Alright, let's be realistic: What good show would just throw their best ultimate villain at us in just two seasons? Did Breaking Bad reveal Gus in season 1? No there were smaller villains that, although intimidating in their own right, built up to him. Another example, RvB: O'Malley was the villain for 5 seasons, sure, but he too was soon overshadowed by the Director, The Meta, and Gamma.

So Cinder might be the main immediate antagonist at the moment, it doesn't mean she is THE big bad. You claim to be an author, surely you would know something about character build-up and foreshadowing...Queen *cough*.

And I really don't think anybody will die gruesomely in this obviously PG show. Injured? Sure. Maimed? Probably not.

And Miles and Kerry help write the show, so I don't think we should give Monty that much credit.
