What I’m gathering is there’s a demographic of perpetual 13 year olds who are salivating for a Super Mario Bros Z revival.

Part 11 was released ~2 years ago and he's still working on the next one. I think the next part could be the last but that's what I thought about part 10 and then at the end of that one the evil zombie clown chaos god absorbed everyone.

RWBY always felt like its own fanfiction, which is why I never got the appeal. Cartoons need directors, writers, animators, and producers to function, but never nerds.

It does get especially bad as later seasons go on, with plots becoming increasingly incoherent. Also of note is the dialogue is super bad. I don't even want to crap on the voice actors too much but almost all of the main cast were amateurs and it shows*, like they decided Ruby was going to be this have this really high-pitched attempt at cute voice so now she's got to deliver some really bad lines in what feels like a couple of octaves above her actress' normal range. *Aside from some Funimation regulars and also Vic Mignogna who is nobody's regular now ha ha.

Nerds can actually be very useful to creative endeavors, you just need all those other jobs around to say no sometimes or smack some sense into them when they totally derail into stupidity.

Like what Hbomb said in his RWBY vid, there's alot you can learn from RWBY. Like RWBY is what happens when you get people who are *just* nerds who think anime is cool, but have no idea *why* anime is cool or why it works, to make a show. I, like alot of fuckin weebs, have this pipe dream of making my own anime someday, and it turning out to be some embarrassing RWBY-esqe disaster is my greatest fear lol Also, I'm looking forward to part 2 of Hbombs RWBY vid, whenever that'll be.

KingKalamari posted:I think there's probably also a similar sort of psychology at play as what you see from hardcore audiophiles: Beyond a certain point the improvements in quality stop making any sort of appreciable difference and it becomes more a matter of the quality improvements being a "project" for someone to keep themselves busy with. Monty's Animations are just very well scripted anime fight scenes with 10 million punches everyone shrugs off. You've got an answer to your own dilemma there when you say it's of a very specific period and also doesn't click with you. Like, I'm not terribly attached to any of it either, but that was the hook leading into RWBY. Watching some over-the-top anime fights that manage to look good even when everything else in the writing, production, and voice acting was breathtakingly amateur.

The character designs themselves.... I guess it depends on how much you like the "What if we took these characters from stories.... and made them anime!!!" ethos that also drives Fate/stay night.

I wonder if them being broad stereotypes helps the hardcore fans who get into shipping because then it's easier to spin a relationship out of a two second glance (which honestly is all Blake and Yang had for a while).* *"I'm not protecting her-" "-and I'm not protecting her-" "-we're protecting each other!" is some top tier hilarious bad dialogue.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3vYbF3_TAk Simplest explanation for RWBY before you get into the child groomers at Rooster Teeth and the weebs writing self insert OCs to gently caress their waifus. Make sure you do your homework and watch a bunch of Cowboy Bebop so you know why the corgi in RWBY is called Zwei its a deep cut you might not get it otherwise.

I've literally never seen a rwby OC and only heard of fans really disliking RT waffling around doing anything with the characters or having them actually hang out, so uh e: also really weird to put "making fanart" in the same breath as sexual abuse

lunar detritus posted:RWBY has its problems but the hatedom around it is really weird considering the show is inoffensively mediocre. Jts the anger that the mediocrity of RWBY is rewarded with being a smash hit web series thanks to the clput RT built up thanks to Red Vs Blue and the anger of several people mad that their own lovely ideas didn't get backing and worldwide acclaim and cameos in fighting games and official manga releases. The age old cry of the piased off weeb that someone else succeeded while their obvious genius and superiority is ignored.

I don't know how often it gets used outside of RP communities, since the mainstream draw of RWBY has just been shipping Blake and Yang together.

I think it's funny that despite being on the same team together Ruby and Blake have said like a half dozen words to each other over the seasons.

Doesn't really matter if they don't interact before, that's the appeal. You can fill in the blanks with whatever you want to be there.

Oh, since Lindsay came out with that Love Never Dies video I thought I'd mention Dominic Noble did a three part series on Phantom and its various permutations a year or two back that I remember being worth the watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbR4fJ_e_vw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmT6ikcffOo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRKgGw0Yf7w I almost wasn't going to bring them up since I assumed it's old news but then I realized, dude's only got like 300k subscribers compared to Lindsay's near 2 million so  there's a chance people reading this thread missed out on those

Obviously that's not as bad as sexual abuse, but it definitely feels skeevier than just fans drawing pictures.

(Apologies if I missed this already being posted) Tom Nicholas did a really good critique of Veritasium’s terrible video that is just straight up Waymo propaganda, and touches on the bigger issue of all the YouTube science educators who gladly just become mouthpieces for other interests. https://youtu.be/CM0aohBfUTc I was a bit bummed out that he didn’t also call out the fact that Waymo’s serious accident rate is not actually better than human drivers.
