RWBY is a series that was flawed from its very inception. It was only created so that Monty could have a setting and a recurring cast of characters to tie together the battle scenes he liked to animate. Characterisation and a coherent story were far from a priority, and it was made even worse by how little communication there was between Monty and the writers (and the writers being shit to begin with).
People liked it at first because of the novelty factor and the Monty battle animations, but this model was not sustainable in the long run. It soon became clear that the show's problems were never going to be fixed, much less after Monty's death.
The only way to salvage it would be to start over from scratch with a clear vision and direction. The problem is that any studio that could do this would almost certainly try to pander to the braindead fanbase by including all the retarded characters and elements that bogged the show down in the first place.
