....but what if we saw more of Roman before he ever dies?... I'm gonna stop you there, because this is where the rest of us are at... Roman is dead.

We watched him go offscreen while RT staff literally said that was how he died. This is almost impossible for staff to have misinterpeted and just said in a commentary involving the writers and not get called out on.... This means the writers OKed it and have no plans to involve him futher, indeed the best case scenario is that they intentionally had it said so that the writers cannot make Torchwick storyline Reminiscent of Volume 1 Jaune when locked up in the writing room.

I doubt you will find anyone who thinks it was a good idea or was well executed, but he was executed, and there are very likely reasons RT has decided to end him in the dumbest way possible.
