And no offense to sharkface, i honeslty forgot who he was until i rewatched season 9 ^ Same on the second part

And RvB is so different from RWBY that it can get away with all sorts of plot devices that RWBY could never get away with. All this bullshit with people being like "Raven Branwen is Yang from an alternate dimension!" and "Raven Branwen is really a Dust-corrupted Ruby from a future where Yang died!"? RvB can get away with using shit like that because of the ridiculous goofball nature of the show. RWBY cannot. RWBY has to stay somewhat grounded in the land of logic with its plot devices. There is only so far that we can suspend our disbelief for RWBY.

Meanwhile, RvB had a scene where some of the characters (I believe it was Tucker, Caboose, Grif, and Simmons?) fell into a tunnel under the ice, and a guard was coming there way, so they quickly built snowmen to hide in. The guard was like "Oh, it's just some snowmen" and Tucker stabbed him.

RvB can get away with that. RWBY can't. Writing for RWBY is more restricting than writing for RvB.

I could probably come up with better examples, like something about the alien portal to a place where an alien AI examines you for your greatest fears, materializes them to see if you can face them, and then blasts you out of there if you can't... or whatever... but I'm kinda just checking up on the wiki before I go to bed, and I'm really tired.
