It's over...

DISCUSSION

The Rooster Teeth website/app has officially shut down. I can't even finish the RWBY series like I had planned to. I can't believe this is real.

I first started Rooster Teeth with Wiz and Broomstick's Death Battle series, and since then, I've been watching this company grow. It never failed to keep me entertained, and I couldn't ever wait for something new with them.

And now...they're gone...

If I'm being honest, I was introduced to RWBY through Justice League X RWBY part 1 & 2, and I liked those movies very much. I had gotten to Volume 7 and was about to start on Volume 8 when I heard the announcement. Rooster Teeth shutting down, and all thanks to Warner Bros.

I want to say more, but I'm just to sad to comprehend this. I wished Rooster Teeth was still around. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm not going to be posting anything for a while in order to cope with everything that has happened. I wished this wasn't my first r/RWBY post, but alas.

Thank you, Rooster Teeth.

Thank you.

There is an announcement coming about the future of RWBY too.

If you want to help RWBY in turn, watch it on Crunchyroll, where I believe it's still hosted to this day

You can also google "RWBY free online"

Or, I could give you a couple of links where you can watch every single episode, from Volumes 1 to 9 and Ice Queendom. More if they got uploaded.

You were introduced to RWBY through the movies?

I guess they did serve their purpose after all…

VoidTorcher

⠀

17d

Isn't that a major reason for having a crossover? I know nothing about RWBY prior to it.

ComicCat12

17d

I think it was to introduce DC fans to RWBY, though judging that WB has shut down Rooster Teeth, it seems too little, too late. In fact, I believe that it was the films themselves are why Rooster Teeth shut down.

Professional-Luck-84

17d

nope. David Zaslav hates animation. he's been canceling animated series, firing artists and writers sacrificing completed films as tax write offs ("coincidentally" those movies were either based on comic characters or were animated) RT was going down no matter how well they did. the man thinks scripted content "is a passing fad" y'know scripted content like plays which have been around for over a thousand years? yeah to him its a FAD. expect no sane reason for anything he does it's all based on his whims.

Ok-Cantaloupe-851

Right? I did not expect to ever hear anyone say that.

Dazz316

There's rwby movies?

ShadowLDrago

17d

Crossovers with Justice League. They're enjoyable.

Dazz316

17d

Are they cannon?

Dry-Faithlessness184

17d

Yes/no. They're comsidered canon-adjacent I believe. They happened, but they'll never be brought up and anything in the main show that contradicts their events overrides side content.

Crwby was always weird in regards to what is canon in all their side stuff.

ComicCat12

17d

But now that WB’s selling off RWBY, there’s a good chance the crossovers would lose their Canon-Adjacent status, especially if they pull the films for circulation afterwards. Plus more recently they say the films are no longer canon .

Lycanthrope008

The movies were a mushroom samba in the Ever After.

Chemical_Durian_5381

I'm part of that group of ppl who don't care if it is canon or not, to me doesn't really matter I just like the 2 movie and that it.

wrasslefights

17d

Honestly, the "what's canon" issue is way easier with RWBY than most franchise stuff given how relatively few spinoffs and tie-ins there are.

The novels were written in house and are the only 100% canon thing, there's three comics series (including two more DC crossovers), three sets of Manga series (two features, one anthology), two JL movies, Ice Queendom, and Chibi.

Most of the stuff is in that "It's canon until it contradicts canon" zone that most licensed media has, which works just fine, honestly.

ShadowLDrago

17d

Canon adjascent. So, realistically no, but if you want to form a headcanon of them being canon and how that could work, go ahead.

Handro_Dilar

"Instance Domination!"

17d

No, you cannot use them to shoot things or people.

Dazz316

17d

Then what's the point

Handro_Dilar

"Instance Domination!"

17d

You watch them. It's kinda like television, but you control when you want to watch.

Dazz316

16d

What nonsense do you speak of!?

Handro_Dilar

"Instance Domination!"

