Shadow at Morning wrote: Your point on overemphasising the role of Guardian is well-taken, but for that it is so significantly placed in the trailer, and spoken of so portentiously. The framing of the trailer demands, if there is any degree of honesty at all, that the role fall to Ruby. Moreover, the series is ostensibly about her, primus inter pares of RWBY, and so we naturally are inclined to associate this role with her. the principle of conservation of detail also applies, in that if it were not significant to the main plot, it would not arise, therefore also suggesting a role for Ruby.

You are true but our divergence is that I don't think that a main character needs the "best public spot" to do something. Pyrrha, or whatever else, being the Guardian would indeed have a great role but that would only be complementary to Ruby who will achieve something on her own.

Well it maybe be just because I love character who are not in light and yet manage to save the day at the end by pure effort. The underdog always have more merit in my eyes that people who are put early in powerfull position. I like the idea of Ruby accessing something greater than a "simple" guardian.

But that a guess to far away for this trend.
