Stuffed into the Fridge is when a villain kills off a character in a horrible fashion to cause angst in the hero and goad them into action. That description does not fit what happened to Pyrra. By your definition Obi Wan Kenobi was stuffed into the fridge.

It was not. Not only was Peter Parker effected for the long term, but it also was the catalyst for Mary Jane to develop, and led to the rise of the major villain the Jackal. Being stuffed into the fridge must be cheap and short term.

Also, someone added it Pyhrra's death to the Stuffed in the Fridge page. Can someone please remove it?

Because some people don't know how to do these things right.

Also, going by the page history, Some New Guy was the one who added it in.

I don't even want her back so much as fear so long as she's dead the show will never have the laughs and humor it once had and that's bad because I don't think they can maintain the story through edge and seriousness alone for the decade plus they claim they're planning on running it without it falling apart. That every time they start to have humorous scenes like the dance or food fight it will abruptly end when they remember Pyhra isn't there.

I also think it was way too early to kill off a major character. When we barely knew anything about her and she was just starting to show the full potential of her power in what turned out to be her last fight.

I mean if this was season 10 and the show was wrapping up in a season or two, then yeah it was a great way to end her story and would have brought the seriousness for the finale as a finale should, at which point the show would be over. But it's not. It's season 3 of 12+

[up] That what i feel. Pyrrha's death felt like a waste not because she was "stuffed" but because they could have Explored her character more. I say again, did she ever had a meaningful interaction with someone that wasn't Jaune ONSCREEN?

I think the problem that RWBY has is that it doesn't show enough. Or at least that's how i feel

I find it funny how you're reacting like this when a lot of the fandom both predicted she'd die and wanted things to get dark. Well it's dark now, she's dead, and now you wanna bring her back?

There's a reason why offscreen RWBY is best RWBY.

Yeah, Pyhrra was not Stuffed into the Fridge. She died as a consequence of her decision to fight Cinder, nothing more.

Well, at least Pyrrha wasn't killed like...Roman

I don't know, i never asked for darkness but maybe it could be that i was far too much into the lighthearted stuff i guess.

Fuck it, i want offscreenland. There is no darkness there tongue

Fridging only occurs when a character has no agency in their death, and Pyrrha's death resulted from her own heroic choices.

I don't want to sound arrogant, but I didn't detect much darkness in season 3.

#30539: Mar 19th 2016 at 7:11:51 PM

Well.It was Darker than the two previous seasons.I think that's why it hit some people so hard.We went from happy fun times to one character losing a arm and the other losing her life

[down] Well the people complaining now most likely aren't the ones who were fine with the way it was

It got dark, and I once again restate that the fans wanted it dark and knew that something would happen to make it dark. Now it's dark and they don't want it.

Melon: That I would disagree with. Though there was plenty of humor, the overall tone of the season was anticipation of something bad happening. And then the bad thing happened, and then another and another. The high points for the characters in between those bad points were overshadowed by the low. The end was essentially a hard brake on bad things happening, but it didn't reverse anything. We're not going to have school dances and food fights any time soon.

Honestly, I feel that the FNDM's problem is that Monty, Miles and Kerry planned on RWBY not being super lighthearted and wanted it to be a mature show. Unfortunately, Volumes 1 and 2 were basically a Slice of Life Action-Comedy, and not really dark. And then when the actual darkness happened (after fans were asking for it) a lot of fans freaked out over it and are asking to go back to the lighthearted comedy.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't

I think they just needed to transition it better, instead of taking a hammer to the established show and tearing it to pieces in the course of only 3 or so episodes.

Gradually build to the dark. Instead they went so dark so fast (irreversible dark I might add) the actual advertisements are basically false now because the entire thing changed.

Like if I have to reccomend the show to people now, which I have done in the past, now I don't know how to do it without spoliers since the usual things I'd tell them to build interest are now gone.

I disagree with the idea that it's "be careful what you wish for"; there were better ways to bring darker tones into the series than what they gave us.

Also, just because it was always planned to kill off Penny and Pyrrha in the ways they did doesn't really mean people can't disagree with the decision.

i'm in a wierd place where i liked the death scene but want pyrrah back. I also want the series to be a dramedy with some lighthearted seasons some dark and some in between. There has to be a balance. And by dark i don't mean some stupid shadow the Edgehog shit, i mean mature themes which rooster teeth is pretty good at.

I was THIS close to quit the show after the end of season 2, I didnt because I saw the whole thing in one night and third season was already close so it was worth a shot, but I blame season 2 for falling to a proper shiff of tone. "The breach" should have show the power of the grimms, the implication of that(namely that Cinder and Cia plan to use them, as show in season 3) and end with hanging note....

instead it become just "and our color theme waifus save the day and kick butt!" so is not surprising how the cerebrus syndrome come as shocking for many.

In fact, this is something Droy said before: the narrative AND the setting run in diferent direction, the setting is bleak, with very atack of titan type of situation where humanity is corner by grimm everywhere, the racist of faunus by human and so own, but the narrative focus in the kawai team of four girls having awsome fights, so when the show finally put the dark they promised, many people hate it.

Edit: it someone was friged it isnt Neither phyrras(since she face a warriors death) or Roman(who have a pathetic anti-climax) but Penny, as she suffer pretty much a fatality that got eclisep by everything that happen soon after, hell people are forgetting about her real quickly, dont they?

Pyrrha should stay dead. She's a great character, but she's served her purpose and undoing death is not something that should be taken lightly.

[up]Heck, Dragonball has gotten to the point that I just don't care if anybody dies because even the planet blowing up is reset a few seconds later with no consequences.

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

It's been weird to spend all this time without Droy. Oh well.

What done is done, Pyrrha is fucking dead and looks like she will stay that way. I still think it's a waste but oh well, RT is not to be questioned. After all, is pretty hard to create an interesting world that's mainly relegated offscreen tonguetonguetongue

But if they dare kill Zwei i fricking swear i will flip my shit (Ok, maybe not. But i hope that god dog stays alive to kick ass)

[up]Yeah, Droy was the only one beside me to enjoy the endless despair and denial of the forum(he pretty much cheer Adam as he dis-armed Yang) is a shamesad

About Phyrra...I cant care less about her, she face a warrior death againt a powerfull enemy, the only way to make her more epic is to put "battle againt a true hero" in the background.

Now, I still have hope for Roman to be alive, otherwise I will expect this show to be drag into the deepest pit of despair where Lord urubuchi can crush all the hope around.evil grin

Not Roman=Not hope
