I mean if you introduce three separate soft magic systems, dust, semblance and actual magic and it takes four to seven volumes for you to actually define the difference that's something of a failure right there. That there is an explanation becomes a lot less important over how long it took to actually give it.

[@mystery8820]

Is it really 3 soft magic systems applied in this fictional setting? I thought Dust would be the hard-magic system, a system that requires a power source to cast magic. That along with Semblance.

[@quinnsinclair7028]

@@mystery8820 No. A hard magic system isn't one with limits, it's one that's thoroughly defined. You know precisely what it can do and what it can't. In the opening episode we are treated to a display of semblance, of dust, and (though we didn't know it) of magic. They were all completely indistinguishable from one another. The only hard things we got about dust was that it is generally elemental power and it has a concrete power supply. Otherwise it kinda just did whatever in any given situation.

I mean I think the problem he's pointing out is that the show has semblances, magic and dust, which all do fantastical things but they never actually explain what differentiates them. A semblance can generate fire, dust can generate fire. That's perfectly normal. But magic generates fire and that's out of this world.

[@SunLovinSolaire]

I kinda see Dusts and Semblances as Fate’s magecraft. While Magic is True Magic. Magecraft is a science, it still has rules and limitations that to someone well versed in it, are clearly defined. True Magic on the other hand is essentially; with enough power, you are god. Rules don’t exist for True Magic.

[@mordredvonumbra154]

Usual difference between magecraft and science is really well explained in ancient magus bride. Good watch.

[@DarthTalon5]

Magecraft at it's core is still magic though and it is nothing short of insulting to someone's intelligence to say it isn't magic just because this special true magic is more omnipotent. Same thing goes with the semblances/dust/aura in RWBY compared to the original/maiden magic. In both RWBY and Fate the writer's just want to make themselves look more clever than they actually are by being smartasses in ways that make people think they are being profound.

[@somberflight]

i was thinking more on the side of... a different school of magic. i mean "Science" is... not really correct when you realize its a literal superpower FUELED BY THE PERSON'S OWN SOUL. you don't get more "magic" than that.

I completely understand that sentiment. I think if you want to love a show and characters resonate with you then you are more likely to look past what others can't ignore. I think it's silly for people to assume that RWBY is perfect and everyone needs to love it. We all got our preferences and tastes. Sometimes things just stop tickling our fancy and we got to just jump off the fandom train.

[@Lupirio23]

Only thing that gets me is what he says about magic. Being that he drew Jinn and Salem it's obvious he knows the story and how Semblence/Dust/Magic are all connected. I can only surmise that it's a joke reflective on the actual plot of the starting volumes where no one but Ozpin/Salem/Cinder are actually aware of proper magic (being that Ozpin has been the gatekeeper of all information if you think about it over the eras) so everyone else only knows that there has been a '"Semblence" of magic' from time immemorial. So come the bomb drop that proper magic is revealed with characters going "Real magic, no way!?" It's humorous that it's a shock despite the cosmic powers everyone in this universe already posses that it's crazy to them for some reason. While I believe there has been a lot of making shit up as they go along; I do love how we're lead on to believe everything due to Ozpin's control, only for everything to unravel over time as we are brought into his secret peacekeeping and eventually the rug that even Qrow wasn't aware he was standing on is pulled out from under him by Jinn. I have gripes about the rediculousness of Ozpin apparently having no plan despite his age and accomplishments. But otherwise I'm invested to see where this is all going and I do like me my fighting scenes.

[@mordredvonumbra154]

What do ypu think about the fact that quarter of FNDM decided to brand Ozpin as evil for the sake of plot just because. Also i had my theory on what he was doing but people usually dismiss it so i will not bother.

[@Lupirio23]

@@mordredvonumbra154 I don't follow the FNDM so I wouldn't know. I just see him as trying to create an "ignoerence is bliss" world so there aren't more people seeking Salem for power and inevitably finding the relics in another war. Seeing as she's unkillable I can only surmise the plan is and always has been to simply "pluck the weeds" whenever Salem gets ahold of people and settle the world down in the aftermath, but for some reason; nope, he can't even think of that and so locks himself away in the back of Oscar's mind. It's a shame he couldn't have such an idea and be it the basis of his peacekeeping efforts with Qrow, but I understand that perhaps knowing your enemy is immortal could tempt you to change sides even if containment and repolsion was a solid plan due to the lifetime dedication it would require.

[@mordredvonumbra154]

@@Lupirio23 The thing is that everyone seems to ignore that gods will return and judge humanity when all relics gather together. I would plan to do just that whenever i would achieve 3 or 2 generations of goodness. Not the best plan but if you know you cant kill Salem then it seems like a doable thing. Also plot will make people who are good guys bad for sake of showin how team RWBYJNR are the only really good guys which is a bad thing plotwise but fandomtics (dad joke) will shoot you down if you critize anything. This type of behaviour didnt work so well for GOT. We shall see what it will do for RWBY.

