Actually, when you say "cursed to watch" it reminds me of a refrence to a really old story of the Wandering Jew (for those unfimiler with said story, it's one of the more obscure myths from the Middle Ages), the story goes that a guy spat at the cross not long after the crucifixion of Jesus and he was cursed to wander the world, immortal and always watching his loved ones die. So my question is, do you think they intentionally made that refrence or it's just a happy coincidince?

This said, it's been theorized that Ozpin, Goodwitch, Port and Cinder were at one point on a team. To me, when he mentions his many failures, it would stand to reason that clearly Cinder is among these failures as she does odviously become evil-ish (I personaly believe that we don't have the evidince to say she's fully evil.) at some point, and based on Goodwitch's facial expressions during the fight in episode 1, there is clearly a look is distaste on her face, which makes me wonder if they've had a falling out.

Now let's get creative here and say that Ozpin is immortal, how did he become immortal? I'm going to go out on a limb and look at Norse mythology and say it was a magical apple that grants immortality AND etenral youth. Another possible answer is more of an exageration than myth, but notice how Ozpin is always drinking (presumablely) coffee, sciene shows that it's actually very good for the human body and that a cup or two a day can extend life by a few years, odviously, the creators are exagerating with this one.
