Thought they were dead for a while now.
I knew they expanded a little when Machinima went belly up.and taking some of those that worked there but they've been silent since some of them got shown as sex freaks just fortunately not in a pedo way.
They seemed to be another one unable to change with the times and can't remember if it was the same way as the Escapist where corporate bosses stifled any chance to change.
I don’t think it’s a ‘changing with the times’ thing so much as social media opening up the floodgates of competition and people realizing they weren’t very funny but were just there. All of the popular web comic type things of that era were pretty similar. Penny Arcade was probably the biggest. Actual titans in the industry at one point. Never hear anybody mention them anymore and haven’t for a long time.
Reading up on what happened to the old popular game webcomics actually is kind of hilarious, like the VGCats guy. Ended up getting divorced and drawing furry porn of his characters to pay the bills and had a melt down over it or something.
Bro. That's sad. He's probably to blame for some of that but I wouldn't wish it on anyone
Yea, fuck 'em: https://twitter.com/RoosterTeeth/status/1296937625467662336
Bye 👋
But how will RWBYs absolute trainwreck continue now? Especially when they ended on a cliffhanger with so many things in the world unresolved?
Probably for the best that cliffhanger doesn't get resolved
Monty Oum deserved better
Monty's death is one of the best proofs that women are capable of selfish evils on a level most men can't even comprehend.
didn't he die from a hospital accident?
Ask yourself. Why does every post and report about it make sure to specify very generally and vaguely that it was a "simple medical procedure" that killed him? How often does reporting across every possible site and discussion always use the exact same wording and phrases that are exactly the same amount of non-descript, completely devoid of meaning phrasing when its not being used to form a narrative and obscure something?
The hospital accident wouldn't have occurred if he wasn't on the tail end of months of being forced to have a cat despite a deathly allergy (because his girlfriend would have been sad without her baby :( ) and taking constant excessive medication to counter that.
The two ways I've seen the story go, because its impossible to get a clear answer because they spammed the Narrative everywhere, is that he was either extremely weak to a point where something that shouldn't have got him got him or he had an allergic reaction trigger as a response to all the other allergy meds he was taking in excessive amounts that wasn't expected or accounted for, which is what I've heard the most repeated.
By falling off the cliff
IP might get sold and some old staff may be picked up so there's a real possibility of RWBY continuing to shamble like an animated corpse like it did since Vol 3.
I don't even remember what they were all about. When Machinima exploded they got a bit of a spike in popularity, but I can't remember a single thing they've done.
Red vs Blue, back in the day. That was them.
Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that. That was like 15 years ago though.
There was also RWBY, some kind of anime-esque action series with cell shaded 3D characters. I never saw it, but it's got a large following. I heard the quality went down the toilet after the guy who started it died from an allergic reaction to a routine medical procedure, also they fired Vic Mignogna from a voice role after the cancel crusade was launched against him. Mainly what I knew that company for was their video game content. They got ahead on that kind of thing, their videos 10 years ago easily got a million views a piece. But they started self censoring, brought in 'talent' that checked diversity boxes, and their views steadily dropped. Last I checked their videos barely pulled 10k views.
Yep, that's what happened to RWBY. Tragic story of a passion project IP with a lot of heart. The battle scenes downgraded almost immediately after Monty Oum died, and when they decided to make a fun Hogwarts-esque setting into a boring quest to save the world, the writing died as well. Then the lesbian shipping finished it off.
Lesbian's squatting in the wreck of a world? Surprising.
That's the cover story, because the real one makes a certain person look really bad and they didn't want to be cancelled.
He was getting fucked up because his girlfriend demanded her cat live with them despite his severe allergy to them, and the hospital visit went south because he was heavily medicated trying to control his daily major allergic reactions. Its not super clear the exact chain of events because the story is extremely controlled to protect his girlfriend. That's why literally everyone says its a "simple medical procedure" in that exact NPC way.
So saying he died of "routine medical stuff" is like saying a kid died tragically in surgery while ignoring he was only in surgery because he was fucking shot.
Medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the US.
Yeah, but going into a doctor's office with an extremely weakened and struggling system because you are basically OD'ing daily on meds to try and combat a deathly allergy that you are trying to live with, because your girlfriend doesn't give a shit about your suffering and needs her cat, turns it from "malpractice" to "what did you expect would happen?"
why the fuck did he accept that instead of just breaking up with a girlfriend who clearly didn't care about his wellbeing. ?
Monty was one of those pure goodhearted naive creative types that do incredible work but are easy to take advantage of
Because he was a literal cinnamon roll too pure for this ugly world.
I used to watch this with my sons. Then it got boring, we knew exactly when the man died work wise.
Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten a whole lot of this stuff. It was a tertiary thing while a lot other things had my attention, so I didn't look into it too deep.
My friend got me into RWBY. He said don't even bother with the 9th season because it's horrible and they wokeifed the characters.
Honestly, everything after Season 3 is an absolutely crapshoot. It is scraps of actually decent fights and potential lore, sandwiched between mountains of "What the fuck are you talking about?!" and dumb plots. Also a chronic case of the head writer (who is the most soy of boy you have ever seen) deciding that Team RWBY are always right, and giving any character who the audience decides has a point of RWBY being given the idiot ball to make RWBY right again (I will never forgive them for ruining my boy Ironwood).
Lolol perfect
The non-Monty parts of Season 3 were mediocre at best, sadly.
PANICS

Did they ever finish Red vs. Blue? I think I've only seen up to season 9, but I've heard some time after that it turned into complete woke garbage.
They "finished" it with like Season 10, and it's a good stopping spot. But then GOTTA MAKE MORE and they turned it into a zombie. So it's officially never ended but there is a noticeable point where it was meant to end and you can stop there and ignore what comes after.
That's such a sad fate. I loved Red vs Blue. Just one more case of people not being able to let a good thing end I suppose.
I still remember downloading the videos and watching it on divx or some shit in 2003 and busting a gut with my friends. Holy shit, that was 20 years ago... I was young can drink a case of beer a night. Now I'm old and eating spicy food makes me feel like I've been stabbed like Caesar.
Never watched past season 2 or 3, it kinda just petered out. Maybe this weekend I'll load it up on youtube and hoist a Bass ale and go down memory lane.
DivX...God I feel old now.
I thought they turned it into a Netflix series.
I didn't really like anything after the OG RWBY artist died.
Monty Oum. When he died, RWBY slowly turned into “As the World Turns, Gay Edition.”
Holy shit, I've never been to glad to call it quits before I reached the end.
Everyone who was decent left. They had some really cool series! The Geoff’s liberal wife left him when he was super vulnerable, and everyone caved to woke bullshit.
Funhaus was hilarious, but Adam was a cheater who liked to masturbate in the office on camera.
Yea I gotta feel bad for Geoff dude got fucked almost got me too and his wife cucked him the last half their marriage then became a only fans ho
Funny how RT died becoming the very thing they used to make fun of.
Good fucking riddance
See these towhooks? They look like tusks. Now what kind of animal has tusks?
A walrus.
This is another case of something coming to
and[an] end that I thought had already ended. I thought RT shut down in 2021. Am I being Mandela Effected here?Um. Ok. I don't care, except enough to leave a parting fart. 💨
It's a perfect fit!
Finally they'll become like their name sake.
