Definitely, I don't mean some mamby-pamby comeback or some ham fisted dbz thing

But also it I think our suspension of disbelief has been lowered to the point we're de-fictionalizing fiction itself mostly to boost our ego by showing how 'realistic' stories can be

Or to put in Glynda's words "All a matter of measuring-" Er.. the actual quote is "Why must your answer to everything involve a triumphant display of military bravado!? You treat every situation like it's a contest of measuring di—!" So, your quote should be "a contest of measuring di--".

Anyway, RWBY still has unrealistic stuff to it, between the crazy physics, Raven's portals, the existence of magical Relics, Tyrian's scorpion tail, etc. The world of Remnant seems to have its own laws of reality, and thus far, nothing has really suggested that their laws of reality include a method of bringing someone back from the dead, especially someone who was burned to ashes. Regardless I think Pyrrha should be the Achilles that lives, sometimes it seems like Pyrrha is crying and wailing in limbo for ressurection, slamming her fists crying "give me back my life"

Figuratively speaking of course I know I'm going to sound like a complete dick when I say this (sorry for that btw) but it's not about what you think. It's what RT want to do and what makes sense from a story telling perspective. Personally when it comes to worlds like RWBY, its far more large and imaginative and who's to really say what is "authentic", if it works for them then its authentic to that audiance, if it doesnt, then re-write it the way you want it to be.

There's bound to be a good amount of people who share your opinion and support you

I do think, however, stories like RWBY have been going this way just to show off the size of their ham and two eggs, and because well "all the cool kids are doing it"

Do I think Pyrrha should have died, personally, no. I think her allusion should have stayed metaphorical and ultimelty should not dictate her outcome, and they could have done so much with her. I get she was supposed to be the "Gwen Stacy" of RWBY, but I think they should have made it about her defying destiny and NOT end up like her counterpart.

Would Monty if he was still alive scrap it or bring her back? Well he's gone, we can never know that for sure,maybe he would have, maybe not, or maybe not kill her off until a few more volumes, and Miles and Kelly are just trying to continue his work the best they can, its not like they can peform a Sance and contact Monty from beyond the grave to get his okay on everything.

The Canon RWBY is just not meant for you, and I know that sounds frustrating, I know it feels like its the Game of Thrones fans keep getting their way with these stories while a few crumbs are swept to the likes of us, but remember, trends have their cycles and eventually (and by the looks of it VERY soon) come to an end

They did not do this for the sake of being cruel

They did not doe this to 'make money' or 'be popular' even if it happens to be part of a trend thats tbh infecting storytelling for mere popularity

if Pyrrha is crying in limbo, then go write your V3 forward story and stick to it

Instead of attempting to convince people you're right, why not write your own version of RWBY, or make a RWBY-Inspired original story, or do both and show people you're right

And if they see you as crazy and mad for beliving in such concepts

Remember, Leonardo, Thomas Jefferson, Galieo, Enstein, and countless of others were seen as insane and mad for believing in concepts that sounded at the time crazy

But they showed them, proved them wrong
