Much Ado About RWBY

we don't credit rebecca sugar enough for making the episode with the first gay wedding in a kids show extremely plot relevant so it could not be skipped or cut.

#rebecca sugar has gone on record saying that they knew from the beginning they wanted ruby and sapphire and they put every inch of planning#in to make sure that the studio could not take them out. sugar has said they’d compromised on hundreds of things they’d wanted for steven#so that they had the bargaining power specifically to keep ruby and sapphire’s relationship#and a number of ‘filler’ episodes were created just to establish counter-arguments that might come up when they pitched the wedding episode#the one that comes to mind is the episode about steven and connie getting lost in rose’s room steven’s central conflict about liking their#fave book series’ romantic ending was later weaponised when producer’s were like ‘oh but steven’s a boy he won’t be too interested in them#getting married’ sugar was able to be like ‘no. in this episode it’s established he loves romance and specifically weddings. and in these#episodes it’s shown how much steven cares about ruby and sapphire and their relationship and happiness. you cannot convince me this is not#good and necessary plot development#and they wrapped it up in the season finale and the big climactic point of the diamonds finally coming to attack earth to make the#episode integral to the series no skipping it without confusion. and had ruby wear a wedding dress because international censors took#advantage of her design to give her a masculine va#and sugar made certain that everybody knew This was a queer love story that an entire town supported and admired and that any child watchin#it at home would know they are not alone and that that support is waiting for them out there somewhere#sugar sacrificed the wider story they wanted to tell for that and it was a horrible decision to be given but they made the right choice

I can't get over how he just grabs her head and shakes while she plays kazoo to make the opening trill to the mission impossible theme

Actually on the topic of Megamind- I appreciate how much chemistry Roxanne has with Megamind right from the beginning. Having them fall in love and begin dating doesnt come as a surprise to anyone partly because the opening scene shows us they have a close relationship. Judging by the dialogue between Roxanne and Megamind (playful, informal, and responsive) and the dialogue between Roxanne and Metroman (professional, scripted) the audience already has a feeling for who Roxanne likes more. When Megamind seizes control of the city and begins trashing it, Roxanne isnt just grieving- shes disappointed. Juxtaposed to when they discover Metroman is alive and shes straight up mad. Roxanne always expected more of Megamind (because she understood his potential) and the reason their romance works so well is because Megamind wanted to meet her expectations and be the kind of person she was proud of.

I love the concept of Tooks. "Everybody in the Shire is very very businesslike and respectable and has no use for adventures except for this one entire family of mad lads who also run the municipal government"
