I used to be big into Rooster Teeth when I was younger, I have a lot of mixed feelings about how I feel about the company, its shows, and the talent behind the shows.
This news really isn’t that surprising tbh but man… it’s still a little weird to see.
Despite my qualms about the animation side of the company, I hope that some of the shows they had produced find new homes and can (maybe) continue.
Fuuuuuuuuck, I follow someone who works there, it was his birthday yesterday. What a shitty fucking thing to happen.
Zaslav needs to go, but at this point I have no faith that they won’t just replace him with someone equally bad or worse.
Thats wild. I also had a big rooster teeth phase when i was younger, and while I’m not exactly sad to see it go its definitely another hallmark of how bad the corporate media landscape is. WBD’s shutdown and cancel everything strategy is so murderous for pop culture as a landscape.
It does look like WB is looking to sell Rooster Teeth’s animation IP’s… which is… interesting.
maybe there’s hope that some of the people that work on RWBY and stuff have a chance to continue the work, I think I saw a few of Monty Oum’s former colleges looking to buy the rights to it but we’ll see how that goes.
