    What really solidified for me that the main 4 characters are not important to the story is that they never even met Watts, one of the main bad guys, they only fought Cinder one time in the last 4 years, they fought hazel one time off screen (so why would you count that?), and fought Tyrian one time 4 years ago. What personal connection do these characters have to the villain's? Why are they more special than any other group? Why do they deserve to be the main characters? The writers sure don't know.

      What really gets me about the Tyrion fight is how utterly useless the kids were, and how little they learned from it. Tyrion mopped the floor with them, and he was just playing with them. It became abundantly clear how outclassed they were when the goto "strategy" of supercharge Nora and let her sort it out, did nothing. Tyrion stopped that juiced up attack like he didn't even feel it. So what does Ruby do when Qrow starts fighting equally with this guy that kicked all their asses. Try to interfere. Even though she only serves to slow him down and costs him the fight. Then, when Ozpin says they need to get into fighting shape, she responds: "we already know how to fight" as if she completely forgot the ass whopping they took against just *one* member of Salem's inner circle. She learned *nothing* and was still blissfully ignorant of the gaping chasm between her and her enemies.

    With the destruction of Atlas, team RWBY have done more harm to the world than Salem ever has over centuries of being alive. For all their bullshit about how they "have to save Atlas *and* Mantle" they are directly responsible for the destruction of both. Why did they take the relic from the vault? It was actively safer where it was because the only for anyone to get it was by using Penny. Because they had to follow up on making Penny "a real girl"? Why? Wasn't the whole point of Penny's character that she was just fine the way she was? That she was just as human as anyone else regardless of her metal bits? They brought her back, just so they perma-kill her. To what end? It was beyond pointless. By taking out the relic, now it's in the open to be snatched up. Like it was at the end of the volume. Way to go 'heroes'! Why did they deposit a group of civilians in what is well known to be a ridiculously dangerous desert? Why not literally anywhere else? Now you have a whole cities worth of unarmed, untrained civilians in a wasteland infested with grimm who are currently eating them. Anywhere else in the world would have been better! The worst part is, team RWBY will not be held accountable for their actions. They never are. Nobody is going point out how the girls ruined these peoples lives. Instead, they'll be praised and rewarded, just like always! For fuck's sake, Cinder loses more to her own stupidity and incompetence than she does to team RWBY!

    Bro, thank you. I’ve been throwing shade at Team RWBY in a lot of my videos and I’ve actually been working on my own opinion of this topic. It’s nice to see someone else who has this viewpoint of Team RWBY.
    I’ve had issues with team RWBY since Vol 4 and it’s slowly been growing. My preference as a writer, and my favorite part of any story, is the characters. I love characters, especially when there is a team of characters with differing personalities that has to work together. That was pretty much the first few volumes, but now all the characters have melded into one character since they’ve “developed.”
    Weiss is the only one who actually has developed, and the writers just pretend that the rest of the characters have developed so they can have drama. So many things come out of nowhere that it is just annoying and insulting to see. The “Hero’s” scenes aren’t interesting anymore cause I’m just watching ten different versions of the same character agree with itself.

    (Edit: And just to let you know i suppoert Lumity because their relationship is more organic than Bmblb)
    And I'm still going to keep watching and I want to see how it ends
    Honestly, Blake is doing the same thing she did with Adam but with Yang.
    Making unnecessary promises, feeling bad for what she does even when its not her fault, neglecting everyone while focusing on the person she's idolizing because of their strength or passion.
    All while Yang doesn't make any promises to her, does whatever she wants and expecting Blake to be there for her when she needs it.
    Ever since the got back together their characters have faulted. Blake no longer cares about Faunus rights and I don't think Yang ever cared about it. Not to mentiin that their goals contridict each other. Plus they both have nothing in common with each other. Basically their relationship is more based on guilt than it is mutual attraction.
    Ecit: Also to note when people get close to someone they tend to change or take on the others habits. For them it seems more like Blake is enabling Yang.
    If you compare them to Blacksun, Blake has taken some of Sun's habit and Sun has changed when we saw him in Vol 1.
    Plus if anyone has seen the second episode of Vol 9, you can tell that Yang hasn't really changed her habits.

    I would appreciate the story a whole lot more if it did what “Spec Ops: The Line” did but as it stands right now RWBY is “Spec Ops” if we were still meant to see Walker as the hero of the story.
    Ruby is basically Captain Walker from “Spec Ops”.
    Weiss does absolutely nothing but jobb, the only times she wins against non Grimm enemies is when the story contorts itself to let her win: her destroying the mech in Volume 3 is let down by the fact that Coco (a character whose whole thing is making her bullets more powerful) can’t kill it, her fight with Marrow only lasted as long as it did because he didn’t want to fight, her fight with Cinder at the end of Volume 8 only lasted as long as it did so Jaune could very slowly kill Penny, of all the fights she should’ve definitively lost to Cinder but she didn’t even though Cinder had supposedly learned her lesson.
    Blake’s little arc with Adam is ruined by the fact Adam himself flat out tells one of his grunts to “forget it.” in regards to looking for her after she defects from the White Fang: he didn’t give a fuck about her, it’s only at the Fall of Beacon where he’s turned into the abusive ex caricature. Adam had no reason to be in Volume 6, he could’ve and should’ve been taken out in Volume 5 but Blake let’s him run away from Haven. He could’ve been dealt before he even attempted to run off. After Adam dies she’s literally just “there”
    Yang left both Ruby and Qrow to burn inside the farmhouse in Volume 6, but she was perfectly willing to grab Blake’s hand and run out, she doesn’t even try to go back in and see if they’re alright.
    She also whines to Ironwood about lying about Amity being finished to lure out Watts (a plan that worked)
    The stupidity with the “Yeah Ruby…” line is made all the worse with the fact the cheap melodrama between Blake and Yang comes out of nowhere, hell when they reunite Blake cowers in on herself and looks extremely stand offish as if she’s done anything to feel that way.

