"Jaune and Oscar's characters could've been combined..."

Alright, so let me help explain the backlash to your discussion.

Its NOT that you have a bad idea necessarily, FAR FROM IT!

I read your post, it has some merits.

Here's....here's the issue.

The original discussion was made...By Judgemental Critter, who then proceeded to get involved in a fixit fanfic male cast bloat and female cast shrinkage....and had Oscar's role taken...By Roman Torchwick.

So long story short, while you probably have some good points?

They've been tainted by those people and their videos.

My recommendation is first start by stating that you respect the strategies that M&K had, showing that you mean no disrespect.

And you should have people willing to at least hear you out initially rather than immediately shut you down.

So for what its worth, good luck.

Ahhh yeah I've heard of that one, along with other so-called 'fixit fics' that I just despise on general principle, precisely because I think RWBY is masterfully written given the resource constraints the team has always faced.

This is what I get for generally not wanting to research fandom drama and learn all the personalities involved, isn't it? Again, as always, I am front of the trenches on RWBY being a feminist show and loving it precisely because of how it respects and centers its female leads.

Also some of the negative reactions I was responding to were apparently not actually written with my thoughts in mind at all, so yeah I probably thought a bit too highly of my position in the blogosphere on that one 😅

"It hurt to lose to Ronald Reagan. But after the election, I tried to make the transition as smooth as possible. Later, from my experience in trying to brief him on matters of supreme importance, I was very disturbed at his lack of interest. The issues were the 15 or 20 most important subjects that I as President could possibly pass on to him. His only reaction of substance was to express admiration for the political circumstances in South Korea that let President Park close all the colleges and draft all the demonstrators. That was the only issue on which he came alive."

-- Former President Jimmy Carter, on losing the 1980 election and the transition leading to the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, interview with TIME Magazine, October 11, 1982.

Goddamn is it wild how you do a bit of speculation on how maybe Jaune and Oscar's characters could've been combined in an interesting way that would've both reduced male cast bloat and reinforced Jaune's theme of "wanting to be the hero but not being able to" by giving him a path towards it (merging with Oz) that would've, quite clearly, cost him himself by irrevocably changing who he is as a person, which at least to me is a pretty clear way of saying "this is not for you", and suddenly you're a "Jaune stan" trying to make him a bigger deal than the female leads?

Like, just... no? That wasn't my idea at all? I've been beating the "Jaune is not a main character" drum since I got into RWBY. I literally have all the RWBY/Jaune ship tags blocked because I despise fanon inflation of his character that much.

LoL, I'm just genuinely insulted to be lumped into Jaune fandom.

Ah, thread forking strikes again. The point I keep trying to make on this topic isn't to actually make Jaune a Hero, but to tempt him with the offer through merging with Oz... which would change who he was dramatically. It's kind of like Ascension... become who you want to be, at the cost of who you are.

If I were actually writing this (which I'm simply not interested enough in Jaune to do) I'd have him ultimately chose to resist the change. To stay himself at the cost of his dream, and keep supporting his friends.

“Prototype Jaune is Osc*r coded!”

Osc*r is and always has been a repurposed Jaune who is worse in every conceivable way. Jaune should have been Ozpin’s host and Osc*r should have been an idea laughed out of the writers room at worst, or never conceived at best.

Look, we joke a lot, but really, "you were born evil, wretched, worse than the scum of the earth, and it took killing a god to make you salvageable, so now you'd better be grateful to that god and thank him 10,000 times a day for it and fill your thoughts with him 24/7 and abide by the letter of his every word, lest you suffer unimaginable torture for all of eternity" is a truly horrendous thing to believe about yourself and other people

[chaoticevilspacewitch]

I think we're actually agreeing on a lot here. I mean, critiquing Jaune empowerment fantasies has been my jam for a while. What I'm saying by making him the host is: basically, offer him Ascension. He leans into the merge, he gets all the heroic abilities he's always dreamed about, but he's not himself anymore. Current Jaune might not even recognize or like Hero Oz!Jaune. OR, he resists the merge, gives up on his power fantasy and possibly fucks over the world, depending on what resisting Ozpin means for his reincarnation, and how vital Oz may or may not be for Remnant's future.

Granted, it does make him more important to the narrative, regardless of the path he takes.

(Honestly I just don't like Oscar and want to stick Oz in someone else so he wouldn't be necessary)

Y’all get that making Jaune Oz’s host would ruin him as a character right? Y’all understand that he can’t be the big dam hero, right? You get that if he had any more trappings of a traditional protagonist it ruin what he’s subverting right?

[chaoticevilspacewitch]

No no trust me, I totally get that "Jaune is a not a hero". Thing is... Oscar totally subverted Jaune by turning around and being what Jaune isn't.

Nobody farmboy suddenly comes into magic powers and gets dragged into a crazy immortal war for the fate of the world; gets accelerated training montage and is suddenly contending with people who've trained their whole life, in engaged in contest of wills with immortal wizards, could now be on romantic path with female protagonist.

My contention is that you *could* turn Jaune into Oz's host and still keep his character intact; emphasize it more, even. Contrast what Jaune can do by himself versus what he can do when he lets Ozpin drive. Whereas Oscar very quickly leveled up, Jaune could continue to struggle... but Oz!Jaune can be powerful and heroic. And Jaune has to wrestle with the fact that, if he gives Oz more, leans into the merge... he could be what he wants to be. It'll just cost him who he is.

Oz!Jaune is a different person. He's colder, more calculating. He's the master, not the friend. For him, sacrifices are necessary, and Pyrrha is just another name on the long, long list of ones he's made.

Does Jaune want to become this person in pursuit of his heroic ideal?

Making Jaune the host could have preserved Jaune's character AND reduced cast bloat WITHOUT creating another major protagonist who muddies the focus and themes of the story.

Y’all get that making Jaune Oz’s host would ruin him as a character right? Y’all understand that he can’t be the big dam hero, right? You get that if he had any more trappings of a traditional protagonist it ruin what he’s subverting right?
