I wholeheartedly admit that Monty making the Red, White, Black, and Yellow trailers the way he did was a mistake. The main reason I'm looking forward to volume 2 is because Monty said he set volume 2 up to give us a better look at the characters and develop them. That's pretty much it. *Shrug* I'm not necessarily argueing that RWBY is horrible, this is mainly about the false advertising that so many RWBY fans deffend even though there no justification for it.

I wouldn't mind if RWBY was advertised to to a school drama with the backdrop to be about monster fighting. It's been done before, and school drama is good for getting us invested in characters. Problem is school drama isn't what I watched RWBY; the first episode showed promise, then after that it all steadily just dropped out of the combat and delved right into the drama.

To be honest, I think Monty thought that since he's using cliches and well known tropes he doesn't need to develop the charaters all that much. As an ametur writer I can tell you that's false, any ametur writer will tell you that you always need to develop the characters.

Personaly, I think there may be more going on behind the scenes pretaining to RWBY then we're lead to beleive. Monty pry knew a single week isn't near enough time to make good animation, dialouge, voice acting, and video length. This may have been rushed out the door in an attempt to get some quick cash off of Monty's reputation.

IS this ture? No idea, can't prove it, but it would explain the unethical advertising and the fact that an experianced animator gace himself such a short amount of time to animate.
