User blog:Gundam Legilis/How to improve RWBY: an opinion.

Hello!

We all know that RWBY is awesome and mediocre at times. Now that we've seen two volumes full of their stuff, I've noticed a pattern going on about the things holding RWBY back.

Here's a major one: The writing.

Miles and Kerry do an okay job with the writing. But it holds the show back to a degree.

First, the pacing is a little sloppy. It goes fast one way, or slow in another way. Constant time skips appear.

Second, there are common tropes often used in the show, that everyone can detect miles away. Such as Blake, an ex-member of the WF, being detected at the WF rally.

Third, there is the part of quick resolutions, and a lack of urgency. Breach is one good example of this.

There is another one with the show. The characters.

First off, heavy attention is placed on Team RWBY while ignoring many other characters.

Second, Team RWBY themselves are so predictable with their personality types, that we can see where they go. Future AU by funblade is an accurate representation of that. We're destined to see Ruby achieve her goals with little effort, because she's naive despite massive pressure, Weiss will redeem the CEO, but need help running the company, because she's a Rich Bitch who desires redemption, but has inexperience running the SDC, Blake will be vindicated when racism is successfully fought and that the radical WF will be taken care of, and Yang will have craploads of fun, being the master of the party, dance and fun scene. This is why more attention is placed on Jaune, the noble lovable idiot, better, but that's not saying much.

Third, The villains' plot is never fully seen, and is concealed too much. A smidgen of exposure can be better.

The worldbuilding is limited in a sense. We need more in-depth details about the Kingdoms, some more about Auras ans Semblances, about the events, the timeline etc.

These problems can be solved by providing better writing besides Miles and Kerry, and to conduct further extensive research on all media, to help create more surprises for RWBY. Additionally, bringing in more people to help expand RWBY can help even further can ease off some of the stress for Monty and co. by operating several departments for RWBY for all of its material.
