1. Monty and Martin are two different people, making RWBY into a slaughterfest was not in Monty's character, Harry Potter levels of Dark seem to be more likley in a show like RWBY, not a shameless Game of Thrones rip off. Book nor TV Show.

2. Remember thet themes and songs of this show "Let's Just Live!" is one of those songs that bring hope

3. Ruby herself is an indication of a happy ending, 1. However, IIRC M&K, and I think Monty, did say they were at least partially inspired by Game of Thrones. In other words, even if not 100% like GoT, the latter still has influence.

2. Ahem....Divide, Sacrifice, Die, Red Like Roses, Time To Say Goodbye, When It Falls, and more to come.

3. How? She was the innocent cinammon roll before watching 2 friends die, one in her very face. Characters like her generally end up being "brought down to earth", with their idealistic optimism crushed, turning them sour if not downright killing their hope and ideals.

How does Ruby herself indicate any kind of happy ending?
