You obviously never saw Putin after turkey shot down one of his jets . Or know anything about Bill Browder . Or his retaliation against Georgia . <| sep |> The problem with Korra was that they didn ' t know how long it was going to be so each season was self contained until season 3 when they knew they were getting a 4 th . That meant they couldn ' t get a long term plan for her and had to just keep upping the ante . That being said , I still prefer Korra as a series and definitely as a character . I dislike the idea that because a character is powerful they aren ' t liked . Not saying it doesn ' t happen but I think it says more about the viewer . It ' s why people who say Superman is boring because he had no weakness apart from Kryptonite annoy me . You ' re getting to wrapped up in the powers and powers aren ' t a person . However I think the biggest problem with Ruby as a character is her starting point . The show begins with Ozpin telling us that she is a simple honest soul that is key to victory . If she is that already , where can she go ? If she can ' t grow as a character then the only way to make her compelling is to make her stronger but she also starts out as combat prodigy , tactical genius , born leader , magic and destined to be a great warrior . Where can you go with there ? Korra worked because they made a powerful character who would have been a great avatar for TLA and then put her in political situations where her fighting prowess meant nothing . That meant she was forced to rely on the parts of her that were lacking . They have kinda done it in RWBY as a whole but with Pyrrha and Yang . With Pyrrha they just killed her instead of really following through or doing anything with the conflict they spent a volume building up and Yang may have been crippled like Korra but the circumstances are very different . And that ' s not a bad thing for Yang . Her story is compelling despite her being a strong character . I ' m just starting to wonder if Ruby as a character is restricted by being what she needs to be right out of the gate .
