>>125204723>but I think the budget for the crazy fight action was too steep and the writing task of making these fights work in the canon was too difficult for them.>>125189465One of the best videos I have seen when it comes to analyzing what failed with RWBY is about the POV problem. The POV is all over the place. The big cast of characters isn't the real issue, rather that the writers for some reason haven't figured out that they need to stick with a low amount of POVs to tell the story.
For example, Ruby never found out about Adam and Watts's existences, nor Ironwood, Jacques, Clover, and Hazel's deaths. Ruby wasn't the one that defeated the whale, nor witnessed Penny's death. She also didn't contribute much to V4 and V5's climax fights. And she's the main character.
Combine this with budget problems and pandemic issues, and you get Ruby drinking tea in the Schnee manor instead of going inside of the whale to fight its heart, a Grimm army, and meet Salem.
The writers also have bad taste when picking what they don't want to get shafted or relegated to books and other pieces of media. They leave interesting stuff for the books instead of putting those in the actual show, sometimes because of WOKEness or their political agenda.
Just ask yourself, what would you rather see in the actual series. Velvet and her team fighting Semblance powered terrorists in Vacuo and Roman/Neo's backstory? Or team RWBY being stuck in a house for most of V5, a lesbian couple's house in San Francisco for half of V6, or an allegory of Trump vs. Hilary/bots election subplot in V7?
