I have a feeling RWBY's writers aren't really trying to make the Grimm the "big bads" so to speak. There's probably this whole "Humanity is the real monster" motif.

I mean, the friggin' WF Lieutenant, a character who means pretty much nothing to the show came closer to killing a member of RWBY than hundreds of Grimm have. Roman is more dangerous than a hundred Grimm.

Speaking of the WF Lieutenant, who else thinks he's supposed to respresent the Huntsman from Snow White?

I mean, Weiss is supposed to be Snow White. The Huntsman is supposed to kill Snow White- but he doesn't. He lets her go.

For some reason, the WF Lieutenant doesn't finish Weiss off.

Now, they needed a way to stop Blake killing Roman so Weiss got chucked into the next carriage, and distracted Blake. This is probably the reason he didn't kill her.

But, let's just disregard that for a moment. What if he becomes a more significant character? Maybe he, on some level, is like the Hunstman- he couldn't bring himself to kill a young girl, in spite of the rewards it would bring him. Perhaps he never wanted the White Fang to come to this, and lost his way a little (okay, a lot).

That kind of thing would help make the WF not just punching bags for team RWBY.

Just something to think about.
