This is the company that has strung out what was supposed to be a couple shorts in Halo into a 17+ season shitshow.
RWBY makes them way too much money to end now, especially since they seem to be floundering in most of their other ventures.

You also got to remember that this is the same company that is
- a shitty place to work for
- is owned by ATT, who's restructuring both DC and Warner Bros. right now.
- Have lost several employees, be it through ATT's resizing or sexual allegations.

Not only that, but this feels like the set up to an endgame thatll likely happen either this volume or the next. And they are not even trying to hie it, just trying to deny it, which isn't working.
 
I highly doubt we're that close to the end. If we were nearing the climax, Roosterteeth would be advertising the shit out of that fact.

I mean on the one hand, you're probably right considering they apparently wrote the thing to last about a day or two, and we haven't seen Salem target the rest of Remnant or anyone bring that detail up (at least not yet). On the other, this feels like it's the Endgame, we get appearances from characters who've been absent for entire volumes, the series is going on a month long hiatus only halfway through, and Rooster Teeth is notoriously shit when it comes to how they handle the advertising of their shows.

So really, who knows what's actually happening. Vol. 8 is definitely leading to something though, that much can't be denied. it's either that, or Miles, Kerry and the rest of the writing staff are complete shit when it comes to hoe things are paced.

Like the video said there really just isn't a lot to do anymore. Like OK, what comes next? They repeat the same "Get the maiden and the artifact before Salem" plot two more times? Riveting. And not really necessary. They already told everyone about them. They're fighting Salem head on and they've got to win narrativly or Ironwood is 200% right about everything forever. So they'll fight off the big bad at their full strength, win, and then not have any reason at all to get the other two artifacts since they can now just fight her off whenever she shows up. It could work as a plot if nobody showed up to help, they lost, and now Salem's massive army is going on to the next location and they have to race to beat her...but that would kinda kill their themes and there still shouldn't be that much resistance now that they explained everything. So you couldn't really get that much more content out of it.

Their goal is to beat Salem. Salem is here with a massive army. If they beat her they reached their one goal and don't really have anything else to do afterwords.

I mean unless they can figure out what the fuck they're doing in the back half of the series, then yeah. What I feel should have happened is have people question Ruby's motiviations after she says Ironwood can't be trusted, and have some drama come from that, forcing a bigger divide between not only the group, but also remnant as a whole as they fight over what to do, thus making things worse, then have Salem destroying both cities with the heroes having lost completely (including a death of one of theirs- Nora most likely), Ironwood in the right (even if he dies), and Ruby outed as both a hypocrite and forced into a solo isolation because not even her friends or her own father can trust her any more, leading into Vol. 9.

But that won't happen, because unless they find a way out of it, they've written themselves into a corner. Like I said, this feels like the endgame, and I wouldn't be surprised if they've been lying about a Vol. 10 and beyond. It doesn't help that they're constnatly portraying Ironwood and Ace-Ops as being in the wrong, regardless what they, or their dicksuckers on Reddit or TV Tropes say.

Well they're trying to portray them as being in the wrong. He's totally done nothing wrong. He's basically the only one with well thought out and explained goals and logic.

>Oh no he has heightened military presences and its making everyone nervous!

"Oh that. I'm planning on telling everyone about Salem which will summon hordes of monsters, so the military is there deal with that."

>Oh no he has blocked the borders and done a dust embargo!

"Oh that. I need to keep knowledge of Salem regional, so we can send our military to help deal with the hordes of monsters that will appear at every place we tell about this. With all that extra dust we arn't exporting we should be able to build up our military and quicken the pace of the project (actually I don't think the writers considered that since they had them apparently not produce dust and for some reason built it over a mine instead of just having the government buy up the dust. Its kind of dumb.)

On the other hand:
>Random citizens riot despite living in a world where riots cause hordes of monsters to appear (You would think that they would develop some less emotional politics but that'd require world building)
>Protagonist decide to betray Ironwood to a random robber/politician just because she's popular with the rioting idiots above and they like her propaganda, despite not trusting Ironwood who has given them every reason to trust him (Including going through great effort to give one of the traitors their arm).
>Said robber/politician immediately proves to be an information risk by leaking to her subordinates and the man who really, really doesn't want the information to get out.

Its kind of like they decided that Ironwood is going to be morally grey so they have to work on his motivation to make sure they're logical and make sense, but then decide they didn't need to do the same thing for everyone else because they're supposed to be good. Then decided they'd make up the difference by having everyone say he's wrong.

Wait, there's a hiatus coming?

But they're just halfway through the show. Why do they even need it at this point?

I think part of it's due to the holidays, and remember that they claimed to only have half of the show finished by the first episode's airing. I get the feeling they're doing this hiatus so they can finish off the back half then continue from where they left off.

NGL, I'm fucking sad about this. Not cause I like the show or anything. But because the 2 shows I use after watching RWBY episode to gulp down the bullshittery will have season finales earlier. Those shows are like a hard drink to swallow down the bullshit.

I hope a better show comes around by the time.

Here’s my thing: I don’t see how this would help the story or the narrative. If anything, it feels like a way to pretend they addressed the criticism in one go (like Ren’s rant at Yang and having Oscar be tortured and Hazel beating him up) and just have the heroes get shitstomped, which seems to be the only way the heroes seem to lose, and leads to Ruby having to retreat, mope around and lick her wounds, which some said was the worst part of V4. Not to mention, that level of Salem wrecking shit would destroy the show and make her Madara.
