Why the World Was Better Off Without Rooster Teeth and RWBY

Let’s not pretend this is about nitpicking animation frames or a few weak episodes. This is about a studio that promised innovation and community-driven storytelling — and instead delivered regression, identity confusion, and corporate pandering disguised as creativity. At the center of this implosion? RWBY. But yet the world was better off without Rooster Teeth and because Burnie wants it back so badly, he couldn't even let it go and move on with his life. But for rwby and still am upset with Viz Media 

The Death of Indie Authenticity

→ “From Garage to Corporate Graveyard”

Rooster Teeth used to be about grassroots creativity.

Red vs. Blue was lightning in a bottle — funny, raw, community-built.

But when they “scaled up,” they sold out. It became about merch pipelines and media deals over storytelling.

Crunch culture, internal scandals, HR disasters — this wasn't a company with flaws, it was a company built on ignoring them.

RWBY’s Legacy of Failure

→ “Style Over Substance — and Even the Style Got Worse”

RWBY began as a visual spectacle with Monty Oum’s kinetic animation. But it had one major flaw: no one knew how to write.

After Monty’s passing, the soul left the show. RT mishandled the series like a clumsy child with a glass sword.

Retcons. Inconsistencies. Plot threads dropped like bad habits. Characters written for Tumblr clout rather than narrative cohesion.

Pushing shipping wars and identity politics became more important than stakes or worldbuilding.

You can't build a compelling universe when your writers are rewriting it mid-season just to score social points.

 The Corporate Rot

→ “Community-Driven in Name Only”

Rooster Teeth weaponized its community — for free labor, for blind loyalty, for financial support they didn’t earn.

Merch lines, conventions, spinoffs — all to keep the brand afloat while the content quality tanked.

Fans who criticized were banned or buried. Constructive feedback? Brushed off unless you were a verified influencer. Take a look at Barbara Arryn Edd Miles Kerry and the folks at rooser teeth. 

At some point, it wasn’t about making something cool anymore. It was about pushing an image and maintaining brand synergy — even if the soul was dead.

Why We’re Better Off Without Them

→ “When a Giant Falls, Something New Can Grow”

Creators are no longer beholden to Rooster Teeth to break into animation.

Indie animators, VTubers, YouTubers, and small collectives are producing better content — without the baggage.

RWBY’s failure taught everyone what not to do: don’t ignore your audience, don’t substitute message for story, and don’t forget why you started.

RT fading into irrelevance isn’t a loss — it’s an opportunity for the real creatives to rise.

The Enablers and Echo Chamber: Naming Names

If RWBY fell apart, it wasn’t just because of poor direction or burnout — it was because the people involved refused to course-correct. They either didn't understand the criticism, willfully ignored it, or doubled down on mediocrity. Let’s break it down.

Kerry Shawcross

Let’s be blunt: Kerry went from Monty’s apprentice to RWBY's biggest liability.

He’s not a storyteller. He’s a fanfic-tier plotter at best — one who had years to learn and didn’t.

From bland dialogue to character arcs that go nowhere, Kerry kept failing upward, safe behind a shield of “well, he’s trying.”

The man couldn’t even handle V9’s pacing or tone, and now V10 looks like it’s been stitched together with duct tape and VTube filters.

Miles Luna

Used to be the fandom’s golden boy — now he’s the symbol of soft retcon and soft writing.

Spent more time making jokes on panels and loving the sound of his own voice than actually developing tight scripts.

His emotional arcs (Yang’s trauma, Blake’s redemption) were either unresolved or shoved into shipping fuel for internet points.

Left the show, came back, ghosted it again. What was the plan? Did he ever have one?

Eddy Rivas

Mr. “Lore Matters”—except when it doesn’t.

Built the World of Remnant, then smashed its internal logic to favor whatever Season X flavor he was pushing.

Vacuo was undercooked, Atlas was a tonal disaster, and don’t even get started on Cinder’s convoluted mess of a backstory.

Tried to play it serious, but when V9 asked for emotional clarity, Eddy delivered a PowerPoint presentation on how to ruin payoff.

