RWBY has to continue, I think. It really does. The way RT said to honor Monty was to be creative, right? So it would make sense for them to continue to create the world of RWBY, the rich, wonderful world that he imagined on a single napkin and turned into a very popular web show. It might be different with him gone, but as Monty himself said, 'keep moving forward.' He was a man of progress and of determination. Like he always did, his creation should continue onward as well. The animation and Ren can surely be taken care of (Shane Newville is a great animator in his own right, after all, as seen from his Mega Man video); the important thing to me is that the world and the characters Monty created can live on and go on. It would be a great way to honor his memory; I think it would be something of a disservice to stop the show, the show he poured his heart into.

Besides, if Weiss' story were to end, I might just cry. Monty created her, and she's grown to be one of my favorite fictional characters period. I don't want to lose that connection, because part of that connection is the connection of fan to creator. I might never have met Monty, but I see Weiss is a testament to how much he's impacted my life. And of course, I think that RWBY's a good show and it would be a loss for it to be cancelled.
