ah, the hbomberguy RWBY video is out. Just tell me how it goes.
Quinneapolis
it goes with a heavy reverence for Monty Oum and putting a lot of the blame on strained communication between the different parts of the show's leadership rather than one specific person doing a bad job
Quinneapolis
and a lot of discussion of the parts of the series that do work where he can
Beans
all of that is reasonable and true
Beans
already seeing the "rwby is garbage and will always be garbage" people coming out of the woodwork though
Tyra
I know people are gonna be using it as a bludgeon for a long while so. that's fun c_c
Beans
also apparently it only covers the first three volumes?
Beans
so I'm assuming there's going to be more
Tyra
oh god
Lord Nick
Here's something to keep in the bookmarks for whenever somebody decides to use it as ammo. 
Who Cares, Baby?
Beans
god that's a solid reaction video
Beans
and my general mood tbh
Lord Nick
Fucking-- I just looked it up and it's two and a half hours? Who the hell wants to sit through that?
Beans
A lot of people, considering some of the other video essays HB has put out
Beans
Honestly, I'D watch it, if I had the mental fortitude for it
Beans
But no matter how lenient he is on the subject, I'm sure it's going to overall have a sense of "this is bad, and you should think it's bad"
Beans
and I'm going to see it pop up every now and then as definitive proof that RWBY is Bad no matter how it ultimately ends
Lord Nick
You do you, man, but a feature length review of an internet cartoon show is a big ol' pass from me.
Beans
yeah no, that's valid
Beans
many videos like this that are over two hours are typically.... not good
unbound
I mean I haven’t really seen Super Eyepatch Wolf’s video on FFXV getting passed around as evidence that sucks so
unbound
But I think RWBY has a more aggressive hatedom
Lord Nick
People do seem to take this show... weirdly seriously.
Beans
I'm not above being critical of it, even
Beans
but when you hear the same things, over and over.
Lord Nick
Not at all, I have criticisms of it myself (Volume 5, I'm looking at you) but when people are making hours and hours of video just running in circles it's time to step back a bit imo
unbound
I intend to watch it my next overnight since well lmao I have nothing better to do then but I imagine there’s some actual production history and whatnot considering I’ve heard about behind the scenes RT shit popping up on my timeline
unbound
like the one producer who diverted resources from other projects to put them all into his Baby 
Beans
yeah.......
Beans
I'm really hoping if HB makes a continuation into the new volumes, that he puts into account the behind the scenes fiasco that went on during Volume 5
Beans
and what happened with Gray
EsperBot
From the end of his video it doesn’t sound like he has any intention to make a video about the later volumes
EsperBot
And actually explicitly says that he wants to do a video on Monty’s body of work and what he loves about it
Beans
That's good too
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
Yeah the other video is going to just be about Monty and the very last bit at the video has a little message to Monty that actually teared me up
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
He said on streams and in the video itself that he wanted to avoid making a bad faith criticism bc most criticism videos of rwby are dogshit and he just honestly found it an interesting subject to analyze and critique bc there was good stuff in it
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
And he hopes people can learn from its shortcomings to make stuff that’s better
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
I also get the impression that he is also tired himself of the “[blank] is garbage” trend he’s unwittingly created bc on supereyepatchwolf’s charity stream he talked a bit about it and said “I had to try really hard not to make a joke about calling the creator a fascist” referring to that Steven Universe video
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
But yeah it’s not a two hour dunking on it like the Sherlock video, it’s an attempt at a good faith and thoughtful critique bc it’s something interesting to him that he saw potential in, which is how it ended up so long. He even sort of apologizes to the rwby fans who have to deal with all the bad faith criticisms and get why they wouldn’t watch his video
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
Not saying to watch it or that the shitty people coming out of the woodwork don’t suck and that it isn’t tiring to see them talk about it, just that it was not the video I think people expected and the length was not an issue imo
Beans
Yeah I mean, pretty sure while he was trimming and editing the video down it was still called 'RWBY is garbage and heres why' so that didn't help my feelings on the matter
Beans
but HB is definitely one of the few people I'd expect to handle this with a critical eye that tries to look at it more constructively than other people simply looking to tear a easy target apart
Beans
I will probably even sit down to give it a watch
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
Yeah I think that might have been just a temp title in his drafts bc he even addresses in the video that he can’t bring himself to call it garbage even if it’s like his “brand”
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
I can totally see though why it made everyone anxious and was off putting though, especially with the original length
Beans
laughs yup
