Even beyond too much attention to the heroes, I'm glad we finally have an episode that isn't focused on Ruby and Weiss. I'm banking on Adam making a breif, forshadow-y reapearance near the end of volume 1. I can see him and either an antagonist-protagonist or an antogonist with a complicated past. He obviously has a history with Blake and will be a big characters dev. source for her, but he, himself looks to have a lot of potential as a complex and interesting character. Plus, between his mask appearing in the intro, and what little sample we've been given of his personality thus far, I can't see him taking being ditched lying down, so I don't see how he could not come back. And I don't see him coming back to sell Girl Scout cookies.

Past that, I know the fandom as a whole has embraced Velvet as an adorable potential waifu and left it at that, but can any one other than me see her as an antagonist? Like, as one of those people who seems a lot like a protagonist, tell they do a 180 and completely betray the good guys. I see this very clearly, for a few reasons:

a. She obviously gets crap about being Faunus (bunny ears are kind of hard to hide) and just may be a tad sick of getting kicked around

b. We know that there are Faunus civil rights movements, and I'm one who believes that the White Fang are an orginization of Faunus.

c. Considering she's at an elite fighting school, I find it hard to buy that she would be a totally defenseless, seemingly weak girl who just let's others literally pull her ears and bully her.

d. I'm just naturally suspicious of the character that seems the least likely to be evil. I'm into a lot of murder mystery, people-are-not-what-they-seem type of stories, and anyone who shares a similar interest can probably agree that Velvet seems a prime suspect of something like that. Plus, I can just about visualise a scene in which Velvette turns on one of our heroes in a crucial moment.

e. Kind of a continuation of "D". I also support the fan-cannon that Adam is associated with the White Fang in some way, and that he is Faunus (the lyrics of "From Shadows" just support this theory to much in my eyes for me to not see both Blake and Adam as Faunus). This is a little far, but I'm even considering that Velvette and Adam know eachother (perhaps if Velvette is a spy of some sort for the White Fang) and that Velvette's betrayal could bring Adam into the story.

And that's my theory-dump. Sorry, had to post it somewhere, and I'm far too lazy to make a blog about it (which I probably should have done and might do anyways).
