Yeah of course the matrix is a resting place for souls, I just called them aether, as it would be that I mentioned that the souls can establish connection to the matrix as the souls are condensed energy from the matrix. And I did imply thst the matrix was a sort of "lifestream" like place outside of the four dimensions. You got the right idea there Stuxnet.

I think the idea that you had for dust as an engancing drug is interesting, how it improves performance. I'm thinking maybe the drug can increase aura duration and physical duration along as ability. I just have to think of the justification.

We just know this Volume ends somewhere towards the end of January. No word on Volume 4. But the fact that RvB is an anthology season this year with different writes and the fact they are interested in having the show in different art styles might free up Miles and Kerry and the animation team to get more work on RWBY done.
>>
>>77392661
No, we don't know if she ever had a tail or not
It's threadcanon that she had her tail docked for helping humans, though
I love how I know these things but never save the caps for them...
>>
>>77392661
No, that's just the fandom
>>
>>77392661
She's never had a tail. Her primary Faunus trait is her ears. Pretty happy about that actually. Tails creep me out.
>>
>>77392661
We have never seen her with a tail, she either cut it off or doesn't possess one.
>>
>>77392706
They want RvB in different styles? What?
>>
>>77392706
>animation team
>RvB
They do like two fights and a few things here and there. They hired an animator for RvB exclusively after Monty started RWBY. I don't think anyone besides Miles is really involved in both shows besides maybe interns or the produces.
>>
>>77392734

I like to think the features a faunus gets is completely random and differs between each person. Like Blake has cat ears and no tail while another cat faunus has a tail but no ears.
>>
>>77392764
Yeah. It came up when they were talking about Season 14 at RTX. Bunch of guest people and ministories focusing on characters across the RvB timeline instead of a standard story season.
>>77392783
Point taken. Still less work for them on that end. Even if it is ever so slight.
>>
>>77392787
Makes sense to me, although I'd add that the specific Faunus traits might persist while still working in the 50-50 way it's been stated. Blake's cat Faunus kids will always have ears, while tail cat Faunuses will pass on tails to their Faunus kids. If Sun and Blake had kids. They'd either have cat ears or monkey tails, but no monkey ears or cat tails.
>>
>>77392987
The kid would be a random Faunus. This was answered in the Q&A. There's no guarantee it would be a monkey or a cat.
>>
>>77393029
Pretty sure they clarified that'd it'd be random from the parents' animals, not animals in general.

That would be fucking hilarious if it was fully random, a deer and elk faunus have a shark faunus kid.

Basically it works like benders.

>>77393100
That was the editted comment. Before they didn't even bother to answer the question.

Huh. I'd still be in favor of them meaning that the parents' animals got randomized. I'm totally fine with fantasy genetics, but totally random would make no sense.

I think they've stated that mammalian Faunus are most common, but that other types exist.

>>77393346
I don't think they have, but I think it'd make more "sense" to be randomizing the traits already present rather than spontaneous generation of new ones.
>>
>>77393290
I hope so. I want a Rachnee-tier Spider Faunus.
>>
>>77393445
No idea what that means.
>>77393465
Well, yeah. That would be more logical. But to be honest, Faunus in general make no sense, unless they were artificially made or something.

>>77393519
Exactly.
>>
>>77393580
Gosh darn it all, Octy.
>>
>>77393471
While Rachnee is best girl, it kinda seems like that'd be a pretty extreme exhibition of traits. Maybe RWBY-arachne would just have multiple eyes? Then again, there's an elephant boy out there somewhere in Vale, so who knows.

The writing for this show doesn't even go in-depth on the main characters. The main characters aren't even the fucking main characters, they're a side-show to other teams.

But you're seriously calling that writing better than even a generic RomCom series? Get the fuck out of here. I can write a better story shoving a pen up my ass and dragging it across the paper and my characters would still have more depth to them than any character in RWBY.

And my generic "magic but not really magic" power would actually make sense, not just a get out of your shitty writing free card like Aura is.

And how much of that time was spent on stupid "muh bullies" shit? And how much of the second season's time was wasted with "muh prom teenage angst I CAN'T GET A DATE TO THE PROM"? In a show where the runtime is 15 minutes at best this is fucking inexcusable, that they're seriously wasting time for this and not anything that actually matters. Everything that was revealed during both arcs could have easily been revealed either later, in less time, or in a way that actually moved the overall story forward.

The writing is abysmal and that people are actually defending it or saying it's better than something is astounding. Even generic romcom and generic light novel adaptation battle shounen harem anime have better writing than RWBY.

It's called filler. They have no restrictions on how long RWBY can run, so they develop whatever characters they want and build the actual plot in the background. Even if its writing is shit, it's better than a show with no real plot at all.

I'd call that successful suspense.

Filler is used to fill the time between the manga and the anime so that the anime doesn't run out of source materiel. That doesn't even apply here because there is no source materiel.

The only thing you said there that had any plot relevance is Cinder breaking into a tower to do who the fuck knows, not the writers that's for sure.

As for Jaune, who the fuck cares. Why the fuck do we need to know so much about Jaune. He's not a title character, he's not a main character, why is his character being fleshed out before even the main characters? Why does he have two arcs dedicated to his stupid-ass teenage problems?

Right because obviously the show must be limited to title characters and all the other teams will do nothing for advancement of plot by showing team differences in dynamics, and totally won't help in the upcoming fights.
If all we knew about was team RWBY and then a huge fight happened where JNPR and SSSN jumped in there would be a shitstorm over not introducing anyone. I don't get how anyone could think JNPR are side characters at this point, since they are closest with RWBY.

>So fleshing out character is wrong?
No one said that. It's who they choose to flesh out that's the problem. You don't name a show after a character then forget that character exists for two seasons because the head writer needs to live out his high school fantasies with the side character.

>>77394765

I'm not one to argue but it really depends what and who you are comparing it to since "it's shit" really is relative.

Merit?

Nudity for nudity's sake?
I think it's also unfair to just clumps the whole writing of a show in a single aspect if they have differing themes to them and what goals they want to achieve in the first place.

This is part of the problem, RWBY get more focus overall, but most of that is plot relevant so it ends up shared with all the other plot characters like the teachers and villains. Between that we've only really got some good moments for Blake and Weiss, and some for Yang.

JNPR screentime, on the other hand, is different. It has it's own plot about Jaune and Pyrrha's relationship with him. So all the focus goes to him.

He isn't because nobody has insisted that RWBY be "about RWBY and RWBY alone". People have insisted that it's poor writing to write almost every other character and work on their backstory before writing out your title, and supposedly main, characters. There is no reason these secondary characters can't get their development either later or alongside the main characters.

>>77395035
You can care about them, that's fine and justified, but saying that they should get all the development over the 'side' characters is dumb, the whole point of beacon is relying on others and watching the dynamic of RWBY with a headstrong leader and making friendships vs the JNPR dynamic of a bad leader having his team help him with his skills and confidence makes for better development over all, plus RWBY has yet to be put in a situation that needs them all to develop, as opposed to the bullying arc that directly effected all of JNPR forcing Jaune to confront his problems with the help of his team. That could have happened with the Blake WF arc, and I don't really know why they didn't have Blake sit down RWY and tell them about it after.

It justifies the lack of development because they have yet to need to develop, but thats okay, because we learned about the team dynamic of RWBY and much more about them quicker than any other team, but people seem to forget that. Also just because I shitposting most of the time doesn't mean I can't make argumentative points too.
