Hello, welcome to my channel. I'm Marco Strange, host of Talks with Marco, where I interview people, and How I Would Write, where I give my thought on how to rewrite/continue a movie/series. I also make reviews, Top 4 lists, and videos of myself in cosplay. Hope you enjoy my content and decide to subscribe to see what I'll make next.
Angel Dust: Response to How Not To Write A Victim of Abuse
For those who don’t know, Limus is a RUclipsr who recently made a video titled "How Not To Write A Victim Of Abuse." In it, they said Angel Dust was a horrible character and that he got them to stop watching Hazbin Hotel after episode 4. While I encourage discourse, I have multiple problems with their video, and I plan on going through that today.

Rosario Vampire Review: At Least It's Not Twilight
Просмотров 38621 день назад
I recently made a Tekken 8 Customization video containing characters from Rosario Vampire. After seeing people praise those and seeing that it is Halloween, I thought doing a review of Rosario Vampire would be a great idea. Also, it's a better love story involving a vampire and a human than Twilight, so that's another reason it's worth talking about. lol My Social Media: linktr.ee/Marco_Strange...

I love making Tekken 8 Customization videos and decided to do something different. Instead of focusing on one series, like my Higurashi and Umineko ones, I did more of a mix of characters from various animes and games. Darkstalkers, Rosario Vampire, Inuyasha, Doki Doki Literature Club, and other series are featured in this video. Most of these choices are related to monsters and horror, so I at...
RWBY: The Fandom Needs To Change For The Future of RWBY

One of the worst things about RWBY is the fandom. Regardless of anything you critique about the series, a vocal part of the RWBY fandom will hate you for it. Here's why it's wrong and why it needs to change if RWBY is going to have any future.

I have a lot of personal favorite waifus from this series, just to list a few.... Erza Scarlet Kagura Millianna Irene Belserion Kyoka (From Tartaros. The hottest female villain of all time, mainly when the mask comes off) Mary (From the Avatar arc) Ophiuchus Eclipse Laki Olietta Levy Eclair (Phoenix Priestess) Angel Kiria (100 years quest, even though I didn't really like it) Secondary mentions go to Brandish and Dimaria
Thank you! You've put all I wanted to say about the original video into words. For example, tt was so strange to hear that critique of the "Poison" song when it's so raw and so painful, if you just look a tiny bit closer.
@@yana_v_v thanks. I'm happy to hear that. I will say there's so many things Limus says that didn't make sense, including their thoughts on Poison.
Call me an idiot if I'm wrong...but I thought the fact that poison was so energetic despite the content was the entire point of the song. I thought it was supposed to show how Angel tried to hide behind a confident facade yet under the surface, he was genuinely hurting. And if Linus was complaining about the song being too energetic, I thought the end of the song did a great job showing Angel's facade breaking down.
I'm convinced Limus didn't watch the whole thing. I think they assumed the worst about it and thought there was nothing else worth seeing about it. Limus also never explains why Pumped Up Kicks is allowed to exist, but Poison shouldn't. Would really love it if they answered that. I won't hold my breath, though.
Except to a certain extent these are RUclips tv shows, and there’s no way Viv DOESNT know that most of her audience consists of edgy 13 year olds. I understand it was never intended to be for 13 year olds, but god knows she was also a teenager with unlimited access to the internet. She should know that she’s going to get kids watching her show. I’m obviously not saying she should’ve changed the entire mood of the show, but maybe handling certain topics irresponsibly (for example: trying to portray SA in a show that makes jokes about SA, and the obvious fetishization of gay men) isn’t the best option (in general, but especially when you KNOW stupid preteens are watching your show) It’s one of the things I actually really like about The Amazing Digital Circus. The creators clearly knew from the beginning that stupid kids were going to watch their show because it’s the 2020s, and it’s inevitable. So instead of just putting on a quick disclaimer that it’s not for kids (knowing full well that they won’t listen because what teen on the internet DID listen?) they slightly tweaked the world building to prevent inappropriate consequences. And these tweaks don’t damage the story in any way, so it can definitely be done. I’m not saying Viv has to cut out all the swears like TADC does, if parents don’t want their kids swearing then they should watch their kids. But since it’s basically impossible NOT to know her audience is mostly stupid 13 year olds…maybe fetishizing gay men (and joking about SA sometimes) isn’t the best decision? Because it teaches kids that this is okay. There’s a certain level of responsibility that comes with putting your work on a very public domain that Viv just…didn’t take into account. And I’m not saying she’s a bad person for it, but maybe a tad irresponsible. RUclips isn’t like a company where you can specifically market it towards a specific audience. If she didn’t know that before, she definitely should now. Also I’m pretty sure she’s in her 30s so there’s less of an excuse for her to handle these topics so irresponsibly than there would’ve been-like-a decade ago.
