User blog comment:Varzan Deodinm Beldinm/The "meh" factor of this show has finally gotten to me. ( please read, then judge.)/@comment-216.37.116.117-20131011043304

These are all valid points, and I agree with all of them. Kudos to you for voicing your opinion that could very well cause you much hate.

Being someone who writes a lot purely for entertainment, I am more interested in where Monty takes this show in a writing standpoint than how many baddies team RWBY beats in an episode. I didn't have the expectations of a "tale of epic proportions" going into the show, because I heard about it from a friend and went straight into the episodes. Didn't watch the trailers till around episode ten, which I've found gives me a drastically different view than most of the viewers. I don't mind the lack of action, but I like it when it does eventually come around.

My main gripe with the show is the potential it has that it, so far, hasn't been using. And yeah, if I was writing, Jaune would pretty much be left it the dust for team RWBY. There are so many tropes and cliches, among those you mentioned, that apply to them, but they're all screaming to be deconstructed and subverted. The easiest example I can explain in a short amount of time is Weiss. Yeah she's a Tsudere, but its so obvious that there is so much more to her character. She's the daughter of  a major corporation that is known for its " controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." That's just a horrificlly brilliant deconstruction waiting to happen. What about the very aspect of living in a world with ''almost everything trying to kill you. ''What kind of impact does that have on people?

 I'm confident enough in Monty's writing skills that he will take advantage of all of the tropes and cliches, he'd be stupid not to. Episode twelve was actually my favorite, because it made Jaune the most developed character yet. I don't like Jaune that much, but that's why he's good. He has a reason for being disliked, not just because he did something incredibly badass in a trailer.

 But as I mentioned, I'm watching it to see how it turns out and where Monty guides the show. I know if I was writing, it would turn out like Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I'm evil, I know.

 Also, the arguement that the show is called RWBY doesn't mean that it should just be about them. There are plenty of shows out there where the title has little or nothing to do with the show, like Bleach. What the hell does Bleach have to do with a bunch of ninjas beating the hell out of skeleton thingies? I know there's significantly less examples in Western Media, but hey.

 You do have valid reason for being "mehed" by this show. I'm watching it for a completely different reason than you, and if I was in your situation, I would have stopped watching already.
