She hasn't been in management there for three years. She is still the VA for Glynda Goodwitch. That is a very important distinction you aren't making.

He does acknowledge in the letter that RT is a business, so he's not surprised at how things happened. He's offended that RT, in his eyes, disrespected his best friend, his best friend's wife, and his best friend's legacy.

Whether or not this is the actually the case is up to interpretation.

I mean, yeah, it feels like kind of a dickish thing to say, but even though the show was Monty's pride and joy... A lot of stuff from the latter half of S1 and most of S2 was really, really bad. And while they're probably still going to work with the general plot beats he'd drafted up before he kicked the bucket, it's only fair that they get to change less important things up in order to make them more interesting.

She also formally left the company under not-so-great circumstances, so she's not exactly coming from an unbiased position.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

She also threw a fit on Twitter a few years ago because she decided Rooster Teeth wasn't promoting her personal charity work enough and declared she wouldn't be attending RTX anymore.

If it gets to "Silly poo poo that makes light fun of the source material" (like the shorts on DC Nation) on a consistent basis and cleans up the models to not look like the mutant offspring of a Pop Vinyl and a Nendroid I'll be happy.

From the side the detail looks fine, in an almost Doramon sort of way, but from the front it's weird having the tiny nose, like Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer.

Weird. I mean, what does Barbara even do to be a good or bad "role model?" Hell, when does the PR lead of a media company need to be a "role model" for their customers?

Never considered Roosterteeth an e-drama source so this is weird for me. Not that I think bad poo poo don't happen there, but that I usually don't hear about it.

I think the one advantage of RT going all corporate is that it makes any e drama less likely to end friendships from the people we follow. :unsmith:

It was over her making obscene gestures in one video (read: involving a word that rhymes with "horatio"), and Kathleen went on social media talking about how female role models needed a better standard of behavior. It led to a thing.

She ends up talking about sex a lot on the podcasts, and even if her title is PR lead in this modern age she's in front of the camera she's also a 'content provider'

Considering the majority of RT's output, I don't think Kathleen has any right to expect things like that.

I mean she herself is known for playing a character who kicked a guy in the dick for hours on end.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
The charm of this show was how awful everything outside the fight scenes were. Those bits getting better just moved it from hilariously bad to normal bad.

Synchronise? What do you mean?
Anyway, first episode was pretty good, particularly the fight scene which is ultimately what RWBY is all about, I kind of wish they had done a longer episode and shown what the rest of team RWBY were up to though maybe that's what the first four episodes will cover.
Also, if it's even still possible with the software change, I really would love to see something like the fight against the Nevermore and Death Stalker from volume one or the food fight from volume 2 redone in each volume's art style to really see the progression.

This is a weird first reaction to the new series but holy poo poo did that tilled field look awful. The ground looked like the sort of out of place stock asset you get in a ten minute "my first 3d game" project.

Other than that very specific complaint, it wasn't as bad as I was afraid it was going to be.

That entire sequence had some glaring issues, mostly with the basic concept of "If you introduce a new character, tell us why we should give a poo poo about him".

Agreed. How the gently caress are you supposed to be able to tell why and how he's linked to that opening sequence, especially since he's probably not going to come up again for at least a few episodes if they're going to do an episode on what each of the main four have been up to? Hell, we don't even know if he's going to be showing up again at all, or if it was just some random villager for a "look what we can do with our new program!" scene.
