Rate Their Chances MultiVersus Edition: Day 141 - Cecils and TOM (double Toonami day) (2024)

Little Red

Chance: 70%

I think Amageish brings up some good points. The chances of these characters will depend on how you think the roster will unfold. If you ask me, I get the vibe that Warner Bros will use MultiVersus to affiliate their I.Ps with each other. If you look at the roster as it is already, we see stuff like Cartoon Network, DC, and Game of Thrones, stuff that usually isn't associated with each other. I'd wager that they probably see this as an opportunity to throw in some of their less mainstream stuff as a way to give them more popularity.

That leads us to Rooster Teeth. Seeing as Warner Bros straight up owns them it would be easy enough to include a character from their repertoire. Looking at their library, their most popular stuff is Red vs Blue, RWBY, and Death Battle. Out of those Death Battle has the least to work with since it is just a debate show using different characters from various different franchises, meaning that in order to represent the show itself they would have to put in Wiz and Boomstick who can work but would require quite a bit of creativity to make them playable. As for Red vs Blue it is the show that made Rooster Teeth successful so it's something to keep in mind.

Now onto RWBY. It is arguably Rooster Teeth's most popular I.P and has the advantage of being 100% owned by Warner Bros whereas if they wanted to rep Red vs Blue, Microsoft would have to be contacted which might not be a big deal but it's a factor to keep in mind. This means it's also easier for them to promote RWBY merchandise so from this perspective RWBY would be favorable to include in the company's view. What surprised me is not only did RWBY get merchandise like video games as you would expect, but also was referenced in Doctor Sleep and a Matrix movie? And it got a crossover with DC? That's very notable. Those are big titles to put something more niche in, and makes me think Warner Bros will find more ways to advertise RWBY.

Honestly, there is a lot going in RWBY's favor, and little going against it. It's true that the roster right now leans towards very popular stuff but that could just be because they are using the mainstream stuff to get that initial hype and advertising in then when they get an audience they can tap into their more niche stuff, and to be frank RWBY is right under that tier of mainstream stuff. Even if she won't appear anytime soon, her demand will grow as time goes on thanks to a very dedicated fanbase. RWBY is popular in its own right after all so eventually I think Warner Bros will give it its due.

Want: 90%

Originally I was going to abstain on this score but I became curious and did some light research on the show itself. I checked Ruby Rose's page on the RWBY wiki briefly and saw her weapon. A scythe that is also a rifle. How cool is that? So today I sat down and.....I ended up watching the show for three hours (Which is a lot for me in one day, believe it or not) until the middle of Volume 2. And now I have a new show to watch.

Man, where do I even begin? Well since this rating is based on Ruby I'll discuss her first. I think she is a very endearing protagonist. She is adorable and badass at the same time. The fact that she can be so bubbly and joke around one scene and then decapitate a giant monster in the next scene makes her an incredible character. Then you got the rest of the characters which has already grown on me. The show has a very good pace so far, balancing the small scenes with the big character development moments. The action scenes are incredible for being an online show and RWBY also delivers the best food fight scene in history. Right now I'm satisfied for tonight but I look forward to watching more and seeing how things pan out. Oh and how could I forget the music? I am in love with the opening songs, they are so beautiful. I'm not sure if MultiVersus will offer several songs or just one song per stage but I would love to get at least some tunes because they are fantastic.

So yeah, I'll definitely support Ruby and I'm hoping to use her Crescent Rose against Shaggy.
