Except that Monty, Miles and Kerry wrote it all together, as literally everyone has pointed out to you multiple times by now. Monty had plenty of flaws when it came to writing and some of the most criticized scenes were his ideas. But ultimately, Monty came up with the core concept, that being a bunch of color-themed girls fighting monsters. He shared the idea and from there, the three of them further worked on it. Some things wouldn’t be in the show without Miles and Kerry.

Heck, you want some proof Monty wasn’t the perfect Storyteller you think he was?


 * When coming up with the Red Trailer, the grave was just there for cool factor. Only when questioned about it did he come up with Summer on the spot.
 * Yang meeting Raven in the post-credit scene of volume 2 that made no sense? Monty’s idea.
 * Remember how you complained about how the Grimm were so easily defeated? You can blame Monty for that. Monty was a big fan of rule of the cool. He actually SUCKED at plot and was good at action sequences. Just look at the finale of volume 2 as an example. Great from an action point of view, but horrible storywise, as it makes the Grimm look like a joke.

Some scenes that he wanted to include were also Blake cutting an entire train in half and Raven attacking JNPR in a bar for no reason other then it being cool during volume 3.

Seriously, all of this common Knowledge at this point and has even been pointed out to you. Yet you keep finding reasons for disliking a show you honestly don’t know all that well in the slightest.

Monty was NOT the great Storyteller he’s painted to be. He did come up with the core concept of RWBY zand he deserves respect for that. But ultimately, if he were to have done RWBY on his own, we’d barely gotten a plot at all. So I’m getting really sick of people shitting on Miles and Kerry, while raising Monty when the latter was far from perfect.
