I just finished the crossover. Spoilers. This is a half baked rant filled review from both a RWBY critic and a life long DC fan.
This animation was wonky even for rwby, there wasnt any fights choreography that stuck out to me and I just finished watching this like an hour ago. Like it was so boring my mind was just not intaking anything that could stand out. Even V5 and V9 had some good fights, and both of those volumes got huge budgets cuts because of some other project being released at the time (genlock and this crossover)
The dialogue was just such a mess. And the voice acting oy vey this was rough. Rwby usually has great VA work from the main's at RT, the funimation crew, and a boat load of others. This just felt so off, like the cast was just asleep. Did the voice director just give up like a minute in?
This story was such a mess too! I know combining 2 seperate universes is always tough I wont lie, but converting DC characters with too many varying powers, Supermans multiple powers, wonder womans godly gear, Batmans Bat-everything, Flash' speed force, Cyborgs various tech, Jess' rings many capabilities, and Vixen's animal powered necklace, its all too much to convert to 4 set abilities. Semblance, Dust, Faunus additions, and Rwbys "its also a gun" weaponry isn't enough to fit what I listed off above. Just send the rwby characters to the DC universe.
And side note, just use the teen titans. No power scaling argument needed, their strong but not stronger than the league and are still stronger than the RWBY verse. Imagine Ren and any Robin understanding one another about being orphans, or any Robin and Weiss getting some development about their rich dads. Blake and Damian can get along over their troubled past, or even Starfire and Blake since their the minorities (Tamaranian and faunus) of their teams, or Raven and Blake being goth baddies! Superboy and Yang, anger issues, Yang and Cyborg, learning to live with disabilities. Imagine the chaos of Nora and Wally west and Beastboy. Hell you could even substitute the Jessica plot with Raven struggling with her powers. Theres so much more potential here!
And jesus they did not handle the rwby characters any better. They were all so full of themselves and acting high and mighty comared to the experienced hero's. I'd argue that its cuz the league isnt all there and cant remember everything. But RWBYJNR dont remember anything either! Their all in the same boat so why are rwby treating like the league hasnt fought worse threats, as mentioned Brainiac(an alien with 12th level intellect) and Vandall Savage (an immortal from the caveman times) and while im at it why is a guy thats running a breaking and very obvious simulation a such a big deal anyway?
Shipping, oh damn right im going here. I dont wanna see it, No Superman x Ruby, no Batman x Weiss, no Wonder Woman x Blake x Yang, no Jessica x Jaune, no Cyborg x Nora x Ren. NO! NONONONO we arent doing this. Did we not learn how problematic Starco was? Did RT not learn from Ryan Haywood that grown adults and teenagers shouldn't go together? Seriously im starting to think RT has a problem, I know thats an understatement but at this point im calling it a prediction.
Alright time to speed run these individual character issues
•Batman's arc on staying on Remnant was dumb. Gotham is his soul purpose, and he doesn't need powers. He has never needed them, he's always been able to overcome and keep up with these gods with his wit, skill, and tech.
•Yeah Weiss was just Batman's sidekick. She felt so disconnected from the plot I thought I was looking at V4-5 Blake. Plus why was she so persistent on keeping Batman in Remnant? Was her daddy kink that bad, is she just into older men who are trapped as teenagers? Gross.
•Superman and Ruby's arcs were weak. Ruby leader arc was just so lame, like her significant leader moment was just "sneak jessica and jaune away for a sneak attack" jesus that was lame. And Superman didn't have an arc really, his semblance unlocking, leadership, and blame for getting trapped was all super undercooked.
•The Wonderwoman, Yang, and Blake dynamic was so forgettable. Like I genuinely couldn't remember that arc, was it like a warrior thing right? And were they like... flirting? Really? NEXT!
•Oh god go back to the other one! Not the Ren x Nora x Cyborg love corner, couldnt they have done something else with these guys? This is just sad. Shame on you RT
•Oh yay, Jaune mourns over Pyrrha again. This is after V6 right, so did we have to focus on Pyrrha being desd again? Like come on let her rest, even DBZ doesn't bring up Krillin death as much. I do admit, Jaune helping Jess out was nice, their interactions were sweet.
•I did like Jess' anxiety arc, I think it was handled very tastefully and was a great way to write her character. She's too fucking adorable, her VA was one of the good one's. This actually gave her some great spotlight that we dont see much of besides DC superhero girls
•And I actually liked Vixen, design was fine and the voice was good, even if her power was heavily underutilized. But she was cool
•Barry what did they do to you? Oh Barry no! Why did they flash and make him so... nothing!? He looks like Bart and Wally mixed together. And he's the twist villian? Why didn't the technology based supervillian yake over the technology based hero!? Barry was so boring, I knew he was gonna be a side character but bro why make him the boring twist villian?
•Killg%re. Oh fuck if im not using the percentage thing im not censoring it this crossover makes me too angry to follow the rules. So boring. He calls himself so brilliant and smarter than Brainiac and Vandall savage yet his simulation was so easy to pick apart cuz the grimm, their freinds and family, their timezones, and even their own memories are so muddled anybody can pick apart this is a dream! His plan was so bad, stick the league in another dimension? Good so far. In a simulation, okay it can work. Turn them into teens so their hormones kick in? No, moronic, i hate it, I hate this! And look, out of every villian, why Killgore? The idea of a crossover is to grab your big guns and use their names to gather up your audience. If you wanted a lesser known villian who can alter reality go with BatMite, Mister Mxyzptlk, reverse flash, the Legion of Doom, or jesus anybody? Not somebody so forgettable that even KGBeast is more recognized than him.
Well atleast it's over... wait, part one?
NnnnoooOOOOOO-

