Wut? First I heard!
Bart and Port were in the epilogue it didn't show Vale being destroyed but showed Qrow arriving in Vacou with the refugees and both of them arriving afterward and it is they who relay Vale's destruction to them, Glynda is MIA.
Surprising.
They abadonned story - so it do not matter.Either story remain not finished,or somebody remade it from seazon 2 or 3.
All true.Another reason why it is good thing,that story died.If it survive, it must be done by somebody else from volume 2.
I doubt it, my theory was that Glynda was the Relic of Choice given human form or at the very least a person who was aware of its current location/ guardian given the crown on the back of her cape.
My counterpoint is that CRWBY has a really bad track record with misusing & screwing up the potential of their characters, as well as bringing those they know/think are fan-favorites back out of the blue to pander for views. Raven is probably the best example of this and certainly the first that comes to my mind - theoretically an important character as Yang's mother and the figure underpinning what her arc is supposed to be about early on (finding answers re: her missing mom and resolving her abandonment issues) with another striking design that both resembles & contrasts against her daughter's but then gets her V2 post-credit scene retconned for no readily apparent reason; then said to be the badass leader of a gang of Darwinist bandits only for said bandits to turn out to be failtastic scrubs and herself to be a cowardly unlikable douche despite having Maiden powers; and ultimately parts on bad terms with Yang, even crying about completely failing to reconcile with or otherwise keep her around (meaning both of Yang's non-Bumblebee arcs, the other being her PTSD after losing her arm, have concluded on unsatisfying notes).I doubt it, my theory was that Glynda was the Relic of Choice given human form or at the very least a person who was aware of its current location/ guardian given the crown on the back of her cape.
Although, granted the designs are different even if they do bear some similarities as Glynda's tiara isn't a full circlet although it could be misdirection, they explicitly showed her in Vale at the end of Volume 8 I doubt they would have if they didn't plan to use her again or alternatively Port could have just stated she died in the attack on Vale fighting Salem directly if they wanted her out of the show that badly.
I agree but that doesn't mean they won't use her again, it just means that the writers treat characters like toys to disregard on a merry go around where they only pick them up again when they come back and the plot calls for it.
I doubt they had planned how Salem would be defeated when they wrote the "Salem is immortal" part.
I think consequences are a good thing. Too often I get bored watching or reading something knowing that nothing bad is ever going to happen. There is no more tension, no impetus to continue turning the page to find out if they succeeded or not. The issue with a lot of modern stories isn't the consequences, but rather the writers' inability to 1. stay on track and make the audience feel that the story is going somewhere and an ending is in sight, and 2. an inability to create likeable characters and get the audience to care about them. This combination of two failings has been particularly lethal for TV shows like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. You have these shows with hour long episodes and many seasons - dozens of hours of watchtime - that go on and on and on, and the likeable characters are killed off (or become evil), and before you know it you're 40 hours into this story and there isn't anyone likeable left and there is no end in sight, so you stop caring and turn it off. Writers need to relearn the lost art of brevity, and learn the fundamentals of making heroic characters you want to root for.
Which I still think was a terrible idea, that wouldn't have resulted in anything worth watching even if Monty hadn't died; the guy just wasn't any good as a storyteller.
I always figured they planned on solving the whole "Salem" problem by having Ruby spout some half-assed and out-of-nowhere speech about "the power of friendship/dreams/believing in yourself", or other such bullhonky, and talk her into not being evil. Either that, or she somehow unlocks the Mangekyō for her bootleg Sharingan at the last minute, and uses it to beat Salem in the most anticlimactic and uninteresting final battle you could imagine.
I am just saying death wise Pyrrha was planned
I did throw in a 'probably' qualifier in my previous statement. But in any case, personally I think that not only is it still unlikely had the show miraculously gotten V10 greenlit somehow, but it's for the best that that never happens. Even if RT were to bring Glynda back, I have full confidence in the writers' ability to somehow find a way to horribly bungle her so as to leave the fandom (even those who previously adored her) hating her given their past track record, as they already did Ironwood.I agree but that doesn't mean they won't use her again, it just means that the writers treat characters like toys to disregard on a merry go around where they only pick them up again when they come back and the plot calls for it.
Glynda is a fan favorite side character with more relation to the cast than others and RT has shown repeatedly they lack the balls to make big story decisions like killing one offscreen, I can understand Vale because as someone would put it.
I have severe doubts that she would never have come up again. Yes, they had problems with her voice actress in the past, but given what happened with Qrow's RT has shown that they aren't above simply replacing a voice actor and it's not like Glynda had many iconic lines for any would be voice aspect to live up to anyways.
Most likely the entire thing with Glynda being MIA along with her cameo appearance in V8 was to build up shock value of where people endlessly hype up her return, RT brings her back, she does one thing of badassery or irrelevance and is then summarily killed off while again none of the main cast dies.
In short, I agree on almost all points but at the end of the day saying we wouldn't see Glynda again is supposition that we will never have proven or disproven given what has happened to RT and RWBY as a whole.
And at the end of the day does it matter? If she lives, she lives and dies by shitty writing and if she died in Vale she again dies to shitty writing, it all proves RT's incompetence all the same in the writing department.
I was tempted to splurge about my ideas for a Raven rewrite as I already have with some other characters & the WF conflict earlier in this thread, but honestly, I think I can just leave it at 'literally anything would have been better than the Raven we actually got'. Lame AF doesn't even begin to cover how disappointing she's turned out to be in CRWBY's hands.
I agree that the death of Pyrrha was a really bad idea, especially at the time when they insisted on carrying it out, and that it was a mistake on Monty's part to have that written down. I would have preferred that she not die at all, but if she had to go to 'raise the stakes', change the tone of the show, or whatever else then that's something that should have happened like 6-7 volumes in, not in Volume 3 when she's literally just starting to become an interesting character. Her characterization basically boiled down to just 'supremely nice, supremely skilled fighter, supremely interested in Jaune' until she was introduced to the concept of Maiden powers at which point she started expressing self-doubts, deep concerns for the future, and in general actual character depth for the first time on the show...aaaaand then she's gone.
In retrospect, I'm a bit surprised the woke crowd never seemed to care that Rooster Teeth pulled a "Stuffed into the Fridge" with Pyrrha; killing her off, and then using her death as motivating pathos for Jaune. One would think they would have rioted over such a thing, but I guess they were more interested in pushing the writers into making all the female characters lesbians.
