-which would utterly gut RWBY's impact in their own story, if they can't save their friends, or make the big sacrifice plays, what is their purpose? what is their point? -I don't remember the Ragnarok being a mass-extinction event. More of an Armaggeddon instead of Apocalypse. And I don't remember Jean D'Arce taking any fall and getting killed for it. I do remember Jean being accused of being a witch and being burned for it, which is different from Jaune being blamed for Ren/Nora's death.

-Why would it do that? Really, why? Must their impact be so tied together to their friends? RWBY can each make an impact in multiple ways that do not involve their friends. And their friends dying does not mean their impact in the story would be diminished.

Their purpose, their point, should not be tied to their friends's lives.
