I just didn't like the damn V3 fight preview. It was slow, it was nowhere near dynamic enough and it was too focused on comedy.

I know I'm not exactly renowned for gushing about RWBY. I adored the first three trailers, tolerated the fourth, considered V1 to be OK and V2 atrocious, so I'm hardly a die-hard fan. I've criticised the show at length before, and admitted to being a fan of YouTubers who outright HATE it. But even I can confess that one aspect of the show that is downright brilliant, its raison d'etre, its Unique Selling Point, is the fight scenes. They are smart, well-choreographed, high-octane and fun.

This, on the other hand, just rubbed me the wrong way, for the reasons I described. It felt like a bad parody, a cruel pastiche of Monty's work, or in other words, an absolute fucking travesty.

That's why I was annoyed. That's why I was cynical. That's why I was sullen. They claimed that they were continuing the show as a "tribute to Monty", but this shite is equivalent to spitting on his grave. I don't know if it's a good representation of what to expect from V3's fight scenes, but if so, we do not have a lot to look forward to.
