2) Some have suggested there's no way Winter could defeat Cinder as a newly annointed Maiden 1) Its even worse though, for 2 reasons:

First, Ruby literally copy-pasted Ozpin's lies (and of course, no one yells and punches her for it). And Yang, despite condemning Ozpin so much for keeping secrets, proceeds to do just that. If there was any doubt she was an hypocrite before, there's none left now.

Second, Ironwood literally let RWBY go unpunished after stealing an Atlesian airship, a serious crime, just by Ruby being honest. From the get go he was presented as a man who appreciates and rewards honesty. Which only makes it harder to support RWBY lying and hiding things from him, regardless of reasons.

He was paranoid, sure, but reasonable. But now thanks to our heroines, we are left with exactly the paranoid dictator Ruby didn't want to trust. - 2) To be fair, nothing says Winter must fight her alone. I can see Jaune supercharging her to even the odds.
