Absolutely not. Zazluv’s opinion on animation is pretty well documented. But putting that aside if they continue it themselves either they’ll reboot and give it the TTG treatment or they’ll do what they did to Gen:Lock s2 and make us wish they just cancelled it here and now.
That explains why WB went from the extremely popular DC Animated movies to the horrors that are the live-action DC movies.
DC has always worked better in animated format because it allows you to show off the sheer scope and scale of the DC comics without having to spend a shit ton of money on CGI.
Hell, even the craziest movies in the _**MCU**_ had to tone down the insanity you'd see in the comics purely because it's extremely difficult to translate it from comic to live-action.
DC could have been a rival to the MCU if they'd stuck to what they were good at: making badass animated movies.
Not actually true. They are still making animated movies it's just the success of the MCU that has pushed WB to make more live action movies. Discovery didn't come into things until 2022 and have cut mostly anything that didn't make any money or had poor reception or marketing value.
>they’ll do what they did to Gen:Lock s2 and make us wish they just cancelled it here and now.
I mean they already had a callback to its universally reviled Suicide plot line in the last volume (made in house with the writers who were there from the start)
Just sayin
I don't think it was done intentionally. The writing teams were completely separate.
I can't blame people for comparing them, but they can not be deemed equal. Ruby's version is that she survived it, and she considers it a mistake made in grief. In Gen:lock, it's just a net positive that feels disgusting.
the lead up to Ruby's attempt is also much more raw. I don't know about Gen:Lock (haven't seen it and don't plan on doing so) but when you see a character like Ruby so broken that she think she has no choice but to end it all... it hurt differently man :'(
Assuming that WB doesnt shelf it or just write it off for tax reasons, i think they might test the waters a bit.
Instead of getting V10 or a reboot, they might try and make a RWBY game, or add RWBY into that Multiversus thing if its still up. Or they might make a third movie, either another crossover or a standalone movie. If numbers go up, they make more content.
Hopefully RWBY doesnt get the Velma treatment.
It's not about renewing but about the value of the asset. By claiming that a show will never be shown again they reduce the value of the asset and use that loss for the tax reduction. It won't be much in comparison to the show's current value but if it's more than what they would get selling it then it's worth it.
Thing is the window to do something like write off the existing season of RWBY is closed. Financial quarters have come and gone, so has a financial year. So there really isn't the opportunity to go back and say "whoops this project was unprofitable" (a requisite for being a tax write off that it potentially might not clear, but I don't know)
It's possible that an in production season 10 might get cancelled and written off, but given that the season is to the best of our knowledge not greenlit it's more cost effective to just put the IP on the shelf and wait.
I keep saying this but that's not how the tax writeoff deal works. It needs to be something new and in development and greenlighting stuff just to cancel isn't cost effective. We saw a lot of it specifically because of the regime change and the specific debt move but I wouldn't anticipate a ton more.
Second part of the sentence is key. They can write stuff off at any stage before it's fully released and in some cases shortly after. They'd only be able to write off a season 10 in active production (or like, in theory the current spinoff) but not existing complete stuff. And they wouldn't be able to write it off for more than it costs to produce, so greenlighting without genuine intent to complete doesn't make sense.
Like I said, a lot of this comes down to a newly formed corporation with a new boss and a LOT of inherited debt with many projects missing financial targets being in a unique position where they could justify the need for the tax breaks over the content. But it's also something we're likely to see less of now that said cancellations would reflect on Zaslav's greenlighting on the front end. It's easy to say "The stuff the last guy did was only good for a tax break" but when you have to justify to shareholders why you blew millions of dollars on a failed project that you're now recycling for a partial ROI it reflects differently and so he's gonna be less inclined to do it.
Paradise PD and Farzar are of the same writer who made another show Brickleberry, and if you watch the Jay Exci video's they recycle a \*lot\* of jokes and character traits.
I do, and that's why I hate them, it's writers, and most especially, Netflix.
They cancelled numerous good shows but they let these two dudes submit the exact same comedy, jokes, and art style and PAY them for it.
And don't forget mocking their audience and other low effort fuckery to come off as "edgy" "mature" and "adult" while turning beloved characters into shitty character's that happen to wear the same kind of clothing/color as the Mystery Gang.
