In a world where gods and deities clamor their endless lives to advertise themselves to the world.
Jesus Christ sits in a drum at the end of an old road, overgrown and overrun by the wild, and says,
"narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
The whole idea that it’s we, the watchers of RWBY, who are wrong for not supplying the show with the things they didn’t show, (”The writers are trusting you to know that obviously the characters are training and growing off-screen,” “Obviously Yang told everyone what actually happened with Raven off-screen, so everyone who’s saying that she lied are really just watching in bad faith,” “RWBY doesn’t have to show you characters connecting or talking to each other, it’s obvious that they’re super close anyway,” “The characters aren’t underdeveloped, you just don’t want to look at what’s there and build on that,” “What people don’t understand is that RWBY is a slow burn,” “What people don’t understand is that RWBY is Hope!Punk,” ect. ect.) is kind of a wonky way of thinking.
Like sure, there’s a suspension of disbelief, but put enough weight on that, and the whole thing falls apart.
The thing that snags me on this like the paper towel from the Last Day of Summer episode of Phineas and Ferb is that it’s an open admission that there are things that you need to know in order for the show to make sense, and it’s not there.
It feels like RWBY was a TV show adaptation of a book franchise that a lot of people didn’t read, and everyone who is telling us that we’re purposely missing things that aren’t ever shown to us, have read all of the hypothetical books that we haven’t and are telling us that if we read the books, everything would make sense, but the books were never written.
This isn’t even the MCU relying on the audience to not only watch all of their films in order to know anything about what’s happening and also to watch the Agents of Shield TV show, because RWBY doesn’t have info-dumps in a spin-off TV show. (There’s an unrelated book series which I won’t pay money to read because I’m broke and I haven’t looked for a free way to read it because I don’t want to read punching bag!Sun)
Listen, the first DC movie I ever watched was the 2017 Justice League movie. It was terrible for first time viewers. Apparently, it was terrible for DC fans too, but this isn’t about that. I struggled to know who some of the characters were, there was like, a fifteen minute montage at the start of the film about how everyone missed and needed Superman, there were weird one-liners from the characters, everyone was underdeveloped and disconnected from their actual mission, there were onscreen deaths of characters that I didn’t know, and weird allusions to things that I’m confident were from past movies, but I didn’t have the necessary knowledge to watch a hyped up box-office mainstream movie, because I didn’t know my homework.
And I genuinely think that that’s better than RWBY because at least it was written down somewhere.
My point is, the writers of RWBY need to do their own work and write their own story instead of relying on their audience to write it themselves while still being the ones to make all the money.
