I didn't want to sound rude, I apologize for that. But my point is, RWBY merchandising has been very misleading, and I particularly dislike creators giving false information to create hype, and Monty has done this many times, If he does not want to give information to give a surprise, he should not give information at all regarding those topics, taking the sisters topic as an example again, he said they were not related at all, then he confirmed that they are blod related and are indeed sisters(probably half sisters), but by this point in the series the topic should have been at least addressed once, because it makes no sense it has not. One single line like: "why do you have diffferent last names and are sister?" with a simple answer. It is not complicated, and would build up the characters, no need to build all the details, just give a simple fact to build interest in it. As I said before, at least one of the characters would ask that, Jaune with his awkwardness, or Nora since she is all outgoing. Yet looks like no one else cares, like no one else is interested in knowing other characters background stories, and they are suposed to be friends? are friends supposed to care for their friends backgrounds? Therefore it makes sense... Bad writing there if you ask me. There is a huge difference between saving some plot points for later on and create intrigue, and not building characters background to create hype out of simple doubts, they are only using it as a cheap trick to keep people interested in the series, and that is fine, but I don't like it, because it makes RWBY a mediocre series, when it could be far more than that with the potential it has.
