User blog:Hidden Scorpius XI/One Smart idea that probably won't be implemented in the show.

I was rewatching the Gaara vs Toph Death Battle, and I was reminded of the Behind the Scenes Edition fo Avatar: The Legend of Aang. This edition of the show would often pop-up trivia and behind the scenes information about the world of Avatar and the characters, including Toph's ability to sense the earth EVEN IF IT ISN'T TOUCHING THE GROUND. A "word of god" compendium, if you may; legitimate and confirmed information that, if worked into the script of an episode, would have been delivered in ankward exposition, a dreaded resource in story-writing. Resource that, sadly, RWBY's writers haven't been able to avoid most of the time.

So that's the one smart idea that probably won't be implemented. List down all the unspoken facts of the world of RWBY and deliver them in a tie-in form with the rest of the show. Director's comments are mostly trivia that came up regarding production of the show, with very little explanation about the world itself, and World of Remnant does too broad strokes, most of the time about things that already were adressed in the show.

I'm not suggesting making an edition of all the episodes in RWBY that includes these pop-ups, but it'd be nice to have something listing the stuff that we still have not the slightest idea of. Some examples would include, but aren't limited to:


 * What each color of Dust can do (we've had only off-hand comments on this subject, and it still isn't enough.)
 * How's the calendar system in Remnant (We only know that it goes through the standard four seasons, nothing else.)
 * Cultural equivalents between Remnant and the Real World (can we really assume that Vacuo is like Asia and Mistral is like Europe? How much?)
 * Names of other weapons (sorely needed, for completeness sake.)
 * Character allusions (Ruby= Red Riding Hood; Jaune= Joan D'Arc; etc.)
 * Birthdays (not exactly essential, but shows how much can be delivered in these BTSs.)

Again... I really am not keeping my hopes up in that the RWBY Crew (cRWeBY?) will implement this idea, but I still wanted to share it with the comunnity.

Thoughts? Feedback? Constructive criticism?