So every creator should just take into account that what they make will eventually get in the hands of people who aren't supposed to be watching it? Shows like Bojack Horseman, Invincible, and South Park should all change despite the fact they make it clear they're for an older audience and not for kids? You're basically blaming Viv for making a show and not saying, "hey I should change my vision of the series I want to make cause eventually someone is not going to be a parent and let their kids watch it." It's the same reason parents were mad at Deadpool for being R rated, because they're not smart enough to actually look at the rating before letting their kids watch it. The rating whether you like it or not, is responsible. It's saying, "if you're not this age, then it's not for you and you shouldn't be watching it." Again, blaming her is stupid, because then you should be blaming anyone who's ever made anything for a mature audience in the past.
Remember kids! If you only ever have perfect and morally good characters of different races/sexualities/genders etc, that’s *also bad representation*
I miss the days when characters with flaws were actually welcomed. Everyone seems to think making any character "perfect" is the best way to represent anyone. I don't care who you are, but no one is perfect. Again, it's hard to believe people don't realize that.

True ending to higurashi 😂❤️🔥
Finally, a critique of Limus' video without having to insult of bully her. Take notes Hazbin stans.
@@TheUnmitigatedDawn thank you lol I was worried some of the lines I said would be taken as insults, but they really were just critiques. Like saying they should take a deeper look at things instead of assuming a song like poison is meant to glamorize abuse. I will admit though sometimes I can be a little hard with my critiques too.
@@MarcoStrange Trust me, your critiques don't come off that harsh. Again, the way many Hazbin stans went on to mock and bully Limus despite being a victim of SA herself was disgusting.
@TheUnmitigatedDawn that was another reason I brought up them being a victim. I did have a concern people would bring this up, so I made a comment to say "my critiques in no way are meant to say they're not really a victim" Thats also why I did my own research like about Angel Dust being hypersexual. While I heard that it was a thing that can happen to victims, I wanted to make sure it was sourced instead of saying "I heard other people say this instead" I'll also admit Limus did make me mad with their video. I do think it's bad to say Loser Baby doesn't work because Angel and Dusk are so different. However, I knew insulting Limus wouldn't get my point across on why I disliked it.
What was that green bro spouting 😭 good on you correcting it
@@FizzTail thank you. Hope you check out the whole video as well. While they say even crazier stuff, I make sure to correct them still. Lol ruclips.net/video/-viSBxfc16U/видео.htmlsi=ngyTIllg2CiURl6u
@MarcoStrange I'll definitely leave a like but hearing that guy talk about hazbin like that was so wrong 💀
@@FizzTail agreed. Sorry you had to go through that, but I hope my parts telling them they were wrong made it worth it. Lol
I recommend adding subtitles to your videos - otherwise please continue I watched the video you're reacting to - he is legit just mad that the character has personality flaws The Irish Pub comment was racist from him Viv has made clear it's an adult show Angel Dust is a victim of Exploitation - not just SA - and hypersexuality is a HUGE coping mechanism As a victim of exploitation myself - hypersexuality is very hard to deal with especially when you don't know about it so THANK YOU GENUINELY - THANK YOU 💞 MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH LIMUS WAS HOW HE NEVER LOOKED UP HYPERSEXUALITY 😭😭😭 THANK YOU FOR DOING RESEARCH Poison was about Angel not wanting the abuse - it genuinely made me cry because of my experience with exploitation Limus just keeps calling Angel a "sl*t" and is essentially BLAMING Angel for his experience I relate to Angel as a victim myself - I heard Poison and Angel's confession and I could HEAR myself Husk is a victim of exploitation just like Angel - just a different kind Again THANK YOU Limus' video hurt HEAVILY - feels terrible for my old coping mechanisms to be called "sl*tty" - that's something I heard a lot when I was going through the worst of it I'm better now - happier now - older now But I still remember and the worst of the abuse only stopped recently - so I took the video VERY personally Felt good seeing you care enough to research hypersexuality before talking about it - its kind of like a