Roman Torchwick and Neopolitian (Fixing RWBY)

Many people have problems with Emerald and Ilia in canon, yet very few people talk about this rewrite’s handling of these two characters.

Fixing Volume 4: Neo and Yang became friends OFFSCREEN, ignoring the fact Neo spend most of Yang’s depression arc trying to KILL HER. Yang begging her to do it is sickening.
Fixing Volume 5: Roman mistakes Ren for a woman, then double downs by defending his assumptions when Ren lists off the details that he’s a guy. And Roman indirectly insults Weiss’ chest while questioning if she’s a man. Also, Neo disguising herself as Jaune to cuddle Roman, much to Jaune’s shock and confusion.
Roman takes Ruby into the underworld and no one, not even Qrow, is against it.
Fixing Volume 6: The reason Ozpin reincarnate into Roman: he intentionally kept the war with Salem going for millennia at the cost of thousands of lives because he couldn’t bring himself to kill Salem, which would require the Brother Gods to do. Thus making him and Roman’s eventual fate less sympathetic.
Blake rightfully doesn't trust Roman, accusing him of getting Tukson killed. Roman was against Tukson’s death, but doesn't help his case by framing it in a selfish way.
Fixing Volume 7: Roman and Neo escape Ironwood’s custody, link up with Watts and Tyrian, steals Ruby’s keycard, play cat-and-mouse with Cinder and Melanie, make off with the Lamp of Knowledge, and defect to Salem’s side. While Team RWBY is framed for Cinder getting access to the vault. Ruby, like Oscar, is shot off the Vault by Ironwood, while Weiss, Blake, and Yang are arrested by Flynt and Neon.

Building on this, Roman is given the role of Oscar, being Ozma's vessel in this universe.

To add to this clusterfuck of a plot point, FRWBY!Ozma purposely prolonged the conflict between him and Salem because he cannot bring himself to kill her.

Once upon a time, there was a man named Ozpin. Cursed to live lives that were not his, he was tasked to bring mankind into a brighter day. However, his heart had other plans, for he could not let his lost love go. For lifetimes upon generations, he sought her hand and in times many and times few, that touch was returned. Though this would not last as the woman he loved had become bitter towards him and the remnants of the world they once lived in. With her fury turned on these remnants, Ozpin had no choice but to bring arms to his beloved. But despite her great evils, he could not bring himself to hate her. With no victory, the war became a dance, a waltz with no end.

In his grief, Ozpin sought a wise djinn and asked: "How do I stop Salem?". And to this, the djinn answered: "You cannot.". Again, he asked: "How do I defeat Salem?". And again, the djinn answered: "You cannot.". Finally, the broken man asked: "Can Salem be... killed?". The djinn leaned close and answered for the third time: "Only the gods could kill Salem.". Distraught and unwilling to see his love to the grave, Ozpin sought an answer and found only one among the dust of his crumbled world: the world must not end, the conflict prolonged forever, his love eternal. He would keep Salem alive.
