What were some strengths of V4?
What were its weaknesses?
>>
>>91222795
+ Greatly improved facial animations.
+ music is on point.
+ great on off characters.
- could use a little more plot development
- the 5-6 separate storylines were rough at times.
>>
>>91222795
+better animations
+pretty good designs
+pretty good story progression
-too much Blake
-Yang plot like was too rushed, at the very least she could have gotten montage instead of time skipping to the results
-Cinder having doubts for basically no reason
-Fights weren't all that good

>>
>>91222795
-Bloody combat
-Give Raven more screentime
-Finally confirm a Ren x Nora romantic relationship rather than some will-they-won't-they thing. Someone deserves a happy ending.
- Weiss should have had more to do than shout at some guy and then sneak out of house arrest.

I'm just glad the animation was better though it was still goofy and shoddy at times
>>
>>91224249
with the cinder having doubts I can bet on the cutting room floor they had more screen time of her in that mood. but all was got was what maybe two shots of her being concerned.
>>
>>91224344
with raven, I feel they are still trying to nail down what they want to do with her. I like the idea of a third party in the current power struggle, even tough raven seems more concerned with the "tribes" survival.

I thought Cinder was having a lot of doubts and a lack of self-confidence because Ruby's silver eyes wrecked her face so hard.

One thing I was irritated with but eventually came to like about Volume 4 was that they didn't tease Penny's return at the end. She's definitely coming back somehow, but I'm glad it didn't show Geppetto in his workshop with blueprints or putting together her endoskeleton and stuff.
>>
>>91224481
Fairly simple solution: tell her story in flashbacks to her younger days training Taurus. How they're the perfect master/student pairing then have Raven become concerned over Adam's growing extremism, have him become strong enough that when she steps in to slap him back into line they fight into a stalemate or he eludes her. Keep it at that. Simple idea.

I don't mind it because most fans are fully aware of how shitty it is, and yet enjoy it not due to its weakness but through its strenghts, and I can fully respect that. It's not SUG fags claiming their show is the second coming of the animation rennaisance, nor is it RM idiots saying you are just too stupid to understand the super-deep ideas hidden below layers of satire or some bullshit.

Let RBWY watchers enjoy their show as long as they keep to themselves and aren't obnoxious about it.

I hope something other than the typical evil sibling mini-Jacques they seem to be going with, its just horribly cliche and totally unneeded since they already have Jacques as Weiss' personal obstacle.
>>
>>91228016
The solutions are rushed, we got several bits of her being depressed and then she just suddenly decided she wasn't. She had to get use to using and fighting with her new arm, and we just cut to the last day of her training. She apparently had a problem regarding using her semblance as a cruch even though that is not the reason she lost any of her fights, and that was solve via a short talk.

An idea that I had was that Tyrian should have started his search for Ruby at the most obvious place: her home. He goes there, finds out where Ruby is going, fights with Yang and Tai, lets them live because they bore him.

Yang makes the decision to leave to try and reach Ruby before him. She's not 100% over what happened, and her character arc plays out on her trip to Haven.

>>91239793
True enough. Yang's felt the weakest, while Weiss' had the potential to be really interesting, but all they do is tease you with some real interesting shit and not follow up on showing you more.

Also Whitley. Fuuuuuuuck that little gnome.

Blake's had a lot going for it, and received the most development, but damn if it didn't make me hate her more with every moment she was on screen.

There was way too much Blake this season. She is honestly one of the least interesting characters and despite all the effort they've put into making her likable it just isn't working. If I were running volume 4, I would have put emphasis on 3 story lines, those being Ruby, Yang, and Jaune. They suffered the most last volume and need the screen time to cope. Ruby coming to terms with her power, Yang learning how to stand on her own two feet again, and Jaune struggling to cope with the loss of his best friend. It just feels like the time they were given this season wasn't enough to complete the arcs they did. Weiss' story could be moved to the back burner and let her fester for a bit before she decides to escape next volume. Blake is just irrelevant, but whatever, give her an episode.
>>
>>91243245
How would you have made it so more Yang screen time wasn't just more of a depressing slog?

The animation was basically the only good thing about Volume 4. Everything else sucked dick hard, and it's up to your personal preference to decide which is the worst of that.

