Also, I’m pretty sure it takes some musical cues from the Volume 2 track “Sacrifice.” Shut your mouth and do your chores.” Cinder could have broken into song about her terrible conditions and I wouldn’t have batted an eye. The show (a.) desperately wants to be a Disney Princess story and (b.) clearly thinks it has to bash the crappiness of Cinder’s life into our brains, since it takes a montage of Cinder doing her chores, eating very little food, and putting up with abuse from her bratty stepsisters and Madame, and accompanies it with a Casey Lee Williams tune that begins with these lyrics: “Clean the linens, sweep the floors. Then a woman named Madame (obviously a stand-in for the Stepmother from Cinderella, a tale on which RWBY is putting an on-the-nose spin) adopts Cinder and brings her to the City of Atlas, where she’s forced to be a servant at a lavish hotel of the Madame’s called the Glass Unicorn. We open on Young Cinder Fall scrubbing the floor and enduring bullying from other kids at your typical shabby farmhouse orphanage. Chapter 6 of Volume 8, “Midnight,” was dropped on Rooster Teeth FIRST on December 12, and it was written and directed by Kerry Shawcross.
Now, let’s jump into RWBY, the fantasy anime-style web series from Rooster Teeth Animation. At the same time, this doesn’t mean all of us should mimic him and start shouting and cursing at every anti-masker we meet, because that will only incite more hate and alienation in our deeply divided country. Plus, it’s unusual for him to lose his cool when he has a reputation for being professional on set. While I do believe he could have calmly and patiently handled the situation, his choice of words seems to imply it might not have been the first time protocol had been broken, in which case a harsh response would have been warranted. That’s why I support Tom Cruise’s diatribe for the most part. Like I’ve said before, we all need to social distance and wear masks (over both our mouths and noses!). What’s new, readers? It doesn’t shock me one bit that top Trump appointee Paul Alexander threw his lot in with the herd immunity tactic, but it still proves once again the casual inhumanity of the Trump administration, especially in light of the COVID-19 death toll surpassing 300,000 victims.
(SPOILER ALERT: This is a full breakdown review for “Midnight”)
