User blog:Gundam Legilis/Philosophy in RWBY

Hello everybody!

It has been stated that Monty is a fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion, in his interviews. Hell, I watch Monty's Twitter feed, and a photo popped up on his work station that showed him watching an episode on one screen. (It is now within the hundreds of other ones). I too am a fan of Eva, so we share that in common.

In that threezero interview, Monty stated that he hoped to put some Evangelion themes into RWBY. And in Eva, there are many themes, for a Power Rangers-esque show that is the spiritual ancestor to Pacific Rim.

It deals with depression, loneliness, miscommunication, identity, existentialism, among many other things. Piloting a "robot" is hell, and there are no "Instant Badass Heroes" on the show. Plus, plenty of gore, nudity, and Christian references to boot, so I wouldn't recommend this to youngsters.

Then I thought, what if RWBY had these things in its writing? Would there be a massive improvement over the show in its future volumes? Also, what philosophical themes other than not giving up do you want to see in RWBY?

Thoughts?
