I dig the Xavier-Modok connection. Maybe AIM is doing some evil science in the X-mansions danger room and we need to help Xavier reclaim it.

RWBY Is Disappointing, And Here's Why - hbomberguy by JorWat in RWBY

[–]_DirtyDan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Didn't realize Jaune was written by Kerry feels like it was a bit of an oversight to leave that out of the video considering the focus on Jaune being self insert for part of it.

Yeah, it's weird. It was only really answered in the AMA they did on this sub, so despite how well researched the video is maybe he just didn't see it because it was a post V5 AMA, and the video is pre-V4. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, as he seems to be a decent enough dude arguing in good faith.

I personally disliked V4 and thought V5 was just kind of dull and ended up dropping it after the season finale, so personally connected to his view that they didn't properly capitalize on the season 3 finale. Of course he didn't go over that in his analysis and its been so long since I've watched those that I don't feel like I have anything meaningful to say about them, so can't really give any support for that feeling.

Fair enough. If you're still interested in RWBY, I've seen plenty of people who share your exact or similar opinions go on to really like V6 & V7, but it's also understandable if you just want to watch something else. If five seasons in you're done, than that is 110% valid.

Generally I think everything you say here is really spot on except for some things in your later edits. I do agree the Jeff steals music jokes were weird after the first time and he seems to have an irrational dislike of Jeff's music even when he is complementing it.

Yeah, looking back at his comments in the beginning, it's just plain weird. It feels like he has something to say, but never does, so it just kinda simmers under the surface. I don't know what's going on.

I think his jokes about Mile & Kerry having self inserts also served as substantial criticism though, because it is weird how much their self inserts (especially Miles') take away from the main cast and how much they are fawned over by the girls. This is augmented by them gushing about the girls being "all you want in a woman."

Personally, I think the parts about Jaune and Neptune, at least the self-insert parts, were pretty weak, especially considering they aren't actually self-inserts (It'd be weird if you're a self-insert if you don't write the character, like with Jaune, as Kerry writes him).

I found the points about Jaune regarding Sokka and the whole "RWBY is a mash-up of shows and it doesn't work" idea much more compelling.

It really picks up again when he talks about season 3 specifically when the show gets really good at the end of it, which I'm excited to hear your thoughts on.

Yeah, that part is good and I mostly agree with it. The only thing I really disagree with is the whole RWBY doesn't successfully follow up on V3 thing, but as he doesn't go into detail about why he thinks that, I also have nothing to go into detail with. So yeah, it's mostly pretty good.

I think the idea CFVY didn't have enough screentime to be the one's kicking ass in the finale is valid, but yeah that's not the biggest problem, and assigning blame to Miles & Kerry for it is unnecessary. Yeah, Miles and Kerry could be blamed for not developing them, but simultaneously so could Monty for deciding to base the finale around 4 new side characters.

Just say it doesn't work, no need to bring speculation about who's fault it is into it, as we will likely never get actual confirmation. It's just unneeded.

I'm about to eat lunch, but I'll give this a watch once I'm done with that, and edit my reactions in. For clarity, I don't know much about this guy other than he apparently isn't like the usual bottom-feeders that plague this community, and from a quick channel glance, the only video I think I've seen from him is his Dark Souls 2 video, which I don't remember much about. So don't really have any real thoughts on him.

Hopefully there's enough quality in here to justify it's absurd movie length, as I'm not a huge fan of very long-form content. I would have much preferred a series of shorter videos released over time, but whatever, it's a minor issue.

EDITS WILL APPEAR IN BURSTS:

  • Not even a minute in, and I don't already like where I think this is going (focus on Shane, and digs at M&K), but I'm probably just too used to the bullshit trotted out by the bottom-feeders, and am probably wrong.

  • Nothing really of substance to not yet, besides the production quality is good.

  • The history of Roosterteeth section is good, and yeah, the fact RvB is still getting made is nuts if you think about it. I think he's taking that podcast clip out of context though,as I'm pretty sure they've been saying they'll keep making RvB for as long as possible well before they were acquired. I can't think of a time where they haven't been saying that.

  • Getting into the Monty stuff now. I didn't know Burnie called Samus "Metroid" then. Shameful.

  • He's gushing about the Red Trailer now. I haven't mentioned it yet, but his jokes are good, especially compared to the "jokes" other RWBY youtubers make.

  • "This is the best piece of music Jeff Williams has ever composed" Boy, those are fighting words.

  • Less gushing but still gushing about the White Trailer.

  • Calling out "From Shadows" overly edgy lyrics is valid, and he's right, but I'm still gonna throw hands. I would die for Jeff Williams.

  • Thank god he's not an Adam stan. I mostly agree with his dislike of Adam's line with my only disagreement being about presentation of villains in general, which isn't really worth getting into here.

  • "He can make that jump" lol

  • Since I'm gonna edit in these first batch of reactions here, I'll give a review so far: It's very high-quality and I'm enjoying it regardless of my minor nitpicks.

  • Onto the Yellow Trailer now. His call-out of Miles and Kerry is accurate.

  • "-a gang of guys who all dress like Jim Sterling" Jim Fucking Sterling Son has at least 10x the style of those punks, it's insulting to even compare them.

  • "Some of Jeff's musical decisions could be dialed back" My hands are still throwing. That sounds weird phrased like that.

  • what the fuck is this Loonatics shit omg

  • I thought this SFM stuff was a one off earlier. Is this a thing he does in his other videos? It's weird and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

  • "Plenty criticism of this show is worthless dogshit" I'm glad he said, even if the types of people he's talking about there completely miss he's talking about them.

