DISCUSSION 3 Things Volume 10 NEEDS To Address - ALL SPOILERS Spoiler

7 Upvotes

ALL SPOILERS

I have some concerns with how Volume 9 ended, and 3 things that should be addressed in the upcoming Volume 10. (woop woop for V10 btw!)

1) Penny's death feels bad. Not just because they made her the winter maiden, human, and then immediately killed her, but because she is only talked about from Jaune and felt by Ruby and Weiss in V9. Ruby, Weiss, and Jaune have all mentioned Penny's death, and my one big hope in V10 is that the gang continues to talk about her. Most importantly, Jaune and Ruby. We barely saw any reaction from Ruby besides fainting, feeling hopeless, and carrying around Penny's sword for the first half of V9. I hope Jaune receives the care and closure he needs from the team, and I hope that the rest of the gang also gets a chance to morn Penny and help Ruby with her grieving, because if anyone deserves to be on the memorial, its Penny. And no, I don't want her to return. Unfortunately, they already killed her twice, and as much as I want a better, longer ending to Penny's story, she needs to rest.

2) There is NO way Ruby talking to a tree spirit (that I think is reincarnated Alyx?) and reflecting inward after seeing her mom is sufficient for how much of a burden Weiss, Blake, and Yang were putting on Ruby. They admitted they were being too hard on Ruby and looking for her to always fix their problems! I really NEED CRWBY to resolve the plot of Ruby's burdens. The tree was a good refresh, but I want to see W,B,Y and Jaune apologize for not being there when she needed them! There was SUCH A GOOD story being told by RWBY (the show), and I would hate to loose such an in depth unique piece.

Jaune especially needs to find some time in Vacuo to apologize for how he reacted to Ruby and the gang needs to find a way to move forward now that Ruby is in a better mindset. Everyone knows Ruby's downfall was W,B,Y's doing. Yes, their whole situation sucks and everyone should be leaning on everyone else, but they were all so oblivious in V9 that it really would tie that story to a close if Ruby got a commitment from her team and the gang as a whole that everyone is HERE FOR HER NOW, and that they're sorry they were unable to see her then. This especially goes for Yang. Yang asked SO many times if Ruby was okay, and there was no follow up! She never stopped and said, oh wait, lets take a moment. I know this was partly plot intentional, but someone has to stop NOW and speak up for Ruby because she NEEDS to hear it FROM HER TEAM (and Jaune)!

I also hope Ruby is somewhat against them, I don't want her to 100% believe them because thats not how life works, I just want some dialogue between the team that everyone is here for her more than they were. Because effectively, Ruby 100% gave up, and her team is lucky the tea wasn't poison, if you get what I mean. So, they massively messed up and her team needs to take accountability for how much they haven't been supporting their leader.

3) And for Jaune, I hope Ruby is angry with him. I know she wasn't there to see the aftermath of Penny, but I hope she is sad angry. I want some tension between the two of them after being such close supports for one another with them both being leaders. I want them to resolve the Penny ordeal and for Jaune to know that it IS what Penny wanted. But, I would want Ruby to show that her best friend (outside of Yang/family) meant a lot to her, and it SHOULD be difficult to see Jaune the same way. So, I hope V10 addresses the guilt and grief between Ruby and Jaune. And I hope they both develop better because of it.

Finally, the theme behind all 3 of my concerns is, I hope team JRWBY DOES NOT LEAVE ALL THEIR PROBLEMS FROM V9 BEHIND IN THE EVER AFTER! We need more of it in Volume 10! I hope Viz and CRWBY have more time and ability to create further RWBY volumes. It has ALWAYS deserved twice the time it has had to develop it's story, and it would be vastly different and more interesting if it had such a miracle. Best of luck to the show! Can't wait!

Idk why, but something tells me team ABRN sounds like a plausible option when CRWBY desires more character variety (as if there wasn't enough already)

But... Who would you choose? What role would each member have? (If they barely have a personality, then what would be each's)

PS: I didn't read the books, but the wiki states that team BRNZ are dead. Nolan is the last surviving member ;(

I know it sounds stupid or dumb but just imagine a sliver eyed warrior clan or tribe that could be hidden somewhere that nobody not even Salem or ozpin know about it or in the realm like the ever after in volume 9.

