But the thing I think you're missing is that when they talk about major plotlines, like Summer Rose, it gives things away, may it be big or not, if you see someone talking about them that means that there is a connection and then people will speculate even more and Monty still wants that air of mystery to it. Also, I don't understand your issues with the giant robot. I think it's pretty cool really, I don't get what is so horrible about mechs. (Also, it's Sabertooth, not Wolverine) I didn't call anyone specific stupid, I called people who made certain arguments stupid and childish for making them. The cursing was never aimed at anyone, only the show. If I did seem to aim it at a person, I apologize, curseing is usually used to put emphasis or emotionally charge a writing.

That being said, I think this counter is weak. There's a differance between revealing a plot point and outright not acknowledging it's existance. Ruby has shown no indication of being the girl she was protrayed as in the trailer, and from her dress and skill we can say she's not much older or younger in the trailer.

If she's older, its not a trailer for RWBY, its false advertising.

I'll just say this on "Sabertooth". I didn't know he had a name, and frankly I don't care. He is an animated Wolverine and from his reaction he likely has the same personality. When I say Wolverine I'm referancing a well known comic character.

This just pissed me off, more so than the Sun thing. Nobody can claim this show is original once "Sabertooth" becomes cannon, and frankly I think it's a small infrigment on intelectual property if he looks, acts, and talks like Wolverine.

The mech...the mech itself I have no problem with. Mechs can be used to be pretty badass in fights, and the weapons you put on them can be pretty cool. However, this mech is basiclly the most copy paste thing I've ever seen. This show has prided itself on the colorful imagry and characters, as well as its indeed very original and creative weapons.

The mech, in it's bland poopdeck grey color and generic weapons, spits in the eye of what made RWBY what it is. I have no problem with mechs themselves, but when a person claims they are making an original show/work of fiction and then includes mechs, I start to ger the sense that they are full of it.

When that mech is literally a cookiecutter mech in terms of design, my bullshit meter starts to beep like no other.

When the mech with uninspired design is colored in the blandest of bland grey, with nothing more than some weird "plasma" guns on its arms and fancy detections lasers, my bullshit meter explodes.

It pry has missles, and it pry has a melee ability of some sort, but again, nothing new.

My points all still stand, this was blatent misleading, almost to the degree of false advertising.

I would be fine with everything I've said had they ADVERTISED the anime to be that, but they haven't. Firstly, They have already told us that the Summer Rose storyline and their backstories are being released so I don't see why they'd need to put it in the trailer. Secondly, I genuinely don't understand why it's false advertising if she's older in the trailer like I actually don't so please explain it (I'm not being snarky I actually don't get it). Also, the Wolverine/Sabertooth comment, I was actually joking so you gotta chill out. And I don't think it's infringement if he just has Wolverine-esque sideburns, you haven't heard him talk or seen how he acts besides him jumping on the table so that is totally baseless. Now for the mech... Besides it being red and black, I think grey is the best fit for the mech. Gray is a bland color you need to get over it, if I had seen the mech in some exotic color, I would most defnintely have not taken it seriously. As for the plasma cannons and the lasers, I think that is a component to all mechs so I don't see why you're complaining. I think they have something in store for us that makes the mech unique but it takes away from the reveal when you put it in the trailer! Now I don't know why you keep saying false advertising when you haven't even seen the whole show yet but that's frustrating in itself because these are VOLUMES 1 and 2, not seasons 1 and 2, so that means that this is still the first season so who knows what is false advertising and what isn't so it'd be best if you would not use that term so freely.