The Fan Gurus and Gatekeepers

These weren’t just critics or fans — they were corporate guard dogs who helped suppress criticism and uphold Rooster Teeth’s fragile image.

CanonSeeker (or whatever his latest handle is)

Chronically online. Weaponizes lore to invalidate critique.

Makes 40-minute videos arguing that you just “don’t understand RWBY's deeper meanings.”

Translation: If you don’t like it, you're either wrong or not intelligent enough. Classic gaslighting.

MurderOfBirds

Once positioned as a “fan voice,” but turned full-on PR mouthpiece.

Critique died the day he got flown out to RTX.

Has a badge of access, not a badge of truth — and that access costs honesty.

Calxiyn and TheRWBYStyle

Shippers before storytellers.

Turned their platforms into sanctuaries for “safe discourse,” which means anything that doesn’t rock the RWBY boat.

Ignored writing flaws, called out fans for “toxicity,” but never once checked the writers’ failure to deliver.

RobinRising

Built clout on the backs of fan theorists, then turned around and mocked the critics the second it got real.

Obsessed with being right. Never interested in listening. Typical shill so calm and no idea if he ever respond to a criticism of rwby or himself. 

And Then Came Crunchyroll + V9/V10

Let’s talk about Crunchyroll's "rescue". RWBY didn’t get a revival — it got a plastic surgery disaster.

Volume 9 was marketed as deep and philosophical — instead, we got Alice in Wonderland meets a college improv class.

Characters regressed, pacing was glacial, and the ending? Just a setup for more product placement in Volume 10.

Now V10 is being delayed, reworked, and previewed in chunks. This isn’t hype — this is content triage.

To the Fans Who Feel Burned Like I Did: You’re not toxic. You’re not entitled.

You’re just someone who expected the show to respect your time, your passion, and the characters it introduced. If the creators couldn’t handle that? That’s not on you. Don’t let echo chambers and YouTube shills convince you that you’re the problem. You’re not. They are RWBY isn’t a tragedy because it ended. It’s a tragedy because it could’ve been great — and instead, it became a masterclass in what happens when creativity bows to cowardice.

Final Advice: Fandoms, Discords, and the Myth of “Constructive Positivity” Word of advice. Be the Lone Wolf. Own Your Voice. In today’s fandom climate, honest critique is treated like heresy. You speak your mind, and a dozen bootlickers will rush in with lore PDFs, emotional guilt-tripping, or smug lectures about “letting people enjoy things.” But here’s the truth: you’re not toxic for wanting better. You’re not negative for pointing out when a story falls apart. You’re a lone wolf because you see through the fog. And that’s powerful. You know who you are.

Yes, you — the one who replied to my post that lectures me all the time and never shuts up.

You're the type of fandom’s hall monitor that comes after my post or when I post a link, if I were you pal, don't bother. Maybe I expect someone else than you and don't come up and lecture me and say be positive or neutral, no forget it. Every fandom has to be so toxic. Being alone is better, or if you don't feel like being alone, then move on with your life. 

Next time someone critiques the show, maybe don’t throw academic fanfiction at them like it’s gospel. Sometimes, the best move is to just shut up and listen. And To Everyone Else Still Clinging to RWBY’s Sinking Ship: I get it. RWBY mattered. It had potential. It was fresh, it was bold, and it carried Monty Oum’s heart and soul. But Rooster Teeth killed that spark. The writing collapsed. The worldbuilding imploded. The show became a brand, not a story. And those of us who spoke up? We got labeled toxic, rude, or not real fans. But here’s the thing: We were right. And we still are. This blog isn’t about being bitter. It’s about being honest. RWBY had a chance to become something iconic — and instead, it became a blueprint for how not to run a show, a studio, or a fandom. So if you’re done pretending, done accepting crumbs, and done being gaslit by corporate storytelling and fandom influencers? Or follow those cosplayers who agree with a company and wants you too maybe don't some of them aren't what they use to be. 

Welcome to the pack.

A sky full of stars

Ok, so this track from Coldplay, from what i remember before, was like hearing it from childhood that i used to listen before and i have heard of Coldplay before like viva va track that gives me memories of my childhood from 2008-2010s This alone gives me memories of 2010 that i have. Probably my second favorite from Coldplay. 

