From what I understand this is what they where going for:

1. Remove all Penny's robot parts, use robot parts to build a second robot.
2. Penny is now Penny-Robot parts, which means she is human for some reason
3. The thing the Genie made was the second penny, so second Penny got snapped.

Like if you asked "Make me a new cup using the parts for this cup of orange juice but don't use the orange juice" the Genie would make a second cup that would go away once a new thing was made but the orange juice would just be released from the cup and spill on the ground without fading.

I can't think of a not-dumb way to put it because this is incredibly dumb, not foreshadowed at all, doesn't fit in with what little existing lore there is, and is explained poorly and in a rush. But that is my take on what they're trying to do.

Wait, I only now get what you were trying to explain.

That's fucking stupid! They have the same face! Where did the second face even come from then? The Genie didn't make skin, so how does old Penny suddenly have skin?

Presumably her soul or something? Like I said its dumb, contradicts established lore, and is poorly explained.
 
Shame, Penny was my favorite character. I hate it when people take an unconventional character like a robot or some other weird thing and "fix" it by making it a human or "normal". It completely ruins the character and sends the message that it's somehow wrong to not be like literally everyone else. Which is strange coming from a super woke and diverse company like RoosterTeeth.

Also do people really watch this show hoping for it to get better? It's a sentiment I see pop up from time to time. Because as it stands, all this shit seems unrecoverable and I don't understand how a volume can be "good" if every preceding one sucked. It's like watching the third Star Wars sequel expecting JJ Abrams to magically undo TLJ.

Some did, but a lot just stick around for completionism despite knowing that it's shit from here on because sunk cost fallacy. Others want to see what else the show could do as a runaway train. And then you got those who want to see the next gas can poured onto the dumpster fire.

It’s honestly bizarre, with characters like that the arc to do is almost ALWAYS them (or everyone else) realizing that a human body isn’t a prerequisite for humanity or personhood. It’s not like there aren’t a TON of examples of this in prior work.

What is with the FNDM and just rubbing it in whenever the critics are proven “wrong”. Like I’ve seen people be like, “See, Ruby isn’t the messiah her sister just criticized her”. Yeah, but she’s never...

The state of the criticism. Bloody Hell.

Not that I’m defending the show or anything, since I dropped out after the 5th season, but were people surprised that the Pinocchio expy character ended up becoming human? Once they brought her back, I kinda figured that was eventually a givin.

I think it’s the way it was done. FDA8CF47-9CB1-4075-9658-C539CE8B3342.jpeg 582172B2-3CDC-4371-9ADB-F317D545850C.png

That’s the issue people have with it.

IKR, this shit always annoys me in some series, with RWBY being one of them now too. Humans are usually boring in multi-racial worlds & Humanization is cliche & boring. Not to include, Robo & Monster girls are always better than normal girls. Even RWBY knows this much considering in the opening times of RWBY, people fawned over Faunus so much with fanart & all.

That's RWBY's biggest problem. Hack writers don't know how to write, plan out, or build-up to the more important moments. It's always "hey look here's what we doing, bam look here's how it's done, don't question us" at times then sometimes it's just "yeah we didn't write it, whatever it's a cartoon."

I'd say someone could write it better but then this thread would just be filled with people trying to stroke their writer's dick. We're not Tumblr here.