cloud hanging over your head You don't feel in control of your own body and you're essentially violating yourself over and over and over again - I was not an adult when things happened to me Not understanding why I couldn't stop hurting myself - why I was so desperate for certain people - why I needed to flash my skin - was so terribly distressing It wasn't specifically SA - but it was still s*xual exploitation Between 12 and 17 was when it happened - im 18 now and part of it DID leak over into 18 It was just a few months ago that I was able to confront my longest, worst abuser and assert myself the final time to really break the link So yeah this is new... So again - thank you - your response video made me feel truly seen and from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU 💞
@@tiawolf3610 I'm happy to hear that. Honestly in my initial script I was more mean and a couple of good people told me "hey you need to focus more on praising Angel cause thay should be the focus" and they were right. I don't know if Limus did research, but it does come off like they didn't. I admit I walked in not knowing certain things, which was why I did try my best to at least learn more before commenting kn anything. I still believe the worst thing was him trying to say Angel and Husk can't relate to each other. That just sends the message you should be more closed off to people unless they're going through the exact same thing, which would only hurt victims cause they wont open up to others. I really wish Limus would have thought of that before saying it. I am happy to hear my video had that impact on you, and hope you stay around to see more of my videos in the future. And also thanks for the comment.
The devil weirs a smile.

Thank you
@@MarcoStrange your welcome
I feel most of the hate videos of anything Vivziepop related feels very repetitive. most of complaint is that "this show uses to much curse worse" or "this show is so horny and gay" or other Nitpick that feels like Internet autism instead of real criticism. I think the only review that I have seen that has been Positive about Hazbin Hotel is by a RUclipsr called Jambareeqi which he does defend most of the Complaints about the show.
The complaint I hate the most is the "glamourizing abuse" one like Limus is doing. Like I said, I don't know how anyone can watch Angel Dust being abused and think the show is glamourizing it.
Man i really wish they continued the show, Because when Tsukune became a Ghoul and threws hands with Moka's Mom...THAT WAS GAS
There's someone who only watched the anime reading this saying, "MOKA'S MOM APPEARS IN THE MANGA!?" lol
The manga plot also sucks lol what In fact it's even worse because it tries to have a plot and character development and it miserably fails, at least the anime is just a dumb harem
What exactly makes the manga worse? You said it fails but how does it fail?
@MarcoStrange Because everything about the writing is bad At least the anime doesn't try to have a plot, you can just enjoy it as a dumb harem Meanwhile the manga's writing insults my brain
@mysmallnoman okay let me clarify, what is a specific thing you hate about the writing in the manga? The characters, plot points, what exactly is it in the writing you hate? If I do actually review the manga I would love to know and address it in the review if it's that big of a deal.
@MarcoStrange i have an entire large " review " i wrote to myself 2 years ago when i first read the manga, do you want it lol
@mysmallnoman if you still have it I'm willing to read it lol I'd also like to know how I should review a manga since I've only reviewed shows at this point
I hope 🤞 a season 3 will come-out
@@JaheimNoble-x1i I wouldn't mind, but I think a reboot following the manga would be better. Like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
I hope Rosario Vampire gets a remake that is faithful to the manga. And with many anime getting remakes like Fruit Basket, jojo, Bastard and Rurouni Kenshin I do believe it might be possible.
It's always possible. I just worry cause in the case of something like jojo, people were talking about it for so long before the current anime came out for it. I haven't seen the same for Rosario Vampire

Blitzø: "Yes i did! I apologized to your wife about (_) you, I apologized to Moxxie for being mean to him lately despite that he's one of my best employees. I said that it was a mistake coming to a public place like Ozzie's for a "date", and said that i am sorry that i wasn't in a mood for fucking you, and i apologized Fizz for abandoning him in the fire back in the circus, we patched it up, and he literally cried when i did that."
