I'm sure other people have cross dressed, but they wouldn't be as well known as Thor, Mulan, Joan and Achilles. Agreed, the second connection seems also irrelevant also due to the context... a Suicide, A god during the apocalypse, a champion crucified  and a warrior cut down during their prime... hardly seems like a connection, let alone one to follow to the letter.

Even if they were to follow it, Nora would die during a mass extinction, and Ren would kill himself after, while Jaune takes the fall and get killed after because he was blamed for it... which would utterly gut RWBY's impact in their own story, if they can't save their friends, or make the big sacrifice plays, what is their purpose? what is their point?
