People who have heard that Monty has been thinking this stuff up for over a decade (especially those with no experience in writing) would probably assume something epic/awesome would result. But it's all in the delivery. RWBY relies heavily on Monty's exaggeratedly over-the-top animated action-scenes. The story and the plot by comparison are sadly lackluster at least at this early stage.

I've previously mentioned that I've been developing a story since 2006 and the backstory/world history has become the culmination of every short story and unfinished project I'd started since 1998. While I am utterly infatuated with the world I've created, I'm not really impressed with my ability to tell a compelling a story.

The point being that just because something has been planned for a long time, doesn't mean it's going to live up to the hype or even the author's expectations. The writers over at RT just have to be willing to "get to the point" with RWBY. Of course, this long, drawn out narrative may all be part of Monty's plan. I don't know.