Dragon Age Inquisition Game Model Heights: Fauna and Enemies
Please note that none of these are canon. None of these numbers are reliable or meant to assert any sort of canon status. Some of these models do not appear the same size as in game.
I started pulling creature models from Inquisition for my bestiary project. Since my gaming computer died and it's hard to get a good screenshot on console, so I was hoping to do extracts.
But, I kept pulling them because I wanted to see if I could find a a rhyme or reason to ground my height estimates for the fauna of Thedas where I could. (Spoiler, I couldn't) I do however still find worth in these heights if for no other reason than for the fun of them. That said, I'm once again asking BioWare why they're changing the size of models in game so drastically with no clear system and scaling them up so drastically.
In terms of known incorrect scaling models, as in they do not reflect what is displayed in game, the following is what I know/can easily confirm: Deepstalkers, dragons*, dragonlings, fennic, giants*, great bears, large bears, lurkers, and phoenix.
* For the dragons and giants it is unclear which model's scaling is off, as in game we know that the giant is bigger than the vinsomer dragon on the Storm Coast. We also cannot confirm or deny if the dragon models are the same size across all of the different subspecies. I would say you reasonably could assume that given they all share the same skeleton, but I don't want to assume anything when it comes to scaling in Inquisition.
I would also like to note an update on some of the previously shared models from this post. I got better at blender, studied the models more to find the true shoulder, and thus these numbers have gotten more accurate. It's truly amazing what a mouse and hours of practice and study will do.
Methodology
These models are extracted from the game files using Frosty Editor in the measurement units of meters. I then brought the models into Blender. When it comes to measuring the heights, I'm measuring from the shoulder of quadrupeds, head for bipedals, and included some variations - such as additional height due to horns, crystals, ect. separately. For any creature with armor, helmets, ect, I measured from the top of their skull when possible or from an estimated top of their skull, such as with the Arcane Horror.
In terms of the numbers provided in measurement in Blender. I am taking the numbers only from the first 2 decimal places, I'm not rounding up nor am I rounding down in any area. When converting from meters to inches, I am only doing whole numbers so these will be rounded down if below .5 or up if they are .5 and above.

