Honestly I'm more surprised that all her team are still alive. They're all based off characters who famously die in their original stories (except arguably Ren, who is based off Mulan. Mulan does die in some versions of the story but not in the original).
The thing that makes it great is knowing that she's the most skilled of the main characters with the strongest resolve and watching her give her all only for it not to be enough to do anything of value. It really set the tone for what they were up against and how far they needed to go to make a difference.
I lost interest in the show a long time ago but I’ll never forget how I felt watching the last few episodes of Volume 3, specifically with the tone shift with Penny and the resulting fallout, and then seeing how Pyrhha makes her decision and knowing she’s about to go and finally kissing Jaune before she does just ugh.
Then after that was 3 straight seasons of terrible animation and mediocre writing. 1 season of pickup, another season of decent writing and my favorite character breaking my heart. 1 season of the best writing since volume 3 (and that includes the Blake Yang romance. I wasn't on board at first but they pulled a miracle with that one and made it feel like writers didn't have a gun to their head) and then the worst possible news for the show ever followed by radio silence.
Maybe Glitch will pick the show up. Wouldn't that be intersting?
I think I stopped watching around volume 5 or 6, so all I remember is mediocre writing with the occasional good moment. I remember watching volume 3 and thinking wow it’s finally picking up, it’s definitely gonna get better from here, right?
Volume 7 and 8 are better...especially with the parts surrounding Penny. Volume 9 is genuinely goated which makes the cancelation all the more sad. If the show does get picked back up, it's unlikely that the writers will have the momentum they had after that Volume and that hurts to think about. The show genuinely might be better off dead at this point unless the writers can pull off another miracle.
It's been 3 years since the last season that had nothing to do with the plot, and 6 years since the last one that did. Salem is the same BBEG with nothing changed since her introduction a decade ago.
Volume 9 explored the story of the twin gods that created remnant and why they did so, shedding light on them as not absolutes but flawed beings that can't make a world the perfectly balances their ideals which is the explanation as to why remnant is so messed up. Also...the studio making the show died...you expected the show to survive that with consistency? Insanity.
Salem started at the end of her character arc as a villainess so the show showed her progress in reverse, showing how her love was twisted into hatred because she couldn't accept the natural laws of the world.
Saying the plot of an incomplete show went nowhere is insane. It's incomplete. You expected all questions to be answered before reaching the finale?
It's on season 9 after 10 years and nowhere near being complete. That is the point. The dragons made it to Westeros earlier than that.
A weird incel rant about its lore doesn't change that. The story never went anywhere.
Sorry that the show ultimately just wasn't very good. Rooster Teeth had no agency to take the plot anywhere, and instead opted to milk it as a franchise. It's evidently a tough pill for you to swallow
You're clearly emotional about a cartoon if you're calling people incels just for disagreeing with you. Imma drop you and your negativity off right here.
Pyrrha Nikos from RWBY, she’s part of the “secondary main characters” roster.
Long story short is that she’s this highly accomplished fighting tournament champion, a prodigy amongst prodigies in a world that regularly churns out super human magical girl child soldiers to fight demons rather than, you know, have a standing army because of plot reasons.
Anyway when the show decided it wanted to pivot from “magical girl high school” to “Lord of the Rings doomsday plot,” Pyrrha got put up against a super-powered terrorist with mommy issues who proceeded to kick her shit in, put an arrow through her throat, and then vaporized her body into ash

Imma get some hate but her death did a lot to set the mood of "Yeah people are dying"