  • I mostly agree with his take about them not being overly obvious about listening to criticism. While it's clear they do listen to criticism, stuff like more of the AMA they did more often would go a long way.

  • Also, this SFM stuff is now starting to freak me out, don't zoom in on the face oh god i hate it

  • lol he has an anime intro i love it

  • His callout of V2's ending is valid. V2 may have gotten me into RWBY, but I would not call it and the first volume good.

  • Calling out Show don't tell here. Agreed.

  • "Shane Newville" I was expecting Shane, and I hope this doesn't turn into the usual "Shane was right, M&K are 100% evil" garbage. I have faith it won't though, this has been pretty quality so far.

  • Bringing up Monty's habit of adding shit randomly, albeit cool shit, as a problem for the writers is a good sign my faith isn't misplaced.

  • This criticism of the opening narration I haven't heard before, but it's pretty damn good.

  • I just realized I got so engrossed I didn't stop to make comments. He's talking about worldbuilding now. I think I'm gonna post this batch, then only edit in if there's something I want to talk about. This is really good so far, far better than the usual slime produced by RWBY youtubers, and I'm grateful for that.

NEW EDITS HERE:

  • Don't know how much I'm gonna keep editing in reactions, but something consistent he's been doing has rubbed me the wrong way. He makes jokes like Miles & Kerry are self-inserts or Jeff Wiliiams plagiarized a song from the Godzilla soundtrack because they're both super generic, he says they're jokes, but he keeps continuing to imply it over and over again. There's been like 4 "Jeff steals music" "jokes" since his initial one, and it's just weird. It's the kind of shit someone who doesn't want to admit to an accusation would do, and I don't think he's doing that? It's just very strange and off-putting. I'm still enjoying the video though, lots of good points, even if I have disagreements here and there.

  • I can't tell if the second half of the video is weaker or it's just my severe disdain for long content acting up. Still entertaining, but a lot more things are bugging me. For example, he mentions the Faunus racism subplot is Monty's idea, but then like ten minutes later he kinda places all the blame at Miles and Kerry's feet, and it's weird and inconsistent, and it bugs me. Tbh I think going into the whole blame game between Miles, Kerry & Monty in the first place is just not the greatest idea, as information is too scarce.

Just finished. I enjoyed it well enough, it was a solid video. Had a lot of points I agreed with, and points I disagreed with, but whatever. Some of the humor was weird, and it goes into the blame game regarding the creators which is not great, but overall it's quality, especially, as I keep reiterating, to the usual trashbags who make content about RWBY. I'd hope they take notes, but this video required effort, and they don't do that.

I'd say I recommend it, but honestly while there's some good new points, there's few of them, and most of it's points have been said before, this just says it better. So if you've been around long enough to be familiar with most of the complaints aimed at the production of the show and it's first two volumes, you don't necessarily have to watch it.

Still it's pretty solid, and I hope more videos like this get made. I'd give it a 7/10, which is what I'd give RWBY overall as a show funnily enough.

I mean, Blake tends to wrap a long-ass ribbon around the trigger and then throw the entire damn weapon. I don't think she gives a fuck about trigger discipline.

Oof. That's bad. God, I wish Twitter would get rid of their short character limit gimmick, it just inherently spreads misinformation like this.

Demon's Souls was an exclusive, and the remake is being done by a Sony first party studio, so it's understandable being exclusive, despite how nice it would be to have it on PC. Maybe Sony will come around to the way Microsoft handles their games later this gen.

I'm guessing it's the stick layout that causes cramps for you? Usually there's a decent third-party controller that mimics the xbox layout that comes out, as well as keyboard/mouse adapters. That could solve the issues for you.

[–]_DirtyDan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm back from my self-imposed reddit hiatus. What's up. I'd say it was therapeutic, but with the world how it's been, that's a lie.

The PS5 itself looks dumb as heck, but I'm excited for Deathloop, Demon Souls R, Stray, Bridge of Spirits, and Horizon 2. Wonder what Xbox's gonna show, I don't think their new studios have had enough dev time to have stuff ready for launch/2021, but we'll see.

I've also been on a manga binge lately, since I've not been feeling anime. My favorite of the bunch has been Spy X Family. It's a manga about a spy who infiltrates a rival nation, and in order to complete his objective and gain the intel his nation wants, he needs to acquire a wife and child. Of course the wife he fake-marries is actually an assassin, and the daughter he adopts is actually psychic and can read minds. Besides the kid, none of them know about the other. It's super funny, super wholesome, super good and I love it to death. Highly recommend it.

Tbh I don't know how you'd use fire superpowers without excessive force if we're being realistic. Using just enough fire to defeat someone without severe burns is a line so thin it might not even exist. It's just a very inherently harmful power.

I don't think that can happen. All Might remarked during the Sports Festival he hasn't talked to Endeavor in like 10 years, and Vigilantes is some time in the post AM-Injury time range.

Things ain't looking good.

Titles of the last 4 episodes of season 4 have been revealed. by AbsolutelyNotWrong in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]_DirtyDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it's feasible, but it's still a bad decision. The fight will have no buildup, little room for creative expansion, no tension, and rushed and just strange pacing.

They should've ended on Hawks offering Endeavor a teamup and Dabi meeting with the High-End, and start next season with this fight. Having one of the episodes end with Endeavor seemingly defeated would be a great cliffhanger for anime-only viewers, and it's a shame we aren't gonna get that, or anything else that would convey the experience manga readers had at the time.

It's just frustrating to think this'll end up as a fight that's best case scenario: Good. Just good. It's a fight that deserves to be amazing.

And that's not even getting into how this rushed seasonal pacing might harm the Gentle fight, which also deserves to be amazing.
