Good things come to those who wait...?
Mar. 9th, 2024 12:34 pmRWBY, it seems, has not been totally canned.
Warner have given Rooster Teeth until May to close their studios. Rooster Teeth's RWBY team ("CRWBY") have expressed a desire to maintain control of the IP, but Warner is still looking to sell it.
Dillon Goo--who worked on early RWBY for Volumes 2 and 3, and works closely with Shane Newville--has expressed an interest in buying RWBY. This has the support of at least one ex-RWBY voice actor already.
Whether Dillon and Shane can actually do this, or what they would do if they did, is up in the air. Dillon's studio is relatively young and unlikely to have much money, especially given what Warner's asking prices will be. If they could secure investors, then maybe something could come of it. There wouldn't necessarily need to be a continuation of RWBY or a full reboot; they could simply buy it to make some funds off of merch and make different RWBY content.
Either way, it seems that I chose the exact right time to post my final thoughts on RWBY. I know that many fans of the current RWBY, driven by spite as they are, are insisting that "CRWBY" be brought along if RWBY is to be bought out (this is a terrible idea), seemingly not realize that Dillon and Shane are "CRWBY".
I imagine Jessie James Grelle is not the only person to feel like a Dillon Goo RWBY is worth believing in more than what RWBY looks like right now. The number of ex-RWBY fans most likely outnumbers the remaining diehard stans by a very, very wide margin.
Personally, I'm vying for a hard reboot from Shane more in line with what Monty envisioned. Some things are fate, and this seems like one of those things.
