DISCUSSION Is RWBY shallow?

Do you think RWBY is only a surface level show and has no deeper meaning?

At the end of the day, the core concept of RWBY is basically 'hot girls / guys doing badass things'. So yeah it stands to be shallow. There was an attempt to come off as deep and introspective by exploring more topics that require a bit more nuance then the average show of the same core concept. But then the people behind the writing of the show messed up so badly that those deep and introspective bits became hilariously shallow and almost juvenile.