[@Lupirio23]

@@mordredvonumbra154 Considering Ozpin is just 1 man cursed with all truth, if he was the King of Vale during the war then I think he's reformed peace repeatedly over the eras. Trying to tame the world is impossible due to human nature seeing even back in Maria's time Salem had henchmen as well as just criminals including the White Fang and Muffet's spider gang. Knowing that the gods COULD judge to just wipe existence for an unknown amount of variables is too great to risk with Salem. Thus Ozpin has resided to just manage the world as best he can with the only price being incomplete. I completely understand his methods if I'm correct but his latest decisions I feel do not fit.

While he made mistakes, lied often and kept plenty of secrets i believe he is judged way too harshly. What was the decision he made that seemed to not fit. Not attacking, just seeking input. What seemed weird to me for example is that while i understand why he didnt unmask lionheart to the public and i would do the same his rationale was partly wrong. How he deserved to be remembered doesnt matter even remotely as much as keeping Lionhearts image intact. If heroes and defenders of the world join forces with evil out of fear, what hope do we have left. I believe they wanted to paint him as very suspicious before big reveal. Also, why not tell that relic pulls grimm to it. If crew is aware of the danger they can work more efficiently to defend themselves. It seemed like making Oz suspicious by any means necessary because..... i dont know why. His decision to lie about amount of questions you can still ask can be understandble even if i have ambiguous opinion on the matter.

He didn't seem to grasp that Salem was playing a chess game that started in v1, that she was thinking 20 moves ahead and building panic that started with the dust robberies that were meant to force the city into disarray and hopelessness. Or that it was used to blow up the trains at the end of v2. Like he makes fun of the fact that they had a small budget, then complains about the animation like... you know why the animation isn't perfect, you're just being a douche now. And did he watch v6 at all? They basically explained what the difference between magic and semblances were in one scene in 6x3... the power man now had was simply a SEMBLANCE of what they once were. Semblances are magic, but not enough to be considered magic, in the same way a AA battery charges stuff, but isn't enough to be considered a generator. Most of it just seemed like a culmination of collecting fandom complaints rather than genuine complaints.

But a battery stores energy, while a generator, as the name says it, generates energy. They are fundamentally different and we can tell specifically how to differentiate between one and another. That is not the case here, just like a drop of water is still water compared to a sea, semblances must also be magic even if they are just a fraction of what it used to be, and yet the show tells us that they are different, but never why or how.

[@HaughtBreakerNic]

@@yiledute on the contrary. both a battery and a generator supply power, but you can't run a whole house on a AA battery.

[@yiledute]

@@HaughtBreakerNic that is what I said, both can supply and store energy, but the battery can't generate energy, a generator does. They are very different. It's like comparing a cartridge with a gun, both gave bullets but the gun can also shoot them, very different objects.

[@HaughtBreakerNic]

@@yiledute that's not a sensible comparison at all but ok. I feel like you're a really big fan of this dude and just need everyone else to be in agreement.

[@yiledute]

@@HaughtBreakerNic what are you talking about? since when this had anything to do with being a fan or someone? this is the first video I've seen from this channel. All I'm trying to convey is that the relation between semblance and magic in the show of RWBY is by no means similar to the relation between a battery and a generator

[@MewDenise]

Why is everyone reacting to this? They don't recommend it because it's funny but to try and make you join their side and stop watching the show

[@11sonicspeed]

Wtf are you talking about

[@windekresstadrd]

I disagree! I think its healthy to look at other sides of an arguement. It allows you to have a well formed opinion because other people help you see things you might not otherwise see or notice! His opinion might be different from ours but I think there are a couple valid points and it's a good laugh. I dont think the point is to make people not watch it. Its satire which is meant to over exaggerate problems and have a good laugh at those faults. Rwby isn't perfect but despite that we will keep watching. It's not because or how perfect of a show it is, it's because of our relationship and ties to the story and characters. One person on the internet (no matter how good at voice acting or art they are) is not going to convince me to not watch RWBY lol I think it's good for reactors to see the other side of the coin. It's good to laugh at yourself.

@@windekresstadrd 100% agree with you! Love the show and I love this video. Some ppl completely forget that satire exists. Mew, your way of thinking is horribly skewed.

[@Unyubaby]

To add on the what Kira and Blarf said, Jello never really explicitly states to stop watching RWBY. The most he says is to check out RWBY Chibi, the series that arguably does use the characters better. And he's had to have watched the series himself to make a review of it. He's even stated that he really liked Volume 6 and was curious how Volume 7 would be. At the end of the day, the important part of any show or series is to be able to step back from it and see that it's not perfect and people are going to point it out. Some people may do it out of malice, but some do it to bring those issues up so they get potentially fixed later on. We have to be able to understand that just because we like something doesn't make it perfect. I really love the series D.Gray-Man but holy hell does it have a ton of problems, and people are more than willing to point them out. That's just how things go.