I am glad that this relationship has come to an end. Not only because i'm a homophobe, but mostly that Vivzie couldn't make up her mind about is Blitzø even loves him or hates him. That pair didn't have a future.
0utCastGh0st here It took me a long while looking back as to what originally drew me to RWBY to the series to begin with, and what made me fell out of it and decided Twitter was not the spot to put this, (I'm not buy blue for any reason). Simply put... The main selling point for me was simply Monty Oum himself. RWBY wasn't just a project he was working on like RvB, it was HIS project, and at the time I believed was gonna be full of kick high action fight scenes similar to Haloid and and the Tex vs fights. That was my original draw to the series. With Monty's passing, I was a strong advocate that the show should continue to never let the world he created die with him. I personally believed at the time S3 were possibly the last remnants of his animations moving forward, which I accepted in hopes they could get animators that could atleast at 1) Get close to/ match animation Monty's style. 2) Come up with a similar high action animation that fits. The first strike for me with RWBY going forward was the massive Retcon of Yang meeting Raven, before S3, I heard disturbing rumors involving Monty's original plans for the series that someone claiming to be close to him was holding the original script from everyone else, making me believe that if something was claimed to be what Monty wanted, we have no choice but to take the friend's word for it. I'm not sure if they publicly addressed it but regardless the Retcon was a giant red flag that somewhat invalidated the story for me. The second was the out of the blue sinking of Sun and Blake ship, (not really worth going into). and 3rd) That between 4 and whatever season introduced Oscar( The boy that was the headmaster's new "reincarnation?") where the animation fights felt uninspired and just not doing it. A grand example to me was the fight between CRWBY and JPR vs Cinder and her allies, Weise would repeatedly do a "Getting Focused" stance that just left her wide open too many times. The fight as a whole though just felt dull and just everyone taking turns. It's after that season I ultimately came to the conclusion that the team in charge of RWBY was more concern about getting RWBY out consistently vs taking their time and improving the quality of the fighting scenes to Monty's levels and decided to leave it as moving forward I'd be watching the series always wishing Monty was still, comparing the fights to S1&2, and ignoring the story not knowing whose story this was. This is why I ultimately said "rather they finish the series off before they do a reboot first" and "those who stuck with the series to RT's end deserve to see their story have its end." Ultimately, Monty is what sold me on the series by his name and what history it held alone. Deep down I just want Monty Oum back, I hated hearing how he died and I wished god he could have been saved and continue working on the series. Whether under Monty the story was going to better or worse than what we got, we'd still would have that magic Monty put into his animations. Personally, and I will NOT speak for others, RWBY getting a Reboot just because it's under a new holder would be completely pointless for as what sold me on RWBY to begin with is gone for good and it hurts. And if I can't be won over then might as well let those who stuck with RWBY to Rooster Teeth's end should it's conclusion with Viz. Settlement and profit rarely go hand in hand, but again, to me there's no point in a reboot if what was for me is gone. TLDR: For me, realistically without Monty, a reboot's ultimately is a waste of time for me.
I mean the og is off a reboot will fix the series
This is a tough question. I would like to see how this story end but i wouldn't mind a reboot. Maybe they can do a Full Metal Alchemist scenario like how the story of the original FMA ended with a movie tie-in, but Brotherhood enede with the creators vision of the ending.
I'm not against the idea, but I still see it as an issue if you're trying to attract new viewers. It doesn't make sense to invest in that if it's going to be harder to attract new fans to the series. Especially when you remember all the problems the original series is filled with. On top of that, it's not like RWBY hasn't been rebooted before. Both the manga and Ice Queendom were reboots, in a way, considering the number of changes they made.
Arguably I'd rather see if they could make RWBY anything first because I don't want any of the final volumes to not make sense because they couldn't handle it.
But I'd argue it's more acceptable to start over because you're asking too much of a new studio to come in and continue what's already a mess
A reboot is necessary at this point. RWBY currently reads like a rough draft and probably should be treated as such. Keep what worked, discard what didn't, refine the story and repeat the process many times. Salem is one of those that I think did work even though they didn't give her an endgoal while the bumblebee ship is one of the ones that didn't work because it royally screwed with the group dynamic.