16d

As per Merriam-Webster:

Cannon

a : a large, heavy gun usually mounted on a carriage

b : a heavy-caliber automatic aircraft gun firing explosive shells

c : any device for propelling a substance or object at high speeds

A movie is none of these.

Thank you Rooster Teeth,

whatever will be will be,

I bought the series on bluray on Amazon to have. It was a little pricey and I'm not saying that's the only option, but it is one if you wanted to go that route! Or maybe your local library has them available too?

Mr_Wayne1939

17d

Yeah, it's a bummer.

Though I'm glad to see i wasn't the only one who enjoyed the crossover and started watching because of the crossover!

Don’t give up on RWBY all of us are still holding out for hope that it’ll continue and even if it doesn’t there’s so many fanmade things that are pretty good actually

TabiGamingTNT

I'm not giving up on RWBY. In fact, my friend Mr. Conspiracy (we may or may not be the same person) is working on a RWBY X FNAF story based on the old Mario X FNAF game on Archive of Our Own or AO3

Oooo. Honestly I’m trying to find a way to integrate my OC into the story of RWBY but you know it’s difficult to do that without making it seem like it’s the MC

You can also find RWBY on Crunchyroll, idk about the Movies but the show you can finish there

Mammoth_Line3277

RWBY is still offically on crunchyroll, and 'unoffically' on about 15 different sites. There is also the rtarchive site, where the community has stepped in to save every bit of rooster teeth media.

Over the past 2 months we have, on numerous occasions, heard from the guys at RT that rwby is not going anywhere just yet, and will be finding a new home or some sort of continuation. At first it was just talks, but last we heard there have been quite a bit of advacements, and we have been told good news are coming soon. Likely a new studio or company is buying up the right for rwby, most are speculating it's crunchyroll, but dilliongoo and his team, most of which worked on rwby early on, even with monty himself, have said they'd like to purchase the series, but we know nothing other than 1 tweet.

On the last livestream, as far as I know, they said that in the current talks, the crwby is coming along for the ride and relocation, meaning atleast some of the writers, voice actors and animators are transferring with rwby.

I just hope it doesn't take 15 years for us to get new rwby content, as they've said volume 10 is already partially complete.

If only there were sites where people share all the possible content, right?

Just repeating what is being said, but yes it is still on Crunchyroll. The anime RWBY Ice Queendom is also there and there is a very real chance the series might continue on Crunchyroll anyhow.

You can still watch RWBY. Look up Gogotaku.info and pick one of the two links there. Then search up RWBY on the site you’re taken to. I can’t garuntee it’s safe though, mostly cuz I’m just not sure. But it should lead you to the official Gogoanime site.

Charming_Income_8069

Not gonna lie season 8 and 9 are a dumpster fire so it's better if you actually made fan fiction for what happened next in your head

Especially vol 9 cause it flows like a coked up 9 year old on speed and acid making a fan fic only 2 parts of it are good and that is the paper pleasers and Weiss ... Weiss was the only thing that made vol 9 a 3/10 and not a 1.2/10

WB actually wasn't the reason they shut down, it was because they were shady as fuck with business practices, sexually harassing and racially harassing employees, fans and even openly admitted to tons of other shitty things over the years to make money.

RWBY is not finished just because Roosterteeth was shut down, the story will continue with another company funding it

Professional-Luck-84

17d

if Zaslav is actually serious about sell RT's IP's and isn't just planning to ask for impossible prices so he has an excuse to burn RT's legacy to ashes. he did it with Coyote vs ACME why not any other IP he hates?

Erebus03

17d

Because it's not about hate it's about profit, if selling RWBY will net them more money then locking it away In a vault for tell rapture will get them more money then Warner brothers will do that

Professional-Luck-84

17d

go look at the ridiculous prices they listed for Coyote vs ACME, consider the fact they didn't advertise at all that they were looking to sell and then consider the fact they refused any offers from anyone who managed to notice the film was even up for grabs.