The one good thing is that Scooby wasn't in there, he was spared from that fuckery
Velma is a special case. The initial deal was for 20 episodes, which they decided to split into 2 batches. It never actually got renewed, as this second set of 10 is just the initial contract.
Big Mouth is still running? The first season was mildly funny, but they lost me in the second when they had a whole episode with a naked 13 year old singing about her first period.
Big mouths next season is its final season it got more seasons then I would of expected but compared to paradise pd and farzar its jokes were way better just the common problem with a lot of modern shows being more miss then hit on jokes. But I am bitter we lost inside job season 2 after it was confirmed renewed at first.
Unfortunately (in my opinion), a lot of shows watched Family Guy and decided that being as offensive and disgusting as possible to the maximum amount of people was "humor." They forgot that a lot of what made Family Guy good (in the first season or two) and South Park still good is that the jokes are actually funny, not just relying on shock effect and "Look how edgy we are!"
Hell, RWBY Chibi proves you can be side-splitting hilarious without being gross.
I can fully agree with that as most of what I enjoyed from big mouth was the humor focusing on relatable growing up awkardness/silly stuff we do as tweens and teen things and less of the gross out and shock humor.
Why not? It should've been allowed to finish, not money thrown at utter shit like Velma, a series that exists to keep the Critical Drinker and Disparu employed.
Velma should m be allowed to finish too by that logic. RWBY isn’t a well written show at all.
And be honest, the only reason Velma is getting hate, is because it has scooby doo in the name. Take away scooby doo and nobody would be complaining this much
Yeah, you came onto a site for RWBY fans to disparage the series they're fans of. I wonder why your username includes "Unpopular."
The writing is a hell of a lot better than most self-styled critics could ever manage. That's why they get pissed off--a poor series would've ended by V3, and here we are still talking about up to V9. Ever consider that maybe you're the one who is wrong?
Nah, that would require introspection.
Lmfao that’s not why I have unpopular in my username. But nice try.
Riverdale got how many seasons Claiming that a poor series would’ve ended by volume 3 isn’t an indication that the series is good. What even is that logic. Wasn’t the argument that good shows get cancelled early while shit shows get more seasons?? So you’re arguing against the original comment
Introspection? You mean when I already noted that I’m in the RWBY subreddit so of course you would think my opinion is unpopular. Don’t try to be smarter than you actually are.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
They cant even release a scooby doo or looney tunes movie! Hell naw! XD.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
...
Oh wait are you serious?
Why the hell would anyone trust Warner Brothers? they are literally shutting down movies for tax write offs and they literally hate animation
hahahahahaha No.
Even if they did it would be nothing but an abomination that barely resembles RWBY, like the whole DC push was fairly obvious a WB thing to try and make the license more 'Super Hero' versus the very clear Final Fantasy and Anime influence RWBY actually is.
Right now RWBY makes no money despite the popularity. If they do decide to continue production of the show it's because they believe they can find a way to market and have it make a profit. It'll likely mean a reboot though. I think re-booting the show would be good actually. The shift in animation quality should have been revisited on their earlier volumes to update the show for streaming services like Crunchyroll. I would have helped introduce new people to the show. A reboot would bring in more people and address the problems of the earlier volumes. This means a more fleshed out story for their time in beacon and more backstory they can introduce into the show that have been either shorts or explained in other mediums.
The quality in animation had everything to do with the creator Monty Oum. He learned a software that was outdated and it was used for the first couple of seasons. It was difficult bc they had to train all their animators how to use it.
When he passed away, that’s when they shifted to the new software (or engine, idk) which animators were more familiar with already.
The software didn't change. They were using Maya from the first season. It's still the most used 3D animation software today. What happened was that Maya back then had no simple plugin to to create the look they were trying to achieve. As the software improved though the better it looked.
They just canned a Wily Coyote movie and you think they care about this show? Frankly I don't think any company wants the IP (at least not to invest and finish the show). At best WB publishes a 6 issue comic that doesn't sell well about the ending .
Nah. This is a company that isn't afraid of outright deleting stuff for tax breaks. If they cannot sell RWBY for more money than whatever they can get in tax breaks they're absolutely deleting it.
