1 I know we have a whole season left. It's just fear that it'll end up like 2nd Season and the season just ends with sweet action but few answers. I like a good fight. I LOVE IT. But let's be real. A lot of what we "know" about the villains is guess work and hear-say. Em and Merc and Cinder have been around a long time now and they still barely explain their motives. Adam may be used the same way. Likely because they don't want the villains to be understood. Like Hannibal Lecter, just a force of nature not meant to be known or understood, just feared.

3 I grant you Cinder is a good villain. But she's not the only driving force of the villains. Hell, Watts seems to treat her like the team mascot or waterboy. Maybe, just maybe, Cinder is suppose to steadily get powerful and become better than all the other villains just like Ruby may do amongst all the other heroes.

4 The two Faunus working for Adam. Sienna's other righthand man opposite of Adam. The mad scientist of Grimm Eclipse. And likely others shown in later season. I bet each season will have at least one new villain. Unless Neo and Torch come back.

7 If he was more quiet and zen, he'd come off more like a wise warrior on the wrong side of the law. Not this maniacal Twilight's Edward-esque bossy possessive Scott Pilgram Evil Ex. 1. We have a lot more volume than S2 had... like an hour more content. I'd argue the villains need to live longer to develop enough to have meaningful deaths... that includes meaning for the heroes... If Ruby's path is littered with unnamed corpses, she doesn't really fit as a "simple soul" when she gets to the endgame... and RT has stated 20 seasons is their goal, 10 is an unsupported estimate this fandom has run with as survivability seemed low for that long... but they never stated less than 20.
