While promoting Wish, Harvey recently gave an interview to ScreenRant and commented on filming WWDITS Season 6:
I mean, it's sad. We're all really sad, but I think it's the perfect amount of time. Think about it. Six seasons is a long time. Altogether, from the pilot until when we end the show, it'll be about seven years of our lives. Seven years of our lives is a long time to commit to a show that we love. We give it our best, but then eventually you never want to be on a show that overstays its welcome or a show that becomes like, "Oh, is that still on?" I'm proud to say that none of our seasons have ever made you feel that. If anything, it makes people want more. I think it's also a time thing where we're at in our lives, and the time that we have committed to the show and also the writers, they also have to decide how can we elongate this story, and how long can we go with it without making it, as you would say, jump the shark. You never want to jump the shark. So, I think we're really proud of the work that we have done and continue to do, and I think this last season is going to be the cherry on top. People are going to be like, "You know what? Yeah, that's the way to end this journey." I'm excited and also sad. We were just sitting with a cast on set the other day when Kayvan was getting nostalgic about, "Oh my God, I said that in the pilot," and he was just going down memory lane. It's just like, we've made lifelong friendships - like Kayvan and I have bonded so much, and he is one of my best friends. Literally, he calls to check up on how am I doing, and I go to London, where he and his fiancé cook me dinner. This show has gifted me so many things, and I think the best thing is a lifelong friendship.

