One of the songs says "This is not a fairytale"...what if, maybe, we are looking at all the fairytale influences (Wizard of Oz, Red Riding hood, Cinderella etc...) but instead what is truly happening is a form of disappointment?

Not a true happy ever after?

Like...yes, the characters will be based on fairytale characters but they will be dark, broken versions. And the story will not follow the fairytales but instead the opposite, making RWBY's plot darker towards the fairytale characters. Y'know, if you actually do some research, you'll find that the actual origins of the fairytales and stories that were used for the show are pretty messed up. Like Brothers Grimm and all that, not just Disney or something. For example, there is an older version of Sleeping Beauty where she was raped.
