I would love to see the overall tone be more reflective and sombre in Volume 4, though. So far, RWBY has been tonally either goofy and light-hearted, or complete despair and anguish and pain, with very little middle-ground in between. Something more similar to the "Red" and "White" Trailers, with that sort of melancholy mood to them, would be the perfect way for them to go in Volume 4. I completely agree. I want it to slow down, have more meaningful conversations instead of the usual time filler chatter. And bless their hearts, but I hope it's not a troperiffic shitshow. I'd like there to be enough going on that they can focus on character development without it being overly predictable or gag worthy.

I'd also like to know more about Glynda and Ironwood, and of course, Qrow and Raven. (I figure Ozpin is a special case and will get his own reveal later on.) I get that the kids are the focus, but the adults, for me, are far more interesting and I would think worthy enough to have one episode just for them, maybe even with some ongoing arcs of their own that don't involve cleaning up after the kids.
