I think the Goliaths were very much meant to be real adult Grimm and Oobleck points out that they are waiting for the right moment. Basically, those Grimm were intelligent enough to know full well that storming into the city would be suicide. The fact the show is just barely into the second half of the first school year in the RWBYverse suggests they really don't need to go all out yet.

I am neither a noob nor ignorant. My issue is that I am noticing how people in the best position to confirm that she is dead had or have avoided explicitly confirming it. To me that seems as if they are leaving open the possibility or very much intend that she is still alive. Nothing that could be taken as official confirms it and thus I see at as an open question. -Part of what worries me is the Badass Decay. You see, the Deathstalker proved himself to be at least a boss of some sort in Volume 1, but was insta-killed in a single shot without even getting a fighting chance in Volume 2. Actually, it was like 3 DSs who got insta-killed, in the same scene, with just a few seconds in-between deaths.

The same could happen with Goliaths. They may show them to be uberly powerful, capable of destroying buildings with just their noses, and by the next Volume they are one more red shirt that can be crushed in a few blows at worst.

-I wasn't saying you were, but there are lots of noobs and ignorants who say Summer is alive simply because Yang didn't say "died". They don't give any evidence, they just make a wild theory in the case she's alive, yet provide nothing that could even suggest she's alive to start with, and assume she is alive simply because they are too stupid to recognize an euphenism.

Although I do admit that at the very least, RT is trying hard to convince us she's dead.
