That's also why it's a bit easier to write, since whoever's writing the season can go "How do I get the characters to go down this route? Oh, I know, make this random shit happen."

Meanwhile, RWBY is a lot more grounded, despite the characters' gravity-defying, off-the-wall stunts, and the writers can't just throw shit at the wall and say "The universe made this happen just because."

RvB and RWBY have entirely different natures to them. Doesn't change the fact that it has better writing, dialogue, and character development. Still a better show. That's true. I was trying to explain why RvB is able to get away with weird revivals, while RWBY wouldn't be able to. RWBY has more of a requirement to have a solid explanation (Ex. Penny's a robot, and her core was recovered; Ozpin was "cursed" by the God of Light so his soul moves on to a new host every time he dies), whereas RvB can do whatever it wants.