@@andresmarrero8666 all true. Saying I want a reboot isn't saying I think all of it was crap. There's a lot of things they did right, or had good ideas. I think a reboot is a chance to show the right way to do everything in the series
I just hope that VIZ media does a reboot of the series, tbh, a lot needs to be change, but they should keep the original formula that Monty had.
@@redstories853 I agree the formula can stay. When I look at rwby my issues are with the execution not the premise. That's why I like ice queendom more cause they did a better job with their series.
The RWBY fandom is definitely among the most toxic I've ever been around. I think part of this is because (In their desperation to maintain their perceived fanbase amidst a crumbling narrative) the writers basically gave all of the power to the "Shippers", who are almost ALWAYS super toxic. Look at how Bumblebee became a thing: Yang and Blake's VAs make a joke at RTX about liking black and yellow so it was their favorite ship. Everyone laughs it off and despite it being the most popular of the ships for the Main 4, no one takes it too seriously, including the writers and VAs. Several years later, the show is faltering. Monty's passing left a hole in the show, and the writing AND anmation for Volume 4 took a serious hit. Volume 5 is even worse, with some scenes being flat out unfinished and the writing being the worst yet, with fans leaving in droves. The response from RT? "Well, Bumblebee is popular and it would earn us significant SJW brownie points on Twitter, let's just do that." It didn't matter that this DESTROYED both Sun AND Adam's characters. It didn't matter that there had been ZERO buildup to this in the previous 5 volumes. And it didn't matter that it went DIRECTLY AGAINST what Monty repeatedly and publicly stated about how he wanted Team RWBY to be portrayed ("They are all sisters.") None of that mattered. They went with what would get them a short term boost in engagement at the expense of the story they were trying to tell. There is not a single creative company, whether they are worth $100 or $1 Billion, NO CREATIVE COMPANY can operate successfully with that kind of writing. Ask Disney. Ask Warner Bros.
@@kylewilson2819 that's also what a lot of people don't get. Writing like this eventually goes downhill for your series. 6ou can't just make it because the fans say they want it. You need to do it cause you think it makes sense. Unfortunately, there's a few times in rwby it feels like they're doing something not because it makes sense, but because it's reacting to the Fandom reacting to something
@@MarcoStrange Yep. Also, good rule of thumb that RWBY seems to never remember to follow: STOP MAKING YOUR FANS DO HOMEWORK IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR WORLD WORKS!! I should not have to watch an entire side series, read multiple comic books and listen to every single RT podcast in order to understand how SEMBLANCES AND AURA WORK!!! Example: General Ironwood loses his mind in Volume 7/8 and becomes a dictator. Why? Well the meta reason is because "We wanted him to be a genocidal general". Again, so much for making story based decisions based on THE GODDAMN STORY! Also, the in canon explanation is that Ironwood's semblance forces him to hyperfixate on completing a task at any cost. Is this shown or even STATED in the show? Nope. It's revealed ON A FREAKING PODCAST!!! So not only is Ironwood basically going insane for what appears to be no reason, NOT ONLY is he going insane due to a semblance that is so similar to real world personality disorders like ASD and ADHD that it becomes offensive AT BEST and malicious AT WORST, no no no. THEY DO ALL OF THAT AND DON'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO TELL US THAT IN THE SHOW!! Forget "Show don't Tell", they forgot to even TELL us!!!
@@kylewilson2819 this wqs exactly what annoyed me when I brought up my coco video. If it's not brought up in the original series, that tells me they didn't think it was important enough to mention or didn't think about it enough to have a reason. It's really sad when you look back on it
@@MarcoStrange Yep. It’s RT’s main flaw with their writing. They are REACTIVE. Not PROACTIVE. And you can’t write a reactive story. As GRR Martin said: “If you design a story about a murder, and you set it up that The Butler did it, and you see that some bozo on the internet figured it out and you change it so that the chambermaid did it, you’ve screwed up the entire story.”
@kylewilson2819 that's another thing too. Take one piece for example. Most popular manga in the world, and luffy x nami is probably one of if not the most popular ship. He doesn't put them together now cause the series isn't about shipping. It's about finding the one piece. The minute he starts doing crap like that, he changes what the series was. I'm fine with shipping, but it does feel like rwby relies too much on it for their characters. Like Roman and neo. Did that really need to be a Canon couple, or could they said "hey let's do something different like have them as a father and daughter relationship?" By the way, I like how frwby deals with the relationship between Roman and neo.
