^Eh, not really. Monty was, for starters, the Director, and even if he designed RWBY as a whole alongside Miles and Kerry, it was his idea. Monty was also a close friend of them for years.

And even then it's not like Miles mindlessly accepted everything Monty did (including things he did behind his back). Hell, when he saw Penny in the V1Finale, he pretty much exploded in anger to the best of his ability.

Shane, in terms of animation skills, was pretty close enough, having been trained by Monty. IIRC Yang vs Neo and Pyrrha vs CRDL were done by Shane. Personality-aside, the only thing he was lacking was Monty's ridiculous workaholic ethics.

Just clearing that out.
