I know I had this conversation with him before but hell I kind of derailed the conversation, as of right now I honestly can't see Jaune with anyone, be they Ruby, Weiss or some rando. All I want out of life is Renora. I am not set on having them die, but if her getting shot in the heel was really just a sort of joke they threw in at the end then it may just be bad writing and I don't like that either. No way do I think it was a coincidence that in choosing various characters they happened to settle on ones where in their stories they didn't live happily ever after, but died in battle or as a consequence of battle. However, at the same time I do not really support the idea of them being Team Dies at the End, even if I do enjoy calling them that. Getting Pyrrha killed in a way that involves a blatant shout-out to the death of Achilles still creates the impression that this not only wasn't a coincidence, but a form of foreshadowing as to their fates. Many people reacted that way if you go back and check because RT makes a point of referencing the inspirations and even having situations or relationships that mirror their inspirations' stories.
