@Chish:

3) Yes. No matter how evil, no one would take a name like "The Butterfly" seriously. "Hawk Moth", meanwhile, can be taken with a straight face.

5) I'm not saying she's not evil though. I'm saying that none of the villains feel truly evil. With some their morality is unknown or are neutral (Watts, Cinder, Tyrian, Merc), with some it's doubtful that they're evil ( Hazel, Em), and some are just extremist but not necesarily evil (Adam).

We are constantly told that they're evil and must be stopped, but we don't feel their evilness at all. If anything, they seem higher on the morality scale than the "heroes".

>Salem could settle down a fight by praising everyone while putting down no one. She took the hard route with Cinder's re-training but it was because Cinder needed to be independent if she wanted her promised power. She lets her pawns give their opinion of things without problems. She refuses to take things by force if it's not necesary. She even seemingly forgave Tyrian enough to not send him off to his death.

Not to mention she's proactive. And even when Cinder hacked the coms during the FoB, what she said wasn't entirely a lie, considering how Atlas had just covered Vale with his army without asking Ozpin.

We don't even know why she wants the Relics, we just know she wants to "Change the World", which is as morally vague as it could get.

>Ozpin's group did nothing but wait, and the moment they chose to do something it was way too late. He keeps things from his companions and the people, and the Ozluminati follow his every breath without question, while giving a sermon to the one who does not (for good reasons).

And while they definitely could use the Relics to make the world a better place, they haven't. They just want Salem not to get them.

Not saying Ozpin's group is evil, but when you compare, his group looks more "evil" than Salem's.

7) They could just grab it and hold it in place with an airship, like if it was a balloon. Or use some Mining Bird from the SIC. (Remember, the guys with the robot animals from the LN).

8) Wasps are just nastier bees.

9) Yeah, that's why I named them differently. The first ones are Blue Blue, whiter in the middle, and while it's hard to see if they got any ice spikes, they do make an icy sound. The cyan ones are completely different, so if they're Dust, it's not Ice Dust. Even the impact effects are different.

There were only 5 elements available for her. It's obviously not Fire or Lightning or Wind. The first set of lasers were not Cyan, the second were. The first set of lasers had an icy sound effect, the second did not. The first one didn't make explosions, the second one did.

11) I think there was 1 Glyph, a big one, below the boxes. But I couldn't tell if it was Wind Dust or a normal Glyph. The normal Glyphs also look white and also lift things up, like we saw in V1.

12) >When a simple bee is more badass than a great Scottish demon and a giant Dragon and a Sea Serpent that shoots lightning.

14) She proposed and supported violence when humans pushed them around. She wanted humans to fear Faunus. If that includes burning down each and every shop that didn't sell to Faunus, she's still an hipocrite with Adam. Giving him a sermon for using violence and terrorism to get "equal treatment out of fear".

---

15) Except he is literally working with humans and lets them do how they please. If Faunus are superior, this fact makes Adam a huge hipocrite. "Yes, we are the superior race, we are so much better than humans! Just ignore how we are working for those humans in the meantime".

17) It didn't need to be so long. Ruby ended up pretty badly just from falling into a hole. Weiss having endured a fight, followed by a ship crashing? Anyone could've telled she wouldn't exactly be in a good-enough state to get up and walk from the get go. It didn't need to be a marathon.

18) So Valesians and Atlesians are monotheistic, Mistralian (and wherever the captain comes from) are polytheistic. An interesting theory.
