Just because Pietro has some success in his life doesnt change his role in the show. He cant do anything that is threatening. Nothing threatening to the audience or the characters. He is a generic sweet old man who make dancing shoes that force you to dance in his spare time. No one watching the show wants tk be him. No one is saying hes the greatest in an online poll of the new characters. Nothing about him you dont get better from Ironwood or Ozpin.

When i say attractive i mean as people idolize him, the audience respects him. He cant so anything that wows anyone. Hes kind. Ok. Hes a saint helping the less fortunate. Thats fine. Hes got labs and money. Great. You know who has all that and still pull their weight in the story as a high flying acrobatic hero that people look up to? Ironwood, Weiss, winter and Ozpin.

He could have had all the things you name AND been young and virile and a combatant. But no. Hes so overly giving he gives up his time, his money and his life. I dont care if the faunus represent the disenfranchised and downcast. Helping them doesnt negate that his is a sickly leg chair ridden old man who is only helpful but giving up all he has to others. I know hes kind by how much Maria gushed over him when he showed up. What else does he got. Is being super nice his only trait. People equate him to Santa Claus. But hes not. Hes suppose to be a whole person. A human. Not a saint. Not a doormat. Not a parent that gives and gives. Thats not respectful in my book. Thats just a servant. A person who does nothing but help everyone else. Giving till it hurts. As he has done. With no goal other than to die continuing to do that.

The show is about young spunky teens saving the world. All the adults are just afterthoughts. And amongst them a sickly old man who can only build is less than an afterthought.

But hey, RT, prove me wrong. Show him doing something that knocks my socks off. Does he have a detective mind? Can he hack? Can he beat Watts at his own game? If he does anything that is cool before the season is over, ill take it all back. But i doubt that will happen.

Theres no benefit for the writers to make a hero anything more than what we have with thw main characters. Because thats what people want. They dont care about any other types. As prove when loads of media. Hes not an old blind samurai. Hes a useless doting old man.
