...Or maybe she was created because RT never intended for Adam to be redeemed in the first place, and created IIlia for that purpose?

You can disagree with RT about not wanting to redeem Adam, but they didn’t make a mistake. If they planned to redeem Adam, but then realized they went to far and couldn’t redeem him anymore, then yes. They would have made a mistake.

Except...that isn’t what happened. They didn’t screw up Adam’s character because this was always his character. Again, you have a very specific image of what you want Adam to be and unfortunely it doesn’t match why Adam actually is, was supposed to be and what role he had in the narrative of RWBY. If anything, you shouldn’t like Adam. He’s clearly not what you thought he was or wanted him to he.

IIlia and Adam were both created for a specific purpose. One was going to be redeemed, the other was not. You don’t like it? Tough luck. In addition to acting like a spoiled brat, you’re now also acting like a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

IIlia didn’t get Adam’s redemption arc, because Adam was never going to get one anyways. You can’t screw something up that never existed or was planned in the first place.
