In today's "things that would have made scenes in the show more impactful if they were available before": Sienna Khan.
Nice choreography, tho.
Can't help but notice that we've had character shorts for for WBY, and now Adam... :thinking:
It wasn't a Ruby short. It featured Ruby, yes, but it had really nothing to do with her. It's even just called "Volume 4 Character Short".

Each of the named character shorts also fill in a bit about their titular character's backstories, which the Volume 4 short... doesn't.
yeah what an asshole, lolIt goes without saying, but Adam is such a piece of shit. I was swearing a lot during that manipulative little chat he was having with Blake. Fucker.
Sienna Khan had such a cool design. It was nice to actually be able to see her in action.

Actions scenes in that short were excellent. I hope it is a testament to their skills improving, and that next season will have better fight scenes (because aside from the Maiden Bowl, fight scenes last season were subpar).
i had the same thoughtFor whatever reason, seems like the majority of the best fights have been in the shorts rather than the actual episodes, lol.

Because a lot of time and resources got put into them. Thats why there is only one short this year, to make the actual show up to snuff.
but lack of fight animation is one of the big problems with the LAST season :(That said, RvB has been using less fight animation the last two seasons, so that might help.
Possibly, but the animator pool is also going to be split with Gen:lock.

we don't need more reasons to have fights happen offscreen
That short was maybe the first time Adam seemed like an actual character and not just a garbage waste of polygons (to be clear, you can be an asshole AND an engaging character but for the most part Adam hasn't been).
Also whoever decided it was a good idea to kill of Sierra in the main series as soon as she was introduced to make Adam look more "badass" should be fired. The more time passes the clearer it is that was a fucking stupid idea.
They wrote the script before she got her design... and when they did, there was a resounding "well fuck" moment the entire team had. Because they knew her design was $$$
I'm sure if there's enough demand that there could be a workaround of sorts to bring her back. Maybe she faked her death somehow? Could be semblance related.
Finally watched the short this morning. My thoughts are:
1. Fuck Adam. I'm glad they portrayed him the way they did. The Blake scene had me on edge. Ugh
2. Sienna was a waste of a character in that her design is so cool, I wish she got more time on the show.
3. I forgot how much I dislike the ~fantasy racism~ subplot.
Also I miss the show...
i have no idea what they're going to do with volume 6
it feels like blake, yang, and weiss have all kind of reached the end of long-term character arcs at this point
are we finally going to get some movement on Ruby after two volumes of almost nothing? her going to atlas and meeting penny's creator could be a good way to push her forward I guess
I also feel like this volume needs to come out swinging from an action perspective, but it feels like there's a lot of setup that needs to be done before they get moving again
(Watches new RWBY Chibi)
Was wondering when this joke would happen.
Getting pretty meta this season.
You talking about the dreams one? Or the Penny one?
Because yeah, they've kinda gone the self deprecating, oddball route a lot of cartoon shows like Gumball and Sonic Boom have went.
God I hope not. And honestly I don't see it going that way, especially with how he's portrayed in his Character Short.That thread in OT asking if no heinous character is beyond redemption has me wondering if maybe Rooster Teeth might be planning some sort of redemption arc for Adam. His revolution failed. The White Fang's in shambles now. He's hit rock bottom at this point. I don't expect it to happen, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of it either. It'll take a lot to make it convincing since it's, you know, Adam.
No thank you.That thread in OT asking if no heinous character is beyond redemption has me wondering if maybe Rooster Teeth might be planning some sort of redemption arc for Adam.

Hey so long as Mercury loses his legs for real I'm good.
...Why does Salem have so many Punk-Bitches for Henchmen..? Honestly the likes of Adam and Mercury seem very Bottom-of-the-Barrel as far as "Psychos who will work for monsters that want to destroy the world" go.

So I think most saw this coming but here's the official announcement.
Yeah I don't blame them on that though I hope they advertise the shit out of it for their showsYup. Trying to push more traffic back to the main site since YouTube is increasingly becoming worse/less reliable st generating revenue for creators.
I just hope I remember to actually go to rooster teeth's site every week
it's not like on youtube where the stuff just shows up in my recommendations anyway
