>>143518RWBY wants to be the lovechild of Naruto, Soul Eater, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. That's what Monty wanted it to be.
The tards he hired to write it? They want it to be "An Epic", a big story with magic wizards giving powers to people and creating Maidens and whatnot.
Nobody involved has any talent, unfortunately. Not even Monty, who only rips off old movies using Gmod or SFM or whatever the fuck he used for dead fantasy. When the conductor died, the trainwreck got worse. Tournament arcs were attempted and fucked up. Character depth was attempted and fucked up.
The soyboys who wrote this gave pointless extra scenes to characters voiced by their girlfriends at the expense of worldbuilding worth a damn and multiple characters also worth a damn. Jaune's aura was never unlocked despite living with other warriors because potatoes, Jaune was able to fake his way into Beacon without aura because potatoes, and Jaune is asking for exposition dumps when he lives in this world and should be giving them out to someone like Ruby on command because potatoes.
These soyboys also think "Anime is a genre", which is like thinking "Animation is a genre" and trying to create the offspring of Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, Simpsons, and Family Guy. You're left with a shit attempt at copying everything on the shallowest surface level. You get a show with bootleg homer simpson, bootleg shaggy and scooby, bootleg bart, and so on. Like how RWBY has bootleg Aang, bootleg "any soondere ever", Barbara "Funniest woman alive who certainly wasn't hired for diversity or titties" Lastname only as a character, bootleg Princess Yue, and bootleg Sokka. And the Maidens crap, which is bootleg Avatar but the chosen one status can be chosen because reasons.
Nothing in this lazy massively-profitable show was thought out, because it's trying to be charmingly shit while trying to trick you into thinking it's amazingly written. It wants to trick you into thinking you're watching that generic shonen anime you dreamed of making when you were ten, and you're somehow doing the west and anime industry a favor by buying into this shit.
This whole show is a lazy jew ploy to sell the anime fandom's "Favourite" cliches back to it, along with toys, cologne, and tiny models of said cliches personified. Its one redeeming quality, "Good fight scenes", left when Monty died and every fight became storyboarded mindless reaction-shot-infested jewshit.
