Oh also aside on the Faunus stuff:
Unlike what some of the Internet randos you keep posting hot takes from, hbomberguy is actually amicable in said video.
For goodness' sake, it's "X Is Disappointing" instead of "X Is Garbage" as is usually the case should make it clear the intent is not about being unfair and uncharitable.
Ah yes, opening it with insults about the writers in the first thirty seconds, very amicable, so chill and polite (rolls eyes)
A title does not the product make.
You just said it's "low quality" without specifying how, which is a very bizarre claim to make of Hbomber's videos, which tend to be well polished visually, even if the content isn't to your liking.
This is made funnier by the fact that what follows the 20 minutes you stopped watching is a very well made animated section.
I and many others have outlined why its low quality and been roundly dismissed by you and others who like his video, you're more than free to scroll back through past pages to look at the various reviews to see why I and others feel that way if you like, I'mnot obliged to remake my argument timeserver I want to make an observation when I such posts explaining that were already made on the same day.
I couldn't watch passed that the first 20 minutes is all that got showed to patrons before I was kicked & I don't feel like giving him algorithm boosts just to watch him go "Show bad", "Everyone except Monty Oum and Shane bad!" and "Its ATLA but bad!" over and over again.
- He didn't say that, he said he thought trains were more limited for action scenes and that it resulted in a less good fight than the one in the previous trailers.
- As I said, he could've criticized Monty more, but that doesn't absolve Kerry and Miles.
- "Romantic plotlines" was my shortcut for "weird useless plotlines in which they try to seduce one of the MCs". They still took too much space by... uh... existing, and the seduction attempts can be seen as potentially problematic.
And he's blatantly wrong given fighting atop trains is a popular and exciting thing in action and he failed to in anyway show how it diminished the quality of the trailer. Just saying that isn't enough you actually need an argument to back it up, otherwise is pseudo intellectual jargon, a thesis statement without an essay or sources.
No one said it did, but the fact of the matter is he obviously reverse Monty Oum, even explaining in one of his posts how Monty Oum had inspired him and with his passing it dashed many things in him, this was obviously very personally motivated, not evidence motivated.
Again, this was by and large Monty Oum's idea.
Didn't he apologize over this ?
The link I provided notes he "Apologized" after being loudly and publicly called out and that it was an extremely shit apology.
Fair enough, but then you can't expect us to believe you. And I'm not saying Hbomb is unbiased or that you have to be completely unbiased to criticize him, I'm saying your judgement of the video is dubious due to your personal bias over Hbomb banning you on Patreon, and the fact that you keep only quoting people who agree with you. I also consider those people's judgements to be dubious due to the fact that they already seem angry right after starting the video and the fact that they focus on minor points.
And sorry, but I don't see where he's being rude towards the fans. He's being rude towards the show and very snarky towards the writers, but he doesn't seem to disrespect the fans. As for people using this video to harass fans... well that's not really in his control. I guess he could've put a disclaimer, but the video doesn't seem like "good" harrassing material anyway. Of course, people can always link to it and yell "that's why you're wrong for liking it !" at fans, but that's true for every form of media critique ever made.
You can believe whatever you want, just as I can believe those who have watched his video and say its mostly either done to death topics and badly researched jabs. Again, he's just as biased, why am I being dismissed for bias, but his review isn't?
You mean besides saying he doesn't think anyone has ever thought critically about the show, thinks everyone involved is wasting their time thinks those watching are foolishly clinging onto it hoping it gets good, ETC. The act he knew it would be used as such and still made it is kind of the problem in itself, he was wholly aware alt right jackasses would jump on it so they can use it to justify harassing vulnerable and marginalized fans, but apparently him getting to rant about a show he doesn't like is more important than the real harm people will use his content to do.
Ok, to be clearer, he does state his opinion of the show as a whole, but the rest of the video is specifically to address the issues of vol 1-3.
As for why I'm here, well, I'm a big fan of hbomberguy's work and I agreed with what he said, having been previously disappointed by RWBY myself, and wanted to see what people on SV thought of it. The first posts responding to it derided the video by focusing on a minor point based on second-hand criticism that misrepresented that point, so I wanted to try and defend it.
Yeah, so again, he's using the first three volumes to judge the entire series.
They're not secondhand if the sources come directly from the video.
I don't give a single shit about coding at this point.
Blake's sole romantic interactions when Ilia was introduced were a past relationship with Adam and teasing with Sun. It has been six years. What exactly stopped them from giving Blake and Yang a kiss this season like they did for Ren and Nora? What exactly stopped them from confirming that Clover was gay? What exactly has kept them from giving us the payoff to the implication that the existing cast in 2014 had queer characters in it?
You might as well say "I don't give a shit about show don't tell".
Sun the guy who was super into her but she only kinda vaguely let tag along with her, yeah no that;s not a thing. Also calling what she had with Adam when he groomed her from childhood and abused her a relationship is pretty damned suspect of you. You mean besides the fact they presumably don't want to have it be thrown in as something minor and unimportant but want it to be big and dramatic and, you know, matter plot and character wise because this is a story and that kind of thing matters.
As to Clover there's a good post on this.
So...what, because it was criticised once, it can't ever be again? My criticisms of the show, which you accused of being entirely focused about stuff from seven years ago, are now suddenly not valid even when they're more recent because they're not literally the newest thing?
The point is that its been done to death so its not contributing anything new or worthwhile that others haven't said more succinctly and demonstrates that he's unwilling to acknowledge the show has grown because that goes against his "I don't like it and you shouldn't like it either" narrative.
Yeah, no.
They've gotten better, in the sense that they have more queer characters than they used to. All cis lesbians, by the way, only one of whom is a major character for even a little bit, and the rest of the rep is locked away in side material that I didn't even know existed because I follow the show, not novels or games or whatnot.
You're categorically insisting that interviews are not advertising, despite me explaining exactly how it happens. I've seen this happen. Can you honestly, in good faith, tell me that you feel that some of RWBY's hype doesn't come from teasing queer rep that is then not paid off? I'm not talking about coding, I'm not talking about teasing, I'm not talking about baiting. I'm talking about actual, genuine payoffs, declarations of love, kisses, explicit confirmation on screen in the show itself that characters are queer.
Because that hasn't happened. No major characters are queer. MLM don't exist. Trans characters don't exist. Ace characters don't exist.
Quite frankly if you're going to die on the hill of "advertising must only include actual advertisements and interviews don't count at all" then I'm done.
Wow a show with a women dominated cast and that is about women has WLW rep, color me shocked. Also you not knowing about the novels is your own fault it doesn't erase them from canon or wider series.
You saying it doesn't make it true, also you're awfully judgy on this for a show that isn't even like, half over yet.
Penny is literally trans-coded and also literally trans given the soul aspect. Also May Marigold is Trans so you're either ill informed or lying.
I'm a bisexual man. I'll stay mad about me and other men attracted to men not existing in RWBY, if it's all the same to you.
Your call, but that's you, you don't get to speak for everyone else.
