So, are you saying the abusive ex thing wouldn’t be an issue if it was a thing from Day 1?
Ah DMC 2013. Most hated thing on the Internet 2013 and probably one of the reasons DMC 5 exists and is the way it is.
I remember there being a moment where Vergil in that game cements himself as...not pro life.
Actually I think if he was established to be abusive, the Gaston if you will, then his character wouldn't be the biggest problem of what happened to him in the story. But we're stuck here, where an extremist for faunus rights is reduced to being a whiny incel with a sword.
Yet it still was better than Devil May Cry 2.

“#CJs2Cents: Here's my final 2 cents before #RWBY7 & the most relevant one leading to the Atlas arc. If our heroes win in Atlas, then our villains look even more pathetic, including Salem. But, if our heroes lose in Atlas, then they show they can't beat Salem when she tries.#RWBY...
The whole thread is worth a read, but the first tweet is a pretty good TL;DR. And this guy’s RWBY takes are really good and my friends love em.

Eh, I’d say that Cinder could be forgiven had she been focused on the hate boner that blinded her instead of that being thrown to the wayside. But his point still makes sense: whichever side loses will forever be painted as a joke.
An evil alliance consisting of Team Rocket (Just Jesse James and Meowth not the greater organization), Robbie Rotten, Rex and Weevil, Zorak and Moltar, the Pilaf Gang, Shocker, Dr Light after he was lobotomized, Condiment King, Swiper, Bulk and Skull, the incarnation of the Shredder from the 1987 cartoon, Waspinator, Chris Chan, Dr Doofenshmirtz, Cobra Commander, Andrew Dobson, Skeletor, General Hux, Wiley Coyote, Darksydephil, Dr Drakken, The Monarch, Every Atop The Fourth Wall Villain, and Brianna Wu would be a more credible threat than Any of Rwby's villains acting on their own
Yes. Maybe with a bit more angst.
Only if they went for the dark comedy route and established Adam as a(n intentional) joke character who's a virgin with rage. A plot point could be that all the alleged discrimination against the Faunus is bullshit and that the White Fang's campaign of terrorism is just part of Adam's master plan to finally get laid. In the end he's so desperate for pussy, he's just one French accent and 'tard fetish away from being a Faunus JF.
Oh absolutely. The second they threw in that he was Blake's abusive ex out of quite literally nowhere at the end of Volume 3 Adam's character was done. It didn't make any sense and completely swerves away from all the build up Adam had up to that point. It's a disappointment cause I absolutely love the ideas of Adam being like family to Blake.
Wait why was Adam there anyways? I can’t remember why.
Adam was leading the White Fang in attacking Beacon.
And then Volume 4 showed Menagerie...woof.
Oh yeah the absolutely horrible, destitute, filthy, grueling...... tropical resort with perfect weather and a peaceful society of happy people.
And Blake’s parents being the hippie dad and the loving mother (that everyone considers top tier MILF material).
And not just that. Blake's parents aren't just both loving her dad is CHIEF OF MENAGERIE. They live in a giant house on a tropical island away from human discrimination and that means Blake literally left her happy home to go join a terrorist group. Volume 4 screwed up Blake's entire storyline so much...
Yeah I like Milfdonna but Blake's family shouldn't have been a thing in the first place
At the very least, make it like she was adopted by the Chief and she ran away because she thought that Adam had the right idea (at first).
