RWBY "The Culling" Worldbuilding Short | Fan Animation

[@catherga]

I love it when Grimm are allowed to show a hint of intelligence and malice instead of just being easily duped beasts.

[@dainbramage781]

Something tells me if that Grimm with its fighting style was actually in the show proper that it would be a major season boss like the Nuckelavee or Leviathan. You'd need a whole team of Huntsmen to take it down. Crazy good animation on the fighting scenes and the atmosphere was perfect for the slaughter that commenced. Awesome.

[@madnightguard6296]

Not really, I guess you're not very familiar with the supplementary material and all the countless abilities and attacks common Grimm have been shown to have

[@doga9742]

It would have been awesome. Considering how the franchise loves using Grimm as just canonfoughter and how they killed off the hound, I feel like its death would be rather anticlimactic and would just killed off easily.

[@dennmael4044]

This guy's scary, for sure. And definitely showcases why you don't want to be in a settlement too far away from a huntsman or huntress. However none of those town guards had aura, let alone semblances. My guess this was pre-aura training and pre-discovery of dust. That or any warrior or dust-user was out of town at the time.

[@johndo8477]

It would definitely be interesting, but I think you would need Monty in order to get the fight choreography right

[@Zack_Zander]

Similar to the Nuckelavee, but not to a Leviathan level. Leviathan seems to require more than just a team (an entire army with a giant robot had trouble fighting it) while a Nuckelavee just need a well coordinated team.

[@soulcyclone360]

Whatever this Grimm is called, it's amazing and sells the intellectual abilities of the Grimm and what really makes them terrifying. In the show proper its explained that Grimm get stronger and smarter the older they get but really we've only seen the stronger side of that idea, but this sells why the Grimm aren't only a danger to people, they aren't the stuff of nightmares just because they have raw strength and overwhelming numbers, they are fear craving murder machines that love the negative emotions of their prey. This honestly reminds me of the Transformer spin off show, Beast Wars, specifically the debut episode of the character Rampage. In the final moments of the video I can almost here Rampages voice coming from this Grimm before it finishes the job. Also, I get the feeling from this Grimm that it not only feels and is attracted to negative emotions, but actually enjoys terror. Not fear, but sheer, hopeless, terror. Which is why it left the last guy alive for so long, so that it could instill that feeling of 'oh shit, I'm going to die' for as long as possible. It shows that the Grimm don't just kill people aimlessly or becausethey were just told to by a higher power (Salem/the god of darkness), but that they are sadistic and enjoy what they do, at least for this or older versions of other Grimm. Also the fight scene was amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@awesomeperrymexd7180]

It definitely emphasizes the value of Huntsman/Huntresses. If Grimm aren't coming at you in endless droves, it's a few or even just one doing so in an approach you ain't gotta clue on how to counter. You could study a foot-thick textbook entirely dedicated to conventional tactical combat, to the point you can recite it word-for-word, and it would barely help. Grimm come in unorthodox forms and fight in unorthodox ways, which is why humanity uses unorthodox fighters. No matter how ludicrous it may look, or how hurtful it's to the faith in your ability, Hunters make Grimm a LOT more beatable and you a LOT less dead.

The addition of the fog, and never giving a full view of the town made everything so claustrophobic. Ugh. I'm gonna salivate over this for days. My lingering question is "where are the guns? Is this significantly before the other videos?" But that's such a small point, barely worth registering, great job anyway. Keep up the phenomenal work!

_Somewhere in an independent principality outside Vale, 300 BV_ (Before the signing of the Vytal Treaty) Once, Sanus was home to many independent states of varying sizes and power. The lucky ones were absorbed into Vale's territory and protection, whether willingly or by force. The unlucky ones, or the ones too damn stubborn in their independence, did not survive to the present day. One major contributing factor to their downfalls was their often having a lack of access to any substantial amount of Dust and what primitive firearms existed at the time. Another was the liability to encounter Grimm of classes never encountered before, which could sometimes take out entire villages on their own due to the often-woeful state of their defences without a full scale Kingdom to back them up.

I do wish we could've seen a little blood but I can understand how it wouldn't be easy to do especially in a 3d program. I can't wait to see more of your animations!!

