Are you kidding me?! Neo is one of the best things about this shitshow, and do you know why? It should be obvious. Because she's not bogged down with M&K's horrifically awful dialogue. The reason Neo's so amazing is because she's PURE MONTY. Miles and Kerry have nothing to do with her. She's style, spectacle, and coolness condensed into a single character without any of Miles and Kerry's atrocious writing to ruin her.

I swear to god, if every character on this show was a mute, this show would be 100x better than it is right now. It would curtail these idiots' shitty writing, and would spare us from the cringy dialogue that perpetually makes this show nearly unwatchable. Yes, Neo is a nice character and the show would be much duller if she hadn't been added. BUT the lightning has a habit not to strike twice. If the show had "more Neos", it would have become really annoying really fast. Not all of them would end up being the fan favourite and at that point the flaws of them being rushed or lacking voice or other things CRWBY could have done to save time, would end up becoming a major topic of criticism.

And I wouldn't say that 'Miles and Kerry were heroically covering up Monty's rushed ideas'. I'm just saying that they wouldn't have been skilled enough writers to keep up with him forever or know when it would have been for the best to ignore his ideas for the sake of  the story.
