Personally, while I would like RWBY to get a bit more serious, and start to approach some adult themes, I certainly wouldn't want it to reach Warhammer 40,000 or The Monstrumologist levels of holy-shit-life-sucks-we're-gonna-die!

RWBY, though, well, is about young girls and boys battling monsters and saving the world, it, in my mind, is still very much a "coming of age" story. To put excessive brutality into it would kind of distract from its central themes.

Although, I think it would be pretty cool for a more serious spin-off series focusing on the more adult members of the cast, such as Ozpin, Glynda, etc, dealing with adult issues, such as spirituality, meaning of life, and moving beyond past failures.

Though, of course, I believe for now, we should just:

Grit our teeth and wait for Thursday!

(Well, it's Friday for me actuallly....)

I wonder who made up the meme in the first place, anyways? I'm sure the seriousness will increase as it goes, but for now its light because we've just started. RvB was the same way.
