Why was Ruby such a sperglord?

If you go back to season 1, and even up till like the start of Season 3 Ruby was a complete and utter sperglord.

Like when she got pulled in for questioning by Glynda and Ruby just reveals her powerlevel talking about how much she loves fighting and how much she wants to go to Beacon.

Or when she sees all the students at Beacon and is like "Omg look at all the weapons"

Like holy shit how can she be this autistic. Everyone has fucking weapons in this world, it's not like your scythe is the only one. (Admittedly a cool one) But still it doesn't seem to make sense.


Or when she's walking along Jaune for the first time, who is a little autistic himself and she just whips out her scythe and is just like,

"Well I don't have anything to talk about so here's my fucking scythe dawg isn't it cool?"

It was completely out of nowhere, and it baffles me how Ruby could be this socially retarded.

Because she pretty much only has that and the fact that she's cute going for her.

Her personality tends to swing between autistic and non-existent, and it's not until season 4 that she even gets any real lines that show a side beyond the autism. Did you know that if she didn't have that extended monologue at the end, most side characters would have more dialogue than she does?

She's just not a particularly interesting character, even by RWBY standards where most of the cast is fairly vaporous. At least the other three have a tangible backstory and character arc. Hell, Juane probably has the most development. Even Nora has a less nebulous arc, and she's basically just an extra who was liked enough to gain protagonist status.

Don't get me wrong. I think RWBY shoots itself in the foot accurately and often, and I could level a lot of criticism at it, but I just don't have the heart to do that most of the time because it's a quirky auteur project that clearly has a lot of love put into it by people who basically have no idea what they're doing, but when the major figurehead of your entire franchise is one of the least interesting characters, there's a problem.

She didn't stop being a sperglord she just stops talking.

Volume 4 before her monologue all she does is make fun of Jaune and question why her uncle didn't tell a sixteen year old about a secret organization.

This point is accurate.

Yes.

Ruby is kinda interesting, she at least isn't boring. I don't think any of the characters so far have been boring.

I'm obsessed with Rwby. It's a strange addiction and I don't want to stop.
>>
Tell me about Jaune's sword.
Why did it throw shoot some wind when he swung it?
>>
>>90119419
She's the first member of the Illuminozi we meet, and then proceeds to have the least relevance to the plot.

Like, she doesn't even have any development like Ozpin, Qrow, and Ironwood do. She just gets left in the dust as Beacon's janitor when we reach Volume 4.

No, she's not interesting at all anon, you're lying to yourself.

In terms of depth:screentime, she's one of the lowest rated characters. Neptune has more personality than she does.
>>
>>90129610
The entire season was filler. It was literally just an excuse to move the scenery around and provide a little time to have the side-story character development sections that Weiss, Blake and Yang got.

Ruby and Co. effectively got put on a boat for the entire thing and they had to be included for audience reasons, but it was clear that everything they did was token filler.

There's a lot wrong with that, but if I'm correct then hopefully S5 will be better. If it's not, rip the entire franchise.
>>
>>90120730
definetly NOT blake, because she's the worst female character, so nora or pyrrha
>>
>>90130183
Weiss, Yang and Blake's story arcs were all awful though. The only memorable parts of the season were Ren and Nora backstory and development.
>>
>>90130382
I'm just explaining it, I never said it was actually good.

The animation is getting better but the writing is a lot worse, I'm hoping they can salvage it.
>>
>>90130382
Weiss' story in particular was fucking egregious

That should been one episode and ended with her summoning the knight
>>
>>90130717
>Okay she's gonna break out now right
>Nope
>She's gonna break out NOW, right?
>No
>...Now?
>Sure, but also fuck you, season over

Yep.

The entire season was stretched super-thin. Very little actually happened, and it just fucking finished after the potentially interesting resolutory stuff had been set up in the most tortured fashion possible. It's like 'Okay, here's where things get inter- Whoops, guess we're out of episodes!'

And then they have Ruby deliver a pointless monologue about nothing in particular after a pointless season of nothing in particular, just to give her enough lines that she still qualifies as the protagonist. Nice one.
>>
Weiss' storyline basically did one thing for me, and one thing alone.

It solidified the theory that 3 volumes will equal 1 arc now, with each arc revolving around a school/Kingdom. The fact that Miles and Kerry refused to even show a hint of the city of Atlas is proof of this.

1-3 was Beacon. 4-6 will be Haven. 7-9 will be Atlas. 10-12 will be Shade. Monty did say he had about 9-10 volumes actually planned anyway

Ironwood's gun-gun apparently isn't a gun-gun. According to Kerry, we haven't seen what the second trigger does yet. I'm betting it's probably a gun-sword somehow.

Weiss did not "break" out. She just walked through a conveniently well placed in the library. She could have escaped any time she wanted. But you're right that volume 4 showed that the episodes are too few too short to tell so many plots at different locations.

Ruby felt like a secondary character in her own arc! For most of the time she acted and talked as if the ending of volume 3 never happened. It was only right at the end that we got a little bit of insight to how she feels.

Blake acted like a hypocrite. It turned out she is not a poor orphan who is the victim of racism. She grew up a in big house with wealthy parents and joined the White Fang because she was influenced by her parents.

Weiss' arc was way too predictable. They really shoved into our faces that we're supposed to hate her father. He is too one-sided with no redeeming qualities at all. Whitley's first scene really suggested that he was a false shit who kisses his father's ass. He showed his true self after just 5 minutes of screentime. And we didn't even get to meet Weiss' mother.

Yang got the least screentime and was rushed as fuck. She's depressed and has PTSD. She gets her new arm. Puts it on. Goes back to training. No longer depressed. No more PTSD. Leaves. Fucking piss poor writing.

You know the writers have messed up when fans thought Ren and Nora's arc was the best part in volume 4. Volume 4 was just messy. A fucking filler.
