    Destroying Vale is a curious story choice. It is the home of the protagonist. The audience spent three seasons hanging out in Vale with it being the "home" that the heroes were defending. Season 3's ending promised the fans that eventually the heroes would become strong in exile, rally an army...

    *Tells fans to leave.* *They do.* *Closes up shop.*

    None of the romances were really appealing.

    I used to be a little disheartened that RWBY went bad after season 2 due to how unique its futuristic fantasy aesthetic with transforming weapons was. At the time. Nowadays we have more stuff that has been pivoting into that aesthetic such as later Trails games or Xenoblade, which is nice. Only...

    In season 4 it seemed like their relevance was knew about secret lore and were thus one of the only people left to perhaps try to carry out the Ozpin's mission. That worked in the scope of season 4 when Beacon had fallen and it seemed like the world was disarray, but then you realize that the...

    I think RWBY making this far is indicative of 1. just how popular RWBY was, and 2. RoosterTeeth's lack of options. RWBY became popular in the first place because it existed in a near vacuum. It was the only cool Western animation at the time that had appeal to teenagers and up. Everything else...

    I don't see how relics could have always have been intended from the start. They weren't in the first three seasons at all, and season 3 just introduced the 4 maidens. Even if we are generous and assume that Monty actually had conceptualized the maidens from the very start, it doesn't make sense...

    Jaune was interesting as a side character in the early volumes, but he is a little vanilla as a character. If he had a starring role then there would be more tension to maintain interest. If he was hypothetically the MC from the get go, then I would have played up the hoax part. Show the tension...

    I don't see the point in a reboot. RWBY was Monty Oum. Without Monty Oum you don't have RWBY. Just because a corporation owns a trademark called "RWBY" does not make them RWBY. Everything after season 3 wasn't RWBY, just a completely different show. The only thing it has in common is the name...

    White Faunas amounting to nothing, Adam going from a competent, intimidating terrorist leader to being an angsty teenager hung up on Blake, Ironwood going from a generous good guy and reliable ally to a cartoon villain.

    S4 was boring and there was no plot progression but it wasn't offensive like the seasons that followed. No subplots being destroyed in the most unsatisfying manner possible, no character assassinations, no out of nowhere diversity romances.

    I thought that the look of the early show had charm. The new visual look is too clean and stale, and it feels professional which makes me scrutinize the rest of the show more for not holding up.

    Generic monsters to chop up yeah, but they are aesthetically cool to look at. Season 6 introduced an interesting Grimm called "the Apathy", which was conceptually cool. Rather than being yet another monster to chop up and forget about, it was instead unfightable. As it neared you, it drained...

    The idea of humans discriminating against people with animal characteristics sounded interesting, but they never really did anything with it. There wasn't any racism against Faunas in the show (the only thing I could think of was that one bar in season 4 that said "no Faunas"... and that was...

    Eh, I don't see much overlap between the RWBY and Harry Potter fandoms TBH. I see much more overlap between RWBY and the anime fandom. Anime was beginning to blow up in the West around that time, with Crunchyroll's rise in popularity, the explosive popularity of Attack on Titan, Fate/Zero, and...

    This has to be reemphasized. I think RWBY's failure comes from promising to be something it could never deliver on. Seasons 1 and 2 did not try to pretend to be a dramatic, epic adventure saga like ATLA or a JRPG or an epic anime series. It was just a bunch of funny gag comedy scenes and cool...

    To clarify: there are "acting ghettos" in the US. Unlike Britain, where you have stage actors also doing TV and movie stuff and voice acting for games and cartoons, in the US you are really shoehorned into one type of acting. Stage actors don't really do anything else. TV actors don't really do...