My Live Tweet thread of Gen:Lock
(I copy and pasted a Twitter Thread of my reaction to Gen:Lock. I'm more active on Twitter, so if ya want to see more from me, my @ is LeviJones101st)
I don't usually do this, but I decided to live tweet my watch through of Gen:Lock.
Let's see if this shit show was worth all the workplace abuse and fucking over of the Nomad of Nowhere.
Spoilers: I believe the answer is gonna be no.
Okay. Starting out and this is more of a small thing, but I've gotten really sick of Sci fi settings that always like showing off how super advanced they are by showing technology that does not look like it'd be used.
Like Dave and his girlfriend decided to take leave to visit his mom with……some kind of physical hologram?
Why? Why do this instead of just physically going there?
My nitpicking aside. This opener is actually really solid, establishing this mysterious threat that I totally didn't spoil myself on and making the main hero look likable.
"How did it get so close?!" Lady. If nome of you noticed that thing, ya'll would have fallen apart even if this Union thing wasn't around.
Okay, this opening episode was actually pretty good.
And….wooow that Theme Song does not match this kind of show. It's apparently a licensed song, which is just baffling to me.
They forced people from their other projects to rush their work on this show, they had a moral line not to force a rush job from Jeff and Casey Williams?
I mean, I'm happy for them not being forced to crunch out or anything, I just find it funny that's where they draw the line.
I like that Chase is actually taking all of this very well.
It's actually quite nice.
OH MY GOD! THEY SAID THE THANG! can I go home now?
Doc….I think they're meeting their future regardless……I mean the future is the time that isn't now…….so technically they'll never meet it.
Also, I do believe that people should grieve however they can……but Miranda is kind of an asshole. At least the lady in MoU said 'good to say ya again'
I actually really love Weller. He is just so casual about everything and I love it.
I'm actually getting into this show. It is a bit slow though, ESPECIALLY for an 8 episode season.
"Making soldiers out of children!" Lady. These are grown ass adults. We're these guys meant to be like teenagers originally?
WELLER! JUST TELL THEM THE SPY WASN'T COMPATIBLE!
Weller's speech about "making a difference" is actually quite nice.
I'm already halfway through S1 and while it's been slow going, I'm actually really enjoying myself so far.
Hey. They're saying the RWBY thing.
This Nemesis thing is actually pretty cool.
And the action is actually pretty solid.
Being in a digital space where you control the mech and can affect the mind and personality of the mech pilot is actually a very interesting concept.
I'm sure somewhere this idea was done before, but this is an interesting concept.
The Chase clone twist is actually very compelling.
"Your Deus Ex Machina!"
That's actually a very clever double meaning with the phrase, kudos.
It took us til the end of the season, but we finally got the genlocks in their promoted designs.
The designs do clash with the shows visual aesthetic, but they are actually cool.
Okay. Overall, this first season was actually pretty good.
I'll be watching the second season tommorow, since it's like 10:00 where I live and i have a cavity filling tommorow.
So if what I heard about Season 2 is true, ill be in for a double whammy of pain.
Got a cavity filling and I can't feel the left side of my mouth.
Sounds like the perfect condition to watch Gen:Lock S2. I might be out of it, so maybe there won't be much live tweeting.
Hopefully, people were just overexaggerating how bad it is and it's just okay at worst.
Though I doubt it given what I've heard.
Okay this theme song matches the show better……but honestly this one just sucks.
And immediately it's clear that it's a different person writing for the show.
"Kazu is just whining" no, he’s not. You're just being childish Chase.
Aside from some awkwardness with the new creative team, this first episode was actually pretty solid.
Are they…….are they trying to make the Union look like they were in the right?????¿
Also, a good showcase of why you can't just stretch something into a 16:9 screen format
The Union:
Tumblr media
Did the priest dude just use a deadass evil switch.
Wow, they really are tying to present this as a grey on grey conflict, aren't they?
Oh my lord they are.
OH WOELW! THAT SEX SCENE JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE!
It was a literal sex scene jumpscare.
Hmmmmmmm. I wonder if the Union, the guys who committed mass Terrorist actions, make machines that are over the topply evil, and took over the world, are the good guys.
Yasamin is the only character making sense in this damn show.
"They were so peaceful!" NO THEY WEREN'T! WE SAW GROUPS OF PEOPLE COMMITING SUICIDE! THERE IS NO RELIGION ON THE PLANET THAT ENDORSES IT!
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN FROM A RELIGION FUSION DANCE ANYWAY?!
Cammie girl, lass, my sister in christ….YOU LITERALLY CHANGED YOUR PERSONALITY! WHY CAN'T KAZU DO THE SAME!
Whose idea was it to throw in all the sex stuff?????? It's not gritty or gross or whatever, IT'S JUST BIZARRE!
Also, why did nobody mention this climate crisis in Season 1?
Also, are they trying to make the Union look like a cult, because that's what it looks like to me.
This shallow samurai shit made to crap on old school anime is actually crapping on bad modern anime.
No seriously, this roboshogun stuff makes me cringe so hard.
It's trying to mock old mecha anime like Gundam and the like, but instead it's giving me the vibe of a bad high-school anime that came out in the early 2010's.
Also, this might just be a me thing, but this attempt to jump around the timeline is really annoying. Just transition to one story and say their happening at the same time, yesh.
Toxic masculinity stuff. I am totally tapped out on this.
Another JumpSex. That's my new nickname for it.
AND WHY IS THIS BEING SHOW WITH INTERCUTS TO CHASE'S ACTUALLY INTERESTING STUFF.
"See how the Polity wars!" I do see……it is significantly better than how you guys do it
Wow…..Cammie is kind of a brat.
Wow. This making the polity bad shit is annoying.
And of course……Kazu's dead.
Who the fuck kills off a character after their arc just finished?!
Like……..narratively what does this accomplish????? And no 'showing the hardship of war' is not a good reason.
All this 'grey on grey morality ' shit has done is make me hate all the characters.
Except for Kazu and Yasamin…….and they killed the former. And the latter I only like because she is the only one calling out everyone's bullshit.
And now I have to listen to Marin try and justify fascism.
MAYBE TURN OFF THE SCREAMING HEADS WHEN PRESENTING YOUR SELL'S PITCH!
'Like my old one, but different' I want to throw a dictionary at your head.
This Chase corruption plot is actually cool and interesting, a shame it's not the actual focus of this damn season.
They're trying way too hard to portray the 'Flow' as a good thing.
"Man, this roboshogun thing is so graphic!"
Why are you people affected by a 2D cartoon with blood in it when you've seen a bunch of corpses.
Also, mandatory joke about how 3D characters see live action shows and that kinda thing.
Ew……just ew.
Marin is trying to stop a cult from ruling the world and everyone is trying to stop her 'evul' plan.
I hate well intentioned extremists Union. I hate it so much.
I love mechanic dude and I can never remember his name.
I have to say the LowTierGod cinematic universe is turning out to be extremely lame so far.
I praised RWBY Vol9 when It did this thing, but I think this show makes that stuff worst in hindsight.
Also, why is Cammie's model look so weird????
Does…..typo
WAITAMINUTE! YOU MEAN THE EVIL CULT WHO TRIES TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD IS EVIL?!
God, the ceo mech is so ugly
I haven't mentioned this, but man this show is so much uglier now
I actually really like the Chase plot, it's just a shame that it's buried in so much crap.
Oh my god, the last episode, I'm almost done here.
I'm all burnt out on this show. I'm just gonna point out what's funny from now.
YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF NOW!-The Ultimate Message of Gen:Lock
I love this dumb fucking ai thing so much.
God, at times the dialogue is so fucking bad.
God, I hate Sinclair so bad.
Also, the body horror is so lame.
Lmao! This beast thing was made out to be so big and might and yet it's so small next to the skyscrapers.
That's it? That's the climax???????????? WHAT?!
THAT'S THE CLIMAX?! THAT WAS SO ANTI CLIMATIC WHAT THE HELL!
Also, Genlock's message…..it's proud theme?!
Tumblr media
What did Chase's sister do to get to New York exactly????
I'm gonna fucking scream.
That's it? THAT'S IT?!
Fuck this 2nd season!
Fuck the higher ups for abusing the staff!
Fuck the pornbots who keep liking this thread!
IM DONE!
Tumblr media
I did this whole ass thread and I appreciate absolutely none of it.
On the plus side, I can feel the left side of my face again….mostly.