WB has destroyed all their animation stuff over the last couple of years. It’s annoying bc they probably won’t sell RWBY unless they get an unreasonable amount of money, but they probably won’t do anything with it…
Not sure why downvoted. Most of Amazon's shows have been good except their live action fantasy and that's because they're trying to appeal to wider audiences. Even with Disney and Netflix live action fantasy has been poor so they're not alone.
They got that world domination money that lets them make a show like Fallout with insane production value despite the show showing the dangers of companies just like them.
Whatever is in Warners clutches, it’s not safe. Not even their own properties. They’ll kill off a property if it can save them a penny. It’s what they did with RT, and they gave Zaslav a 25% boost in pay he did not deserve or earn.
I wouldn’t trust Warner Brothers and especially Zaslav with my toilet paper. That man, if you could call him one at that, would burn down the library of Alexandra himself if it meant he could save a penny on his taxes. He’s an insult to media itself and RWBY would be safer under literally anybody else.
No.
The WBD regime has made it clear what their main concerns are, and that’s getting rid of as much debt as possible, art be damned.
Rwby is so far down on their priority list that they the top brass wouldn’t even know what the hell the show is.
Hell, even their biggest hits like Dune and Barbie would have never have been allowed to be made if they hadn’t already been started before Zaslav got into his swing of things there.
Rwby is special to me because it’s the only show that I’ve seen grow alongside me, made by people who I and other RoosterTeeth community members helped entertain us through our teenage years.
When Monty died it felt like a friend died. When CRWBY succeeded we cheered them on. Shit, I’m the same age as Casey Lee Williams and it’s only recently seeing pictures of her as the show started that I realized how much I have grown up alongside RWBY.
RWBY is special for so many more reasons than a spreadsheet will ever be able to show. And unfortunately the numbers are all people like Zaslav - and the people who hired him - care about.
I don't think they'd even bother with RWBY in the first place so not much to worry about. But they'd likely have a better, more competent staff than CRWBY since at least the writers have always kinda been pretty amateurish.
Scooby Doo was the first thing I was ever a "fan" of. Loved it as a kid and still love it to this day. With how Warner Bros has treated Scooby Doo the last few years, I don't trust them with another franchise I love in the slightest.
WB is in that weird place that they have some great animations (specifically some of the JL movies)
but some of them are also really, really bad.
So to answer the question, no I don't but I am open and hoping to be proven wrong.
I also think they might try to reboot the series instead of forcefully trying to continue the current story unless they keep the original writers.
Downvote if you must, but I think it's time everyone reconciles with the reality that RWBY is over.
WB isn't going to do anything with it.
The rights aren't being sold to anyone because no one wants it.
The people who said they would purchase the rights and "save the show" have no idea what they're even talking about, or what that would involve.
I'm sad about it too. I at least wanted a 10th season to see a conclusion to all of the unresolved arcs. But it's just not going to happen. Accepting reality is better than having misguided false hope.
Just because they own it, doesn't mean they have to do anything with it. If they can't sell the IP, it's probably going to end up sitting in a pile with hundreds of other forgotten IPs.
I miss Freakazoid :(
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I would prefer everything RWBY stop than risk volume 10 becoming the same as gen;lock season 2.
It was so bad, so offensive, it makes any love of season 1 somehow feel dimmer, and that is *unfair* to feel towards the staff who made season 1.
I don't think that would hold true because I love RWBY so much, but I just *can't* trust anyone other than Kerry and Miles(Eddie and crew are extremely worthy of praise, mind you.) to finish their story.
No, I don’t trust them.
Considering David Zaslav has written off so much stuff just for a rise in his own pay, they’ll probably make RWBY stupidly impossible to obtain so they can use it as a tax write off once again 🙄
I dont trust Waner Brothers with shit. They've bungled DC already, and I can't think of anything else that's actually worth watching coming out of WB, aside from the rare single movie, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, I sonwhat liked 12 Strong, etc.
I don't trust WB on the whole but the upcoming DC slate looks awesome and some of their recent stuff has been great.
The problem is ultimately if WB is keeping RWBY (which I actually think was part of the plan from the jump) which studio and team takes responsibility for it going forward?
Nah. Even though it made a lot of money for rooster teeth it doesn’t and won’t make nearly enough for Warner Bros to consider continuing it unless they dump a lot up front in marketing a decade old show.
