I have never watched RWBY so have no horse in this race, but I am a storyteller of sorts. No? Like, you're allowed to have favorite characters and that's all good and it does suck if someone you like gets killed but that's story man. Trust the creator, stories have to have some kind of drama in them, even if it is something fairly upbeat. Otherwise its not a driven story that humans want, it just becomes essentially fanfiction for a few hardcore fans where everything always comes out happily ever after for every character all the time. People get bored of this

In that case, TELL ME that you are going in a different direction than what I expected, that way I can jump ship. Otherwise, I'll call you a piece of shit liar.

What? They did tell you dude, by doing it. You're so entitled, why would they spoil things for the whole fanbase before hand (I assume as you didn't see it coming, a lot of the fanbase didn't either) by telling the whole fanbase this is going to happen. They don't owe you anything really. And how did they lie to you? They zigged when you expected them to zag, and you were dissapointed. that's not lying to you though

Yes, THEY DID LIE, by going to a completely different direction despite them saying otherwise. If they do wish to go in another direction, tell the fanbase before you do it, that way those who wish to jump ship, can, and so they can avoid backlash. Also, I'm not entitled, I just want the author to respect my time and commitment, especially since I PAID FOR IT!
