>>1234948041:Keep Team RWBY separated for a bit longer. Have each of them go through at least another season or two before actually meeting up again.
2:Keep Adam and the white fang going for just a bit longer. Have Adam meet his end by Blake's hand alone when she rescues Weiss from him
3:Make the majority of Yang's solo arc focused on dealing with her mom. Raven can still be a cunt, but mainly Yang grows without obnoxious bumblebee pandering
4:Ironwood becomes a paranoid wreck, but not to the point of stupid. He flips the fuck out for a moment before Winter stops him and relieves him of command so he may rest before coming back to redeem himself.
5:Penny doesn't get brought back just to die again.
6:Roman doesn't die
7:No Salem. Cinder is the main villain for all of it. She inherits Salem's backstory and everything and the rest of Salem's court (IE: Tyrion, Hazel, etc) are just arc villains backed by Emerald or Mercury into getting what they want.
8:No maiden powers. It's a stupid thing that puts a monkey wrench into the story and essentially reduces it into a scavenger hunt.
