3.2) Which is factually and objectively wrong with the entire show as proof of how wrong you are

3.3) But that's the WF, not Adam individually. Adam has the power, speed and skill to mow down groups of mooks. Anyone tries to shoot, he blocks that and gets stronger. Anyone at melee range who isn't Blake, Sun or Ilia, he just slices them because they're afraid of even puny bullets hitting their shields while Adam gives no fucks. And the moment a few start going down the rest just panics.

3.4) Back in Volume 1, when the complains about RWBY being generic and cliché were at their apex (IIRC Anime News Network even outright refused to call RWBY anime from how shamelessly cliché it was).

3.6) If you think the shots fired by faceless mooks with weaksauce generic guns are even remotely comparable to those fired by the main characters with their customized weapons, you have never seen this show at all.

3.7) You are assuming it makes him dumb "because it works like painkillers". If you're so certain of it, where was it stated that it makes him dumb?

4) Yeah, now look at the Neon/Flynt vs Yang/Weiss fight. Yang went after Neon, Weiss went after Flynt. Flynt keeps pushing Weiss back, Yang can't land a hit on Neon. They were perfectly capable of switching foes, but they never did. They were perfectly capable of going 2-on-1 or just helping each other, but they didn't.

5.1) So I guess that for all your talk about how RWBY "is all about imagination", you cannot imagine something as simple as that.

5.2) Which it would never do, because Aura protects in all directions while it's up. If Hazel saw a tree going down in his direction he would keep his Aura up, especially if it's more than one tree. And since he would know Adam's still there, he wouldn't turn it off just for a few fallen trees.

5.3 Adam, meanwhile, would end up spending quite the amount of energy to do that. Energy that he could've used on an actual attack on Hazel instead, potentially causing decent damage. 1. Then enlighten me how a scythe is better than a sword for cutting down a tree - it isn't. The reason tree's are taken down is from repetition and multiple chops/rips. In the RWBY Universe it's just a fucking thing. It's rule of cool. And everyone in RWBY is capable of that.

3. Actually, you're ignoring the point. Numbers matter - even in these scenario's.

A-E. The numbers don't match. Adam would be fighting more than the faunus. Adam shines in narrow passages and against melee, as is shows in the volume 6 trailer.

3.2/3.3 And yet, canonically, ADAM RAN FROM THEM ALL. Clearly he couldn't take them all - numbers and semi-trained fighters.

3.4 If you don't have a source to point me to directly I'm not gonna believe you. I don't see it through Google or listed in his quotes. It matches him - don't get me wrong - but I just don't recall him saying that and I've listened to a lot of his stuff.

3.6 Says the guy who apparently hasn't seen the show at all. We've seen their bullets do damage when not deflected or dodged.

3.7 Motherfucker, I've cited my source. He used his semblance, he started acting less intelligently and more (your wording) berserk. Anger = Comprimised = Stupider. They don't have to flat out say he's acting with less intelect. We see it.

4. This show is based on imaginative fights. Look at Cinder v Phyrra, Neo v Cinder, Nevermore vol 1, the semblances as a whole, etc etc.

5.1 Oh, I can imagine it. And it breaks character. You're arguing possible vs probable here, and it's possible for him to dodge, but not '''probable. '''

5.2 Yeah, because he's never lost focus mid-combat and turned off his aura, before.

5.3 Don't argue potential damage now when you've been arguing how useless his attacks would be.
