2-If I don't see a main character that sees thru the enemies plans and says to everyone "I think I got it, heres what theyre doing!" Then im calling the whole hero cast incompetent.

3-Even lazy cops in TV shows figure out stufd eventually. And this cast has been "on the case" for months.

4-They need to gather together a new Oz faction that includes at least 15 people and all the leads better be in that 15.

5-No more blissful ignorance and feel-good episodes about stupid prom.

6-I feel like the brains to start seeing thru things would be Weiss, Blake and Ren.

7-But i guess that all depends on if the writers want to allow that. They can make up any ol' loophole that they never figure out anything no matter what season we're on.

8-Whole military staff of Atlas cant get their head outta they collective asses to find a signal of a terrorist boardcast then there is not much hope for kids figuring out the plots of genius superhuman witches. 1-You should. Unless you want to wait an eternity for the heroes to achieve, or even do, anything. Drag things on for too long, people get tired and demand resolution. And a good writer doesn't need to drag things on for long to make a good story.

2-You're jumping too far. One that sees through the whole enemy plan? Fuck no, that would make things boring and the victory would feel tasteless. Now, one that at least is aware of the plan, one that at least tries to do something (if they can)? That's more reasonable, and honestly what I expected Ozpin to do.

That said, it also depends on who is going to be the competent one. RNJR, for example, it would be bullshit if they were, because they've been out of the loop since forever. Even when Qrow told them, they still don't even know who they're really fighting.

3-Not all of them. RWBY and JNPR have been in the blind since forever. RNJR only found out about a few things. Weiss, Blake and Yang have no idea what's truly going on. Taiyang maybe knows but he was busy taking care of Yang. Raven gives no shits, period. Ghira and Kali live at the corner of the world, which didn't even have internet to begin with, so they most likely have no idea either. And so on.

The ones who really have no excuse are the Ozluminati. Oz should've known much better, yet his MO was Inaction, doing nothing. Qrow didn't do anything and Glynda was nothing but a "Yes" Woman to Ozpin. Ironwood has big trust issues, a "my Dick is bigger than yours" complex, and while he was the only one who actually did anything, he only gave Cinder and co. free weapons to wreck Vale with, without knowing.

4-2 questions: 1-Why 15, specifically? 2-What would that accomplish? The previous Ozluminati included Qrow, Glynda, Ironwood, Ozpin, and the headmasters of the other academies, + whatever people said headmasters let in on the secret.

At the very very least, that was 6, 1 of which esentially ruled the Kingdom of Atlas (2 seats in the Council + Atlesian Military + Atlas Academy). And they failed from sheer incompetency (+ at least 1 traitor).

Having more people doesn't mean things will go better for them.

5-Eh, some "feel-good" episodes could be fine. As long as they don't involve anything stupid or take too much of the Volume.

6-That's a horribly blind assumption. Blake, maybe, but only regarding the White Fang. Regarding Salem, neither Blake nor Weiss even know she exists, and Ren hasn't shown to be perceptive enough of the enemy to be able to state that.

...That said, that's when it comes to the general enemy's plans. When it comes to a specific enemy's plans, they could be more perceptive. Blake is most likely more perceptive of the WF's actions, and someone in RNJR could probably tell Lionheart isn't quite what he seems (not Ruby though, she's not aware-enough).

7-I...can't quite understand what you're trying to say here.

8-There are some speculative theories that Watts is part of the Atlesian Military, and thus he knows about the network, and where it's holes are, hence why the virus could work so easily without being detected.

...And I hope it's true, because without that, the only explanation is that the Cybersecurity of the world's biggest army (whose main weapons are machines) is nothing better than AVG.
