Now your arguments are based on the principle that the traitor is a bad guy. The reason I include JNPR in the list was because it has already happened. Jaune was a traitor to his team because he was blackmailed by Cardin and redeems himself by the end of the storyline.

A traitor isn't necessarily a bad guy, he could be blackmailed, he could give sensitive information to someone he trust without knowing that person's allegiance or he could be a bad guy. If you read my column completely, your would know I made a distinction between the two. Having someone who is a unintentional traitor and has to works to redeem himself is a much more compelling storyline than a mustache twirling bad guy who betrays the school.

As for the video game, RvB and such. Because they haven't done it before doesn't preclude them for doing so now. In fact, It tends to strenghten the possibility that they would this time. You don't do a new series to tell the same story, you want to do something different. Especially when you have creative control.
