I had a sort of wish for Whitley that I don't believe will ever see light of day; Whitley is actually working to imrpove the standing of SDC and fix the problems his father created, but he's doing it in a subtle way rather than bullheading everything like Weiss.

So like, it would be really interesting to me if Weiss never got her 'revenge' on her father (because sometimes you don't get closure or revenge, and life sucks that way but it happens) because he dies of 'stress' or whatever, and Whitley steps into power. But he doesn't start making radical changes immediately that would have older and wiser heads call into question his ability as CEO (since he is still a child), instead he starts smaller things that make it easier for the bigger things to be put into effect later, possibly helped along by his mother.

And then later when Weiss comes to take the SDC from him by force, I would like a scene where he chastises her for always assuming that just because she's not in charge, everything is going terribly (a callback to when she didn't become the leader of RWBY and her bad attidude then), and then proceeds to show her how he has helped the SDC turn their reputation around while she's been off galavanting around the world.

I don't hate Weiss, which this may make it seem like, but I would like for Weiss to be more than just the heiress that is the only person "who can make SDC great again", and I would like Whitley to at least be competant and just as able to fix the SDC as Weiss - just in a different way.
