And you stop acting all mighty Live. We all have opinions. Just because it looks "obvious" to you doesn't make it right, especially since this is RWBY we're talking about. If you want to prove why everyone but you is wrong then this isn't a discussion but just your constant attempt to prove yourself right thus showing that your can only see this topic from one POV and showing to me that critical thinking or discussion are a big no to you thus also showing to me that talking to you is only going to end up in my being treated like a colossal retard. But I'm a patient person so I'll deal with your attitude.

She doesn't need CD nor is implied? I'm sorry but how does that make any difference. You're also changing the expression of the phrase to suit your points and it "looks" like a good counter argument but it's silly when you think about it. You're only repeating what you already stated: Pyrrha + CD = Nah. Just kill her already. Again, your major point is that she's the strongest so she can die and it will actually mean something. I'm sorry what? It can help in various things? Yeah right, that's because you have no idea of who Ren and Nora truly are or what they're capable of. Does that mean that when you see, once they get development, that they are capable of something they will become expendable then?

Yeah and you're forcing the idea that every single character is useless but Pyrrha. May I need to remind you that Cinder has a "list"? As in: Several people who can be compared to Pyrrha. That means she's not the only one whose dead will help make the villains or the Grimm a more believable threat. Stop forcing the idea that Pyrrha is the only character who matters. And it's "ignorance" not ignorancy, you ignorant.

Yeah and could be done with things like Breach. I doubt the death of a close person can mean something to Ruby given that she saw a lot of people being attacked by the Grimm and she even mentioned that a lot of people got hurt. People died that day. Even if it's not directly stated, it will be even more stupid to state that there were no casualties. So if Ruby can be told that a lot of people died and she can get over it after a good nap, I doubt Pyrrha's death will mean anything to Ruby. Only someone like her own team or family would actually leave an impact on her.

Let's take in account that this show isn't exactly famous for its great amount of episodes and length. Jaune will have to get over it very quickly because they just can't spend all of his scenes with some Heroic BSOD. They don't have that much time. Either he gets over it and fights back or they decide to give everyone the same treatment and make every character go over deep depression because Jaune lying in the floor mourning over Pyrrha's death while everyone else is fighting for at least 5 episodes isn't going to work in a show like RWBY.

It's not like I'm completely against it. It's just that deaths that ignore CD look more like a joke to me and I really don't want RWBY to fall deeper. It's writing is already terrible, Pyrrha's death would only make it worse. Sure, it can work in universe but when we're remind that this is a show... well... no dude. That's just weak writing.
