The first three volumes are merely "okay" at best if you apply any real standards to them. Potential that was never realized is my take.

The first three volumes, mostly one and two, have a garageband sort of charm to them. They also came out before indie animations of that scope were common on YouTube. You could watch the five minute episodes for free on YouTube and there was a lot of charming writing and enthusiasm from everyone behind the scenes that carried through in the show itself.

This evaporated as soon as it got professional and tried to be a big boy cartoon.

Anyway is Volume 10 happening or not?

The first 3 volumes are great, after the third it goes to shit. Simple

I like Volume 4. Ruby was still likable, Team RNGR had a lot of solid interaction, Cinder didn't have any lines, I liked the Yang scenes before the following volumes would just forget them, I don't remember the Blake scenes at all, there was some decent groundwork for the new villains and Oscar, and did I mention that Cinder didn't speak?

I think Cinder speaks starting at the end of Vol 3. How convenient that Vol 4 began after poor Monty died from cat allergy (if he was not outright sabotaged). Blake gets insufferable in Vol 4 and beyond due to the blatant change of her personality and her parents, who clashed with her "street rat" personality and made her look like a giant hypocrite. And then she sets her own home on fire to blame the terrorists for doing so, kek.

In volume 4, Cinders' VA wasn't available, so they have her injuries from Ruby stop her for speaking; which, unintentionally, makes for the only decent character bit Cinder has in the series.

I thought that was volume 5, not 4?
 
I was thinking about the Justice League crossover comics for whatever reason and I came to the conclusion that RWBY characters would make for a horrible crossover with any DC property due to the power scaling issues coming from Remnant's fairly unimpressive power ceiling in comparison with western comics. But I think that a RWBY crossover with the X-Men could work since semblances are basically just mutant powers and also commiserate with the X-Men power scale wise.

Don't forget how the JL were nerfed hard just to make the RWBY characters look better by comparison.

And Wonder Woman tells Blake that they have the hardest out of all their teammates. The two island princesses who had loving parent(s) had it worse than the kid who watched his parents get murdered in front of him, the guy who's entire species was wiped out when he was a newborn and the sisters who lost both their mother's.

In fairness to Superman he was too young to ever remember Krypton or his parents, as far as he knew until he was ten years old or so he was a human. That's kind of the entire point of his character.

But yeah, Diana hasn't had it all that bad in the grand scheme of things. She was molded from clay and given the breath of life by the Gods and then trained as a warrior princess.

Plus, Wonder Woman started life as the author's way to explain his BDSM dominatrix fetish to the world.

Sure, and don't get me wrong, I prefer Superman to be Clark Kent, raised by two loving Human parents first, son of Krypton second, but I do think the destruction of his homeworld and his species weighs on him.
