So... I've shown my roommate RWBY, binged most seasons in only one night each, and he's excited enough for the show to go to the Fathom premiere of V6 with me, BUT of course the reason I bring that up is because he came up with "It would make more sense if Qrow is Ruby's dad" all by himself.

Apologies to anyone who thought this thread was over. I didn't want to make a new one since the topic was the same... Anyway,

Yup, no external influence. He just watched the show. I blame it on the amount of comics and other vast arrays of entertainment he reads. Comics especially retcon death (or start alternate universes, etc) and do various other farfetched twists like this sort of thing.

He, like everyone else, chalked it up to "Ruby looks and acts way more like Qrow and absolutely nothing like Taiyang." I explained that she looks definitively like a 1000% carbon-copy of her mother Summer and acts like Qrow because he was the dominant father figure in her life she could have fun/identify with as a growing human who needs to do those things somehow, but to no avail.

I was thinking at least he'd have other reasons, but no, they were the same.