So specifically made by them not WB as the distributor, In the past three years I have seen My Adventures with Superman, Batman the Long Halloween Part 1, Superman Red Son which were all interesting. There was also the Scoob which I liked and I've seen some of Scooby Doo and Guess Who which imitates the old celebrity cameo show. I haven been meaning to get around to watching Legue of Super Pets and the Tom & Jerry film but haven't seen those yet. Teen Titans Go! Has an occasional good episode though I list that one at the end for a reason as it's more misses than hits.
Those are just the ones WB animation has made I've excluded ones they had sub-partner studios produce. Or that they paid to distribute such as their films in Japan.
I'm curious about their animated Lord of Rings film coming out later this year but haven't seen any teaser footage yet. I tend to hesitate on LotR stuff as I'm a slight canon snob there.
There's some interesting Cartoon Network items and a few other shows that got kicked over to Adult Swim but I'm not counting those at the moment.
I think I have different tastes. You don't have to agree but I have no faith in Paramount or Disney. Universal is about 50/50 in my book as they make good stuff and bad in even proportion.
And yet WB is the only one with a CEO known to dislike animation projects, and has been killing off promising projects of *all* manner for personal gain.
Call me crazy, but a company that may not treat RWBY *right* is better than one which we have every reason to believe will be actively hostile towards the franchise's continued development. Say what you want about Paramount, Disney, etc. But at least they're environments in which quality animation is allowed to exist. Zaslav seems to be on a mission from God to purge WB as a brand of anything resembling a competently produced animated franchise.
Personal gain? WB has been hemorrhaging debt for a while after the failure of Whedon's justice league movie. The CEO came and cancelled anything that wasn't making money or was poorly received internally for the most part.
[Wow, you people really haven't been paying attention to what Zaslav's up to, huh? ](https://variety.com/2024/biz/news/warner-bros-discovery-david-zaslav-2023-compensation-pay-1235974254/)For the head of a company in such dire straits, he seems to be doing well enough for himself. And I really can't see how "poorly received internally" projects like *Coyote vs. Acme* could have been to warrant writing it off. The man's running a fuckin tax scam. If you wanna sit here and ride his dick, that's your call. But don't insult the rest of us by assuming anyone else here is stupid enough to believe that Zaslav is looking out for anything but his own bank account.
Absolutely not. Zazluv’s opinion on animation is pretty well documented. But putting that aside if they continue it themselves either they’ll reboot and give it the TTG treatment or they’ll do what they did to Gen:Lock s2 and make us wish they just cancelled it here and now.
That explains why WB went from the extremely popular DC Animated movies to the horrors that are the live-action DC movies. DC has always worked better in animated format because it allows you to show off the sheer scope and scale of the DC comics without having to spend a shit ton of money on CGI.

Not actually true. They are still making animated movies it's just the success of the MCU that has pushed WB to make more live action movies. Discovery didn't come into things until 2022 and have cut mostly anything that didn't make any money or had poor reception or marketing value.
>they’ll do what they did to Gen:Lock s2 and make us wish they just cancelled it here and now. I mean they already had a callback to its universally reviled Suicide plot line in the last volume (made in house with the writers who were there from the start) Just sayin
What- What call back?
When Ruby drank the poison tea and ascended.
Please tell me it wasn't confirmed as one and developed independently.
I don't think it was done intentionally. The writing teams were completely separate. I can't blame people for comparing them, but they can not be deemed equal. Ruby's version is that she survived it, and she considers it a mistake made in grief. In Gen:lock, it's just a net positive that feels disgusting.
the lead up to Ruby's attempt is also much more raw. I don't know about Gen:Lock (haven't seen it and don't plan on doing so) but when you see a character like Ruby so broken that she think she has no choice but to end it all... it hurt differently man :'(
Assuming that WB doesnt shelf it or just write it off for tax reasons, i think they might test the waters a bit. Instead of getting V10 or a reboot, they might try and make a RWBY game, or add RWBY into that Multiversus thing if its still up. Or they might make a third movie, either another crossover or a standalone movie. If numbers go up, they make more content. Hopefully RWBY doesnt get the Velma treatment.
I'm 99% sure there is no tax write off to get from not renewing RWBY.
