I don't spend any time in the RWBY community outside of the wikia so I decided to read some of the utube comments on the V5 trailer. In general utube comments are snarky, ill-considered and lean to the right so take this with a pinch of salt.

1) The Fandom is really in the dark. I heard one guy saying "I bet that Knight in the sky will be Juane." There were more but overall, the average viewer has forgotten or didn't pay attention to major plot points. That is expected. People forget stuff. It happens. That is what the Wikia is for.

2) The average viewer is really young. Maybe this is just the utube audience but the ammount of immature "HYPE OVERLOAD" or "AAAAAA" comments were apalling. It was like 50%.

3) The average viewer actually likes this show a lot. We, on the wiki, talk a lot about the failures of the show to the point of fixating on them but the average viewer doesn't remember that stuff or doesn't consider the writing failures. For every person who says "RWBY is total crap. Its dieing. They won't even make a V6." there is about 100 people who are losing their minds over "hype".

Overall, I am not excited at all for V5 which is weird. The trailer was cringy as hell. Qrow's lines sounded forced and out of character. He must have a terrible voice actor.

I don't think I can find one natural sounding sentence in the whole trailer. Watching it a second time was easier.
