Ozpin keeps his allies in the dark about a ton of information that ends up leading to them distrusting him and even turning on him, as well leaving Ozpin having no one to rely on wholly but himself which leaves for a very limited perspective for strategies and mounting pressure.ĭescribing Ironwood as having a support network is perhaps not wholly accurate, but Winter and the Ace-Ops fill that role in a sense of the word, but are all effectively just obedient lackey's who don't question his decisions, or provide any kind of real comfort and this means they can't see him breaking down & refuse to question his decisions or acknowledge the consequences of them. Qrow keeps his at an arms length and suffers for it, only beginning to turn his life around when he's sort of left with no choice but to be around them with no way to keep his walls up. Salem had no one except Ozpin and basically shattered when he died leading her down an increasingly desperate path to get him back, warping her into a monster. Like, if we take all the adults good and bad, most of their problems can be tied back at least in part to their relationship or none existent one with support networks. I'll give it a go, but I don't have high hopes.Ĭlick to shrink.This is an excellent point, people make a big hullabaloo about RT "Selling out" but the early seasons were done when still alone and what's more their first try, it doesn't mean one should gloss over critique (I wrote more than my fair share of it in the past) But so many seem to refuse to acknowledge the circumstances and context in which something was made which is annoyingly unfair and created an incredibly skewed perception.Īnyway, apropos of nothing, a thing I really enjoy about RWBY is an underlying theme about the importance of support networks. So against my better judgement, I'll watch the video at some point, tonight if I can manage. People have good reason to be defensive, but being so defensive can lead to issues when someone makes a point. It's just.silly I guess? Context matters for critique.īut as has been mentioned already, we're in the poisoned well. RWBY is, at the end of the day, a relatively small web series created by a small company and more than a few people seem to treat it as if it was supposed to be the next decade-defining TV show made by a major network and attack it as such. It's just that, especially when people talk of what could have been, you run straight into the issue of your brain creating a story or standard that could never be met or was never intended to be met. Like, sure, you can argue things could have been done better, things needed more development or better explanation or better execution and I'd agree with you, most likely. The problem with a lot of RWBY criticism, and I say this as someone who got involved around season six, is that it's.weirdly harsh in places. So please, everyone endeavor to actually respect the other's arguments, and even if you strongly disagree with them please stay civil and mindful when it comes to responding to others. What that means is that any future infractions will result in a weeklong boot from the thread, and repeated offenders will likely be permanently removed. So! As of now the thread is in a higher state of moderation. We want it to stop happening in this thread. That tends to happen a lot in this thread. However, there's just a point where it gets to be a bit too much, and arguments about whether or not Ironwood was morally justified in his actions in the recent Volume, or if RWBY and her team were in the right for withholding information from Ironwood out of distrust, or whatever flavor of argument of the day descend into insulting other posters, expressing a demeaning attitude towards other's opinions, and just being overall unpleasant. We're not going to stop people from doing that, because that's literally what the point of the thread is. And I get that the last Volume - and RWBY in general, really - has some controversial moments that people will want to discuss, argue about, debate, etc. A lot of it is just a series of people yelling at each other over arguments that have been rehashed hundreds of times since the end of the recent Volume. We get a lot of reports from this thread. So gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
