Subjecting Kresh to RWBY: The Shinning Beacon Part 2

Leave a comment

We’re back with more Subjecting Kresh to RWBY. In the last episode Ruby was having a rough start at Beacon before the initiation, but she did meet a new friend in Jaune, so there’s that at least.

This time around Yang tries to be a supportive big sister, but that might just backfire a little bit! Blake just wants to read, Weiss just wants to sleep, Yang wants Ruby to make a few buddies… and as for Ruby? She just wants to fit in as the “normal girl, with normal knees”. Unfortunately for her, things aren’t going completely as planned.

Let’s see how much Kresh likes this episode, shall we? It should be a fun romp through the first night at Beacon Academy (so long as you’re not Weiss and Blake, lol).

RWBY Fan Song: What I’m Sorry For

This is a Raven fan song, obviously and it’s about Yang. It’s been posted for a while now over on YouTube, but I only just got around to posting it here as well.

RWBY Fan Song: Loneliness Like Mine

Hey everyone, it’s Kern here! I’m coming at you with a RWBY fan song for the Freezer burn pair (Weiss and Yang). These two are amazing, even if they aren’t a canon ship. I hope you enjoy it!

Subjecting Kresh to RWBY: The Shining Beacon Part 1

Leave a comment

We’re back, with more Subjecting Kresh to RWBY where we’ve started Volume 1, survived through the first episode’s set-up and made it to Beacon Academy. In this next episode, The Shining Beacon Part 1, our four main girls hit the campus with sparks flying (and a little bit of red dust to go along with it).

Ruby crashes into Weiss by accident, Blake acts a little catty, and Yang’s enjoying the campus life to her fullest as she buggers off with her signal buddies. This really is just a set-up episode more than anything, giving the main cast moments to play off of each other.

Catch up on our full YouTube playlist here:

This episode, much like the last, really comes down to needing to start “somewhere” and this episode is quite short in comparison to the last one. That’s probably the main issue with Volume 1 in general is that the episode lengths fluctuate wildly. While some are almost 12+ mins in length, others barely break the 5 min mark.

All in all, Kresh found it enjoyable, even though Weiss comes out of the gate fairly snootily, and Blake’s really no better. It’ll be like that through Volume 1, for better and much, much worse. Personally, I think Ruby makes the strongest showing in this episode, where as Blake and Weiss have fairly unclear motivations and personality traits this early on.

Honestly, if you took them at face value, you wouldn’t see much of what they’re about… long time fans know better than to take either of these two at face value because often emotions get away from them early on.

Jaune makes his first real appearance, and it’s a strong one if you ask me. He’s genuinely likable here where he isn’t always so later on as the series continues onward. Jaune has moments of true insufferably, but that in middling Volume 1 plot lines.

Like the last episode, I do happen to have a few fan songs regarding the events in this episode.

Well, that’s about all from me for now. Watch the reaction video for yourself to hear our simplified opinions and to see how Kresh feels about it all. There’s not too much to discuss in this one, so we’ll see you next time.

This has been Kern of The Demented Ferrets, where stupidity is at its finest, and level grinds are par for the course. See you next time! Meanwhile if you like what we do, consider supporting us on Patreon, and check out some other content below.

Final Fantasy (NES) Review (1987)

I’m coming at you with a game review of Final Fantasy. Yep! We need to go back to where it all started. These days the game is kind of messy and doesn’t hold up the way slightly later titles do, but let’s not judge it too harshly… it did after all save Square Soft’s butt…

Subjecting Kresh to RWBY: Volume 1, Chapter 1 Ruby Rose

Leave a comment

Hey everyone, it’s Kern here, coming at you with the first actual episode of RWBY Volume 1, and Kresh’s reaction to it. In this episode, Kresh gets to see my favorite male villain, and my all time favorite character in the entire series (Glynda Goodwitch).

So, let’s enjoy a good dust shop heist, and Glynda laying down the law about Ruby’s vigilante justice. Also, Roman’s cigar, because that poor thing gets squished terribly… what a waste of fine tobacco, am I right?

Start at the beginning of the playlist for this reaction content by going here (YouTube Playlist)

The whole point of this episode is to establish the main character motivations for Ruby and set her up to go to Beacon Academy two years early. Due to basically being in the wrong place, at the wrong time (namely the dust shop that Roman robs), Ruby shows off her combat skill. This gets her noticed by the headmaster of Beacon Academy and Professor Glynda Goodwitch.

Although Ruby’s two years too early to be attending Beacon, and if Glynda had her way Ruby would be sent home “with a pat on the back, and a slap on the wrist”, Ozpin has the final say. When Ruby admits that she wants to go to Beacon Academy “more than anything”, her fate is basically sealed.

As far as RWBY Volume 1 is concerned, this is an establishing episode for the series and only really functions to be that… nothing more. The airship battle is pretty much the highlight moment. As far as even the Volume 1 fights or the trailers preceding them are concerned, this is a pretty weak fight over all. Still, it does what it sets out to do, and it provides a mostly solid start to the series.

Personally I really like this episode, but I knew to expect it’s relative weakness because I’ve seen the series so many times. I wasn’t sure that Kresh would like it, but I was pleasantly surprised… then again, as Kresh says, they had to start somewhere. That’s kind of the theme for the first few episodes of the show, and it’s a good thing that her expectations weren’t too high because Volume 1 doesn’t really start getting good until Emerald Forest related plots, and the eventual “The Stray” and “Black and White” story lines that really make Volume 1 what it becomes.

I’ve actually made a lot of fan songs for the characters and events that play out here in the episode. You can find them here in event order:

Hopefully you enjoyed our reactions to this episode, and you’ll stick around for next time when we finally get to the Beacon Academy campus. Until next time everyone! This had been Kern, of The Demented Ferrets, where stupidity is at it’s finest and level grinds are par for the course.

RWBY Fan Song: Autograph

This one is called Autograph, and the reason I made it was because I was inspired by Volume 1 of the series where Ruby comes into contact with Glynda for the first time.

Jurassic Park Review: A Hauntingly Gorgeous Masterpiece That Still Roars

Hey all, it’s Kern here, coming at you with another classic movie review. It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these, but I suppose it’s better to write one now than never. I chose Jurassic Park because it’s such a beloved 90’s classic and the franchise is still ongoing. I’m not quite…
