...do you think they realize that those aren't positive traits on Qrow, and its still fair to criticize him for that?

And is criticized in the story itself when it's pointed out that, yeah, Qrow's attitude is a problem and he's scolded for it in a balanced presentation of both side's flaws, even if he drunken state is played for laughs. Robyn, on the other hand, is given no such treatment.

I don't think Robyn being a dude would change anything. The biggest flaw with her writing is the show-not-tell thing, everyone acts like she is a woman of the people who's a good person and will do good things but we don't see her do anything other than rob a government convoy that we know was trying to do legitimately good things. Everyone in story likes and supports her but we have no clue why. She doesn't even have any actual policies. She isn't particularly "cool" with no actual fight scenes, she's really dumb since she leaked the fact she got leaked to to Ironwood, her backstory is dumb and forgettable, and her only beneficial action was well after everyone already treated her like she was the good guy.

So exactly like Hilary Clinton, the person they totally didn't model her after.

If anything I am impressed they managed to write Hill-dog so accurately.
 
We still talking Robyn Hill? EEE31171-AE0C-4345-B5DB-EF08C92DFA74.png

I wonder if the story would be different if Clinton won in the first place. Would Ironwood still be made a villain by the writers to teach the audience how bad the government is when the Democrats aren't in charge?

Probably, have Ironwood try to steal the election and trick the teens into doing it for him.

I'm willing to bet they would have completely avoided any political analogs. Then again, there's few things worse than a sore winner and we all saw how they handled losing.
 
Our Heroes: "We're going to risk dropping Atlas on Mantle and kill both cities just to save one girl."

I'm at least satisfied with the fact that it took everybody at once to beat Ironwood.
 
Is there any particularly good reason Ruby decided to shepherd the entire population of a kingdom, soon to be homeless refugees, into VACUO of all places? A kingdom known for being both a lawless desert of vagabonds, but also the site of one of the last two remaining Relics left to obtain?

You're not getting these people out of harm's way Ruby, you're putting them directly in Salem's line of fire. Or was Vacuo chosen just so that the writers could quickly get the protagonists where they needed to be?

I'm assuming that Ruby's been told offscreen that Tyrian and Merc are in Vaccuo and Ruby was too lazy to get any other transport there.

Let's not forget that Cinder, and possibly both Watts and Neo, are among the crowds too.

Team RWBY truly are idiots., not just Ruby herself. Remember, this also falls largely onto both Weiss and Yang for telling the guardian to carry this out.

Also, with this plan: How are they making sure they have everybody inside the portals? The portals didn't appear in front of everybody in both cities, just the locations Ruby has a reference for. What if some people didn't go in? Or weren't in a position to get to the portals? I mean, this wouldn't be such a big question if the foundation of them going against Ironwood is not accepting leaving anybody behind when they don't have the means to save everybody.

Including that traitor Winter :(. I'm still not sure why they think this plan was better than the one that actually stops Salem.

Of course Ass Ops got beat in two seconds by one dude. Honestly the main remaining threat getting taken out in two minutes wasn't exactly a dramatic end.

Lets also not forget Ironwood mentioned that problem earlier in the season. Because he still isn't stupid.

Juan was supposed to use the communication devices to tell everyone about it. Since even the poor and super duper oppressed furries all have smart phone equivalents in their pockets. It didn't work but they at least thought of it.

Let's be honest, if Clinton won, they'd make Ironwood a villain, but make it so it's "this is what happens when the Democrats are in charge because they didn't solve anything!"
