At RTX they hilariously tried to defend Pyrrha’s death.

It was Monty’s idea so you can’t hate it! Uh, yes I can. If he was alive I’d tell him to his face “You fucked up.”

He was inspired by Game of Thrones! Yeah, and that show is constantly mocked for killing off characters for no reason other than George R.R. Martin’s murder boner.

It was a Pyhrric Victory! … Do you not know what words mean? A Pyrrhic victory means they won but at great cost and they won two things: Jack and Shit, and Jack left town.

Oh my god, they’re seriously just stuffing their fingers in their ears and ignoring the criticism, I have lost so much respect for them



This is just sad. They killed off a great character for no reason other than “DARK AND EDGY!”

Fanfiction is better than the real show now.

Now look, I am going to make this absolutley clear: I do not mind the death of a character when it is done well: My favorite episode of Transformers Beast Wars is the one where my favorite character dies. I loved Newt in Aliens and I was okay with her getting killed off in the opening of Alien 3, and most people hate that movie for that alone, but Pyrrha’s death was like a broken pencil: pointless.

It was forced, contrived, mean spirited, a total middle finger to the fans, and needlessly cruel. I have already decided not to watch RWBY anymore, and this blatant disrespect for a beloved character and the fans has just enforced it.

They say it was planned for her to die. So what? Joker, the most iconic and beloved villain in all of comic books, was supposed to die after one issue, but was brought back because the creator’s realized it was a mistake it kill him off. Ron Weasley was supposed to die in PoA or GoF but J.K. Rowling canned the idea because she knew there’d be a huge backlash. Wish Rooster Teeth had that kind of… what do you call it? Oh yeah, common sense.

Say what you will about George Lucas but when the fans made it clear that they considered Darth Maul’s death a mistake he listened and brought the character back to great success.

RoosterTeeth’s just ignoring the criticism and counting the money.