[@KeybladeWielderXV]

This short reminded me of when General Grievous made his debut in the 2003 Clone Wars series. A one of kind, unstoppable force of nature that was fully capable of cutting down even the greatest warriors with ease. This Grimm elicits the same presence. Cunning, precise, lethal, swift and sudden. An apex predator that enjoys the thrill of the hunt and slaughtering anyone that stands in its way. Simply amazing!

[@NAH1907]

Long ago, there were Hunters but they won’t one for humanity/fanuskind. Those Hunters while a few and far between rarely seen by most folks of that time, but one and only one were able to decimate an entire small town. Barely anyone survived them, and anyone that do were left defenseless to any Grimm or bandits nearby. They were called Mors Canis-Ventaores or simply Death Hound-Hunters.

One big problem I have with RWBY nowadays is the fact 99% of the Grimm seen on screen aren’t very threatening. They’re treated as a nuisance at best and some rpg mini-boss at worst by the protagonists. THIS immediately solves that, showing how poorly the common people deal with the Grimm. Granted, this Grimm here seems to be much more intelligent and lethal than the average Grimm but the absolute brutality of the kills just adds to how much someone can feel for your average person in Remnant. Also something the actual show is missing. Does this Grimm have a name by the way? I vote for “The Skinner”. Also funny story, just today I remembered your content and was wondering when you were going to upload again. Funny how that works, huh?

Grimm actually aren’t that much of a joke since volume 4 which a lot of people are mad at since they “nerfed” the characters. It was real bad at the start.

I respectfully disagree. The Grimm have only been getting more threatening since V4 had the centaur Grimm at the end. They needed the silver eyes to beat the kaiju, and Team RWBY had an extra hard time with the Apathy. Hell, one even beat Blake in V8. The only ones they beat easily are the ones we've seen so far.

@@rpsyco “The only ones they beat easily are the ones we’ve seen so far”, why do you think I said “99% of the time”, genius? The Grimm like the Geist and the Nuckelavee (not a centaur) are treated as mere mini bosses, as I’ve said. And that Leviathan was a joke, all that thing did was destroy a tower that didn’t even kill anybody. The Hound was pretty awesome but it was killed off way too soon. And that fight with the Alpha Sentinel or whatever it was, was stupid, Blake beat Torchwick one on one, do you honestly expect me to believe she’ll have trouble with killing some oversized slug?

Not every grimm is going to be powerful enough to slaughter several huntsmen, or else the world would've been overrun a very long time ago.

[@nicholasshealy9040]

@@rpsyco Right, I’m the rude one and you’re the fanboy who ignores criticism. I’m saying there’s too much cannon fodder, just look at the episode in Vol. 7 where 80% of all that happens is fighting Grimm. We don’t see the Grimm cause any major damage and even outright IGNORE civilians. There isn’t any tension or stakes during the Grimm fights, something I’m sure that’s only been felt in the final few episodes of Vol. 3 and MAYBE 2. And your calling the Grimm in this short animation the “mini boss”? I’ll ask again, how? We see this thing wreck shit up and essentially allowed us to see what the show has yet to, well, show and is conveniently the thing I talked about yesterday; the fact how poorly the average people deal with the Grimm. THIS makes us care because we SEE it happen, that’s why a lot of people don’t give a rat’s ass about the people of Mantle and Atlas. It especially doesn’t help that 90% of the population, if not more, escapes. Oh, and not to mention this thing WINS and the only other Grimm in the show managed to get a win on the protagonists is now dead. So how in God’s green Earth you think this thing is the “mini boss” is beyond me.

They see nothing but death and carnage until they get to that last area.

Bro, you don't disappoint. Keep it up! You're killing it!

[@KillerOrca]

Ahhh, excellent. The Grimdarkness of Remnant that no one in the show seems willing to really acknowledge. SATISFYING.

[@defectivedetective99]

I wish rwby played more with the ferocity and beastly nature of thr Grimm, it would really ramp up the tension and make the Grimm even more horrifying

[@octaviandoroteja8512]

NOW THIS IS WHAT GRIMM SHOULD'VE BEEN TRATED LIKE, gods deamn this is scary Like that grimm General-Grievous-ed their way through those soldiers.

