#I love this show. I really do. But sometimes I think Ciro Nieli just. Did not think some of this through

A’ight, you know what, my brain isn’t shutting off for the night like it’s supposed to, so let’s just go off

So! SRMTHFG. Shuggazoom City. One city on one planet ‘cause everywhere else has been corrupted by Skeleton King, right?

BUT

Coming from someone who intermittently checks the RWBY tag (not necessarily a big fan of that show, but personally, I think its world has a lot of potential), that shouldn’t be the case, right? ONE city on this entire planet? With a massive underground jungle? Some ice caps? Come on, SURELY there are other human settlements ASIDE from Shuggazoom City, right?

Like, you underestimate the power of humans to ADAPT. Even amid the corruption surrounding Shuggazoom City, SOME people should’ve been able to figure out how to survive in the Zone of Wasted Years! There’s NO WAY there AREN’T any little villages scattered about

The other thing that bugs me is the presence of ancient ruins in the Savage Lands. Those didn’t just appear out of nowhere; they were built by PEOPLE. SOMEONE (other than Valeena) must’ve lived here at some point! What happened to those people? Does anyone other than Valeena live in the Savage Lands? The jungle may be harsh, but I imagine anyone who can figure out where to find food and how to avoid predators can make a semi-decent living down there

I guess what I’m trying to say is, Shuggazoom is WAY TOO BIG to have just ONE city. ONE

I may not have anything specific to go off of (like any confirmation that Shuggazoom is the same size as Earth or the explanation behind its pink surface, possibly a stylistic choice), but again, you can’t expect this planet to just have one city on it

OH AND ANOTHER THING

Shuggazoom City hasn’t seen snow in centuries my BUTT. Why does everyone have winter gear in Snowbound, then?? Chiro I can get, because on top of having a space suit in Hyper Mode, he probably has winter gear in case they go to an ice planet or something (come to think of it, I don’t remember seeing the winter gear OUTSIDE Shuggazoom), but everyone else? Who’s had use for earmuffs and puffy jackets since… however many hundred years ago???

To top it off, it looks like the city is situated on one of the poles. ONE OF THE POLES. There, you’d expect constantly freezing weather and weird day-night cycles! Assuming Shuggazoom is tilted slightly on its axis like Earth is, Shuggazoom City should be having periods where the sun never rises or sets! Hell, they should even be seeing the aurorea borealis! You can only expect constantly warm weather with relatively normal day-night cycles near the equator, and even then who knows how Shuggazoom even works!

And that’s not even getting to what the rest of the world looks like! Skeleton King kicks the bucket (for a bit), so if the planet is finally safe from his evil, what does that landscape look like now?

… By the way, how the heck did Chiro, a random kid, end up all the way on the outskirts of the city? I doubt even a bicycle can get him that far between getting out of school and bedtime

AND WHERE THE HECK ARE THOSE TREES

AND WHY IS SHUGGAZOOM BUILT ON SOME DUMB RESERVOIR THAT CAN EASILY FALL APART DUE TO EARTHQUAKES?

Sure, it’s all cool and futuristic, and maybe it’s not even my place to talk about it because I’m nowhere near a civil engineer myself, but like… I feel like this stuff doesn’t require half a brain to even think about

Ahem. That’s it for today
