the brother gods were in the right to punish Salem and the world the way they did

The fans seem to forget the gods were the ones who made the world it's akin to them having an ant farm and one ant gets uppity

The same ant when made to understand the importance of life and death lead a revolt with other ants to bite you

So the washed them away and kept the original ant to still have to learn the lesson they still refused to learn

The gods weren't even bothering the world until Salem interfered both of them were content watching and observing

They weren't asking for anything waging ears hell if any worship happens they don't force it and accept it darkness for example could've demanded for them to praise him but doesn't and was even willing tofghthis own brother for what seemed like his first genuine follower

The situation Salem finds herself in even her being corrupted into the grimm pools is her fault and hers alone

And even when she got what she wanted when she had her ozma she still fucked everything up by deciding to do eugenics with there kids

CRWBY has apparently said they've maintained a vague, noncommittal stance on an official, granular timeline for the series. Rather than publishing an exact day-by-day or month-by-month calendar, they intentionally keep temporal details vague to allow "room for error" and avoid boxing the narrative into tight corners.

But sometimes this just results in weird timeline BS.

Or maybe just stuff that I am pedantic about.

Like we know there was the Great War 80 years prior to the story, and that resulted in a "time of peace" where the Kingdoms weren't at war. Yes, there were still Grimm, bandits, and the White Fang, but macro-scale world war wasn't a thing for a while. This peace is what made Cinder and co. threatening it mean something, apparently.

Beacon and the Huntsman Academies are also weird because Ruby enters at 15, and everyone else enters at 17 normally. If they just moved everyone up 1 year, Beacon could be a college, although school uniforms (usually an anime thing, which RWBY is heavily inspired by) aren't a thing in college as far as I am aware.

Then the School year ends in Fall, which isn't true for either American or Japanese schooling, as far as I am aware. But that is mainly because they had a massive "Fall" boner in Volume 3. Cinder Fall becomes the full Fall Maiden and causes the Fall of Beacon during Fall.

There is also the stuff with Ruby and Yang's age. Yang is only 2 years older than Ruby, so it made some people wonder how quickly Taiyang got over Raven, got with Summer, got married, and then had Ruby. I am pretty sure this was partially the reason, or at least A reason, the "Qrow is Ruby's real dad" theory went around.

And also on a broader term, ages are just weird. Everyone is as old as they need to be for the plot. Cinder is apparently young enough to pass as a student from Haven, but she feels much older.

There may be plenty of other timeline/age weirdness in RWBY that people have issues with that I am not recalling at the moment, but what are some things that bother you about the timeline, and how could you imagine them being tweaked/improved/changed?

Edit: great war timeline correction, thank you u/Alarming-Ferret-7774
