I didn't mean what you said. I don't want it to be like the anime where the villain is ridiculously powerful and the protagonists lose a ton of times and then finally win once or like the comic books, either.

My problem is, there are people who don't take the grimm seriously because so far, the grimm have not seemed like an actual threat. They were played up to be these apocalypse-bringing monsters, and then they're more often than not quickly and easily slain by hunters in training.

There are also people who don't take the villains quite so seriously because they haven't been able to win any battles. They either lose or run away. It doesn't help that Team RWBY completely annihilated the Paladin. Most people refuse to stop and think about the fact that the Paladin is intended to be used against stupid mindless grimm, not people with specialized weapons and tactical prowess.