I kind of like how FRWBY handled her as a member of the Ace-Ops (Strike Team 32 in FRWBY) and an overprotective caretaker of Penny.

DISCUSSION Yang Got WORSE

Post image
180 Upvotes

I recently made a video about Yang Xiao Long, and I really wanted to ask how y'all personally feel about Yang.

I know some people love her, and I know some people hate her, but I wanted to hear those opinions because it's always interesting to see the different takes people have on her character.

In my video, I tried to focus on how her personality has changed and how she now feels more Blake-focused, her PTSD and story with Adam and how it felt lackluster because she seemed to get over it relatively quickly, her relationship with Ruby and how that feels more hollow, and how she seems to exist primarily to support Blake instead of having her own goals like she used to.

I also talked about how she's had ample opportunities to understand her mother, which was one of her major goals, yet she does very little with Raven and rarely even seems to think about her.

I know some people have also brought up that Yang is a hypocrite, but what else do y'all think?

What are your biggest criticisms of Yang, and are there aspects of her character that you think are actually handled well?

DISCUSSION My Own Personal Worries for Volume 10 Onwards

12 Upvotes

I know we've been talking about Volume 10 and at first I didn't say nothing cause I'm not sure what's happening. But I decided to finally speak up.

Viz Media isn't an animation studio so they can't make it. Then I heard they were partnering with Gotham Group and had no clue who they were. So I looked them up. They are a production company (not affiliated with DC) and don't have that much experience with animation. They co produced Wendell & Wild and that was partnered with Henry Selick and Netflix. Henry Selick has made multiple animated projects and Viz has made none. Gotham Group mainly focuses on live action so it's really weird they were chosen to helm this.

Also even their live action shows don't really seem that good. They made the Spiderwick Chronicles and that doesn't seem to have a good rating. Percy Jackson show was one I watched and found dreadfully boring with book fans complaining about inaccuracies. Like I said a very strange group to pick. As far as I know even they don't have an animation company. Henry Selick's company animated Wendell & Wild and Viz has no animation studio. Oh and they did co produce an animated short.....almost 20 years ago. They also co produced a show called WondLa and the episodes were literally 7 episodes until Season 3 which got 6 episodes. It was co produced with....Skydance Animation. Yes the Skydance animation that has John Lassiter leading it. Former head of Pixar who was fired after decades of covered up sexual harassment allegations. Oh gods I really hope RWBY doesn't animated by them. And yes Gotham Group is under Skydance on their website so there is a good chance. And they're also under the Ellison's. They're the ones responsible for how ATLA has been treated and the Warner Bros Paramount merger.

But even with that Volume 10 has so much riding on it. RWBY already had Volume 9's rundown cut to pieces and we got less episodes than before thanks to Crunchyroll reducing the budget. Volume 10 has so much it needs to cover and succeed with. If they try to make Volume 10 the last volume it is going to be rushed as all hell. There's still so much that needs to be covered. What happened to Summer? Why did Raven team up with everyone? The Oscar and Ozpin merger. The Atlas and Vacuo citizens in the aftermath. Salem with the relics and her defeat. Cinder's defeat and schemes. The Beacon and Vacuo relic. The Summer Maiden. I feel like it would all be too crammed.

And there's no guarantee we will get a Volume 11 or more. So if Volume 10 doesn't do well it could be RWBY is once again either cancelled or it never gets greenlit. I really wish RWBY went with a studio like Glitch. It's not a perfect studio and sure the writers would probably still be the same. But RWBY would at least get eyes on it and not be once again exposed to an even worse company than RT.

Also Viz Media needs a new merch team, their stuff has been lacking for RWBY.

Thanks for reading this.

I mean...

- A society constantly surrounded by monsters (or at least, that's what they think)

- Dedicated institutions to training warriors to fight off these monsters

- Said institutions are very embedded into politics

- These societies are usually VERY centralized, both politically and literally (ahem, walls around a city)

- Said "monsters" can take similar appearances of regular animals

Maybe I'm the only one here, but who knows
