2. 'Member Lost? 'Member how they stole ideas off message boards and made the whole show up as they went along? 1. Those were fans telling you that. The fandom has a habit of taking things the RWBY crew says and making up their own shit.

Monty: Guys, please stop calling Dust magic, Dust is not magic.

Fandom: HEY EVERYBODY, MONTY SAYS THERE'S NO MAGIC IN RWBY

Gray: This trailer we're doing for volume 4 is kinda like the four original trailers, in that it's original footage instead of showing you clips from the volume.

Fandom: GUYS, GRAY SAID WE'RE GETTING FOUR TRAILERS

See?

2. Monty, Miles, and Kerry sat down and planned out the entire story's course before they even began writing the script for volume 1. And we have actually seen stuff in the show where they've taken things in a direction that none of us ever theorized or expected. Yeah, some of the "plot twists" and "reveals" were exactly what we thought they'd be, but that's because they were painfully obvious, and most often, they were revealed in the same exact volume, which didn't give the crew time to go "Oh, the fandom says it's this, so we'll take their idea and make it this."
