I'm not who you think I am, RWBY is a shit show for stupid people and the recent "Half the RWBY team is DLC in a game that's half DLC" bullshit exposed what it truly is, a marketing campaign to sell merch while using Monty's corpse to deflect criticism.

I will rant on this for hours if you bring RWBY up again.

I'm pretty new to Fimfiction and came across these while looking for first contact stories. It's a long arc, over 500k words between the two main stories and kept me up all night reading a few times. Grimderp/realistic crossover with XCOM.

> Isolated from her friends and taken prisoner in the middle of a war, Twilight must deal with the very real dangers of being percieved as an enemy as well as the nightmares of her arrival on 'Earth'.

https://www.fimfiction.net/story/100455/stardust

Short interlude:
> Twilight has finally returned home from (mild spoilers omitted)
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/186104/broken

Short-ish triple crossover fic:
> When Equestria’s newest member of royalty asks for aid to be offered to her friends from abroad, the best and the brightest volunteer to serve.
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/174972/fortitude-amicitia

Sequel:
> Times are changing for Equestria as Twilight’s return brings with it news of people and cultures from beyond the peaceful world everypony knows. Aid and volunteers are freely offered to help the besieged humans of Earth because every Equestrian knows that’s what good friends do. Unfortunately, making friends can also have the unintended consequence of making enemies.

I don't believe in coincidences.
But whatever, it's fine.

Okay, back on topic, here is my contribution.
A shitpost story (of course).

Favorite green right now is probably "Everyday Life with Guardsmares". Slice-of-life from the point of view of the bodyguards of Anonymous, By Appointment to Their Majesties Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, Royal Engineer.
The story centers around the four OCs and does not involve canon characters much. Great worldbuilding, and also includes some pretty well done elements on the My Little Progress theme as well as (obviously) AiE. Updates fairly often.

RWBY wants to be the lovechild of Naruto, Soul Eater, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. That's what Monty wanted it to be.

The tards he hired to write it? They want it to be "An Epic", a big story with magic wizards giving powers to people and creating Maidens and whatnot.

Nobody involved has any talent, unfortunately. Not even Monty, who only rips off old movies using Gmod or SFM or whatever the fuck he used for dead fantasy. When the conductor died, the trainwreck got worse. Tournament arcs were attempted and fucked up. Character depth was attempted and fucked up.

The soyboys who wrote this gave pointless extra scenes to characters voiced by their girlfriends at the expense of worldbuilding worth a damn and multiple characters also worth a damn. Jaune's aura was never unlocked despite living with other warriors because potatoes, Jaune was able to fake his way into Beacon without aura because potatoes, and Jaune is asking for exposition dumps when he lives in this world and should be giving them out to someone like Ruby on command because potatoes.

These soyboys also think "Anime is a genre", which is like thinking "Animation is a genre" and trying to create the offspring of Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, Simpsons, and Family Guy. You're left with a shit attempt at copying everything on the shallowest surface level. You get a show with bootleg homer simpson, bootleg shaggy and scooby, bootleg bart, and so on. Like how RWBY has bootleg Aang, bootleg "any soondere ever", Barbara "Funniest woman alive who certainly wasn't hired for diversity or titties" Lastname only as a character, bootleg Princess Yue, and bootleg Sokka. And the Maidens crap, which is bootleg Avatar but the chosen one status can be chosen because reasons.

Nothing in this lazy massively-profitable show was thought out, because it's trying to be charmingly shit while trying to trick you into thinking it's amazingly written. It wants to trick you into thinking you're watching that generic shonen anime you dreamed of making when you were ten, and you're somehow doing the west and anime industry a favor by buying into this shit.

This whole show is a lazy jew ploy to sell the anime fandom's "Favourite" cliches back to it, along with toys, cologne, and tiny models of said cliches personified. Its one redeeming quality, "Good fight scenes", left when Monty died and every fight became storyboarded mindless reaction-shot-infested jewshit.

To be fair that's an established business model in Japan too, and if it wasn't for otaku wasting money on stupid merchandise the anime industry probably would have gone belly up 20 years ago.

Beyond that though you actually make some good points, although I personally think RWBY is okay for what it is.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about so I guess I'll just keep plugging fics until someone reads them. This one came out of a joke prompt that unexpectedly spawned a new general. It's also on topic for /mlpol/ so you might have seen it already. Realism and politics and that sort of thing.

What is it, then? What standards do you have to judge it by before it can actually meet those standards?

As an anime, it fails. As a western cartoon, it fails. As a story in its own right, it fails. As a mindless b-movie joke that exists solely for fight scenes, it fails. As a fanmade mini-animation, it already fails because it was a big-budget low-effort commercialized shitshow right from the start. As an auteur-driven creative project, it fails because its creator, the child who just wanted to make pretty fight scenes, handed all writing duties over to two incompetent amnesiac hacks who've only ever done comedy before. The fights, scenes of talking like idiots, and all the show's stolen elements clash with one another painfully because nobody in the production team understands why any single element in this shit show worked in better shows.

Naruto and Jojo have better fight scenes. Kung Fury, Avatar, and Naruto have cooler fight scenes. Avatar has better animation and a brilliant story, and better characters.

RWBY is an animated series that sucks balls.

I personally prefer Over the Garden Wall and Samurai Jack, but to each his own. You'd be surprised how many sane and reasonable people like "kids' shows," but it's retards from Deviantart and Tumblr who ruin it. Cartoons are an art form, like it or not.
