It's basically Fridge Logic where it makes more sense at the fridge, rather than less. Using it for simple things basically just highlight how slow-witted or distracted the editor is. Or they want to try to look clever by pointing out something not everyone may have gotten.

Only the first one seems to fit. Maybe the Crescent Rose one, but we don't really know if that's how Crescent Rose got its name so it's more of a WMG. The "simple soul" one also seems more WMG than Fridge Brilliance.

The others don't seem like something that should take you a trip to the fridge to figure out.

[up]Not all people are the same. Things which may seem obvious to some people may not be to others. (I didn't realize that Roman legged it because the dust crystal was lost until I read the post last page).

Also, this is the header on all the Fridge Brilliance sub-categories (the bolding is mine):

A reminder of the rules of Fridge Brilliance:

This is a personal moment for the viewer, so every example is signed by the contributor. If you start off with "This Troper", really, you have no excuse. We're going to hit you on the head.

This revelation can come from anywhere, even from this very page.

Also, this page is of a generally positive nature, and a Fridge Brilliance does not have to be Word Of God. In fact, it usually isn't, and the viewer might be putting more thought into it than the creator ever did. This is not a place for personal commentary on another's remark or arguing without adding a Fridge Brilliance comment of your own.

Minor quibble: A while ago we agreed Fridge entries don't need to be signed, since it encourages natter and so on. Guess I should remove that part.

So Volume 2 has been announced to be premiering at RTX this summer. Also, no more short episodes; each chapter (of 12) will be 12 minutes long. There's also gonna be break weeks during the airing that will have story stuff to make up for it.

It's weird because everyone around me is super excited and I'm just... Not feeling it. Premiering at RTX was sort of a no-brainer and I binged the show so I don't properly appreciate the now confirmed longer episodes. Really, I'm just tired and in a rotten mood so even if they had a sick Team JNPR trailer, I'd probably still be super grumpy about something.

Technically they've also announced that there's going to be video journals between now and then (and they'll be revealing Velvet's design in them). That'll do me fine.

Sunt res, right?

So I've heard team RWBY described as a Four-Temperament Ensemble, and their colors match up perfectly with the traditional western humors, but I have to wonder whether that was intentional or not, given that, excluding maybe Blake, their personalities don't match up particularly well with their colors' significance in that arrangement.

Weiss in particular has a personality that more or less perfectly matches the choleric temperament, which is precisely the opposite of the one associated with the color white (phlegmatic).

[up]The trope page appears to have an entry for it, which seems to have been discussed on WMG page.

Remember that tropes don't have to be deliberate, they're just patterns that tend to appear.

[up] Given that the trailers seemed to portray the characters (besides Ruby) almost perfectly in line with the temperament scheme, I'm actually of the opinion that they may have deliberately messed around the Four Temperment Ensemble trope by changing the colors around; ignoring the colors, team RWBY fits quite well; Yang is Sanguine, Ruby Phlegmatic, Blake Melancholic, and Weiss Choleric.

It's not like this is an idea that originated with tvtropes either, Four Temperment Ensemble is easily Older Than Feudalism.

Four-Temperament Ensemble is easily the most humorous trope ever.

[up] The pun, it burns! (note that it'd be humoral rather than humorous when referring to the classical humors, IIRC)

I'm asking about this because I'm thinking of changing the entry for Four-Temperament Ensemble on RWBY's trope page a bit, given that the one there seems to be based mainly off of the trailers and the first episode.

Reading the Temperament page it seems to me as though there's a decent amount of overlap between Ruby and Yang and the Sanguine and Choleric ones.
