I think I need to explain something here. I was going to make a blog but this last comment needs to be adressed.

I was flabbergasted by Monty's death, especially because the same thing happened to the mother of my best and childhood friend. It was supposed to be a simple redressing of the nose cartilage so she would stop snoring. She had an allergic reaction to the general anethesia that cut off oxygen to her brain.

She live now in a home for long term care where she doesn't even recognize her son who goes to see her once a week for the last 23 years.

Now as for Monty's work and my giving Ren 5/10

I still think it's possible. For all we know, he had the death of Ren planned out. You really need to dissasociate the man and his work. Thinking that wanting to change his story is disrespectful only say that the man is only defined by his work.

Monty is a man who put a lot in his work, I was following his blog since before RWBY and he often stated that he felt he was missing on life with his girlfriend and didn't see his relatives as often than he wanted.

One of the hard truth that you only learn once you're published is that your work isn't yours anymore the moment it's out there. It's everyone's, that means that my readers may interpret my work in a complete different light than the one I'm trying to express.

And it's perfectly legitimate. You take out of a story what you want and it doesn't disrespect my work in the least.

Same thing if I have the honor to get one of my story bought for a movie. They can change whatever they want because at that point, it's their to do what they want with it. Would I like to have my word in the decision? Sure, but if they chose to do something I don't like, I have no problem with it either because my story is still out there anyway.

Now as for your insinuation that my giving a 5/10 for Ren's death would disrespect Monty. I'm sorry but who made you the caretaker of Monty's legacy? You don't agree with me? That completely fine and you do make a good point about Ren and Nora. But please! Don't embarrass yourself by thinking you knew how he would react.
