There's nothing wrong with having a lot of characters, you just need to know how to use them properly

Personally I consider rwby a case study in how not to design a d&d campaign.

The rules of writing RWBY

The song played in Cinder's backstory lowkey sounds like the dream song from Sharkboy and Lavagirl

"My problem isn't RWBY wanting to save everyone. My problem is they don't even have a plan!"

Hunters in RWBY are fucking weird, they get talked up a lot but they don’t seem to be anything more than just mercenaries, the authority they wield in the show mostly comes from other positions of power like being a general, a headmaster, or a professor being a huntsman itself doesn’t seem to give you any power over anything outside of fighting Grimm. I can’t really criticize Rhodes for not using his authority when the writers never bothered fleshing out what kind of authority full huntsman are supposed to apparently have.

They tried to get us to fell sympathy for Cinder - the bitch who killed Pyrrah. At the same time, they tried to get us to hate Ironwood - the guy who, with no prodding, gave a woman he barely knew a robot arm she didn't earn, made the main characters official huntsmen, and put his full trust in the main characters despite how they never earned his trust. Then RT wonders why people are angry about this.

I hate it when creators suddenly butcher a character, especially when it's just because the character's philosophy was getting "too much popularity/sympathy".

I cannot blame anyone for being tired of RWBY. The writers of RWBY simply don't know how to write a story at all and never have. They constantly make the same mistakes over and over again and never seem to learn. The first three volumes that everyone consistently says are the "best volumes" were due to Monty's fight scene choreography, but I think a lot of folks get wrong that Monty had any sort of grand or over arching plan as he's stated in interviews that he "left the details to Miles and Kerry. This has been evident since day one, but RWBY is a neat idea and we all rolled with it in the hopes it'll get better. Monty's fight scene choreography carried the show for the first three volumes. Then we got the rose tinted glasses ripped off when RWBY didn't have Monty's expertise to carry the show through anymore.

You're not alone, dude.

I agree Roosterteeth already killed and buried this show/series a long time ago. This show has already been gone ever since Monty passed away.

It’s bad when some of the issues you bring up can be simply explained with “Behind the scenes drama happened before this episode was made”, which says less about the show itself and more about the current state of RT as a whole.

Seeing what RWBY is now is like seeing your lifelong friend slowly become addicted to drugs, and no matter how many times you try to get help for them, they push back in denial and say that they’re fine.

Why is slavery allowed in a world where the negativity it generates would cause a cataclysm.

Is this how Voltron fans felt? If so, there’s a common ground.

My opinion on the show per season:

When the Fanfiction makes more sense and is better written than the actual show:
