The Maidens would've been better if there were no Relics and instead they were consolidated into the Maidens. Like making the Winter Maiden have the Knowledge Relic's magical knowing.

That's likely how it would have gone had Monty not died.
 
Also, they should've had Raven be the Spring Maiden all these years rather than have her kill off said Maiden. Ozpin has her become the Maiden with her sooner or later abandoning her family (with perhaps Ozpin knowing this, giving her the magic with the offer of giving her an out on being a wife/mother). Qrow learns this and then turns on Ozpin.

Yeah, this just reiterates my point of Miles and Kerry not giving a shit about fleshing out these (Underpowered) Macguffins everyone and their mother (Well, those who know about the conflict) are too invested in these chicks when the audience can't even pretend to care for even a bit...Lol, keep in mind that according to the artbook Salem wants their power for herself in her plan. 😂

I will say that I prefer Raven ditching on her own, but your idea is good too man.
 
It sounds like RT's going through another round of layoffs. Sean Murphy has stated that he's been laid off, and it appears that Pat Rodriguez got the axe too. https://www.reddit.com/r/roostertee...rt_animation/fb51yy8/?st=k48r6pn7&sh=690b7f8a

Note one of their community spokespeople trying to do damage control. RT has made the transition from startup to corporate as gracefully as a drunken tortoise in a set of ill-fitting high heels.

A friend of mine put it best. "It was a house of cards, and it was going to fall one day." I don't know what the future is for RT, and I'll admit, I'll be upset if they have to fold, but I doubt they're going anywhere just yet. All I know is that 2019 has been an absolute clusterfuck of a year for them.

Will update if any new news comes up about it. Pat was an important cog on the RWBY team, though, so that's why I figured it was relevant.

The running theory right now is that if there were more releases, it was on the orders of someone in the very, VERY top brass of RT (Executive) or actually Warner Brothers. If it was only Sean and Pat, the running theory is that Pat was released due to health complications (he was recently in the hospital and has been rather down lately on twitter) and Sean was fired, not laid off.

Yeah, but it's an unbelivably bad look to release a Director for a week's worth of health issues duing the week before Christmas. No one who should have been able to make this decision (someone much higher than a Director) should really be capable of making one this stupid.

The point being though, no matter what happened, some Reddit Janitor is not going to know the actual reason. There's no way they made these kinds of cuts at this time without there being some kind of shenanigans afoot.

I wasn't disputing that. It's obvious that she's just spouting the company line and hoping people believe it, even though even the rabidly pro-RT crowd aren't buying it. Everyone loved Pat. Even the other CRWBY members and employees are giving Pat condolences and trying to reassure him. The dude's taking this like a sledgehammer to the kneecaps.

Not sure how many Ls this is for RT, but they're still reeling from the Gen Lock Leap Forward failing apparently.
 
Update on the Pat situation: It sounds like he was failing to live up to commitments. Fan commissions, scheduled appearances, stuff like that. The company let him go based on that, it sounds like, but didn't give him the F-word becuase of his health problems and being a long-tenured member of the team. UPDATE AGAIN: They already have an application out to replace him.

Update on the Sean situation: It sounds like he was just straight up fired and lied about it.

Supposedly there was a 'third layoff', but I've heard no such thing.

I find it hilarious on how shippers literally ruin everything.

Blake and Yang are an example of the belligerent sexual tension trope done completely wrong. The two started getting closer when Yang was snoo pingas usual in Blake when she had issues with her Faunus identity, even then the two could barely stand each other.

Adam being retooled as a fedora-tipper and Blake losing all of her tsundere traits she had towards Wukong (And turning him into an invasive "nice guy" type) made the entire Bumblebee OTP a farce. There's no spontaneous development like Lienora.

And even with the whole SJW shlock going on I'm sure rooster cucks did it to appeal to the "girl on girl is hawt" crowds as well.

RWBY would be better if the White Fang were like the Scoia'tael. Complete with being a pawn of another country.

Still would be wasted potential, since Remnant doesn't have consistent roles in regards to how everything works, let alone making interesting geopolitical relationships to have parallels between WF and Squirrels. If someone ever managed to make a spiritual successor that focuses on fixing what went wrong with the RWBYverse, this surely counts as one of the best ideas to ever be implemented.

I gotta love the timing of this post. Like, this is a two-line character who appeared in one scene and RT brings out the trumpets and proclaims her to be the first transgendered person the day after people got laid off.

Fans: So you have more controversy with firing people?
RT: Uhhhhh LOOK WE HAVE A TRANS CHARACTER :D

Not to mention that she's related to Diet Neptune here

A character who served no importance and hasn't appeared since.

"Hey kids, we have a trans character! Sure she's a barely-voiced nobody who nobody actually cares about, but she's trans! See how woke we are??? Can you forget about our recent controversies now???? PLEASE FORGET ABOUT THE CONTROVERSIES NOW"
 
For SJWs, Rooster Teeth are really bad at diversity.

But at least they aren't killing zim/zam/zir off immediately this time.
 
Sienna Khan herself was an unneeded retcon (she doesn't match any of the silhouettes the WF leaders had awhile ago and her current role in the organization doesn't fit with Blake's narration on its turn towards ultraviolence) there to make Adam look comically vile and give Monica Rial something to do.

The fantasy racism subplot didn't work since we've yet to see faunus abused at such a level to make terrrorism at the scale of the White Fang's actions still be symphathetic and they made it too fixated on Blake rather than RWBY. Adam and Ruby could've walked near each-other prior to the former's demise and you could be sure neither would recognize the other.

For that matter, why case a semi-recgonizable VA for a bit part when they're just going to kill her off? Why not just grab some other employee or one of the other actresses in the episode to do it, was Rial just in the studio one day and they told her to read the part?
