Return them to the Beacon Satus Quo, in a single volume, would require so much explanations, retcons and breaking suspension of disbelief, that you might as well reboot the show. As they should.

I feel like it’s do-able but not with the original crew going back to learn. Instead have a flash forward. Things are still not great, but Ruby and whoever else are older and trying to teach a new generation of hunters. It’s not the most positive outlook, but Ruby can at least tell the next generation not to fuck up like she did.

Oh, so a soft reboot? All roads lead to a reboot it seems.

Damn, almost as if having a filler season where nobody fucking does anything but commit suicide and fuck their cats was probably a stupid idea.

Exactly. My point is that the fans clamoring for RWBY to comeback for it to have “ a proper ending” are being delusional.

It would take more than a volume to do it properly. Properly being the key word. It’s not like this show was anywhere near a finale, and was cut short. RT plan always was to stall forever and keep getting checks from WB.

They didn’t count on fans patient being finite. And now they paid for it.
 
I want some other company to buy it, reboot it, recast it, and find greater success. It’d be funny if they hired someone close to the creator to help them keep the spirit of the OG and it’s Kathleen Zuelch. Just maximum asshurt from the former VAs and maximum drama.

Don’t take this the wrong way, as I know you said you saw the potential issues so I want to comment on both outcomes. I am criticizing the position RT left things, not your ideas. I think you are just doing the best with that you had.

A common thing I notice about your ideas is a return to The Beacon academy status quo, right? I agree that would be ideal. That’s when the show was at its best. I think Japan liked it too when it was basically a high school anime.

But heres the issue. It’s no longer possible. Our main leads. except Ruby, are pushing 19-20 years old. And they alrady have their huntress licences so they basically have gradauted from their equivalent of collegee. Miles and the others shoot themselves on the foot with, yet another, retarded decision.

Return them to the Beacon Satus Quo, in a single volume, would require so much explanations, retcons and breaking suspension of disbelief, that you might as well reboot the show. As they should.

I think you may have misunderstood.

My first point was going by how the show has operated, with the team going to each kingdom to try and get the associated relic, except now, Salem and Cinder are actively making moves so they know they have to hurry since they know they’re in a metaphorical race. And going back to Beacon means going back to the last relic that hasn’t been claimed yet, where you end the season on the note of the heroes and villains headed for a final collision at Beacon Academy, where it all started for our main character(s).

And my second point is basically the “it’s all in your head” thing with Ruby and something in the last episode walking her up, be it her having dreams back on Patch before the start of the series or the Red trailer (hell, you can end on the Red trailer or leading into it but now there’s more to it than a bunch of action), or have it when she’s first at Beacon and it ends with Ruby waking up to go to class, king of the like the end of RWBY: Ice Queendom, or it’s Ruby waking up from the events of V3 except the difference is that Beacon is in a point where classes can be held again, even if they’re still reeling from the aftermath. Kind of like this Simpsons intro from the first episode after the release of The Simpsons movie.


I’ll admit it’s a cop out, so this one probably won’t be done, but you can still have it be done in a way where you can tie it to the Salem conflict, but have it be where Ruby and her friends have something to look forward to after they graduate. Hell you could do something where they HAVE to get stronger (like the time skip in One Piece) by keeping the part where Yang lost her arm, except she’s not as despondent because when Ruby sees her it’s been a while since the attack and she’s just recieved her mechanical arm. Weiss and Blake, that’ll probably be tougher to handwave.

As stupid as those are, and despite me repeating myself, that’s what I mean by “returning to Beacon” as a status quo.

I don’t blame you. It is a mess. There’s just no easy way to fix it. Kudos for trying tough.

Your first solution seems logical, but even then I have to point out we are no missing one, but two relics. Knowledge and choice. So even that solution Would have to speed run the last two relics for a somewhat open ended ending.

But again, this is not criticism on you, you have good ideas. I am critiquing RT for leaving such a mess behind.

Isn’t the relic of knowledge the lamp? All three questions have been used so it’s been rendered useless. All that’s left is Destruction at Vacuo, and choice back at Beacon.

So there are parts of RWBY you think aren't too stupid to care much for? Are you a RWBY fan?

It's hard to answer. I liked it at first back when Monty was alive. Then it became a sunk cost fallacy. I am a fan of what it could have been, and what t was at the beginning, not of what it ended up becoming.

Even at the beginning it was bad, though. Inconsistent production value already at a bad baseline, new ideas inserted on the fly, and this eerie feeling that the creators were relying on fans to make justifications and do the intellecual rigour for them so they could steal them all without being credited and claim they were just "confirming" fan speculation.

And I'd say that eventually got proven right if that infamous "50/50" Reddit comment is to be taken as proof.
 
It was brainless fun at first, but when they tried to plot it up, it became clear they don't have what it takes. At least Dobson got his lesbians for his hairy blue bear balls.

I am not going to pretend it ever was a masterpiece. It was an amateur low budget show made by a weeb, But at least it was fun

We've spent 400+ pages talking about this show, so there's clearly something interesting about it.

Most of those pages were dedicated to laughing at bureaucratic incompetence and gaffes from the parent company with occasional complaints about dykes and SJWs "ruining" what was never good. Not nearly enough time dedicated to inconsistent writing and spotting plagiarism than I would've liked.
 
Reboot RWBY and effectively make it a Magical Girl show. They're in highschool and they fight the Monster of The Week, Ruby still has her super special Sharingan that makes her the most magical Magical Girl but other than that it's a spectacle fighter series with three tiers of bad guys to fight and it lasts for like four seasons at most and it never expands beyond the city of Beacon. Basically just remake Teen Titans but with better fights and doujins.
