Fingers crossed it'll be good. But really, some consistency on narrative and lore-keeping would be better than nothing.

Iunno, we never get to see Penny Hiccup when she lies.... That would have been one of the major things that would make Ruby believe she was innocent.... Also, Rivas is kind of inconsistent in himself so Iunno if him leading would be good aside from more Robyn wanking.
Oh well, just one of those things they must've missed. But I really do hope the lore sticks to its own rule better, or at least try to. Because I'm tired of the lore constantly changing itself to suit the narrative.

Holy hell, this is an even hotter take than the one regarding the with Weiss and Adam.
I won’t spend time sperging about either FF or Persona, but it’s incredibly incorrect to even call RWBY better written than either one of them and I would dare even say FF13 is better but keep in mind that said game had problems shared with RWBY from paper thin characters to terrible worldbuilding.
Miles and Kerry couldn’t even answer a basic fucking question about how Jaune acquired his dead not-girlfriend’s shit, so yeah there’s that “better writing” right there lol.
Not only could they not quite answer that question from FloofArtist (The guy who asked the question), but Barbara has to act like a total cow during that convention QA session and just sperg her filth on his question with bullshit like this.
"It's a cartooooooon!"
Even as a joke, it's just done in poor taste. And frankly the guy wasn't even asking her jack squat, and yet she has to butt her nose in where she doesn't belong -- so if that's not being fucking rude, I dunno what is.

There's this video about animation that shows the problem with RvB's new animation style compared to the old animation style, and I think it also applies to RWBY.

Keep in mind this started off a Miles prostitute joke. Going from that to cultures that still stone people, among other things, is quite the hot take.
Naw, my boy put his foot in his mouth, now I gotta defend his honor and trash talk just about everything else. RWBY's a masterpiece, I tell ya.

Trying to fix RWBY's writing after seven seasons is like trying to save Hisashi Ouchi in his final days of suffering. To unfuck RWBY you'd have to either nuke the entire thing and start all over again, or finally put RWBY out of its misery and start a spiritual successor series.
Both of which will likely never happen because Miles and Kerry are stuck too far up their own asses, and smelling their own shit to admit there's anything wrong enough to warrant such a thought in the first place.
And frankly, I would rather them do something entirely original of their own that isn't trying too hard to replicate RWBY, because clearly DMC-level-rule-of-cool premise are way out of their league without Monty shouldering the animation team with his talent.
So I would rather them just kill RWBY rather than rebooting it.
If they honestly want a good animation RWBY, they should just ask for anime studios to help them out (Bones, Shaft, Ufotable, Madhouse, JC Staff), which is impossible.

The only good serious attempt at reimagining RWBY that comes to mind was Cherish. And that one got cancelled since the ones behind it figured they might as well just make their own IP.
You'd have to chainsaw to death much of the show for RWBY to stand as a seriously well-designed setting. I'm talking:
-The Faunus? Scrap them and just make Blake and Adam (the only faunus who really matter) humans from different cultures than Ruby and Co. The faunus are a shining of what I deem "fantasy race bloat" where non-humans either have no real differences from humans or the writers have no idea how to handle them within the narrative.
-Either decide if your villains are going to be eternal monsters (I'm including Salem here) or humans with conflicting ideals from the protags. The Grimm have long stopped being credible threats since among other things the showrunners want RWBYworld to have enough of the same problems as this one (see the furry racism subplot) even if it doesn't work (see the furry racism subplot again).
-Removing Salem as a physical presence from Remnant. Keep her as some dark force within the cosmos who just uses the castle as a place to manifest holograms of herself.
-Merge the Maidens and Relics into one.
-Make Ruby and Yang full sisters or have Raven get bored of playing housewife and want to surpass Summer so Ozpin grants her Maiden magic.
-Have Jaune get Pyrrha killed protecting him so that his fraud actually has some serious negative consequences.
-If Ozpin is a body swapper then have him allow Jaune in his academy just from him being a good new body for him. Same thing he kept Qrow around for.
-No Oscar.
Etc etc.

No, no you are misunderstanding the Faunus don't exist for any storytelling device or even as a statement against racism. Monty just wanted an excuse for having a cat anime girl with a dark backstory aka Blake. That's literally the only reason they exist.
That being said I agree, Cherish just proves what I suspected. There is no shortage of people that love this romantic idea of saving Monty's legacy.
I know trying to save Monty's legacy is so tempting because sometimes RWBY is often so close to being an excellent show only to fail at it spectacularly it's frustrating. But here is the thing, for better or worse, Monty trusted these people to continue his legacy and even called them his friends. They own the franchise. You won't be able to profit from your hard work.
Best case scenario a niche part of the fandom will say its better than RT's version. Being realistic your work will only cause drama and RT will refuse to acknowledge you exist except for a Cease and desist if you somehow became more popular than the real deal or even attempt to profit from it. They aren't going to admit they messed up.
There's nothing wrong with "fixing RWBY" if that's your idea of fun for a fanfic project. But if you expect some reward beyond "fun" and maybe some nice comments, you will be disappointed.
If you are talented enough to fix RWBY you are talented enough to do your own thing.

Maybe late, but I'm thinking this is where Monty was going.
But you can't do that! It runs the risk of painting Adam as deeper than "muh soggyknee incel" strawman.
The backstory is all there, it practically writes itself! They could even keep the part where Adam fucks up Yang to prop him up as a personal threat, giving Yang an obstacle to overcome and tying Adam as an enemy to Team RWBY in general and any combination of the girls in particular, given his history with both Blake and Weiss and Ruby should care that fucking faggot lopped her sister's arm off!!
But nooo, you can't have an interesting, menacing, recurring antagonist that isn't the Black Hole of Charisma that is Nigri nor her ability to somehow turn everyone in the same zip code into a moron.

Well it only took that clown an entire day after everyone had already moved on from memeing this to sweep in like a slighly less mordibly obese Umbrella Guy.
Kinda late to this, but then again, if anything it'll just make the RWBY-defenders go even more REEE-happy because that side of the fanbase have always resented Hero Hei's content. I do like how their idea of countering this is by being shitheads themselves and both sides' negativity just blow up upon each other and nothing gets done while I'm just enjoying the shitshow here.
This is why I urged those with some form of writing talent whom enjoy writing fanfics for RWBY out of love to really just let go of it and do their own thing because in the end, they're just shining the boots a mediocre series with half-arsed writers.
Not to mention the amount of effort went into their "work of love for the show" will just far outweigh the amount of appreciation returned because 90% of RWBY fanbase are just people who eats whatever garbage fed to their mouths and move on to another pile of ship-garbage to fill their days until the show churns out another season for the year again while certainly will forget what fanfic writers do in their absence.
It's simply not worth the fucking hassle and it's better off to just spend their talent on original stuff.
I completely forgot that Ruby doesn't even talk to her sister about the missing arm....wait that's because they don't talk about anything ever.

If they show didn't explicitly make it clear in season 1, you'd never know they were sisters.

To be fair, it makes sense they don't talk much because they did establish that the first thing Yang did once they were at Beacon was to ditch Ruby with her friends... that we never saw mentioned ever again. Nor did it made any sense Yang had befriended people at Beacon as if she had been there a year before Ruby if that was her first day at Beacon too.
Nevermind, that doesn't make sense either.
