My Volume 9 pre-write fanfiction vid!: • RWBY Volume 9 Rewrite:...
Rwby has a lot of characters, obviously. but why is that considered such a problem for the show? Let's dive in and talk about it.
Btw, I've been re-watching Park's and rec lately.

The cast isn’t the problem. The writers not knowing what to DO with them, is.

@Jordan-gp3mj

I still can’t believe Velvet was a year older, had her team, yet NO ONE stood up for her during the bullying. Coco should’ve shut that shit down day 1

@dylans.1741

Fun Fact: Yang is the only one of the main characters to have ever said Watts's name. And she only ever did it once

@rexlumontad5644

Rooster Teeth has a bad habit of hiring expensive voice actors to be part of the cast so that people will watch if their favorite VAs are in their shows like RWBY, GenLock and Red Vs Blue.

@theshire9173

I can’t believe you didn’t mention the popular fan idea that Ozpin should have reincarnated into Jaune instead of Oscar. As much as Oscar is cute and nice, he really is unnecessary when we already have a nice guy who isn’t the best at combat

@eoinmcmahon3569

To be honest, I got into RWBY fanfiction purely to see more character interactions, so this hits the nail on the head

@selena44842

You know you have a writing problem when your supposed main characters can't even pass the lamp test

@eachthebabyperry6716

Random thought: Have Sun fight Yang and get severely injured instead Mercury. Now Yang has a bigger weight on her shoulders besides getting kicked out of the tournament. Blake's comment on why Yang reminds her of Adam could hit harder and force her to leave. Honestly, having a faunas get injured live and having various kingdoms react positively or negatively to it would be more interesting. Also, why didn't they have Cinder or anyone in their team just out Blake as a former White Fang member, that could do even more damage to Beacons reputation.

@YourLadyStar

From your end clips and analysis, I now want an AU where Penny, Velvet, Cardin, and Sun are a team. It sounds like it'd be the most chaotic fun escapades ever!

@Froggsroxx

A chronic issue of "oh this design is cool put it in the show" without actually doing characterization

@TheVillainousMrPuns

This show’s excess cast is like buying a set of a few nice plates and silverware and then proceeding to buy paper plates for every individual piece of food so you can avoid having to maintain the few good ones in the sink for a few more days.

@sonoci

Oh.... Penny, Velvet, Cardin, and Sun being a team is so smart??? like oh my god that immediately has such interesting dynamic ideas. Like how does Cardin feel being on a team with three people he likely looks down on? Who's the leader? Was Cardin a decent guy before he WASN'T made team leader in a team with 2 Faunus and an odd girl so he started taking it out on them? How would Sun stand up to Cardin bullying Velvet??

@notallthatevil

I remember growing up with digimon, a series with 16 main characters, but I knew how each and every single one of them interacted with eachother and why they were still in the story. I cared about those dorks.

@yung710

And with the Cardin being on a team with 2 faunus he'd clearly have a arc of overcoming his bias and probably becoming a better teammate and probably becoming a fuckin wall of a man who can protect his teammates (probably velvet) as a sort of flip on his initial interactions with her IT WRITES ITSELF IT WAS SO EASY

@localdude2979

Bro that team of Penny Cardin Velvet and Sun sounds unironically AMAZING. Like WHAT THE FU CK! ITS Fking LEGIT.

@Ani_Musician

It's kinda hilarious that at

@kingnias5318

anyone notice how whitley and winter are literally related and nvr once had a conversation and barely ever reference one another

@lumzalum8863

That team idea of Penny, Velvet, Sun & Cardin has me in a vice grip. That would actually be soo interesting. Like with two faunus on a team Cardin interaction would've been juicy and paired with Penny innocence/ inexperience would have made for some entertaining drama.

@calxiyn

I think about this every day, I’m glad someone put it into a concrete list of the issues. I have a couple rewrites to tackle “character bloat”, like the Ace Ops being Team FNKI or Robyn being WF. Team CFVY being Team SSSN etc. I never actually released any of them. This makes me want to revisit it because I feel like a lot of characters could be “merged” together. The Ace Ops especially make me really mad because I feel like we could have had Ciel + Team FNKI and then we get to see the “fun” team from Atlas become brainwashed with propaganda.