Frankly, Yang and Weiss's stories were terrible. Blake's was okay, but was stretched out for no reason. Ruby's was mediocre, but there was a lot of stupid bullshit about it. Shitty ending fight being one of them.
>>
>>91243245
A lot the Blake and weiss screen time was probably to setup the rest of white fang characters and the rest of Weiss's family.
>>
>>91243393
The greatest sin of V4 will never not be destroying all the great momentum the end of Volume 3 had.

Also. I feel like Weiss' storyline solely exists as setup for the Atlas plot that will start in Volume 7. Three Volumes for each academy, remember?
>>
>>91222795
They need to explain what exactly Ruby's semblance is. Super speed or bursting into flower pedals and if it is the latter find a way to use it.

Is it bad that literally the only enjoyable part of Weiss' story line to me was Based Irondong?

Bumblebee and any other ship with Blake, I guess. Anything with Ren or Nora, but who seriously shipped either of them with not each other?

Bumblebee was my favorite though. Also, it sends quite the message that everything's going pure het since the girls keep growing farther apart from each other and closer to the guys.
rip any fujoshi ships too.

>>91243852
>Bumblebee was my favorite though.
I'm so sorry for your shit taste. If it makes you feel any better, it's only mostly sunk. They're driving steady to Cat x Monkey, but it's technically not a sure thing yet. They haven't even got a hand holding moment like Ren and Nora. And Yang hasn't even been teased with any dudes.

I just finished a game (wont name cause spoilers) in which the main couple didn't have a romantic scene until the end. Like, the very, very end.

It's nice seeing something like that instead of love=constant sex anf fawning over each other.
>>
>>91245529
No one said they had to make kissy faces at each other or fuck, but just holding each other in a time of respite as an assurance is a very mature way of showing off a relationship and affection

They need to stop having Jaune steal the spotlight from the main characters. I don't hate the guy but there was no reason at all for him to do more than Ruby against the Nuck and for Ruby to require a 5 minute speech thrown in at the end to overtake him in lines

>character development

For all of the characters except the main ones.
>>
>>91246283
Meh. I think they might be accelerating his development a little, but there's no reason why Jaune can't show some growth. He's improved greatly since V1, and is not a wimp anymore.

I do agree with you about more focus on Ruby, though. She is the main character. And she's cute
>>
>>91246357
I'm not saying Jaune shouldn't grow and become more competent, they just don't have to neglect Ruby to do that

What do you mean? Yang had that amazing character arc where she woke up from a PTSD-induced nightmare, walked down the stairs and had all her issues cured completely by an insult! Masterful story telling
>>
>>91246322
That was my initial reaction too. It seemed like they were building him up to be an ally of Team RWBY, not a half-baked political commentary. But all the anons on Infinitechan are convinced that's what will happen in V5.
>>
>>91246424
I know you're joking, but fuck that triggers me to no end. Volume 4 was just so fucking shitty
>>
>>91246426
Seems to me like Winter's being built up as the true Atlas military ally who'll likely take over as General by the end of the series. Except I think she's probably going to die
>>
>>91246424
I don't think we're done with Yang yet. Yes, her depression is (seemingly) gone, but they seem to be hinting that they're going to tackle her more deep-seated anger issues in the coming volume.
>>
>>91246449
Based on what? She didn't even appear this Volume.
>>
>>91246449
No way. She's so dead. Her death will likely be what kicks off the war proper.

They didn't spend so much time showing Ironwood was a truly nice man for them to pull that shit
>>
>>91245958
>implying Noctis and Ignis ended up kissing

I don't remember that happening anon
>>
>>91246393
I hope you're wrong. Ruby has a lot of potential as a character, and I really hope they don't neglect that.
>>
>>91246452
I hope so, because that's not the impression Armed and Ready gave me

