@KNN: I presume you are already aware that Volumes 1-3 are essentially the prologue, the show's pacing is relatively slow as a result of its desire to take its time and that we are in this for the long run?

Love it or hate it, it's not exactly surprising that we haven't got villain motivations yet, this our first look at the actual main villain group and not just one of them. Tyrian has been covered fairly well and we are only going to get more Watts and Hazel next volume. Will we get backstory? Perhaps not to the extent Cinder had but probably yeah. It'll just take time.

Everyone has different desires in regards to story telling. You seem to be very goal focused. Preferring shorter stories where the hero enters quickly and confidently and achieves their goals in an efficient but satisfying way. I myself on the other hand, enjoy the journey, let a story take its time and just enjoy the ride. It can overstay its welcome certainly, but at RWBY's current rate I am perfectly fine with how it has organsied itself.

Then again, I ain't much of a critic anyway.