@@Unyubaby 100% agree with. I forgot to mention the V6 thing so I thank you for bringing it up.

I'm really disappointed that you gave this guy even one more view. Really. Really. Disappointed. If people are going to do criticism or satire, at least do honest criticism and satire. He may have watched the show, but a number of the points he made were mean-spirited, misdirected, or just flat out wrong (like the "two season stealing Dust and they never did anything with that plot" thing. Yeah, they did. Explicitly. ) If you're going to criticize or satirize something, then at least do it the favor of being intellectually honest.

@@Hyperiem Really? So you don't consider "clips and clops so much it resembles a horse and lip flaps that look like they were done by a fish on a wall" to be insulting and hurtful, as well as provably false, to not be mean-spirited? Were I an animator who worked extremely hard for long hours etc. on something like this, I'd find it pretty damn hurtful. Are there elements of satire in this? Sure. And a few of them are even funny. But when you put an emphasis on something like the Dust plot and then get the facts about it completely wrong, it's not satire. It's ignorance, or malice. We are told by cinder that they are going to move the dust out of the warehouse. We then SEE the dust crates from the warehouse being loaded into the train cars when Ruby is being dragged to Torchwick and we SEE the crates surrounding the bombs in the train cars. For all the bitching that is done about "show, don't tell", this is something that was BOTH and yet this video focuses on that and completely gets it wrong. In addition, we are explicitly told that Faunus have one animal feature. So it explains exactly why not all of them have tails, or why some have four ears, which this video treats as some sort of flaw in the show or that an explanation for this is missing when it is explicitly explained! As to the "introduces a bunch of characters and then never develops any of them". The vast majority of those characters are introduced in a tournament arc as opponents or combatants. How many of the students in Class 1-B of My Hero Academia (as an example) do we have deep backgrounds on? Or the villains mooks (out side of the few primary antagonists) when the villains attack UA Or some of the other students in the Training Camp arc of Food Wars (as another example). We see a lot of other students competing in those events, but we don't get deep background on them, or even on the other residents of Polar Star Dorm other than Soma and Megumi. In MHA, a lot of those Class1-B heroes have pretty interesting looks and neat powers like the tournament arc characters in RWBY do, but we're not clamoring for deep dives into hyperdeveloping those characters. It's an unreasonable criticism. And right after the video complains about not developing characters, it takes shots at V4 and V5 as complete garbage, despite the fact that those volumes are extensively about developing characters, especially our primary protagonists and a number of the primary side characters like Qrow, Ren, and Nora, as well as the villains. And on the whole Semblances/Dust/Magic issue; we are shown and told in-universe that Semblances and the effects of Dust usage are pretty well understood as part of the natural order of things, but that Magic is shown through the characters' actions and reactions to its existence as being something exceptionally outside of the norm. it's consistent and kept consistent there. And I'm not even going to need to address the video's comment about the Blake and Yang thing. The reason for the bitching and bias there both in this video and a lot of similar trolling videos is pretty much summed up by the phrase " blatantly obvious homophobia", so the less said about that the better. The show is not without flaws, and not without some problems. Yes, it has had some stumbles at points, but it has definitely (as shown by V6) recovered from those stumbles in a major way. It's gone back to elements that made it originally successful in the early volumes and that has aided that recovery extensively. If you want to criticize it, then criticize honestly. If you're going to satirize, satirize things that are actual flaws, vices, or issues. Don't create ones that aren't there.

[@BabyGirlTiny]

Charlie Tango I had a lot to say about your pretentiousness and how wrong you are, but then I read that you think anyone who doesn’t like bumblebee is homophobic and that just told me the kind of person you are and you wouldn’t care or understand it. Just because someone didn’t see the “development” between Blake and Yang in volume 2 and nothing else, doesn’t mean someone is homophobic. that is faulty logic with zero evidence besides bias and shipping wars. You don’t like my ship, and my Ship are lesbians, you’re homophobic despite the fact that it has nothing to do with the ship being between girls but how badly done it was. But it’s a lesbian ship so you can’t say anything negative about it our you’re homophobic

[@charlietango261]

@@BabyGirlTiny no, my issue is that people are assuming it's a sexual relationship. Love between two people doesn't always mean sexual love. There's a Greek term, agape, that roughly translates as brotherly love. There's zero indication that the love between Blake and Yang is sexual, yet that's what a lot of people assume and react negatively, driven primarily by homophobia, when it may not be the case at all.