>>91246487
Not much to it beyond a slight suspicion, I'm just wary of her position as a supporting character who's close to a main character and could be killed easily for angst/development. I don't believe all that bullshit about her VA being too expensive
>>
>>91246536
I'm going based off of what Tai said to her not long before she left, when they were training, about her being 'off-balance' mentally. I don't remember the specifics of the speech, but it seemed to hint that Yang still had some deeper problems to work through.
>>
>>91246536
They did have some serious budget issues tho. And Winter is a character who's already went under massive changes thanks to Sheena, so
>>
>>91246536
I meant about her becoming the general/RWBY's ally within Atlas. I can see where you're coming from with her dying.
>>
>>91246588
Not that anon, but that literally makes no sense. They specifically showed Ironwood helping out two members of team RWBY, and have consistently showed how nice he is to people who deserve it, which is in complete opposition to his generic character archetype. It makes no sense why they'd suddenly shift to Winter as the ally. Especially when she's such an obvious death flag.
>>
>>91246648
Those are my exact thoughts on the matter as well.
>>
>>91246571
Except they're perfectly capable of hiring Elizabeth Maxwell to voice on the main characters in Camp Camp and now the main protagonist of RvB season 15
>>
>>91246668
I mean, maybe I'm just an Ironwoodfag (which I admit I totally am. If you guys can have your waifus, I can have my husbando), but that really doesn't fit with where they've taken his character. Also, Ironwood is Miles' baby, and he fucking adores the character, so I don't think he'd do that) he already kind of proved him right with not trusting the Mistral headmaster
>>
>>91246772
That's why I was so skeptical of all the people saying they're going to make him the bad guy. It doesn't make any sense when you consider his character thus far.
>>
>>91246757
That kind of proves the opposite point, though. Doesn't it? The fact that they're hiring already for so much shit makes it seem like her part on RWBY won't be as big because there's already that previous commitment that costs a lot.
>>
>>91246817
Not really, just proves that they have a good relationship with her (also shown through her numerous appearances on streams and podcasts) and doesn't cost too much.

I can't see them doing much with Winter simply because of how much her character is already changed. I think she'll be the mentor character to Weiss who gets killed. Similar to how Qrow is probably biting it sooner than later for Ruby,

too slow, worldbuilding and lore was meh, threw in even more macguffins for some reason, too many characters for 15 minute episodes which left many others (including the main character of the fucking show) underdeveloped.

pacing and developing the characters you actually need to develop has always been an alien concept to the RWBY writers, don't really expect it to change.
>>
I still feel as though Ruby and Blake are the least interesting of any group they're a part of. Whereas Blake's isn't "really" her fault (with the monkey dude stealing the spotlight), Ruby's archetype is just so lame. Weiss is alright since she's a clear archetype that kind of necessitates an emotional attachment.
My issue with this show is that Ruby is obviously the main protag and will be for the rest of this series' run (10 or so years) but Ruby is the worst character on the show. She's boring. She's predictable. Her weapon is lame. Not to mention, she can't lose cause she's the plot device so we'll never see her disappear like Pyrha did. It's just unfortunate, having a decent story with a decent universe and decent immersion. And having it all ultimately ruined by the fact that Ruby is a one-dimensional character.

Wot did u just say about my waifu, m8?

In all seriousness, I don't think Ruby is boring. She's far from one-dimensional, and does have flaws. For one thing, she's naïve. She is a social failure, possibly with Aspergers. From a combat perspective, she is VERY flawed, and has basically no defensive capabilities. Also, just because she is idealistic or naïve doesn't mean she's a static or boring, that can actually be quite interesting if done right. Ever seen Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works?[/spoiler[

>>91247429
>Her weapon is lame
I think, above most of things you can criticize RWBY for, its fight choreography is great. Monty's has always been fantastic. But with a scythe... man. It's just kind of lame. It's limited to a number of moves because much like Ruby's character, it is one-dimensional. We saw the extent of what you can do with it if you watched Soul Eater.

>flips, staff twirls, and cannon mode

I think it's possible or, at least, I hope she'll get an amp and maybe ditch the whole Scythe thing or at least, get the bloodborne scythe where it's not wholly dependent on spear/polearm techniques.

>>91247529
I think the narrative you take from the storyline is how you interpret Ruby.
>Naive, Social failure
>Combat perspective, she's flawed with no defensive capabilities
I hear you but that's all just a single vein which is the fact that that's her thing and she has no other "moe". Yes, they're all facets of her characteristics applied in different areas but ultimately, her aspergers which the creators force as "cute" makes her the most obnoxious and least interesting of all the characters. Because it doesn't abide by normal social conventions is why she's the least interesting. Within their suspension of disbelief is, ironically, why she's the least interesting.