Con: I think the show deserves a season three whether I'm involved in it or not. It was always David's dream to make three seasons. I would be gutted for him if season three didn't happen. As far as Izzy being involved, that's entirely up to David Jenkins.
Screen Rant: I did some Googling, and I found articles. One of them was titled “Our Flag Means Death Season Two's Best Character Isn’t Who You Think”, and it was talking about Izzy. The other one was “Izzy Hands is the Real Star of Our Flag Means Death Season Two”. Those were both headlines I found. What was it like to find out what Izzy’s journey this season was going to be? It’s had such an impact on so many people.
Con O’Neill: David and I spoke about it quite a lot before we shot, about the redemptive qualities, and I was delighted that we didn't suddenly turn him into a saint overnight. I was delighted that the redemption was complicated and layered, and I don't feel that Izzy disappears in any of it. I think he's very much who he always was, but with slightly more of an open soul. I was so grateful to David and the writers for creating an arc that was playable rather than Hollywood-ized and too easy. It was challenging; it was a very, very lonely shoot for me. I found myself gravitating towards my own company most of the time, mainly because of the hours. And, because if I wasn’t shooting, I was learning to walk on that f***ing leg. If I wasn’t doing that, I was sword training, and if I wasn’t doing that, I was body training, and if I wasn’t doing that, I was recording a song in French. So, I was busy. Our group is a group of beautiful people, and we would meet every Sunday for lunch. Christine used to arrange that. I found myself initially quite hesitant to join that, because it felt like I had this weight on my shoulders, certainly for the first four episodes. I loved it as an actor. I found it really challenging as a man on his own in New Zealand, where it rains [a lot].
Screen Rant: I'm a music nerd, and kind of a musical theater nerd; my favorite episode of this is the one where you're singing in it. I love those sequences so much, your voice is insane, and it's such a good character moment. How did the decision to make that happen—singing, and specifically that song--come about? Did they write that for you because they knew you were a singer?
Con O’Neill: We’re all walking around backstage, telling jokes, playing music, and singing; that’s just what happens when you shoot a show. David called me up while I was in Wellington. I was in Wellington for a week shooting something else. He called me up and he asked me if I knew “La vie en rose”; I knew it, vaguely, but I don't speak French at all. Then, he mentioned that they wanted to do it in an episode. So, I learned the English version, Dean Martin’s version, and then they asked me if I could learn the French version. I don't speak a word of French, not a word, but my partner does, and I had a friend who just played Edith Piaf piano—Jenna (Russell)--and between the two of them, they taught me the French version of the song. If somebody had asked me prior to this, “What song would Izzy sing?” “La vie en rose” would never have entered my head. And now, there's no other song that fits. That's the genius of David. David's very clever with music. We know that--we’ve all experienced how clever he is—but to pick that song for him, at that point in his life? Yeah. F***ing hell. That was genius.
Screen Rant: Your character died this season. How far in advance did you know that, and did that affect how you approached or thought about the season?
Con O’Neill: No. I mean, to be honest, I felt it was going that way. I've been around a long time, and when a character starts this kind of arc, especially in something as interesting as our show is… When David took me out for dinner, I kind of thought this was where it was going, and, partly, I was relieved. I'm not an actor who likes to just repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat. And, I knew that Ed and Stede were going to end up together at the end of this season, so Izzy, as he stands, wouldn't make any sense to still be there. So, it was a relief that the decision was being made. I was a bit upset because I love playing him, but leave them wanting more, you know? I will be eternally grateful for what they gave me; how they played him out in the show. The beautiful speech they gave me, the opportunity to do “La vie en rose”, and the opportunity to die in Taika’s arms and to be able to honor that relationship… I couldn't have asked for a better play-off, really.
Screen Rant: This season did introduce, with the Gravy Basket, the potential for someone who has passed on to return. If there was a season three, do you think your character would have anything else to impart on Stede or Blackbeard in a similar scenario?
Con O’Neill: You’d have to ask David Jenkins. I don't know where David wants to take it, and I wouldn't preempt that with me making up stories for Izzy in a flashback or ghostie Izzy, or whatever. I have no idea where David wants season three to go. I think the show deserves a season three whether I'm involved in it or not. It was always David's dream to make three seasons. I would be gutted for him if season three didn't happen. As far as Izzy being involved, that's entirely up to David Jenkins.
Screen Rant: So much of this season and Izzy’s journey is his relationship with Edward and his love for Edward, and so much of the conflict is about how much Edward is changing. Did you have an understanding of what version of Blackbeard, or Edward, that Izzy was looking for, and wanting to be around?
Con O’Neill: That’s a great f***ing question. Between season one and season two, in the interim, Izzy experiences a broken Blackbeard, and a Blackbeard that's never going to go back to what he was, because he's heartbroken. Everyone who's been heartbroken knows that you never go back to who [you] were. He just wants to fix Blackbeard. That's why he takes his life in his hands by confronting Blackbeard; he just wants Blackbeard to be fixed, to find his soul again, [and] to find his heart again. Whether he's involved in that is not relevant. What's relevant is, he loves Blackbeard so much that he wants him to find himself again. So, it's never Izzy’s version of Blackbeard that Izzy’s looking for. He's looking for Blackbeard to find himself again, and that's only through Stede.
Screen Rant: I was looking up the real-life Izzy Hands, who testified against allies to get a pardon and supposedly died a beggar in the streets of London years later. Would you have been interested in that, dramatically, if that was how his story ended on the show?
Con O’Neill: No, that's not our show. We're not historically [accurate to] those times. If we were, they wouldn’t have cast a guy who is 50 to play a 16-year-old pirate. I don't know. I'd love to be able to tell you what area that season three, if it ever happens, would go, but I literally have no idea. I don't think we're going to go down the historical route. I’d be very surprised if we do that.
Screen Rant: I don’t know if you’ll have an answer for me, but I saw that you initially auditioned for a different role. I love Taika so much; I feel like you would have also made a great Blackbeard. Is that who you were going for, initially?
Con O’Neill: Absolutely not, but thank you for saying that. I don’t see anyone else as Blackbeard but Taika. When Taika was announced, I knew what our show was. But no, it wasn’t Blackbeard. And no, I’m not going to tell you.
Screen Rant: Okay. Perfect. Well, clearly it all worked out for the best. I mean, you're incredible, and the whole cast is so perfect in their roles. It's been a pleasure to watch you and… yeah, congrats on the show.
Con O’Neill: Thank you so much.

Someone should inform Screen Rant of a few things:
the person at the helm of the talks about RWBY is one of the OG3. Monty was the creator but it was always a 3 person crew and I don't imagine that Kerry said member of the OG3 is going to go along with any direction for the show that isn't in-line with the show
while its not a clean-cut ending the volume 9 ending does leave off on a "and the story continues" type of ending and does NOT have RWBY stuck in another world.
Like ffs research the shit before typing up an article on it.

I've publically gone on record telling folks not to work for ValNet (the company that owns ScreenRant, GameRant, TheGamer, and CBR, among many other terrible nerd/media "news" outlets). They mistreat their workers badly even by the standards of Internet Media Outlets.
Here's another reason not to work with them or engage with their content- they're silencing independent journalists with ridiculous, fictitious copyright claims.

