joel and Burnie were co-founders if the company and I think Matt was the third guy. Joel was let go a few weeks back for reasons probably related to pandemic cuts and his lovely personal tweets. I know Geoff and Jack are still there since they did a Halo Reach achievement Hunter special when the Master Chief Collection hit PC, and I think Gus is still there being a shill on their podcasts.

Gerard looks like a demon in this from the way it's lit. Also, as much as I love Welcome to the black Parade, the video doesn't really hold up. There are just so many quick cuts that you cant get a good look at anything in it. Also, Simple Plan's Untitled is a joke song.

Well for starters Excel Saga made a reference to the Tokyo subway sarin gas attack, but this was censored with bleeps in the Japanese broadcast while the English dub was not, meaning the reference was only provided to foreign viewers without context.

Also, Qrow's subplot, his first major storyline after his VA got replaced for being a rapist, is such a mesmerising disaster that it genuinely would have been an improvement to just kill him off instead.

I will never not love AFI, even their sellout album(s). Dominic Noble is having people read EL James' The Mister to him for charity and god this book is soooooooooo bad. Like worse than 50 Shades bad, at least 50 Shades had people doing things (bad things, but things nevertheless) and not internally monologuing for 10 pages at a time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GImEju071U

TV Guide capsule summary: This season on RWBY: Ruby yells "We got her!" and the election is made null and the right people put in charge. Jump cut to Yang and Blake's wedding. They have said two words to each other this whole season. Weiss complains that it's hard to be a military industrial complex profiteer. Also the robot girl does something cute!

RWBY is one of those things that makes me kind of mad because it's not good, it's really not good. But it's also insanely popular because the people who made it had a massive inbuilt platform and fandom thanks to a thing that was already popular and a near monopoly on that kind of content at the time; so it spread like wildfire despite every aspect of it being borderline unwatchable garbage. It's basically like a more anime version of Zybourne Clock, except serious and real. Just a distilled and supremely generic pile of everything that seems "anime" ripped wholesale from other series. Basically its success, while other really well thought out and designed creations fail, is proof that there is no god. Nuebot fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Jun 14, 2020 |

The biggest example of the "Lore is bad for rwby" is the backstory, I am gonna spoil it because someone might care Back in ancient times There was a couple, and one of them died. The Widow went to the god of life (who is real and exists in the world) and asked him to fix this, he said no. She went to the god of death, lied a little and got her husband back. God Of life shows up, curses them both forever. She raises an army to fight these godsfor being assholes they kill everyone, curse her more? and tell the now alive Guy "If we come back and the world isn't at peace we destroy everything". Also they make it so he's immortal by posessing people when he dies and slowly absorbing their conciousness. he is the good guy? The above is dumb, the above is dumb in a way that by trying to explain it, it raises a bunch or moral questions I don't really think fit "Cute girls punch bad guys" RWBY also has a bunch of problems with until recently how it sold it's LGBT bonafides which didn't exist. Also on a pedantic note, I feel the fight quality has gotten worse. Specifically something v noticable is they tend to have either the body moving (as in the person is running or whatever) or doing complicated stuff with the uper torso (like sword swinging) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZAS_rzgCE0&t=102s This is from a few season ago it still is really jarring for me, especially when she does the 3 stabs and the spin.