For instance with Weiss, family pressures and societal expectations. But she's not limited to being a prude like her sister. She's capable of genuine feeling of romance and love. But ultimately, it comes off cold like her style of fighting and her demeanour. Thematically, it doesn't come off as one-dimensional but rather, different facets of a diverse character. She's unpredictable. What are, ultimately, her motivations? What are her incentives?

And I don't know about you, but shirou was pretty lame.

Looking back at it, Shirou was not as bad as ruby, if I'm following your process. At least Shirou was so retarded that he was stupid. Made for interesting interactions with the rest of the cast who, by design, were meant to be as one-dimensional as possible.

Whereas, Ruby is just retarded

Have you seen the transformation for Milo? Solid pieces of metal completely change shape or just straight up disappear

>>91247826
So? Doesn't change the fact that the end product is infinitely better. CR has a better transformation because it was the first weapon Monty worked on. He made sure that thing worked.
>>
>>91247719
Shirou may have been a bland/lame character, but he was not a static character. At least not in UBW or HF I'm using him as an example that Ruby does not have to be a static character just because she's idealistic, and that her character develop over time. Also, that's, like, your opinion man

I think that's a 'to each their own' issue. I found Ruby's awkwardness endearing, but clearly you find it annoying.

Ruby's motivations are ostensibly to be a hero, but Red Like Roses Part II implies that anger/revenge may also be a motivator for her. She's angry at the Grimm for taking her mother from her. Granted, the writers haven't really shown this side of Ruby very much, but it's still there regardless.

>>91247821
Let me guess, you've only seen the 2006 anime/the Fate route? The whole point of the following two routes was to challenge Shirou's rather unrealistic belief system and point out the deep-seated flaws within his character.
>>
>>91247928
RWBY isn't doing that, though. It actively encourages Ruby through their simple soul bullshit. It's why she's never portrayed in a negative light, despite all the stupid shit she does.
>>
>>91247952
Really? Between the openings and some stuff the writers said post-V3, it seems like that's not the direction they're going in.

If we're continuing with the Fate comparison, I hope they go the UBW route and have her be less naïve/dumb but still retaining some modicum of her beliefs.
>>
>>91248005
I don't care what Miles and Kerry have said. The show itself paints a completely different story. The thing with Qrow is a perfect example. She got him injured, and she doesn't face any consequences in the end and gets painted as basically a saint.
>>
>>91247872
And wouldn't you agree that that makes a poor story? If the character is defiantly an individual and ultimately subjective and the fulcrum of the story is concentrated around her.

>Defiantly an individual and subjective
By this, I mean contrary to others who are a member and are ultimately a consolidation of a number of characters. Take One Piece, for example (even if you may not like it). The reader, ultimately, really likes the Luffy because he's an extension of the Straw Hat pirates and so are all the other members. They all share the same ideals and have their own unique tendencies or motivations but never fail the expectation.

But Ruby. What exactly is she doing most of the time?

I can understand and see why some people would like her. she's "endearing", she's "charming". But for the life of me, I can't stand that an interesting universe with its own idiosyncrasies has to be predicated upon such a lackluster character.

TL;DR that's why she's such a poor character. The fact that she's not objectively an enjoyable character (which i can understand, is hard to make) yet the entire storyline is contingent on her. And that's how it is, no matter how you may think it is. All the storylines ultimately converge at her. She's the leader of every group she's been in. She's the plot device. She's gifted the machina of all machinas. She's given the most effort in her creation (with the weapon design which I can admit, has nice detail).
>>
>>91248005
>have her be less dumb and have belief system
I certainly hope so cause I agree with OP, Ruby is going to kill this show. All the episodes centred around her are a drag to get through. Though I do think it's more difficult than shit to create halfway through without seeming awkward, weird or forced. Shirou had a philosophy, an ideology, an epistemology and it morphed to his surroundings whereas ruby is just "let's be a hero and go on sick adventures and shit".
>>
>>91248074
How is that Ruby's fault? Qrow was the one who chose to intervene. He could have let Ruby get stabbed.

