While I kinda buy more of the 'Mercury (accidently?) killing his father, and burned his house down in the process' theory, I'm surprised nobody considered that since Merc's dad was a drunkard, he'd probably wouldn't have been a gotten himself and his family into a car accident, which Cinder would find Mercury being the only survivor.

   I'm not saying that the 'car accident' theory is more probable than the 'killed daddy, and burned the house' theory, I'm just wondering why I haven't seen anyone considered the 'car accident' theory.

Also, I know about RWBY story, is shifting towards a darker tone. Even if I didn't read Gray's recent RT "RWBY Viewer Descetion" Journal Entry, I would expect RT to push to darker and more dramtic parts of the RWBY story, much like they did with the Red vs. Blue series, good example being Season 13.

Though do you really they'd go that far as to show, or at least imply that Mercury simply kill his father. To me, a car accident should be enough to be a dark moment for RWBY, though maybe in the future, RWBY will go into darker murderous theme's, but right now, it's just the beginning, or at least, the end of the beginning.

Gotta go now. Thoughts? ^_^