RWBY Volume 10: A Disaster Waiting to Happen - Why a Reboot Is the Only Way Forward

RWBY has been a rollercoaster of potential and missteps. And now with the latest buzz surrounding Volume 10 and the so-called "early writing and planning," I have to say it outright: this isn't hope—this is desperation.

I don't care how many cosplay influencers, shill accounts, or corporate voices try to spin this as a great return. Volume 10 is not a triumphant continuation. It's the final stretch of a once-promising IP being dragged over the finish line by a studio—Viz Media—that might not even have the full resources or a confirmed animation studio to make this happen properly.

Let me ask: Where's the budget? Where's the confirmed studio? Who's funding this? Hulu is a streaming platform, not a production house. Unless Viz Media has millions saved up from overpriced merch and re-releases (which I doubt), we're looking at a project being run on fumes.

And then there’s the question of voice acting. Outside of Japan, RWBY has no real dub support. Viz would either need to license out dubs to other countries or risk alienating audiences with AI voiceovers, which is already controversial in many countries. This doesn’t look like growth—it looks like corner-cutting.

Let’s not forget the writing itself. Volume after volume, we've seen Kerry and Miles fumble with lore, character arcs, and basic structure. Penny, Pyrrha, Adam, CFVY, even Ruby—all these characters deserved more. Instead, we got Bumbleby shoved down our throats not because it was well-written, but because it pandered to a subset of the fandom.

This isn’t representation. This is exploitation. It's merch-driven narrative dressed up as diversity.

A reboot is not just necessary. It's the only way to redeem this franchise:

New VAs.

New writers.

New creative leadership.

Keep the concept, but fix the execution.

RWBY could have been the next Avatar: The Last Airbender. Instead, it's becoming a cautionary tale in how to alienate your fanbase and crash an IP with great potential.

Let the cosplayers, shills, and content creators who thrive off this mess celebrate Volume 10. But don’t say we didn’t warn you when it all falls apart.

Reboot RWBY. Or bury it.

End of story.

RWBY on Hulu: A Streaming Deal Isn’t a Revival

Let’s get something straight.

RWBY being added to Hulu on July 5th is not the win some fans are pretending it is. It’s not a resurrection, not a greenlight for Volume 10, and certainly not a revival of Rooster Teeth's original vision. It’s just reruns.

1. Streaming Isn’t Production

Viz Media is testing RWBY’s back catalog on streaming platforms like Hulu. This doesn’t signal any sort of production deal. It means Viz is looking for a return on what they already own. That’s it. Putting a series on Hulu is standard business when a company wants to milk residuals.

There is no confirmed studio attached to Volume 10. No director. No animator. No public funding or campaign to get it going. And certainly no crew like Miles Luna, Kerry Shawcross, or the classic VA lineup committing to a future season.

2. Don’t Fall for the Copium

We’re in an age where hope sells more than reality. The RWBY fandom is still reeling from the disbandment of Rooster Teeth and the fallout of Volume 9's reception. Some folks cling to the idea that Viz is secretly planning Volume 10, and the Hulu drop is step one.

It’s not. It’s called content dumping. Many companies throw their older IPs onto platforms to recoup losses or test engagement. That doesn’t equal greenlighting an expensive new volume.

3. Anime Expo Bait?

Some fans speculate this was announced before Anime Expo to hint at a bigger reveal. Maybe. But if a Volume 10 was actually happening, wouldn’t that be the big headline at the expo? Instead, we got a Hulu re-release.

If there’s a reveal coming, great. But don’t bank on a fully funded production. At best, we might get a manga. At worst, more delays and vague statements.

4. A Reboot Is Still the Best Option

RWBY is a burned-out brand. From poor pacing, divisive storytelling, to excessive pandering (yes, Bumbleby and shallow symbolism included), it alienated a large portion of its fanbase. If Viz truly wants to revive it, they need to reboot it:

New writers

New voice actors

Drop Kerry, Miles, Lindsay, Barbara, Kara, and Arryn

Reimagine the story with actual structure

Focus less on fandom-pleasing ships and more on coherent worldbuilding

5. Where Is the Money Going?

Viz isn’t rolling in endless cash. Outsourcing to a proper studio for V10 would cost big. If they don’t have a reliable partner (MAPPA? Studio Trigger?), then who’s footing the bill? Hulu? Doubt it.

