I suppose any series can be predictable to a certain extent. As a media student, I am aware that any show is likely to display typical conventions applicable to a particular genre or even plot structure, in order to appeal to a certain audience.

However, Rooster Teeth are very, very popular at the moment. They're in the kind of position where they could film Geoff and Gavin playing pool or golf for seven hours, and some fans would probably still watch it all. They can afford to take risks. So perhaps there is simply no excuse for this kind of plot, where fans can see everything coming entire episodes before it actually does.

On the other hand, perhaps it is because RWBY is just a fledgeling series. Maybe it just hasn't really had the time to develop characters and plot enough for twists in the narrative to actually surprise people.

Maybe Miles and Kerry just aren't very good writers. Or maybe they are, and expecting a show from them that is completely unpredictable (when dozens and dozens of other writers have failed to so) is rather unreasonable.

Who knows?

On another note, I kinda liked the Dark Knight Rises.