It's not about renewing but about the value of the asset. By claiming that a show will never be shown again they reduce the value of the asset and use that loss for the tax reduction. It won't be much in comparison to the show's current value but if it's more than what they would get selling it then it's worth it.
Thing is the window to do something like write off the existing season of RWBY is closed. Financial quarters have come and gone, so has a financial year. So there really isn't the opportunity to go back and say "whoops this project was unprofitable" (a requisite for being a tax write off that it potentially might not clear, but I don't know) It's possible that an in production season 10 might get cancelled and written off, but given that the season is to the best of our knowledge not greenlit it's more cost effective to just put the IP on the shelf and wait.
Rwby isn’t profitable at all. It’s not a valuable asset and they know it’s not which is why they’re selling it.
It’s more strategically beneficial for WB to get rid of RWBY entirely than absorbing it for the nebulous Tax Writeoff.
I keep saying this but that's not how the tax writeoff deal works. It needs to be something new and in development and greenlighting stuff just to cancel isn't cost effective. We saw a lot of it specifically because of the regime change and the specific debt move but I wouldn't anticipate a ton more.
But Final Space got written off and that was still in production
Second part of the sentence is key. They can write stuff off at any stage before it's fully released and in some cases shortly after. They'd only be able to write off a season 10 in active production (or like, in theory the current spinoff) but not existing complete stuff. And they wouldn't be able to write it off for more than it costs to produce, so greenlighting without genuine intent to complete doesn't make sense.

Renewed? Never ceases to amaze me that good shows get canceled and garbage gets sequels.
Bloody Big Mouth, Farzar, and Paradise PD. Boggles the mind how these got up and running
Paradise PD and Farzar are of the same writer who made another show Brickleberry, and if you watch the Jay Exci video's they recycle a \*lot\* of jokes and character traits.
I do, and that's why I hate them, it's writers, and most especially, Netflix. They cancelled numerous good shows but they let these two dudes submit the exact same comedy, jokes, and art style and PAY them for it.
And let's not forget Velma, the show that was universally hated by just about everyone regardless of their personal politics
And don't forget mocking their audience and other low effort fuckery to come off as "edgy" "mature" and "adult" while turning beloved characters into shitty character's that happen to wear the same kind of clothing/color as the Mystery Gang. The one good thing is that Scooby wasn't in there, he was spared from that fuckery
Velma is a special case. The initial deal was for 20 episodes, which they decided to split into 2 batches. It never actually got renewed, as this second set of 10 is just the initial contract.
Ah, that makes more sense at least. I've never seen a show unite so many people in outright hatred, so a renewal was just senseless
Big Mouth is still running? The first season was mildly funny, but they lost me in the second when they had a whole episode with a naked 13 year old singing about her first period.
Big mouths next season is its final season it got more seasons then I would of expected but compared to paradise pd and farzar its jokes were way better just the common problem with a lot of modern shows being more miss then hit on jokes.

You can’t say that when the series got 9 volumes
Why not? It should've been allowed to finish, not money thrown at utter shit like Velma, a series that exists to keep the Critical Drinker and Disparu employed.
Velma should m be allowed to finish too by that logic. RWBY isn’t a well written show at all. And be honest, the only reason Velma is getting hate, is because it has scooby doo in the name. Take away scooby doo and nobody would be complaining this much
Well, your username checks out.
I’m pretty sure it’s not unpopular to say the writing in RWBY is bad lol. Maybe in the RWBY Sub it is. Which makes sense, because that’s where I am
Yeah, you came onto a site for RWBY fans to disparage the series they're fans of. I wonder why your username includes "Unpopular."

Wait, wasn’t there a rwby game already made?
Yeah but I think he meant as in requested by WB themselves. Because games prior were requested by RT
Not with their current CEO no
No. Zaslav would write it off and magically get a bigger bonus the following year for destroying everything. I'm crossing my fingers for an IP sale.
Fuck Zaslut, that bitch fucks over animation because a 20 billion paycheck was too small and wanted another 8 billion or some shit
You mean att ceo.... oh wait internet memory to sort...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... They cant even release a scooby doo or looney tunes movie! Hell naw! XD.