Also, if we're going by the show alone, what about Ruby's letter to Yang in the end of V4? She admits her recklessness and naivete. That's a big step.
>>
>>91248097
>all the storylines ultimately converge on her

Blake's story arc this Volume has been extremely disconnected from the other girls. She might even resolve that conflict without Ruby even getting involved. It's wrong to say that EVERYTHING revolves around Ruby.
>>
>>91248221
Qrow would never do that because he isn't that much of a fucking asshole. The only reason he got injured in the first place is because Ruby inserted herself into a fight that she didn't need to be in, and was told repeatedly to stay out of.

Are Rubyfags really this fucking delusional? It doesn't matter if she admitted. The show will keep painting her doing it as a good thing when it isn't

My point is he didn't have to. There was nothing stopping him from ignoring the whole thing. He didn't, because that's not who he is. It's still not right to shift the blame directly on Ruby. Qrow would likely have done the exact same thing Ruby did had the roles been reversed.

As for the letter, my point is that she's beginning to realize the flaws about herself. That could potentially lead to an epiphany later on down the line.

Firstly, it's quite difficult to consider such long-term consequences mid-battle. Second, the fact that Qrow was even injured further illustrates that Ruby is NOT perfect and makes mistakes.
>>
>>91248460
But wouldn't you do the same thing for your parents? Ruby and Qrow are guilty of the same thing.
>>
>>91248506
Those aren't equivalent situations, and you fucking know it, you stupid Rubyfag. Some rookie huntress fighting an experienced enemy vs a top tier, experienced huntsman doing the same isn't equivalent
>>
>>91248506
Also, Ruby sure as fuck didn't get punished for making those mistakes. .All she got was Jaune giving her the you're basically a saint speech, which confronted her about fucking nothing.
>>
>>91248578
Were Ruby's actions ill-advised? Absolutely. But they ARE the same thing.

>Qrow intervenes in Ruby's fight to protect her
>Ruby intervenes in Qrow's fight to protect him

You are correct in saying that Ruby is inexperienced, and that was a bad move. I'm not debating that. But they DID do the same thing, Ruby was just less successful.

>>91248598
Qrow being injured was punishment in itself.
>>
>>91248646
It doesn't matter if they do the same thing when the situations aren't equivalent to begin with.

Qrow being injured isn't really punishment because nothing comes of it. Everyone is perfectly fine in the end, and there are no real consequences for her actions. She isn't forced to examine her bad behavior, and everyone just applauds her for her bullshit
>>
>>91248708
And yet she does, at least somewhat. Listen to the letter again.

Ultimately, it seems this argument is going in circles, and neither of us have come to any sort of consensus. Perhaps we should simply agree to disagree?

>>91248741

Ren and Nora were basically statues when they could've also been at least visibly upset about Pyrrha and Ruby didn't even react to Jaune shitting on her uncle. Basically yet another moment of the writers mistreating Jaune by shoving everyone else aside for him

Not in the slightest, well written conflicts in the story are a result of good writing. It's the opposite in RWBY

This show is better as unintentional satire and camp. Especially since its 4 volumes in and nothing has really improved enough to reach most industry standards, therefore proving its beyond/not worth saving. Plus its actually genuinely enjoyable if you don't take it seriously.
Prove me wrong.
>>
>>91249141
The only difference in yours and my case is that you're rationalising it like a sympathiser. Good conflict? I think it's bad conflict. Good writing? I think it's bad writing.

They want a narrative-driven story but the writing is shit. They want a character-driven story but the titular character is shit.

>Roman Torchwick and Ruby Rose started merely as thoughts. But they've become so much more. That old cliche rings true. They've taken on a life of their own.
>And life may not be what we... think. Life brings to mind: A beating heart, breathing lungs, blinking eyes.
>But the real light is in our imaginations.
>And who better embodies the definition of imagination if not a simple soul, an Animator who puts his ideas to poser so that they may live on. In our children. In our children's children. And their children's, children's children can access the wealth of ideas that have accumulated thus far. They will plug themselves into an information grid and they will have access.
>They will watch every RWBY Episode. 80,000 years from now a child will see simple Ruby Rose, reading a magazine. She will look around for something, but that something is not there. She will lift her head and think
>"Are you robbing me ?".
>And Torchwick will be smoking the cigar.
>And Ruby Rose will yell “HAIIIIIYAAA!"
>And what then? 80,000 years from now? The child watching this show will smile. And that smile will transcend space and time and the physical limitations of this existence whatever it may be. However dimensions exist, there will always be RWBY. And there will always be its creator.

