There's something I wanna get off my chest (and I hope I don't get shot for it), but I truly hope this "let's shit on Oz every time we mention him!" trend RWBY seems to be resorting to grows old quick.

Do I want him to make up for his lack of trust in the world and stand against the odds with the rest? Yes.

Do I want him to be shited on every time he opens his mouth and be treated like everyone's punchbag just because they feel owed to it? F NO.

All the characters in this game have to see each other at eye level at some point and I don't want it to drag indefinitely just to make Oz feel like shit when... the world's survival is their responsibility as much as Oz's.

It honestly makes me feel the reveal of Summer's final mission being her own secret was a way to say "not everything bad is Oz's fault, people. So chill, ok?" to the audience... and also reminding us that many characters still have their own skeletons in their closet. Looking at you, Mr. Jaune IcheatedmywayintoBeacon Arc (don't @ me on that tho, because I DO love Jaune).
