1) you didn't get a war feeling from the season 3 intro with the grimm running in from the left and the heros and soldiers from the right?

2) opinion.

3) Because having counters and over-coming them is interesting and challenging.

4) Weak. IMO, that's trite writing. 1) Like 73.Anon said, it's a survival hell, not a real war. And even if it was, it doesn't give the same feeling as in Gundam, because Gundam focuses on the war, from the PoV of the Ace Pilot. If war happened in RWBY, the show wouldn't focus on the war, on the battles or anything. It would keep focusing on RWBY's journies. At most, it would be mentioned when it's relevant, but not focused on.

2) Fact. You wanted to say you wanted everyone to have strengths and weaknesses like RPG classes, but Rock-Paper-Scissors is just a game of blind luck, where everyone has a 1/3 chance of winning.

It's like trying to explain Weiss's strengths and weaknessses using Poker.

3) But like I said, if the counters in the end change nothing and don't decide battles either, if they can still be overcome, what's the point then? It makes the idea pointless and just a waste.

4) Then deal with it, because so far, all logic and rational thinking demand that it happens like that. Because if it wasn't, it wouldn't be as believable or realistic. Ruby defeating her for good using Silver Eyes is the only believable way so far known to defeat her for good.

3-A hint to this might as be the drake-like continent she lives on

4-Think of the horrid look on Em and Merc's face as they looked outside BEFORE SALEM JOINED THEM IN THE ROOM 1-....And just what do you think will happen if it wakes up? Besides, again, be patient. It's too soon for it to wake up.

2-Salem obviously knew about it, but I think Cinder didn't have to do anything herself. Old Grimm are patient, they can wait decades, centuries, and more, for the right moment to appear and cause as much damage as possible. The Dragon likely sensed what was going on, and felt it was the right time to appear and cause (more) mayhem.

3-That's just blind speculation, it's no fact that she lives there. People have also proposed that she lives at the western border of Anima, which was conspicuously red.

4-Okay, it's getting annoying. Bold, Italics. Ever heard of them? Know what they are? Use them.

They were watching Beowulves being born from those pools. Grimm being created. That horrid look was more of a realization of who they are working with, and what kind of mess they got into. Not that Salem turned into a Dragon and puked those pools.
