That's also why it's a bit easier to write, since whoever's writing the season can go "How do I get the characters to go down this route? Oh, I know, make this random shit happen."

Meanwhile, RWBY is a lot more grounded, despite the characters' gravity-defying, off-the-wall stunts, and the writers can't just throw shit at the wall and say "The universe made this happen just because."

. . . RWBY's materials for revival require characters (and yes, the gods are characters) to use those materials, rather than "Yeah, I confirmed he died, but several days later, he's actually alive, so that's cool." It sounds an awful lot like what you're saying (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that RT's writers can only produce quality scripts when the parameters for realism are so loose that they can do anything they want. But the moment requirements for realism and logic get introduced, they can't do their job.

It just sounds like you're saying they're hacks.
