Qrow needs to sit Ozcar down and get Oz to tell him exactly how he plans to do things differenty. Now that Beacon is dead forever, and Haven is next and Glynda is out of the picture and Ironwood is paranoid, they're literally in a WORSE position than Beacon and they lost Beacon. So what does Oz plan to do to prevent Beacon from repeating with ALL of the school.

Qrow: So what are we going to do?

Ozcar: ....Uh-huh....I'll tell him.... He says: "Pour some tea. And calmly wait and see if this whole Salem-problem goes away."

It's like the creator sat down and decided no matter what anyone tries they would make sure the villains always had something working in their favor to prevent it. Oz is unwittingly Salem's best accomplice. That or Salem's semblance must be flawless good luck. She's never felt the pressure. Never said "I mess up, the heroes won this round." Meanwhile the heroes lose and people die and the world slowly gets ready to tear itself apart pointing fingers, and all the heroes say is "at least my family problem panned out, right? At least we beat that one pesky Grimm, right? At least Ironwood gave me this sweet robot arm I pretended I didn't want, but actually did, right? At least I got the butler fired as I escaped my Monopoly Game style father, right?"

In the grand scheme of things what decisions have the heroes of RWBY made that have even a little shown them to be a match for Salem's forces? Before there were human/faunus villains, the heroes seems cool and legit. Now with the villains added and they're dealing with more the demonic animals with limited intelligence, the heroes seems.... unprofessional. Unreliable. Weak. They're not stupid by any means. But they make dumb mistakes. And it costs lives.

I'm tired of watching the episodes so much but I can't figure out how to fix anything. It's like it's air tight. The villain are just better in every way and it's going to stay that way for a long time. All it takes is a hand full of villains to bring whole towns to their knees. And if you bring how they could do things better then the fans says "apparently there's nothing they could have done" since the writers set up the ground work to make sure no wiggle room is gained over Salem.

It's like the reverse of every other sci-fi or fantasy show. Most times the heroes win and sometimes lose. Or sometimes they win too much. But we have a show with the guts (I guess) to make the heroes often lose. Almost like in Avatar series. But I don't think that's wise. It's hard to watch. And in the end, when they do finally find victory, it may feel empty because the road leading to that sweet V would be paved with the blood of the common people and any co-stars that die along the way. Likely due to negligence.
