Is there a generally agreed upon season where the show gets "bad"? I'll be getting into RWBY with a friend soon for various reasons and I'd like to see if I can spot the moment it happens.

Talked to some buddies, and the idea seems to be that V5 was the point where things went to shit, and the Battle of Haven was the point where the fate of the show was sealed: it'll always be shit. One even said the Battle of Haven was RWBY's Sonic 06: some parts may be worse, sometimes, the way will be lost, but there will always be THE LOWEST POINT.

What they seem to forget is that the first two volumes weren't that good either. All the problems most people have with the later volumes were pretty much being laid down in the first two, the writing, the animation, the inconsistent power levels, and the voice acting were already issues pretty much from the first episode. Now everything's bad in slightly different ways -- animation's janky because they over-rely on mo-cap or poorly timed keyframes, power levels are to the point where Salem should just be wiped out completely, more professional-grade VAs from LA and Texas keep popping in to do voices, showing just how mediocre to awful the in-house cast are (though the direction of the pros isn't much better, if not worse in some cases) and the writing is so broken that everyone's making attempts to rewrite the fucking thing.

Funny, people say the Beacon arc was the high point because of the things like "charm", "potential", "likeable characters", "humor", "good action", "Monty's passion", and "the stuff after it is so much fucking worse"

It might be the high point compared to everything else, but my perspective is as someone who had no attachment to the IP and didn’t know about everything that happened with Monty. I feel like this show has nothing to offer if you didn’t “grow up” with it.

Volume 1 and 2 might be the best RWBY has to offer, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually any good.

I'd really like to see where they got "Half of Rewrites wants to make JAUNE the protagonist and give him a harem" from, outside of smutty fanfics.

I dunno about a harem, but making Jahn the main character seems to be a pretty common idea thanks to him (and the rest of his team to some degree) having much more interesting base character traits than the empty shell cute girl main team.

Simply because any time the main girls start hinting at having something interesting going on (I'm still pissed they fucking ruined a potentially great Yang PTSD arc, fuckers), it gets dropped or resolved at the speed of light.

For me and my friend, it was volume 4. However, we side with volume 3 being the decline especially because of certain things happening at the end. We stuck around for volume 4 specifically for 2-3 characters but then by the half way we were like fuck this shit. But yea the season 3-4 transition is where it really popped off and shat the bed.

Nobody. Everyone makes it through then they just throw the staff down into the never ending void winning forever.

Because they're all logical thinkers who wouldn't do something dumb just so the plot could move forward.

Obvious answer, but I'd have to say around Volume 5. That was where the show was at its most monotonous and the main characters were barely even there. It had some good moments, like Yang's interactions with Raven, and the fight between Blake and Ilia, but it was overall mediocre. Volume 6 was a step up, but it kind of faltered halfway through, and then Volumes 7 and 8 is where everything went to hell.

Well if 4chan is to be taken into consideration Yang does at least. They're even claiming she's dead, which if Lindsey's words about her character learning for the first time she can't save everyone is true, may very well be the case.
 
I genuinely want Yang to be dead. Please, for the love of God, let our main protagonists face serious and permanent consequences for their actions and be at risk instead of drinking tea and doing nothing while others put their lives on the line.

Given what happed when Weiss was impaled by Cinder, I don't think the writers are ballsy enough to actually go through with it.
 
Ruby has super speed and can basically fly
Weiss can create platforms out of thin air

What do they do with those abilities? Nothing, they just stood there and watched Yang fall

Only one who tried to do anything was Blake, but it was a delayed reaction at best.

You never know, the writers are saying this is effectively "The Fall of Beacon 2.0", Od of Yang dying is 50/50 at this point. Though if the intro is any indication, the rest of them will likely follow.

These are the same writers that became yuri-fags out of nowhere just to pander to the retards in FNDM. They do not have the balls to do it, until Barbara stops it herself.

The death-threats alone will make them never commit to it, even if they did have the balls for it.
