User blog:Angren Túrë/When's the Darkness gonna show up?

Call it a matter of taste and impatience--and you're probably right--but so far, I'm beginning to get a little frustrated with how light RWBY is in contrast to all the darkness we've been promised. Now, if the series has a naturally light tone, I get that. Nothing inherently wrong with that, and not everything can be Game of Thrones or Narcos. But the problem is, ever since the Vol. 2 opening, we've been promised some really grim developments that--so far--have not come to pass. In particular, I was phenomenally disappointed with last Volume's finale just because of how handily and easily the Grimm invasion was resolved*. Not just because of how there seem to be little to no consequences of that event here in Volume 3, but it also gives off the impression that a world we're being continually told is dark and dangerous, is in fact anything but to the viewer.

Now I understand: Hunters are OP. The way in which they curbstomped the Grimm in that episode makes perfect sense canonically, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to complain about it. You can have overpowered protagonists and that's well and good, but you have to give them equally overpowered (or ideally, even stronger and smarter antagonists), or else there's no sense of danger, and no drama as a result.

I have high hopes for this volume at present, but if we don't start getting into morally gray territory soon, I will be disappointed.
