Same.

The way I see it, RWBY is likely going to take a super si-fi turn or a super-mythical turn. It all depends on the origin of man. Are we from Remnant? Maybe. If not, though, where do we come from? Earth? "The Void"?

Actually, on the last one, the opening does say that the Grimm were intent on "returning" humanity to the Void, and if we take that at face-value, where (or what) is the Void? My first response is, of course, space... but an alternate, mythical dimension (afterlife, etc.) could be just as likely.