[@jalenjohnson0339]

Wow that was terrifying I love how you made the Grimm more terrifying and more of a threat compared to the show in the past. It also shows that without huntsman training people outside of the kingdom have no chance against the Grimm.

[@MaskOfMockery]

Gosh, I've been waiting for RWBY episodes that actually shows something like this. Great job! Also, perhaps you can make video of an elder Grimm slaughtering huntsmen and huntresses sent to exterminate it next?

[@madworldisrael7584]

Bruh, that would be so dope, seeing veterans huntsmen/huntresses getting their asses handed to them by an ancient Grimm, which would have gone so well with what Dr. Oobleck said about "the older a grimm is, the smarter and stronger it is".

[@bentoarukin]

"Why kill those people?" Rax: "Haha World Building lol"

[@CaptainScorpio1998]

How I told my friends with same interest about Raxacory's new upload "Do u remember this guy? He made the DARK Rwby short. The horror one in which the grim breaks the girls legs(shivers on remembering that)"

[@michaelsaid8883]

Incredible omg. What a Grimm! All the lives it took, insane!! 😳 I can't wait to see what you come up with in the future.

[@dyproxus1806]

You deserve so much more attention for this stuff. That's an ingenious grimm design.

[@dantealejandro7860]

the creature sort of reminded me of General Grievous

[@codmas3r623]

Wow actually showing the monsters as monsters and brutally people on screen. This would be great for actual RWBY.

[@gooddeusvult3071]

Yoooo General Grievous the Grimm Pog

[@estaticethan1752]

Well. That was interesting. I mean really I do like the concept and the grim design. However, there's one thing that's a bit of a pet peeve of mine. It is that the armor those people were wearing... Yeah, I'm not a fan, but I could see that they might have taken some inspiration from "Lobster armor" from Germany in WW1. Other than that, it's fantastic. It's great to show the people trying to defend their homes against the grimms without a kingdom or huntsman to protect them.

[@spacecore94]

That grimm looks like a Bionicle And I love that

[@OmegaLittleBob]

Yoooooo! That was SIIIIICK! Awesome work! This definitely feels like canon for before Dust and Huntsman were a thing.

[@DMphobia]

I really enjoy the kinds of Grimm that seem way to intelligent than they should be, enough so that it's comparable to-or even surpasses-a human's intelligence. This Grimm seems to toy with it's victims. It understands the humans can't significantly hurt it, but it still takes it's sweet time to walk over there as they're firing arrows at it instead of rushing in like some kind of wild, untamed beast and slaughtering them without remorse. The way it walks past the last knight left, holding his head in it's claws, and it spins around him to stand behind him before killing him? This thing is sadistic. Hell, even the name makes me think of how smart it is. "Culling" implies it's killing the humans off systematically & selectively to make room for newer, younger livestock, like how a shepherd culls their flock of sheep for meat and wool, and to make room for younger lambs to grow and then be slaughtered later on. All of this screams at how intelligent and sadistic this thing is, and that kind of Grimm is the only one that *genuinely* terrifies me.

[@oaksap1915]

I love the design of the grimm! It was wicked seeing that grimm lurk around and kill.

[@Tindog42656]

Even though this is a fan animation I like to think this is why huntsman were made even though regular Grimm are terrifying they can be stopped by trained civilians.

[@adamadeyinka5753]

The design of this Grimm is awesome

[@LunaKey]

DAYUM THAT WAS VIOLENT...more pls 😂

[@demetriusprime1505]

WORLD BUILDING!? This sounds like blasphemy! And I approve! Jokes aside you make the most interesting Grimm designs. I question how much it costs to get a gun though cause not even Ren's dad had a gun and I think the village was based around rich people or well off people wasn't it?

[@KillerOrca]

Presumably easier the closer you are to major cities, but even there most civilians dont seem to be armed. Guns dont even seem all that common for people to own, melee weapons dominate.

[@ShadowGaming-ft4fh]

Judging by the centaur thing, lots of hunters used bows

[@panzermkii7675]

Now that is Grim...Dark, thank you.

[@KDB349]

Damn, I actually got the chills. This Grimm must be a level 100 boss lol. Personally if I saw everyone get wiped out like that, I'd hide in the buildings... then again Grimm can smell fear right? That's the lore? It's been a long time since I've watched. I'd die regardless 😅