More often than not a pushback to critique is due to tone or over abundances of high profile critiques that are more negative than positive you thoroughly address most of the negative responses to this in this video but you rarely if at all address the fact that most if not all conversations involving RWBY devolve into A. Yeah it's good but it could be better. or B. it messed up at these points and that ruined it all. what needs to change isn't the fandom it's the conversation surrounding the show if nothing but positivity dominates the conversation it becomes an Echo chamber which is what RWBY fans have resorted to creating due to the over all negative or negative leaning conversation tone that permeates the fandom which results in them having no tolerance to any Criticism much less honest or good intended Critiques of the show see where I'm going with this it's a viscous cycle over negativity created echo chambers which ripped away at their tolerance and acceptance for negativity which prevented a stable fandom from forming which now leaves us with a fandom constantly on the defensive from it's self and others does the fandom need to change to fix that? maybe. does that change my stance from earlier where I said it didn't need to? no. because I don't think it could if it even wanted to. to change the fandom your gonna have to start by changing how people talk about and defend the show you need to give them confidence in it other wise those old wounds won't heal the echo chambers will keep growing and the critics won't be heard at all for better or worse the RWBY fandom needs to heal and unite before it can ever hope to change.
I honestly thought I did cover the positivity thing in my section where I talked about those tweets. Those were all people arguing against my criticism on Yang, and trying to reach for anything to make RWBY look good. Viewing the first 3 volumes as a season, only ruby did anything of note/you don't need an arc. My point was this way of thinking doesn't help cause you're only driving people away. It's basically sending the message that if you have a negative opinion on something, you're wrong and we'll find any reason why. Then if you call us out, we ignore you. Likewise, I don't want everyone just telling me when i do positive things on this channel, or in my book. I welcome you to make any comments you want about either cause I know it helps me grow and I'm genuinely curious. I do think saying a show can be better isn't a bad thing. I can name multiple things RT dropped the ball on with RWBY that could have been better. That's also free for me to say because RWBY is this public thing that's open to criticism. Unfortunately, the series did get worse in a lot of ways, and I think it's fair to call it out when it happens. Just off the top of my head there's the faunus story, Adam being obsessed with Blake, and Jaune and Cardin's rivalry. All things RT dropped the ball on, and should have been done better. I'm not saying you can't disagree with my statement, but don't just view it as an attack like I'm trying to say the series is horrible. And, like I said, for all my complaints, RWBY is nowhere near the worst thing I've ever seen.
XD No No No that last paragraph is exactly what I mean I wasn't saying that criticism is bad for the RWBY fandom my point was that in my experience in both talking about the show and reading others conversations about it you can't have a conversation even a simple one with out one side bringing up Criticism no one in this fandom even back when season one dropped has had consistent conversations with people publicly and in some cases privately that didn't involve some one having a problem with the series and that's what hurt the fan base it wasn't that people were pointing out what was wrong it was that they couldn't talk about it with out doing that I've been in fan project discord channels all over redit hell I've even brought it up with random people around town while doing errands and I've been doing this since the show came out and I haven't had one conversation where someone who has actually watched the show and didn't criticize something about it yet the people who hadn't watched the show and were interested seemed excited to see more and often gave more theoretical conversation about powers and other such fun topics and yet all who had seen it almost all of there criticized the show or a very small part of it in a very dismissive or derogatory way some times while praising the rest of the show and believe it or not talks with long time fans were worse any conversation with them almost with out fail devolved into an essay on how the show could be better. I think most fans who love the show are jaded and threatened by the constant exposure to this and that the effect of this has only worsened over time. It feels like you can't be a Rwby fan with out having to defend either the show or your reason for liking it and it's felt that way from the start.