I'm not going to address the content of this one so much. It's as easy as pointing out they're conflating a feat of technique and skill with a feat of power. Granted, it's still absurd in terms of scaling, especially as this Roshi didn't get inspired by Goku and Krillin training together again to resume his own training, which implies he should have been this deft even in OG Dragon Ball, but I digress.
Tumblr media
No, what I really want to point out is the borderline venom used in describing these events from the Moro arc. It's like, unnecessarily hostile.
Tumblr media
Like Goddang, this almost reads like a fanboy Reddit post. Which, to be fair, Screen Rant probably stole this from in the first place. But... man. Maybe mask your hate for the other human characters just a tiny bit? Maybe?

tldw: Valnet, the corp behind websites like ScreenRant, GameRant, The Gamer, etc. copyright struck Fireborn’s video essay on their horrible treatment of contract workers for using a screenshot of the title, thumbnail, and summary of one of their articles. Fireborn suspects that the company is abusing YouTube’s copyright system to silence criticism.
let’s get the Streisand effect going guys. don’t let them live this down

Nina and Maggie interview with Caitlin Tyrrell for Screenrant :)❤
Screen Rant: I love this show so much! Season two is amazing and you both are phenomenal in it!
Maggie Service: Oh, thank you so much. Nina Sosanya: Thank you.
Can you talk to me a little bit about playing the human story in this largely Celestial series?
Maggie Service: Yeah, I think they're quite good grounding I think for the audience. It's almost like they're a connector between the Celestial world and the audience. I think that's been set up really well in season two. Nina Sosanya: Yeah, they kind of magnify the themes in a kind of human way that we find sort of quite relatable. The themes of good and bad. The themes of when and if to trust another person with your vulnerabilities, which is what's going on with Heaven, Hell, Crowley, Aziraphale, and, you know, everyone. Maggie Service: Everyone.
I love your characters' dynamics with Crowley and Aziraphale. Can you talk to me a little bit about working with David and Michael to create those relationships?
Maggie Service: Yeah, well by this point, their portrayals of Aziraphale and Crowley are just iconic. But my character didn't get to have anything to do with them really in season one. So it was lovely to actually meet Aziraphale and Crowley in season two and go, "Ah, yeah. This is, okay, that's who you guys are." Nina Sosanya: You know what's actually quite nice is also because they're so iconic that you read the book, you know the characters, then you see season one, and then as human characters, we get to treat them [as] they're just these normal blokes. So these characters don't know about their iconic status at all and don't care, really. They're just taking them at face value. Two quite kooky odd guys to be either suspicious or to be in awe of. Maggie Service: Just they're the loveliest men in the world. Yeah.
What was it like collaborating with Neil Gaiman this season on an original story versus season one where it was an adaptation?
Maggie Service: Well, his focus was very, very clear for what the story was going to be. [He] and Terry Pratchett had spoken about what the sequel would be. Season Two might be a bridge to a possible thing that may or may not happen. Who knows. We have to see how much people love Season Two first, but he was very clear on what it was. So actually, the scripts hardly changed at all. Quite often, you'll get so many different versions of a shooting script, but really, when they landed that's what we shot and that's the story we told. Nina Sosanya: But he was lovely. He was very happy being on set and watching his work comes to life. He likes actors and he likes that process. He likes watching the process of his words being owned by other people. He's very generous in that way. He sort of gives his work away to the actor. Maggie Service: Yeah, he likes writing for specific people, I think because he feels safe in that he can probably hear how it's gonna sound. So when it does I think he quite likes that too. Makes him feel quite clever and makes us feel like we've done a good job. It's good for everyone.

Don't you have to know anything to write for sites like this??
Tumblr media
Dick Grayson was the sole Robin 1940 to 1983. Tim Drake was the sole Robin from 1990 to 2009 (though he did try on the suit late in 1989).
The fact that Tim and Damian, since a few years back, both go by Robin, will complicate things in the future when you want to count who's been Robin for the longest time in comics (though considering hardly a year goes by when Dick is not Robin in some media, I'd argue he’ll always have been Robin for the longest time). But 1990 is still less than 43 years ago, last time I checked.

Timothy "Jace" Fox as Batman has just had a 18 issues long run of his own comic (which seems to have sold badly, but that's another story).
Tumblr media
For what it’s worth, these are as far as I know the only figures about how comics sell that are available nowadays. But even if I am Batman wasn't a hit, the writer should know “Jace” had a comics for a year and a half...
