User blog:Varzan Deodinm Beldinm/How RWBY is an improvement over Dead Fantasy

I watched the almost-recent let's play video of Burnie talking to Monty about meeting him and later employing him. They talked about Monty's previous work, such as Dead Fantasy, while playing Bayo-mother-f###ing-netta.

To get to the point, I got the sudden urge to watch abunch of mindless violence. I looked up a video containing all the Dead Fantasies put together and got comfortable. I was just itching to see more chicks fight with that extra Oum.

And maybe I may have watched Dead Fantasy too late, because I found myself comparing it to RWBY.

Why don't I just make a list and make things easy for us all?:

-Story: RWBY has one, and because of that story (whether you're watching the show for it or not.) actually gives RWBY balance. We all were so blown away when episode 8 came out because the previous 7 episodes essentially built it up. Dead Fantasy really has no story, or it doesn't have one that is worth remembering. For me it was just nonstop action with no pause, and I got bored because I wanted that balance that RWBY had. It's like being on a roller coaster that goes on for a bit too long, and eventually you just want it to stop for a moment.

-Action: We all know that Monty's fight scenes are incredible, but he definitly improved over the years. Dead Fantasy physics were just so inconsistent. One moment you see a character leap 10 stories high with no problem, and then the next they can only jump about 10 feet. RWBY at least gives an explantion for it's ballistic fighting with the use of gun ammunition to increase speed and velocity. Also, I'm glad the RWBY cast doesn't grunt and groan every time they swing their weapons.

-Characters: Goes hand-in-hand with the story. RWBY built up it's story and characters, therefore making us genuinely care for them. Dead Fantasy just throws characters from different games on a screen together and just pitted them against each other.

I guess the point of this blog was to point out that while Dead Fantasy was awesome for it's time, Monty Oum has definitley improved his craft and has given RWBY much more... consistency. Needless to say, Dead Fantasy was one hell of a ride and I'm glad I just turned my brain off when I rewatched it. ^ ^

Take care!