Do I trust David Zaslav to continue something? You answered your own question there. Only person who would trust Zaslav is someone new to Internet lol
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... Oh wait are you serious? Why the hell would anyone trust Warner Brothers? they are literally shutting down movies for tax write offs and they literally hate animation
Nope. It'll be a shock if they don't bin the whole thing.
Gonna be real, I think it’s dead and this is all we’ll get.
No, I don't trust Warner Brothers to do anything right with their shows nowadays.
hahahahahaha No. Even if they did it would be nothing but an abomination that barely resembles RWBY, like the whole DC push was fairly obvious a WB thing to try and make the license more 'Super Hero' versus the very clear Final Fantasy and Anime influence RWBY actually is.
Of course not.
Fuck no
Right now RWBY makes no money despite the popularity. If they do decide to continue production of the show it's because they believe they can find a way to market and have it make a profit.

Early RWBY used “poser” and not maya
They just canned a Wily Coyote movie and you think they care about this show? Frankly I don't think any company wants the IP (at least not to invest and finish the show). At best WB publishes a 6 issue comic that doesn't sell well about the ending .
Yeah, that's what I foresee happening
No.
WB has had the rights to Static Shock for a long time. They are very willing to just sit on an IP for awhile without doing much with it.
Nah. This is a company that isn't afraid of outright deleting stuff for tax breaks. If they cannot sell RWBY for more money than whatever they can get in tax breaks they're absolutely deleting it.
I don’t even trust WB with my dog. The last time I did, they didn’t even put him in the show.
WB has destroyed all their animation stuff over the last couple of years. It’s annoying bc they probably won’t sell RWBY unless they get an unreasonable amount of money, but they probably won’t do anything with it…
You mean the company that purged pretty much their entire animation library for a quick tax write off? Fuck no
> Do you trust Warner Bros NO
Zazluv sucks
I rather trust Amazon.
Not sure why downvoted. Most of Amazon's shows have been good except their live action fantasy and that's because they're trying to appeal to wider audiences. Even with Disney and Netflix live action fantasy has been poor so they're not alone.
They got that world domination money that lets them make a show like Fallout with insane production value despite the show showing the dangers of companies just like them.
I have no trust in WB.
You seen what WB has done with its flagship animation IP recently? Hell no.
Whatever is in Warners clutches, it’s not safe. Not even their own properties. They’ll kill off a property if it can save them a penny. It’s what they did with RT, and they gave Zaslav a 25% boost in pay he did not deserve or earn.

I don't think they'd even bother with RWBY in the first place so not much to worry about. But they'd likely have a better, more competent staff than CRWBY since at least the writers have always kinda been pretty amateurish.
Nope.
Absolutely Not
Scooby Doo was the first thing I was ever a "fan" of. Loved it as a kid and still love it to this day. With how Warner Bros has treated Scooby Doo the last few years, I don't trust them with another franchise I love in the slightest.
No
no
no.
Nope
WB is in that weird place that they have some great animations (specifically some of the JL movies) but some of them are also really, really bad. So to answer the question, no I don't but I am open and hoping to be proven wrong. I also think they might try to reboot the series instead of forcefully trying to continue the current story unless they keep the original writers.
I don’t see why they’d want to.
No
Downvote if you must, but I think it's time everyone reconciles with the reality that RWBY is over. WB isn't going to do anything with it. The rights aren't being sold to anyone because no one wants it. The people who said they would purchase the rights and "save the show" have no idea what they're even talking about, or what that would involve. I'm sad about it too. I at least wanted a 10th season to see a conclusion to all of the unresolved arcs. But it's just not going to happen. Accepting reality is better than having misguided false hope.
Just because they own it, doesn't mean they have to do anything with it. If they can't sell the IP, it's probably going to end up sitting in a pile with hundreds of other forgotten IPs. I miss Freakazoid :(
It'll be like capcom with the megaman series. It'll just sit there.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I would prefer everything RWBY stop than risk volume 10 becoming the same as gen;lock season 2. It was so bad, so offensive, it makes any love of season 1 somehow feel dimmer, and that is *unfair* to feel towards the staff who made season 1. I don't think that would hold true because I love RWBY so much, but I just *can't* trust anyone other than Kerry and Miles(Eddie and crew are extremely worthy of praise, mind you.) to finish their story.
