Rooster Teeth immediately after Monty's unfortunate passing. Starting taking DEI or DIE money and it showed. Suddenly Yang and Blake like each other. I seriously don't think Monty would've wanted that.
Always felt the Bumblebee relationship was forced. It went from lighthearted shipping to a very forced and shallow relationship to appease the proshippers and the LGBT+ community.

Lastly as big fan of Monty's RWBY. I can't help but think how spoiled all the people who talked bad about the first 3 seasons animation. Yall literally couldn't do better. Also as a 80s baby who grew up on Reboot and Transformers:BeastWars. Y'all really don't know what you're talking about. The animation was Great. It was really good for the time. For the few people that were involved. For what was put out, with such limited experience. It was Impressive. YouTube itself wouldn't have been able to handle 1080 p Animation back then. We were all just starting to adapt to seeing shows and videos in 240, 480 resolution. The show didn't need to be 4k. It just needed a solid enough story. Decent voice acting and music. And bad ass fight scenes the likes which no one has seen, outside of a few live action movies and Anime.
I challenge the people who love to trash the animation of RWBY. To:
1 Create an animation in any format and post it online. Then get a taste of your own criticism.
2 Watch cell shaded/cgi Anime or Cartoons from any time prior to 2004. Examples:Code Lyoko, Beast Wars: Reboot, The New Adventures of Johnny Quest, Zoids, Blue Submarine etc.
The whole "you can't criticize something unless you can do better" does not always apply. There's a threshold. You don't need to be a chef to know that a chef burnt your steak, or that the steak tastes awful. And you don't need to be an animator to say that RWBY seasons 1-3 look absolutely terrible. Several solo fan animators have already surpassed the animation of RWBY seasons 1-3, so the challenge wouldn't even be that hard to accomplish.
I don't give it much flack since it was a small indie project made way back in 2013, but there's no denying that the godawful animation for those seasons makes it difficult to watch. Season 3 wasn't even animated by Mounty so that season doesn't even have good fight scenes to look forward to.
I think RWBY season 5 and beyond looks pretty good.
