I know people are mad about Penny but this wasn't undoing her character development.
Penny redefined EVERY truth Ironwood had created. With every action she took she undid his power, with every choice she made she dismantled his patriarchy

#RWBY8spoilers
He never saw her as human, but she became human by her own choices.
He isolated her from others, but she made her life about people she loved.
He defined the fates of other women, but she set them free.
He encoded death into her programming, but she decided her own death so that she could empower other women, so that she could remain herself
If all of this hadn't happened in the same space, and so close to each other, the contrast would've been lost and the feminist message of how women humanise themselves and each other would have never been part of the narrative
TLDR: Penny was the real hero who sacrificed it all for the world and she completely dismantled everything Ironwood stood for by proving him a selfish hypocritical tyrant
