... Why would Nora be an alien? That's... That's a crack theory.
(oO) Weird, not bad, just weird.
Anyway, I'm posting this here, cos I expect if I did on SV, I'd get several idiots screaming "Bitch!" over and over again:

I still find your attitude on that front extremely gross to be honest, sorry but "We should let her die" is not a good stance, by that logic they should have left everyone in Mantle to die as well, because it was 'their time'.
Except that is not what I am saying.
I am saying that is why, narratively speaking, it makes sense that Penny died even after only just being reunited with Ruby and literally just getting a human body.
Narratively speaking Ruby has now experienced something very similar to what Salem went through, and with this experience and being able to rise again Ruby will have the means to "save" Salem and end the curse.
Did I WANT the ginger ray of sunshine to die? Hell no! However I do understand and accept why it had to play out like it did.
Except Ruby had already lost people close to her.
Summer - Died out on a mission while Ruby is really young. Ruby is currently grappling with the very real possibility that she is actually a Hound now.
Pyrrha - While a friend and someone Ruby directly failed to save, she was far closer to her team than with Team RWBY.
Penny - A friend once dead, returned to her. Then tried protecting with all she had. Someone Ruby took a risk and used some cunning to try and save. A friend, someone close and important to Ruby, still died despite everything.
Not to mention if people are right then Penny's body will be there on that island, and that will be the second time Ruby will have seen her friend dead.
Ruby has lost people, it's true, but Penny has held more importance to Ruby since the reunited in Mantle. And this is also on top of everything else that has gone wrong for our little hero in a very short amount of time.
To put it in perspective, I have lost a few family members in the last few years. My Aunt and my Gandmother both died within the same month like 2 Decembers ago. It was rough for all of us, especially after spending the last few years before hand taking care of Grandmother as her body and mind slowly faded. More recently my Dad died back in August, around a week after his birthday (in his mid 70's). I am the one who found his body. It should be no surprise that his death hit me and my family harder than the last 2. He was right there. He picked me up from work earlier that day. He was just in the damn shower. I can't even count how many times I have thought "If I had just checked on him sooner, he would still be with us." But here I stand, months later, doing what I can to carry on. I have lost people. Been to many funerals. I would love to have my old man back, but I can't. He is dead. Instead I carry on. I go to work. I help Mom around the house and with the dogs. I support my fiancée. Some days are easier than others. Other days the frustrations and emotions risk boiling over. I cry almost every damn time I look over at his Urn and I miss him. But, it is what it is. He is gone. It hurts. I carry on.
I know death. I have seen death. And I keep moving forward. Ruby now has to handle that same test that life throws at all of us.

I'm going to say you're both making good points, and I know that makes me look wishy-washy, but it's true!

It's the sort of crack theory you giggle at and move on. I don't have much interest in a whole video of it.
To be honest, I kind of stayed away from anything post-Season 4 out of general principle... but then again Rooster Teeth are left-leaning Libertarians... and in the US that means those idiots crazies fundamentalists practically who worship Rynd like the freaking second coming. 
Then there is the shitty deal that they gave Ironwood to push their 'armies of evil' BS...

I may have sold the alarm for some extra cash.
