Yeah, there's a height chart on the RWBY Wiki somewhere. And characters with official heights are listed on their pages.

Yatsuhashi is the tallest character in the series at 7'0"

abotu Shane letter, a super short version: he is piss a RT because they dont handle Monty vision as he think they should and change to the series, that is all you need to know....

...well kind of, he also reveal that aparenly Raven was supused to atack JNRP to "foreshadow things to come" whatever the hell that means, that Yang and Adam should have a longer battle, that Mercury vs Yang was in a closed space(as his original idea was Merc shooting thosw white blast into the wall so they can bounce at Yang) and that Jaune would Kill phyrra by accident. whatever those change are good or not depend on you.

But anyway, I agree with Soble that Raven is not the kind of chararter who can apear in dreams, unfortunaly we dont really know the meaning of this dream since Monty is kind of dead a this point, so is moot point.

Also, Im the only one who thinks Raven have some sort of conection with Adam?, Maybe she teach him the use of the edgebladesurprised

I personally think that if what Shane was saying in his letter was true and those ideas were 100% what Monty wanted and they weren't going to be edited or changed, Volume 3 wouldn't be seen as good by viewers. It'd probably cause more of a divide among viewers. Cause honestly, a lot of those ideas are pretty dumb sounding and feel like they're mostly thought up cause Monty thought they'd be cool.

I dunno, I really liked the idea that Jaune be responsible for Pyrrha's death, cruel as it might be.

Though I do think that miiight've been a tad too dark.

Yang and Adam should have a longer battle, that Mercury vs Yang was in a closed space(as his original idea was Merc shooting thosw white blast into the wall so they can bounce at Yang) and that Jaune would Kill phyrra by accident.

What

the

frack.

Yang and Adam should have a longer battle,

Absolutely.

that Mercury vs Yang was in a closed space(as his original idea was Merc shooting thosw white blast into the wall so they can bounce at Yang)

Why Rooster Teeth, why!? Velvet's reveal could've waited, or been shorter!

I'm not to much of a fan of the idea personally. Though that's due to personal bias as well as me having problems with her death. Having it be Jaune's fault is just salt added to the wounds.

However, as I mentioned before, I'm more not a fan of the idea since I know for a fact that no fan would ever, ever, ever let Jaune live it down that he caused the death of Pyrrha. Not even the Rooster Teeth crew would probably let it go. It'd be "Yamcha got killed by a Saibaman" levels of Never Live It Down. No matter how much better Jaune got.

[up][up][up]Adam vs Yang sound stright out monty as rule of cool kind of thing, Monty see more focus in what scene he wants to be and let rest figure out how to get there.

[up][up]Nonsense, there is never to much darkness, or more glorious DESPAIR!!!!!!evil grin

Well the idea was that Cinder initially was much weaker, and Pyrrha actually stood a chance until Jaune messes up and gets her killed. Instead Cinder was dialed up much more than they'd planned to the point Shane thought she was ridiclously overpowered and nobody stood a chance.

Same with Adam. Originally he and Yang had a long drawn out battle but Adam eventually comes out on top and cuts off her arm. Which was changed to him just being so much stronger he one shots her.

Initially I thought this was unwise because it would make it nigh impossible for any kind of satisfying win over them later, but if the Vol 4 teaser was any indication everyone else got powered up during the timeskip anyway (or at least RNJR did) so maybe not.

Those few months of nomadic travelling sure makes the average fighter a lot better at fighting. Thas totes believable.

I've said this before, but some of Monty's ideas that did make it past the rest of the writers were stupid. It was his idea to have Penny save the day at the end of Volume 1 and for Coco to save the day in Volume 2. One of his weaknesses as a writer is that he'd substitute good writing for scenes that were "cool" but only served to weaken the plot.

Sometimes a writer really needs to repress their urge for doing things simply for rule of cool, it's unsurprisingly not always cool.

Adam one-shotting Yang is honestly better than a drawn out fight. It highlights the fact that yes, he is a threat that the heroes won't be able to bumrush easily with numbers, plus Yang kind of walked into it. Besides, a drawn out fight wouldn't mesh with the flow of the finale.

[up][up][up]It probably doesn't help that besides Rv B, Monty's work before RWBY was mostly just videos that were just fight scenes with little plot (The Samus v Master Chief and Dead Fantasy), so at least with those you can run on Rule of Cool. When you're trying to a make an actual show with an actual narrative and plot, you'll sometimes need to reel the rule of coolness at times.

[up][up][up]But is Monty the guy LIVE for awsome, asking him to not being awsome is asking him to not be monty.

Also It was monty idea of train fight(in his own words "I want boss fights" ) that end with Neo trashing Yang(good) Weiss losing to not-leatherface hilariously(not that good) to Blake trashing Roman in less that a minute(Wait, WHAT?)

And maybe I saying because Adam is my favorite chararter right now but I enjoy him one shot Yang, because volume 2 make me hard to belive the villian have something against the heros, it was to noblebright for my taste, now they have in deep shit and Yang lose her hand for it

Usually writers let the story lead to the awesomeness, not let the awesomeness dictate the way of the plot.

As a writer, I think it's more of a 50/50 split, really. Sometimes the plot leads to awesomeness and sometimes you have a really awesome scene so you figure out what needs to happen in the plot to get there. The trick is making sure you don't do anything retarded along the way and being willing to drop the awesome scene if you can't avoid doing something bad.

Quick question (sorry for the interrupt): Is there an actual thread for Grimm Eclipse in the Video Games forum, or does it fall under RWBY here?

Monty and Shane wanted Adam to slice the entire train in half in the black trailer along with the robot.

Miles and Kerry talked them out of it by saying if Adam was that strong then the White Fang should have conquered Remnant already.

So yeah, Monty might have gotten a big over kill at times.

[up]Yeah, the train scene show how unbalance the chararter are, Monty speak more in awsome scene, is Adam slicing a train is cool, them it goes.

On the other hand, the sneak peak where Ruby face the Gorila grimm is not that good as Ruby just run for one place to the other, compare thad to Red trailer....Mony creativity is gone