    I stand my ground when I say Team JNPR made better main characters than Team RWBY.
    Better team dynamic between themselves.
    Better writing potential regarding their personal trials, growth and goals.
    Better chemistry with most of the villains. "Such as Roman being a foil to Jaune regarding morality, heroes and personal views, or Neo and Pyrrha having different perspectives on wanting to be free from what others expect them to be, with Neo killing her family and joining Roman and Pyrrha staying with her team because she is seen as Pyrrha over the Prodigy of Mistral."

    As a member of the RWBY fandom. It's a bit ironic but one of the reasons why I'm so into the fandom is because RWBY has a ton of mistakes and wasted potential. This leads to people easily being able to write pretty good fanfiction about it. There's so much potential, and people can easily see and imagine how it could play out, and some of them actually write good stories about it. As well as the fan animations, and the original teams. I like RWBY less as a show, and more as a template.
    Now, as someone who reads fanfiction, yes, the chance that any you start reading is good is in the single-digit percentages. But if you're willing to trudge through the river of filth, you might find some gold. And obviously, it'd be better if the show itself was better and fulfilled more of the potential it showed.

    I tried to get into RWBY once, but I just couldn't do it. The storytelling felt rushed and the fights while impressive, didn't get my heart pounding like RvB's from S8 - S10. The reason being is that we got to know the characters beforehand, we learned what their personality was, and what their relationship with the other characters were like. Another reason being relatability, in RWBY everybody is a good fighter and had superpowers, but RvB's characters aren't the best fighters, they don't have any powers, and they aren't that bright. Their normal people who end up getting pulled into adventures wether they want to or not and come out the winners, proving the nay sayers wrong. Basically, the RvB characters (S1 - S17) are Rocky and the RWBY characters are Ivan Drago.

It’s astonishing that the cast became the best to the worst thing in their own show as soon as vol 4 hits. And the worst part is how the show is constantly trying to tell you to root for them. You know it’s bad if the character who are trying to (or force) make a villain (Ironwood) is actually a better hero than the so call “heroes”. Excellent video. :)

All that is fucking gone now and it makes me believe that these writers and rooster teeth never understood what monty wanted for the show to be when going forward.

    Great video, really well put together and you did a good job supporting your points. Yang was probably my favourite character during the early seasons, but for many of the reasons you listed I just cannot like her now. Raven and Crow are characters I also think have been absolutely demolished over time, all the potential Raven has surrounding her just evaporated and crow feels like a hollow man but not because of great characterisation. In volume 8 I really thought the show was going to help give Ruby and Blake a stronger relation over something happening with Yang when she fell into the abyss, but now we know it was just a portal that idea is out the window. I will likely ride the show out to the end as I have seen it this far anyway, but expectations are about as low as they can go.

    I'm just confused why team RWBY takes the relics out of their vault. They don't have use for it. The lamp was taken because the Spring Maiden opens it and runs away, but they could just stores the Staff back after using it, it's not like the vault will be destroyed when Atlas falls because it's magical.
    I used to think they run around the Remnant to collect the relics because they want to use it, summons the gods of Remnant and hopefully have them reversed Salem's immortality since it would judge the people if Ozpin collects them, they didn't say anything about other people collectinv them.
    Also, I just thought about it : The gods of Remnant seems a bit stupid since they punished someone with immortality? If they're just a friendly person, maybe it's a punishment, but if it's someone who is gathering an army to fight the gods, then immortality might have been a grace since they have forever to get their revenge on the gods. I kind of forgot the order, but even if Salem gained her immortality before she gathers her army, it would be wise of them to stripped that immortality away from her after she fights them back. It's just stupid, the should just die and give Remnant to the god of ever after(where the gods come from).

      One reason I agree with the fan assertions that the Two Brothers are more at fault than Salem is for Salem's evil and threat level is because of what you just said - the Brothers' curse is the reason why she's still a threat to Remnant in the present day after the Mk. II humans and the Faunus evolved and why she's become so much eviler over time, and the Brothers could've stripped her immortality and put her out of her misery when it became clear at the Mk. I humans' rebellion that their attempt to teach her a lesson, which was the whole purpose of them making her immortal, had failed. Instead, the Brothers left her to rot in her immortality on an empty world, leading to the global threat level that she poses to all of Remnant today.
