@ Lucas: Don't get worked up. This is a thread for trying to find weaknesses in characters and improving on them. We have to be blunt. Yang's got a ways to go. And I don't make OCs. I don't even pretend that this character I came up with will be in the show. He's just an example of what I'm talking about needs to change in the show. Forget him if you want. It could be anyone, it doesn't have to be him. SOMEONE, ANYONE, IN THE SHOW HAS TO BECOME MORE PROFESSIONAL AND INTELLIGENT WHEN DEALING WITH SALEM. Oz dropped the ball. Put that bitch in retirement. Now put a new, smarter, more proactive person in charge. Ironwood was a musclehead and is getting paranoid so not him.

@ Maki: I don't want the villains dumber, I want them to be less OP and flawless. Name one weakness the villains have other than overconfidence......Go ahead.... I'll wait. And I have agreed with what yall are saying. I don't want asspulls. I don't want things to be easy. I don't want the show to be a short series. And I think Cinder is sexy, but too evil morally for me to ever be okay with even fantasizing about her. She crossed a line. I bet good money some of those Grimm brought to Vale kill kids and babies. The scene with a Grimm climbing a building and the people stuck up there waving a HELP signs was heartbreaking. All the T and A and sultry voices and hair over one eye in the world won't make me fuck Cinder after that. Hmm, weakness's the villains have...well the obviously have no love for each-other rather hell if it weren't for Salem, I doubt any of them would even be in the same room together.

Adam has a single-minded obsession with Blake that could easily get him in trouble if she used that against him.

Tyrian is so utterly devoted to Salem, that he fucking broke when she said the word "disappointed" plus he has a sadistic side and penchant for being over the top which allows people to get the better of him, Qrow clocking him the face, Ruby cutting of his tail and riping him a new asshole all in one smooth motion.

Merc, sure his legs are his most powerful weapon, but he obviously relies on them way to much in fact his fighting style is almost all kicking,. Take those legs away, cripple them, lock them in place or get him off balance and well...he goes down just like anybody else.

Emerald has that one-sided devotion thing going on with Cinder, which gives her a pretty big blind-spot, plus she relies on deception more then anything when fighting...find away to think around it or catch her before she can weasel her way into your mind, and boom there you go.

Hazel and Watts are unknowns, though I don't think Watts is much of a fighter.

Lionheart is a coward...probably wouldn't even need to fight him if enough force was shown.

And Cinder...she's missing an arm, an eye and her voice. Use that, sure she's powerful but she has literal blind-sides, so hit her where you know she's weak. Hell she can't even call for help if it's needed. Plus Ruby's Eleventh Hour Super Power, cuts through her like a hot knife through butter.

Then we have Salem, the big bad, the anti Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West though I doubt she'll be taken down by a bucket of water. She exudes cold clear confidence...and honestly to take her down your going to need something more powerful than Silver Eyes, or Maiden's gifts. I Imagine a Relic would work...perhaps one that turned the YELLOW sands of Vacuo into a red DEATH.
