2. or dealt with the hunderds of mechs attack Vale and Beacon.

3. I get that losing a beloved character is sad but that's just not how you do it.

4. my last point is that she went from a solid character to basicly an upgrade for Jaune (with him getting the metal left from her headpiece, sword, and shield) and That really just annoyes me cause Jaune needs to find his own way to fight, and we shall see jaune piggy-backing off her

1. Except Ozpin specifically told her "The tower cannot fall", and if she had any idea about the fact that, if one CCT tower goes down, all of them do, then she would understand why she couldn't just collapse the tower on Cinder. Cinder's goal was to destroy the CCT tower, and the whole reason Pyrrha went up there was to try to find a way to stop Cinder from doing that.

2. Very true, but she followed Ozpin to the vault because she knew that whoever attacked Amber (Cinder) was probably gonna look for Amber to take the remainder of her Fall Maiden powers. It was a "Now or never" situation, in her and Ozpin's minds, and they felt they needed to get Amber's half of the Fall Maiden powers put into Pyrrha as soon as possible. She probably figured, once the transfer was over, she'd go back outside and use the powers to fight even more powerfully than she would have without, while also safeguarding the powers from Cinder.

When Cinder interrupted them, took the remainder of the powers, and defeated Ozpin, Pyrrha remembered that Ozpin had told her that they couldn't let the CCT tower fall. Cinder's goal was to destroy the CCT tower, so Pyrrha got desperate and went up there to try to stop her.

3. I don't think they killed Pyrrha "because it would be sad." They probably killed her as a way to get JNR personally involved in Ruby's journey to Haven. The writers planned for Pyrrha to die ever since the beginning.

4. I don't understand how Jaune decorating his new armor and his weapon upgrade with metal from Pyrrha's stuff means that he's not fighting his own way. It's not like he's copying her fighting style or taking her abilities or using her weapon. He's still fighting his way. His equipment is just decorated with metal that Pyrrha used to have with her, in remembrance of her.