@@Dmansvids2 but that's the point in discussing a series. You're critiquing it in some way. I mean I hate to compare, but evangelion is an example of a very divisive series where people literally wrote "die anno die" on the wall of gainax. That's out of line and even when I hated eva I never would condone that. However, it's one of the most debated animes ever and part of that is because I did hear fans talk about why it was good and said "hey maybe I'm wrong and should watch it again" I did, and now it's one of my favorites. I wouldn't have given it another chance though if the eva Fandom acted like the rwby Fandom though. Anno had every right to say, the hell with the fans. Instead, he said "hey whatever you take away from my series, thats fine." I just dont buy that the Fandom is this way because they "always heard the series being critiqued." Is there anything online that isn't critiqued by people?
well were just gonna have to agree to disagree then I'm sorry you have such a bad impression of the fandom that some one speaking from experiences they had from the start of this series and of experiences others they've had first hand contact with holds no weight for you. but if your gonna keep putting all the blame on the fandom as a whole and not accept that bad actors and persistent and ever present over criticism had a significant affect on how the fandom grew and continues to respond then there is nothing more to be said between us. just try to open your mind and look into it hell look back at your own experiences with the show did you ever even have one conversation where you didn't critic put down or wish something from or in Rwby was or could have been better if you did your one of the rare few cause I haven't and I know most others haven't either I've talked with many people who have experienced the same thing I've been saying the whole time and if you want to disregard that then I can't stop you and I won't try to change your mind but I stand by my claim that the fandom grew into the way it is because no one could in the past or to this day say a damn thing about Rwby with out complaining critiquing or insulting it. honestly I think your a bit deluded on how many fans had good experiences talking about the series and more than a little deluded about the point of talking about a series if you think no one can have a conversation or discussion about a series with out critiquing it.
@@Dmansvids2 i was a fan once, and I was treated poorly when wanting to discuss the series. like I liked the fan theory qrow is ruby's dad secretly. I got told I was stupid, not a real fan, and I didn't deserve to talk about rwby. keep in mind, I still stayed after that. What exactly did I do to deserve being told all that, just cause I asked "hey what does everyone think of this theory?" Do you think that's acceptable to do to any fan wanting to discuss a theory?
I'm not trying to be a dick and you probably already know this, but you need a much better mic, sounds like a very bad phone recording.
Yeah sorry i bought a new one, and thought was better, and I'm not happy with it. You have any recommendations?
the "future of rwby" buddy rooster teeth is gone. Monty was gone before RT was gone. im sorry its gone. on the plus side Ruby's VA has a streamer gig.
I mean, I doubt viz bought it just to do nothing with it. That's just my thoughts about it
A Reboot would be the wisest desicion VIZ could make that this point. RWBY deserves better than what it has become now and Rebooting the franshise can be reforged from the ground up with better storytelling and a clearer vision.
Exactly. RWBY has always had great potential, and I think in the right hands it can be a success. Another problem with continuing instead of rebooting the series is you're continuing someone else's work. Wouldn't you prefer hitting reboot, instead of continuing what someone else made? Especially when that person/group made something with so many issues?
@@MarcoStrange Good question, it has to be a healthing balance of honoring the work of the source material while at the same time taking a few creative liberities to make the story more flueint and apealling. Like what Peter Jackson did with the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
@@robertaslanian2564 and here's the thing to all that. I don't mind what they tried to do originally. It's the execution that was the issue. Cardin could have become a regular background character that eventually became a friend or stayed an enemy. Instead, he was rushed and felt like they just wanted to wash their hands of him. I do agree they should make their own changes, but it's not like there aren't any good ideas already. I will say I probably would like them to stay at the school longer than the original. That would be one of the changes I'd make.
@@MarcoStrange Personally I think RWBY has been heading slowly down hill since the end of volume 3, and at this point it's already at rock bottom. So if they do Reboot it then keeping it focused in Beacon would be a good start.
Oh definitely. Especially since one of the complaints I talked about in this video was even in the beginning everything felt rushed
12:49-13:24 No wonder VIZ is radio silence on RWBY.
It's definitely not a position I'd want to be in. To me, they're both going to have their negatives, but a reboot has the chance to make a new Fandom and also tell them behavior like that isn't acceptable
@@MarcoStrange Also VIZ has access to RWBY's data on their merchandise sales, paid viewership, and brand deals. I suspect they saw the IP as damaged goods and will reboot it.
Also true. I mean I know people still hate me for this comparison but hazbin hotel/helluva boss has some amazing merch you can get. Even when I was a die hard rwby fan I wasn't crazy about what they had to offer merch wise