also idc about genlock s2 after everything ive heard about it but i feel the need to point out that its very clearly an hbo product now so if you wanna blame anyone for the show going to shit then point the finger at them instead of rt who have next to no creative control anymore

The irony about genlock 2 is that it kinda ultimately loops back around to Gray doing it to himself
If he hadn’t decided to do that shit he did (allegedly and all that), he could’ve had full creative control and a hot series on HBO max. whatever you say about the man it’s clear that he knew what he wanted that show to be, what themes he wanted to pursue, etc
but instead he tried to speedrun through the success that Monty got and now he’s gotta sit back as his baby gets essentially gutted to become a less charming, way grosser copy of itself

Cammie being alive doesn't even fix anything because they made such a big deal about her death, her suicide, they even put the message about reaching out to people and those who you think they are in need of help.
And now turns out she's not even dead.
Her death wasn't meaningful in a thematic sense, it was just some bait-and-switch made for shock and drama.

Listen, if nobody else is gonna say it I will...
I'd have no problem if they straight up scrapped this season of Genlock and started over.

Hm... I’m all for shows taking a bit of a darker turn or a more mature turn, but 3 episodes into this new season and so far, it’s... Not the best, especially with them really wanting to push the fact it’s for mature audiences now. You can really feel where HBO has taken control, and... While I do enjoy seeing them give us a bit of back story into everything, I’m not liking the general direction so far.
It’s tragic because I have been so excited to get a season 2, but it has not been... Amazing so far. It has its moments, and I honestly have to say I’ve enjoyed the first episode the most. Every thing after just feels... Wrong. I’m going to continue to watch to see how it goes, see if it does something that makes it feel worth it again, but I am not going to hold my breath.
There are trying a lot of things, and have retconned some things (like Yaz’s minimal backstory we got in season 1), and so far none of it has been amazing. It’s just been... Confusing.
I do hope it gets better - but I really don’t know how they’re going to fix any of this.

So unless when Yaz gets taken in by the Union (and healed from those bullet wounds) and made a pilot she gets surrogate parents who are secretly against the Union- we’ve got an error on our hands
