Since when is all of Team Juniper marked for death? What makes them essentially marked for death is the fact Pyrrha was killed and specifically killed in a way that was reminiscent of the death of Achilles because she was first shot in the heel with an arrow. Killing her off, particularly killing her off in that way, creates the unavoidable impression that these characters will ultimately endure the fate suffered by their inspirations in their stories. Not doing that makes Pyrrha's death look out of place.

pyrrha was obsessed with fulfilling his destiny and let that determine their decisions rather than find another way that did not include sacrifice addressing a doomed battle instead of waiting for a better time to face cinder with the help of others, what dies as his counterpart could be considered a form of ironic / karmic death because of their attachment to wing idea of ​​destiny and fatalistic worldview. jaune and the rest of your team is likely to adopt a philosophy that consists screw destination: this way could face scenarios faced his inspirations and succeed where they failed as a way to demonstrate that in the end things are not written in stone and one can choose or change your destination.

that would have special meaning with jaune since their heroic archetype is the opposite of pyrrha, while pyrrha was someone seen by everyone (including herself in a way) as destined for greatness with great gifts and talents, admired by everyone, always trying to fulfill a role for which she looked tailor-made; while jaune wanted to become a hunter though no one believed he could do or had wood for it (including myself), he showed little promise or talent at the beginning and was seen as a joke and below the rest by the majority; in fact it can be said that much of his character arc is about treating super what he feels his role as preordained as a failure and do what it was not supposed to achieve, bone triumph over destiny.

so while pyrrha wanted to fulfill his destiny while .jaune want to change and rise above their destination. in this way would make sense that when faced with a situation like his counterpart achieve change the outcome, symbolizing that to succeeded in making their own destiny rather than accept a preordained role.