Final Thoughts

Let’s stop pretending a streaming deal is a new beginning. RWBY on Hulu is a corporate move, not a creative one. Until Viz or a legitimate studio announces funding, staff, and direction, there is no Volume 10. Just echoes of what could’ve.  

You want to know what the real move is? A reboot.

Start from scratch. New voice cast. New creative direction. Scrap the old CRWBY. Kick Miles, Kerry, and the rest out of the picture. The brand is damaged. The story meandered, characters got butchered, and the fanbase splintered after pandering and tone-deaf decisions. Bumbleby may have been the breaking point, but it’s been a slow decline. A reboot gives RWBY a chance to win people back. Give it to a new team with actual passion and vision. Adapt it as a manga first. Let it breathe.

And yeah — I’m sure those who’ll laugh it off will reply back saying “reboot ain’t gonna happen” or think they’re right or wrong just because they claim to have “knowledge” or a “source.” But guess what? Clinging to the old mess is just asking for disaster. If you don’t want a reboot, that’s your disaster to enjoy. Because a reboot is the only option left.

Let Hulu have the reruns. Let the old cast fade. It’s time to rebuild from the ground up — or just let RWBY die a slow death.

I said what I said.

My cat was put to rest

Hello all so I know I've been so much busy mainly with work and just dont have the time or got distracted too but the reason why I'm writing this is that my cat lisa was put to rest and I haven't felt like myself for quite awhile and just not in the mood for writing and I haven't this in awhile. You see I got Lisa when I was 15 after my other cat had a heart attack and we buried him and later on August 2015 went by and September it was but the 15 and we got lisa and she was the sweetest cat to ever have and she's been with us up until today and I felt like she's was nicest and sweetest cat to have. 

Than came today but she wasn't feel alright this month and my mom and I found lisa hiding under the bed we knew something was wrong and we took her the vet but she had heart failure so we put her down now I have ratchet. As of writing this I dont know if I'll still write or will be taking some time off cause I feel like it and just wanna grief I did had plans to publish more posts but since I gotten busy and my cat was put down I feel like I need to take some time off maybe a month or two I can't say when I'll be back.

Lisa thank you for everything you were the sweetest cat to have. Now I have left is ratchet.

What are the cameras that i really want

Okay after watching some old videos from the 2000s and this film call zero day that this the director name ben coccio and he use Sony DCR-TRV 900 3-chip Mini DV, and Sony Digital 8 Camera s i thought of using it too for my youtube content no idea what it could be maybe vlogging or doing some fan made work while doing my comic book series but look at other alternatives. 

Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II or III:

These compact cameras are popular among vloggers due to their portability, great image quality, and a flip-up screen. The Mark III version also has live streaming capabilities.

Sony HDR-CX405:

A very affordable camcorder with decent video quality, image stabilization, and a long battery life. It's not as high-end as other options, but it's great for basic YouTube videos.

Logitech C920 HD Pro Webcam:

If you're recording from your computer, a good webcam like the Logitech C920 is a solid choice for basic streams, tutorials, or sit-down videos. It's much cheaper than a dedicated camera and offers 1080p video.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7:

A great entry-level mirrorless camera that offers 4K video recording at a lower price. It also has a flip-out screen and is a solid choice for anyone serious about starting a YouTube channel on a budget.

But i did look at canon eos m50 mark 2 and sony zv-1. So maybe i might use them but i'm more of a old school guy and use old tech cameras sometimes newer cameras are alright but i haven't yet try it and maybe go and see at staples and best buy around my area. I look through 2000s camera maybe 98 and 99 cameras not much else and decided to look at the cameras that were use in zero day and while watching the opening and thought wow imagine if i had a camera setup and speak directly to the camera and talk of other things of my content and who i am i did try this on my camera from my computer but eh not much and same on my laptop and phone but awful so delete unless it's lost media. So whatever happens i might get one and see for myself later on.
