RWBY Volume 9 Episode 1. After years of waiting I finally get to see what the hell they've been up to all this time with referrals and layoffs... On Crunchy Roll... Ok, I can take that. Let's talk about the episode and not my thoughts on the SERIOUS situation at Rooster Teeth. The episode starts with Ruby who takes several minutes to open her eyes skipping entire events of the story of Volume 8, sorry for the obvious joke but this shows why Ruby is a bit pitiful as a fighter and as a leader ... because turns off the brain 90% of the time. Then we get to the "new world" where everything seems so "strange" and "unique"...and then we get to the first problem of writing RWBY which is "They are not human" or at least "They don't look human-like", let me explain: Ruby's scene where she insists on reaching the tree is taken from the Matrix 3 scene (if I remember correctly) where Neo, in the train tunnel, tries to run forward and then find himself at the starting point, this creates the sensation block, loop, from which the protagonist must escape; In Ruby there is the same idea but with a small problem, she finds herself in an open field, so it means that she (instead of changing course) insists on going forward. I don't think I have to explain the concept of "roam" or "explore" do I? And after several tries she curls up and cries… So IT DOESN'T CHANGE WAY. Ruby acts as if she is in a tunnel, as if she has been programmed to do that action, without asking herself: Maybe I could go left or right? Thus creating the problem of "Oh no, I'm stuck in a loop" and then finding a solution (which would have obviously taken time in this ""anime"" of 17:00 minutes TOTAL!). Ruby finally talks to Little, and thanks to the writers' favorite friend called Deus Ex Machina, they get out of this situation. We then move on to Weiss + Blake where they find Blake's weapon in a set of roots. We are in the second scene in which the characters do not act as human beings but as "robots who have to do the imposed thing": They don't climb the roots (which are demonstrably climbable) and find that they are self-propelled and thus get trapped by them... Blake pulls the root; Weiss launches two slashes to be already tired ( Huntresses = 10/10); Blake climbs a freaking tree to reach the implanted sword; WHAT THE HELL! So the roots kidnap the two, and Ruby saves the day thanks to Little convincing the other mice that they're "food carriers"? We don't wonder too much about this anyway, there's no time, so they immediately runs towards Yang. Yang faces scary little monster with PING problems, or that's what the context led me to believe: The monster was "searching", finds Ruby, Blake and Weiss and prepares for battle, then Yang comes and becomes a 4 on 1 and the monster runs away in fear. Evidently it's a bot programmed like this: If "enemies" less than or equal to x=3 then "fight" else "run". I know that as speech is stupid or cringe, but that's what I perceive when I see these "action" scenes so lacking in pathos. The monster runs away at the exact moment an amputee girl shows up to him, tired and "wounded" (when will there be injured character models?), while he remains to fight two girls who are at full strength and are also armed . It makes no sense and is not natural. "lesbo moment" between Yang and Blake (Ruby instead is a marble statue towards her sister suffering from her ... But we are used to this lack of humanity by now). Then Ruby passes out, because she learns of Penny's death, falling of TEMPLE on the ground (people die falling so bad). So the girls sit next to her helpless body and talk gossip… Not even one wondering if Ruby is okay, or if she has a brain injury… no. Again lack of humanity (ONLY JAUNE HAS THE FEELINGS!). So it ends like this… With them seeing that they are in the Alice in Wonderland universe. - Opening HORRIBLE! We have Jaune and Neo put in front of the beginning at the end in the center, but yeah, it's about Jaune. It's always been about Jaune. RWBY stands for: Red White Black Yellow, Jaune's 4 favorite colors, SO THE STORY IS ABOUT JAUNE! How disgusting. I hate Jaune for this, and let me be clear: You are free to love him as much as you want, this is MY opinion, when I say Jaune sucks I'm not saying YOU suck, okay? My predictions? Jaune will go into edge lord mode because Ironwood became famous for it (only Ironwood was more chad while Jaune is just cringe) and he will be Neo's minion. So Weiss will either save him, or not, but still he will become the knight Weiss summons to fight. My final opinion. The eternal one, which will be present regardless of how volume 9 goes on... It will hardly change. This is not a story that can be considered good for the progression of the story itself. Would the idea have been good for a movie? Yes. What will change to the RWBY team in this arc? Nothing. Because Jaune has always been a parasite of this story, and now that he's grown up he blossoms out of the girls' empty bodies. We have to travel all over the world to solve the Salem problem, but instead that black hole Jaune sucks all the characters into the void and into her world. Watch the anime, this will make you understand the key concept of a story WITHOUT A SELF INSERT! Albeit cheesy even if itself poorly written, but still about the RWBY team. Jaune is a self insert because even when team RWBY falls into an alternate dimension, Jaune has to find a way to get in the way: Without team JNR. Think about this. Jaune, in theory, is a character related to team JNR ... he has nothing to do with team RWBY, stop it. He has everything, everything. I don't want to draw it and I never will! He already has too much. Team RWBY deserves fan art and fan fic (well written) without that self insert.
