NEWS: Viz Media Acquires RWBY Series, Will Explore Production of New Chapters

No, 12 years is not along time ago. It is only a long time ago if you are 15, or may be 20. But 12 years is like noting at all for the bulk majority of of people.

Yeah, um, no. It's not. Much of what was talked about today was then. It was 2012, not 1982.

It seems universally agreed that RWBY went off the rails shortly after losing the series creator. Viz can either pick up where Rooster Teeth left off and try to steer the series back to Monty's vision, or abandon it entirely with a reboot.

ike the other user said, 2012 was a different time than 2024. it would be like comparing 2012 to 2000, y'all wilding

So now we get to what people are really complaining about. Fictional queer characters that don't even exist yet. Nvm the current RWBY already has a canon lesbian couple so I think you're in the wrong fandom. And queer characters existed in TV shows in 2012. You're acting like this is the difference between the 90s and now.

I didn't see anything about gay people in that person's post unless it was edited. But if you're going to invoke that then you should probably know 12 years ago gay marriage was still not legally recognized nationwide in America. 12 years is an incredible amount of time in terms of culture. We're only 4 years out from the 2020 pandemic. 4 years before that was the 2016 election. 9 years before that was the iPhone. 6 years before that was 9/11.

But I can also understand the desire for a reboot, as the writing in some of the early seasons was pretty weak, sustained in large part by the brilliance of the action scenes.

Same sex marriage was legalized in the US like three years after 2012 and even before then most of the states already had it legalized in 2012 and Legend of Korra was also 2012 which had lesbians.

Rooster Teeth failed it, I just hope we get different voice actors this time. We don't know if it'll change for the better or not.

and about korra, the episode that featured the lesbian relationship is "Partners" (Season 3, Episode 4). It aired on August 15, 2014. not 2012, and it was highly controversial within the avatar fandom to the point that bryan Konietzko admitted it was only done to appeal for shippers.

either way, korra while has its fans is not viewed positively as Aang' part of the story by the majority of the fandom.

Considering their little FAQ very slyly avoids talking about a new season to the main show, it pretty much guarantees they're going to reboot it, like there's no way they won't, anyone with even minor knowledge in marketing knows the longer a serialized media product goes on the less accessible it becomes, and considering how irrelevant rwby is these days, there's no way anything Viz makes following the main storyline is ever gonna pay for itself (RT had to go to Crunchyroll to even get their 9th season funded at all, and then had to take on those ill-conceived Justice League crossover movies to even keep the lights on for a little longer).

Edit: Just to clarify I'm talking about if they keep things animated, maybe they'll resort to a graphic novel or a book to finish their story.