>>91250479
They didnt have to *kill* him to get rid of him, he already made it obvious he didnt want to be there, to be working with Cinder or any connection to Salem, having the airship fall and fake his and Neos death would be a better excuse to never seeing him again than what we were given.

These are the same people that refuse to answer the waterfall of "Is Pyrrha coming back?" questions at RTX becausd they know that they can milk money from Pyrrha fans even with her character dead as long as they never confirm she isn't coming back.

It focused WAAAAAAY too much on Ren and Nora. Like those 2 and Jaune are so much more fleshed out than any of the fucking title characters.

And yet Blake had the most screen time
>>
>>91268961
I can't complain too much about that because Ren and Nora, despite being billed as main characters, received next-to-no focus throughout the entire first 3 volumes. Jaune doesn't have this excuse though, and it definitely should've been toned down; Ruby didn't even resemble a main protagonist
>>
The overarcing issue with this show is that its season 4 and they're STILL setting up characters.
Basically the entire Weiss storyline was to set up her family. Blakes storyline was to kinda set up the White Fang since we still know very little about them. And shit we still have no idea what the fuck Salem and her crew are even trying to do.

Its been 4 whole seasons and we as the audience know so little about what the actual conflict is about, the writers have just been spinning their wheels this entire team and clearly dont know what they're doing and that was extremely apparently with the entirety of season 4 where the plot went absolutely nowhere.

I can appreciate the ambition of what RT is trying to do with RWBY but its beyond the capabilities of their writers.
>>

>>91268961
They had 2 episodes of 13. That's perfectly fine for side characters.
>>
+lots of questions raised for interesting things
+Flower Power finally moving

-Ruby still an autistic Mary Sue that now instead of being weak without a team is straight up incompetent
-Wide shots of Weiss' empty mansion look great, but Weiss herself doesn't look as good as she did in the earlier volumes. Her entire arc could have been skipped by using her shots in the OP to sum up what she'd been doing.
-White Fang being introduced and immediately discarded, no Adam
-the interior design of Xiao Long's kitchen
-Qrow's bullshit semblance
-if the fall of Beacon means no communications then how was Yang watching the news and how was Ruby using her scroll in the volume preview?
-for years hunters couldn't take out a grimm with wacky arms that was destroying countryside villages but 4 incompetent kids could glory kill it
-Jaune. Protagonist A is a Mary Sue so Protagonist B is fittingly a Gary Stu. He's a goofball that's serious when he needs to be, which overlaps with Sun. Still no semblance. Equipment finally upgraded to a literal double-edged sword. Might not be as spectacular as the other characters but clearly a physically strong human being... so he's this show's Krillin. Lancaster is happening but it was bound to since his inception. Still the crap self-insert character he was at the beginning who gets too much screen time with too slow development for it to be forgivable. Ren and Nora had better development with a fraction of the time spent on Jaune.
>>
>>91268961
They're falling into the same mistakes as a lot of LN harem writers. In a harem series, there's the main girl and there are the side girls. The side girls are often more fleshed out because the writer wants to "reserve" the development of the main girl near the end for a SUPER EXCITING AND DEEP conclusion. The writer is free to let the development of the side girls play out naturally while the main girl (despite being introduced first and in a more prominent position) is often boring and static. By the time the main girl's development happens, people have already latched onto other characters which is why I think side girls tend to be more popular than the main girl.

>Reminder that it took them four volumes of 'expertly crafted' storytelling and a shit ton of focus on the character just to get Blake to understand the simple life lesson of "Rely on your friends instead of trying to do everything yourself, especially when doing so hurts said friends"

>Reminder that the majority of volume 3 was spent on Pyrrha just to make you feel bad, despite the fact that it created and ultimately threw out much more interesting development potential within the last few episodes, and spreading her out over a few volumes and killing her around volume 5-6ish instead of bottlenecking her in volume 3 would have been better in the long run.

>Reminder that RNJR's entire arc for all of volume 4 consisted of muh village, muh pyrrha, and muh revenge, culminating in a fight against an old and bustes Grimm that couldn't even keep itself upright.

>Reminder that Yang and Weiss both had boring storylines that are too short and thus rushed yet somehow also dull amd boring to sit through.

>But at least Renora had a moment.

Miles and Kerry a shit.
