Although I will admit, the deaths didn't have much emotional weight to them. But think about it! What difference do deaths make if nobody cares about the people dying? If there's absolutely no emotional weight, then what's the difference between 10 deaths and 0 deaths? It's like that stupid bookstore guy in volume 2. Did anyone care? About as much as they cared about Tock, WHO WAS A USELESS WASTE OF TIME (no pun intended).

Wait, now that I think about it, that bookstore guy does count as a death. So I guess, tonally, there really is no difference between 1-2 and 4-6. The common theme: pointless characters die, nobody cares. That still sounds like a personal problem to me. The tone of V3 was dark because the eternal optimist(Ruby) was unhappy, but because this is her story, we follow her gleefully traipsing down the dark path without a care, the tone of V3 is simply unsustainable without actually taking the time to stop and see the dead people, but they're still there, hell the saddest part of V5 was the easily miss able B plot of Qrow finding everyone in the area worth a damn to be dead.
