Thoughs, opinions and discussions on the eponymous show by Roosterteeth go here.
For me, I think that RWBY is suffering because Roosterteeth should have planned the story out more and that they're dividing what few resources they have among too many projects*. As right now, it feels like RT wants to do an epic fantasy saga, but doesn't have the time or skill to pull it off.
*For example, do we really need RWBY Chibi? Or the 100th season of Red vs Blue? Not to say they're bad shows, but when it comes to allocating your resources you've got to pick and choose.
Personally, I would have dropped the Relics plotline. I also would have dropped the idea of Ozpin reincarnating and being the wizard, giving more ambiguity to the origin of the Maidens and the creation myths of Remnant and the Grimm. Perhaps Cinder would want to capture Ozpin for the mystical knowledge and secrets he has. Also would have dropped Salem as well; would have kept the idea of Cinder working for someone, but not some Dark Queen Of the Grimm. As I feel giving the Grimm a human face was a mistake. Speaking of the Grimm- have them be more of a threat. Remember in Volume 1, how the heroes need to work to defeat elder Grimm like the nevermore? Let's have a bit more of that.
Another major point would be to focused more on Team RWBY from the start with JNPR being more in the background. I might have killed of Jaune instead of Pyrrha in Volume 3, as Pyrrha was obviously being set up to die and his death would have carried more weight.
That and either done more with showing the whole Faunus racism plot point or scrapped it entirely. Because as of right now, it's not really connected to the main plot outside of Blake and giving our heroes goons in the form of the White Fang to punch, which could easily be replaced with mercenaries or thugs. Plus the fact that we see so little of what's being set up as a major problem just makes the Faunus come across as crazy or a bunch of delusional whiners who don't know how good they have it.
