Because that didn't happen. They did have a token lesbian in Season 6 called Saffron, though. Delphisage fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Aug 19, 2022 |

Depends on how you want to do a mock thread. Do you want to target the company or the people who work in it? Because it's real easy to do them both; they make podcasts highlighting their bad decisions. Michael Jones, like all lactose white men, cannot keep himself away from cheese, for example.

I'd prefer a RWBY retrospective/analysis a la Shrieking Shack. Similar to Harry Potter, it had a huge fandom of young people who by now are old enough to reexamine it with a critical eye.

Noodle made a vid about how TV screens over the past few decades have impacted how the stuff you watch on them (usually movies) look worse at home than they do in the theaters, and why that is also its one of those VR ones where it's a 3D space you can drag around and zoom in/out, or if you actually have a VR headset, watch it with that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlUV6y5TUko

The screen being a hundredth of the size is usually a big factor

Similar to Harry Potter, it had a huge fandom of young people who by now are old enough to reexamine it with a critical eye. I don't really think their audience is old enough yet, and those that are already stopped watching out of the realization the show was bad. We don't really need a retrospective anyway, we're full to bursting with internet weirdos yelling at the show episode by episode. I think it'd be more interesting to make a writeup of all the stuff they're cargo culting - point out how they're failing to understand it, and maybe even talk about how their sources themselves could've been flawed to begin with. That was actually my favorite part of Hbomberguy's posts and video, when he was nailing all the stuff RWBY's cribbing off of, namely Korra and Bebop, though I know for certain the rabbit hole goes way deeper than just those two shows. Maybe also point out all the reused MMD assets from other people that end up in the show, since I heard that was the entire spawning for several characters in RWBY.

RWBY is one of those things that completely passed me by because by the time RT was really going all in on it I had ducked out of RvB because I didn't really care for the more serious and bombastic tone it was moving towards. I watched the hbomb video because I like hbomb videos and my takeaway is that it essentially fell into some pretty classic amateur creator traps and also really suffered from nobody involved really having any kind of experience organizing such a large scale collaborative project. Probably also didn't help that the overriding ethos of the project was "let's make an anime" and the two principle writers had to be given a crash course by making them binge the last decade of popular anime that showed up on adult swim + ATLA/Korra. It's not really surprising that RWBY just turned out to essentially be fanfiction with the serial numbers filed off with the occasional awesome Oum fight scene. What is crazy is that it's still going after 8 seasons and Oum's death despite it all. I guess really good character designs + fan inertia is a hell of a thing. Definitely doesn't seem like something I would ever bother to watch, but glad it's bringing some people joy. And if nothing else yeah those characters are really good fighting game material.

Mary Cagle who does a really good webcomic (Sleepless Domain) and a friend do some pretty in-depth reviews of it with a friend called Anime Slushie. https://animeslushie.libsyn.com/ While they'll talk about things they like, there's usually not much.

I feel like it should be mentioned that the Anime Slushie reviews are really done more like they're roasting RWBY than anything else, but it's not really the main feature of the podcast. It's mostly just a product of sticking through that show for its entire runtime waiting for it to improve when it stubbornly refuses to. That being said, they also do a pretty good series revisiting Madoka Magica after a decade of people trying to reinvent the dark magical girl genre in its wake.

If you need some pressure release valve for laughing at RWBY, I know Mary Cagle and her co-host rip apart the new seasons from 6 onward in their Anime Slushie podcast. You can probably browse the archives of their show to get a bit of absolution there. e- drat didn't notice Dawgstar's post

I just can't get enough of people criticizing this show, long as it sounds reasonable. Again, that whole "Use RWBY as a springboard to talk about where Korra and FMA 2003 flopped" obsession I have.

It had really high viewership at the start, and then it cratered hard the longer it went on. Korra was extremely lucky that it got seasons 3 or 4. Nickelodeon would have been completely justified in just flat out cancelling it.

book one started with around 4.5m viewers and book two ended with around 2m. book three's first few episodes were even lower, likely owing to a leak of several episodes before the season premiere, and about halfway into book 3 is when it was shifted to online edit: just remembered, although it stayed on fridays, nick kept shifting korra's timeslot which probably shook off a few viewers as well?

Neddy Seagoon posted:Everybody shut up; SnapCube's released their new Real-Time Fandub of Shadow the Hedgehog! Not as great as the Battle or 06 dubs but farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr better than the Riders dub. There's a couple of parts they really should have just cut to edit it down from an hour, but it didn't meander around desperately trying to find a bit that sticks (or wasn't being beaten beyond the point of death by that pair they jettisoned from the group) as in the Rider dub either. Alfred's Eggman remains GOAT.

They tried to write it by themselves and focused on characters people just didn't like plus some really ham-fisted villains in the first two seasons. Until they brought in more creative talent the best most fans would say was 'it's okay I guess' or be really into it for the potential than what was actually there and a lot of the fanbase just hated it.
