Justice League Films STOLE Budget?! ... No! - RWBY News and Information

[@callmegekkouga]

People really don't know how budgets work.

[@temptationspiper]

It IS possible some of us old folk are remembering the GenLock situation where that show stole some of volume 5s budget if I recall. But yeah, that was different. BOTH those shows would have been funded from the same place unlike the JL movies.

[@adammyers7383]

I remember when these movies were first announced and the very first reaction was to blame them for the v9 delay. People are just looking for reasons to be upset at the CRWBY.

[@OathKeeperRiku07]

No one understands how budget works in tv or anime

[@UnrealNeoBat]

This reminds me of Mortal Kombat vs DC universe back in 2008. That was also a crossover nobody asked for especially back when DC is not as open to see your favorite heroes in R rated content.

Thank you for bringing clarity to a sea of misinformation

[@johnsmith5922]

I really do appreciate your videos giving everyone unbiased and drama free information for those of us who choose to stay away from social media.

[@robinrising_]

I'm glad you think so! There were tons more crew members speaking out about this stuff, but they also spoke in response to the drama or other people talking about this in bad faith/not believing the crew about what they were saying. So I chose not to include those perspectives since the ones I _did_ share already had the important stuff covered.

[@johnsmith5922]

@@robinrising_ It's easy to make assumptions. The fact RWBY is still funded in house is shocking enough. That unfortunately does not give much hope for volume 10 unless RT can find backing from another source. I'm actually mildly confused by the exclusively deal with Crunchyroll as I assumed it meant they were providing funding in exchange for having this one year contract. Kerry has expressed some clear hope they might be willing to fund volume 10. So I wonder what the deal is there.

[@robinrising_]

@@johnsmith5922 Yeah I assume Crunchyroll helped them fund V9, but I believe V9 was originally funded internally back when it was originally greenlit alongside Volumes 7 and 8. That's what Kerry's likely referring to.

[@cyrus9424]

People not understanding how show budgets work and blindly believing misinformation. This is just about an animated series. I can only imagine the stuff they're believing when it comes to more important issues.

[@k9ready690]

Thank you for clearing that up.

[@DarthTingleBinks]

The most the movies could have possibly affected V9 in any way, is how long it took to complete, because the same crew was working on three different projects at once. And also, that is basically confirmed by Kerry, as he stated the movies gave their crew more time to continue working. They could have technically done one project at a time and it would probably result in largely the same time frame from the start of V9's production to the release of the second JL film, but still. More projects, means more time to work. And since they ALL came out this year, it means they were working on all of them at once, extending how long production lasted on each project. And keep in mind, I said "basically". This is still 100% speculation until it's confirmed.

[@robinrising_]

I'm not 100 percent sure you're saying this, but just in case you are, it's something I want to clarify for others who might read this: It did extend how long production lasted on each project, but the overall time spent on each project is the same as it would have been otherwise. It's just that the same amount of production time was stretched over longer period of the calendar. In short, it didn't make anything cost more to work on multiple projects, so the budgets weren't affected negatively.

[@DarthTingleBinks]

@@robinrising_ I basically said the same in a less cohesive way, but yes.

[@robinrising_]

@@DarthTingleBinks gotcha. I didn't intend to put words in your mouth, but that was a sentiment I wanted to respond to just in case someone else might have thought that when they saw your comment.

[@milferdjones2573]

It standard in Entertainment for each funding pie to be fully separate. Especially when the funding comes from different sources.

[@AndrewSnake]

Dint RT come up with the picht for the Justive leage crossover to WB? And afte this ,this remind me of a theory why the show Velma exist , that Mendy did all that for her friends having a job during pandemic. this sound similar But what really stops v10 ... what stoping now compare to rest .

[@robinrising_]

RT did pitch the movie to WB, yes. But they probably did that because they didn't have enough of their own money and wanted to have external money fund their projects.