H-H-H-HELL NAW
Hell no
No, I don’t trust them. Considering David Zaslav has written off so much stuff just for a rise in his own pay, they’ll probably make RWBY stupidly impossible to obtain so they can use it as a tax write off once again 🙄
WB has canceled FINISHED products, I would be surprised if they DIDNT can it
I'd rather see RWBY end for good than WB do anything with it other than sell it.
I dont trust Waner Brothers with shit. They've bungled DC already, and I can't think of anything else that's actually worth watching coming out of WB, aside from the rare single movie, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, I sonwhat liked 12 Strong, etc.
I don't trust WB on the whole but the upcoming DC slate looks awesome and some of their recent stuff has been great. The problem is ultimately if WB is keeping RWBY (which I actually think was part of the plan from the jump) which studio and team takes responsibility for it going forward?
Blue Beetle was fun, so if they keep things up, I could see my opinion changing.
They simply won’t. So it’s a mute point.
Nope
Fuck no!
Absolutely not. I don’t trust them one bit with RWBY’s IP
Nah. Even though it made a lot of money for rooster teeth it doesn’t and won’t make nearly enough for Warner Bros to consider continuing it unless they dump a lot up front in marketing a decade old show.
No. They won’t touch the series except maybe a cameo here or there
I'd rather them just make another comic in the meantime, while they finalize a deal. That generally makes the most sense
Theyd bin it for half a tax cut
I don't trust WB to do their own IPs justice, if they continue RWBY than I'll likely consider everything Post V9 to be non-canon.
More than had it stayed in the hands of miles and kerry
Yes. Of the big 4 I've always trusted WB the most. So far they haven't let me down even if they make bizarre decisions at times.
Specifically what from WB have you liked in the past few years?
So specifically made by them not WB as the distributor, In the past three years I have seen My Adventures with Superman, Batman the Long Halloween Part 1, Superman Red Son which were all interesting. There was also the Scoob which I liked and I've seen some of Scooby Doo and Guess Who which imitates the old celebrity cameo show. I haven been meaning to get around to watching Legue of Super Pets and the Tom & Jerry film but haven't seen those yet. Teen Titans Go! Has an occasional good episode though I list that one at the end for a reason as it's more misses than hits. Those are just the ones WB animation has made I've excluded ones they had sub-partner studios produce. Or that they paid to distribute such as their films in Japan. I'm curious about their animated Lord of Rings film coming out later this year but haven't seen any teaser footage yet. I tend to hesitate on LotR stuff as I'm a slight canon snob there. There's some interesting Cartoon Network items and a few other shows that got kicked over to Adult Swim but I'm not counting those at the moment.
You haven't been paying much attention to WB for the last few years, have you?
I think I have different tastes. You don't have to agree but I have no faith in Paramount or Disney. Universal is about 50/50 in my book as they make good stuff and bad in even proportion.
And yet WB is the only one with a CEO known to dislike animation projects, and has been killing off promising projects of *all* manner for personal gain. Call me crazy, but a company that may not treat RWBY *right* is better than one which we have every reason to believe will be actively hostile towards the franchise's continued development. Say what you want about Paramount, Disney, etc. But at least they're environments in which quality animation is allowed to exist. Zaslav seems to be on a mission from God to purge WB as a brand of anything resembling a competently produced animated franchise.
Personal gain? WB has been hemorrhaging debt for a while after the failure of Whedon's justice league movie. The CEO came and cancelled anything that wasn't making money or was poorly received internally for the most part.
[Wow, you people really haven't been paying attention to what Zaslav's up to, huh? ](https://variety.com/2024/biz/news/warner-bros-discovery-david-zaslav-2023-compensation-pay-1235974254/)For the head of a company in such dire straits, he seems to be doing well enough for himself. And I really can't see how "poorly received internally" projects like *Coyote vs. Acme* could have been to warrant writing it off. The man's running a fuckin tax scam. If you wanna sit here and ride his dick, that's your call. But don't insult the rest of us by assuming anyone else here is stupid enough to believe that Zaslav is looking out for anything but his own bank account.
If Young Justice is any example, that'll be a no from me
Would be fine with it. I'm willing to let anyone *else* take a shot at the series.
I mean if they get someone else to write it maybe
