As far as we have been told, the astumbledaacrossthe good, RWBY and JNPR are good, the WF are fallen heroes, and Cinder is evil. But is that really the case? We lack something incredibly important, Cinder's motive for her actions. Without that, we are left with only the actions to go on.

However the soundtrack makes a few references.

THIS WILL BE THE DAY-

WE ARE LIGHTNING/STRAYING FROM THE THUNDER/MIRACLES OF ANCIENT WONDER

So our nominal heroes are the representatives of the legends of old.

SACRIFICE -

ALL YOUR FAITH IN ANCIENT WAYS/HAVE LEFT YOU TRAPPED INSIDE A MAZE

This suggests that maybe those heroes are so trapped in their traditional thinking, that there is a better answer to the problem, and refuse to even consider there might be one.

 SHOW THEM GODS AND DIETIES/BLIND AND KEEP THE PEOPLE ON THEIR KNEES

The hunters give people figures to respect and be grateful for. To feel protected by, and unwilling to question. Think about it, in universe, we hear the legend of Jaunes grandfather, who is widely reveared even decades after he fought. And the  look at us. All we have to go on is that Summer Rose was a huntress  who gave her life to the cause, and look how much we are fixated on her...

Is Cinder truely evil? Or has she stumbled across the better way, and trying to enact it, only to be blocked by those who follow the traditional path? Has she been forced to challenge the system, degrading her reputation for the sake of doing whats right?

And is Team RWBY really the heroes? They desire to help people, but there is a old saying: The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