[@AndrewSnake]

@@robinrising_ i can see that , but the part about giving 1.5 year of work , what abotu RvB final seasson , should that be enoght work , i mean there could as well picht to 343 ,but no detail is giving

[@robinrising_]

@AndrewSnake the teams that handle RvB and RWBY are very different. Jenn Tidwell in the video is one of few people who work on both projects, which is why she's still at the company. The others had to be let go.

[@thewarminecraft4983]

shit this is bad, but my guy keep us updated of volume 10

[@LiveAndLearned]

I really want vol10 greenlight, the Justice league crossover was Allright but I'm just waiting for vol10

[@matteomiriello1661]

The next volume will be announced after the film?

[@nathanrock1082]

I agree with Robin fans don't know what they talking about some people can be Idiots. But I for one enjoyed the main story and the 2 movies they are awesome.

[@whiskeyii]

We live in a timeline where my cult-classic niche video game franchise (NieR) got a megahit sequel out of nowhere (NieR:Automata), and where more than a few shows I'd written off as being lost to the 70's in licensing hell got actual physical releases. I'll keep trucking along til the day where I get to be pleasantly surprised that Vol 10 has finally been greenlit. (Though if I had to make a guess, I'd wager that Vol 9 just had a bigger budget as a pre-covid project that got slashed when the pandemic hit and folks got laid off en masse just in general everywhere, and this was some kind of cost-saving measure.) Great work as always, Robin!

[@MABfan11]

i really hope we get any info about the budget cuts so that we can put an end to this confusion

[@thedarkemperor334]

Red vs Blue is coming back for a final season (but I'm sure there will be spinoffs in the future) and Camp camp is getting another season so I'm hopeful for Volume 10. I do hope it isn't the final Volume of the story though. #GREENLIGHTVOLUME10

[@thewalrus45]

It was really fucking something seeing people trying to correct people who've ACTUALLY WORKED IN THE INDUSTRY on how budgeting for animated series works.

[@blazingstudios7781]

Yeah and how long did it take for Samurai Jack's final season? (Please do not let it be that long)

[@vazak11]

Good stuff!

[@Keith_Norman]

The one smart decision that they did for Rwby

[@WARLORD626]

It didn't make any Money for obvious that I can't say on KZbin.

[@BladeOfSteel-Sword_Saint]

I swear we gone over this before v9 aired.

[@TheZanitor]

The issue is that they aren't telling the audience what caused the budget cuts (either COVID-19, incompetence, working at home or etc) and thus we just assumed that movies were the cause of it. The problem being is that the movies were made alongside volume 9 or so since they don't specify what caused the budget cuts thus we point at the movies. Sure they have stated that the movies did not cause it but the issue is what did then or are they just lying (due to their reputation). So honestly it not a good situation for them.

[@SHSLRuby]

They *did* tell us though. It was COVID-19.

[@TheZanitor]

@@SHSLRuby okay yet they have time to make the JL movies and volume 9. Along with genlock season 2.

[@SHSLRuby]

@@TheZanitor The cuts were not due to time. We were told that they got an extra year to work on JLxRWBY. (Several animators even talked about how they were happy because without it, they would've only had 1 year worth of pay for V9) Also, they never even animated Season 2 of Gen:Lock, that was done by HBO's staff.

[@TheZanitor]

@@SHSLRubyActually genlock was outsourced to other companies. But yeah I guess your right, since it would make sense.

[@jgebieber2323]

rooster teeth rtx 2024 just got cancelled sorry to inform you

[@robinrising_]

I'm well informed. Don't worry about it. Though I won't make a video about it since I'm busy with the holidays and also some editing work that I do for a different channel.

[@tiktokcompilations797]

So if they had seperate budgets, than that means the problems with Vol 9 was just their fault

[@MewDenise]

Stole budget? No. Should the justice x rwby movies be a thing? No.

[@Ammy-q4w]

Why are people so against it existing? I don't recall this kind of hatred for the Justice League x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Crossover.

[@sonicspeedproductions2.04]

​@@Ammy-q4wI thought it was Batman x TMNT

[@reddragon2943]

RWBY + Justice League movie was so bad.
