RWBY is not a teen drama and jaune is already an adult in Volume 4 (between 18 and 19 years) in the midst of a bloody world war that promises to become or possible end of the world. after the death of the first person who believed in him and who had a stronger (whether romantic or not) relationship with her loose murderer (which became a kind of just God front and eyes), after months see villages destroyed and people killed by tales if you can ignore the trailer volume 4. so you think that would not mature at all to jaune and this would remain the same teenager looking for a relationship with a cool girl to get up self-esteem (which already Volume 2 was ceasing to be), which has other things to worry about.

that's stupid, what happened to jaune has to progressively more mature and focused, what you propose is that jaune not only should not ripen but must eliminate its character development to have a superficial relationship and cliche no longer matches the tone of the series that would make him look bad, besides that it is too early,

before jaune  have any new romance jaune should have a few volumes of mourning in respect pyrrha otherwise would be tacky and then jaune and should have fully matured, so if a relationship starts would have to be reasons for mature adult with someone jaune has shared screen time from the start. not someone come out of nowhere for superficial reasons immediately after the death of someone who loved him, jaune is a character in evolution that is maturing, what you propose would seem like a man child incapable mature, whose experience does not they taught nothing and ruin his past character development as future

1. Unfortunately RWBY did present itself somewhat as a teen drama, though that is completely irrelevant to everything... Young Adulthood is not immunity to drama or stupidity.

2. "...in the midst of a bloody world war that promises to become or possible end of the world. after the death of the first person who believed in him and who had a stronger (whether romantic or not) relationship with her loose murderer (which became a kind of just God front and eyes)..."

This makes no G'ddamn grammatical or logical sense. Separate your points with sentences and or paragraphs, and make sure you finish them.

3. (attempting to parse #2) A: completely irrelevant, Life/death struggles are relatively constant in Remnant, war barely complicates things. B: his Friend and a possible lover died, she never was his lover, therefore the only relationships we have to work with between Jaune and Pyrrha with is a strong friendship/mentorship that "could have been more if". C: Jaune and Cinder literally met once... they have no relationship.

4. "...after months see villages destroyed and people killed by tales if you can ignore the trailer volume 4. so you think that would not mature at all to jaune and this would remain the same teenager looking for a relationship with a cool girl to get up self-esteem (which already Volume 2 was ceasing to be), which has other things to worry about...."

Not much better than #2, I have not seen the trailer therefore cannot comment on it, and neither can you if you wish to follow this Wiki's spoiler policy. As for "maturing Jaune" this is literally a character that could not take a hint less than a volume ago, whose Volume 3 maturation involved failing to lead his team and actively disrupting their tournament match to yell at them about things he should have discussed and worked out beforehand... and only ONE of his teammates has issues listening(Nora). The writers do not and have not written any good examples of Maturation involving Jaune, so expecting it seems highly suspect at this point, regardless of what has occurred.

5. As to your last and best articulated point in the excerpt in #4; No, I expect Jaune is beyond merely looking for a cool girl, but I don't expect he would push them out of his lap if they fell in it. I also don't really know what level of self respect he might be at the moment, he made some strides before and was trending towards a positive self image, but following Pyrrha's death I wouldn't be surprised if it took a major dive and he began to backslide in many areas of development.
