Ok, that's just BS. The writing hasn't been improving. It's basically at the same level, at best, and the pace has become horrible. They don't understand the whole "show, don't tell" and though I do understand that in a different world with different rules some amount of exposition is needed, they have been using that as an excuse to tell us the same thing 20 times. The first time Raven and Yang talked was a huge disappointment and added nothing new (being told that Ozpin was the one who turned them into birds changed the story in no way).

It's clear that whoever is writing is either not outlining properly or not outlining at all. There are tons of scenes that should have been cut, cliffhangers for the sake of cliffhangers with no pay off (like Raven and Yang's talk), characters have been standing still (I mean in terms of development), characters who are there but shouldn't be and add nothing to the narrative (like Sun, although I suppose that's a V4 problem) and I feel like I am leaving a lot of stuff out.

I understand wanting to be loyal to the people who created something, but RWBY has always been Monty's passion project and he's not here anymore and it's time to accept that before it all becomes so bad, that even the biggest apologists will walk away  and then it's bye bye passion project.
