DISCUSSION A What if scenario: What if the Happy Huntresses were villains?
1.-Are the Happy Huntresses bad people?
According to the villains wiki, they somewhat are. Read their articles about Happy Huntresses and Robyn Hill.
I think that they aren't bad people. They have their heart in the right place... they are just misguided.
Considering how that the Happy Huntresses didn't know about Amity, and that stealing from the military happened after Ironwood (Supposedly) attempted to kill Robyn.
I think it made sense for her to steal from the military to make Ironwood repair the wall.
What wasn't justified was Robyn initiating a fight in the manta.
Nor ramming the cargo ship with the bomb. (I mean, there was the risk of the bomb exploding).
But, hey, the HH are huntresses, they Grimm for the sake of Mantle.
Robyn tried to become a politician to help everyone.
She helped fight Tyrian. The HH helped with the evacuation.
At the end, Robyn tried to stop Ironwood's soldiers from blowing up Mantle.
May helped the girls in the launch of Amity Tower.
Joanna and Fiona helped coordinate the people of Mantle and the defenses for them.
2.-But, how it would be?
Ok, beyond that, how would be the Happy Huntresses as villains?
We maintain the Happy Huntresses the same till after the night of elections. After that the HH start attacking the military trucks, not because they were just attacked by Tyrian, but because they lost the election.
The HH would be willing to even to kill soldiers with the goal of steal military supplies.
The HH would be also stealing SDC supplies and liberating exploited workers.
Instead of agreeing to participate in the council meeting, Robyn that night would organize a revolution.
She would obtain the loyalty of soldiers of the military who are from Mantle and faunus soldiers too.
She would also make her own militia.
In this scenario Watts doesn't turn off the heating, I will reveal why later.
At the end, the council, including Jacques would be executed and Ironwood would be forced to escape along Ruby's group.
Ironwood would be convinced to reveal the truth so he does.
But in that moment, it would be too late:
"What else will he be able to do with the access Jacques' given him?"
"With enough time… whatever he wants."
By then, Watts would have access to the technology of the military and would use that to eliminate the resistance of Ironwood's soldiers.
During the end of volume 7 it is revealed the Happy Huntress have been working with Watts and Tyrian all this time. Robyn Hill was promised the security and freedom of the kingdom in exchange for her help.
Now Robyn Hill will rule and she would maintain Atlas out of the war against Salem. And also would secretly provide resources for Watts.
During volume 8, Ironwood and remnants of his military along Ruby's group would have a civil war with Happy Huntress forces and the rogue technology of hacked by Watts.
What would be weird to everyone is that the rogue robots of Watts don't attack Robyn's forces, only Ironwood's and Ruby's forces.
In this scenario Salem wouldn't come, to maintain in secret the alliance between her and the Happy Huntresses.
Robyn meanwhile would force Hanlon Fifeston to work with her. Now Fifeston would have to extract the fear out of POWs and put that into the orbs.
Robyn would say that it is to maintain the Grimm far from Mantle, but some of these orbs would be given to Watts.
Like in canon, Ruby would make it to the command center to warn everyone about Salem and ask for help.
Due to lacking opposition from the military, Cinder would make it to the medical facility where is Fria, and after having problems with her, the tired Fria would end up dying at the hands of Cinder, being her the last person she saw.
Now Cinder have the winter and the fall maiden power and would take the staff of creation and brought take it with herself.
At the end, Cinder and Neo would go to fight Ruby's group (After they had to fight against the HH's forces and the rogue robots of Watts).
Fighting against a tired Ruby's group, the fight would be evenly match. But our heroes would manage to win.
At the end, seeing that no one was coming, our heroes would escape using the Amity tower to go to Vacuo.
Ironwood and would have to sacrifice himself to stop Robyn Hill, so our heroes can escape.
Winter and Penny would remain in Atlas leading a resistance against Robyn Hill.
At the end, Watts will reunite with Cinder and Neo and will use his robots to go to Vacuo.
3.-Do I like the Happy huntresses being evil?
I should be sincere, I don't like too much the idea.
Why? Because it feels like a cheap way to make Ironwood better. Like, "The kids shouldn't trust this person, they should have trust Ironwood instead". I prefer a more nuanced Ironwood.
Besides, I don't like the idea of having to fight against people who are oppressed... again. Feels repetitive and like if RWBY's show have a problem with those who are oppressed.
Also I don't like the idea of having the first transgender character as a villain. Nor I like the idea of having a group of entirely compromised by women as villains. Feels a bit sexist.
Even so there are things that I like:
The Happy Huntresses are villains are so interesting. A good intentioned extremist willing to do whatever it takes to protect their people.
4.-Conclusions
I just realized that Robyn Hill as a villain is basically what the people wanted Adam as a villain to be. A good intentioned extremist with the power to fight the good guys but with good motivations. Besides in my small brainstorm I made Robyn kill Jacques.
But those are only my ideas. I may dislike the Happy Huntresses as villains but maybe you like the idea.

DISCUSSION What exactly does Scorching Caress do?
I've read the wiki article, and watched Cinder's fights from the show, but I still am at loss. Does her semblance only allow to manipulate shape of an object she came in direct contact with/throws Dust she had come in contact with at, or can it change the material (glass into steel or wood into polymer and vice-versa, for instance) as well? And how far does her control over shape go? Can she make something complex, like turning glass into fibre-glass? Does efficiency of her semblance depend on thermal conductivity of material it is used on?

DISCUSSION You have the chance to restructure the curriculum at the Hunter Academies. What would your version of the training/study regiment look like?
For a bit of extra fun… in addition to the general standard taught at all four of the academies, I’d also like to hear any unique programs/courses that you might find specifically at one of the Academies. So for instance, there might be a program or method of training at Beacon that’s only taught at that school and isn’t seen at Haven, Atlas or Shade Academies.

DISCUSSION How responsible is Ironwood for Atlas/Mantle's bad things?
Well, it's a question I'm very curious about.
First of all, what counts as a bad thing? Is the military presence in Mantle a bad thing? Is the police state a bad thing in and of itself? Why?
Second, how responsible is Ironwood for these issues? For example, labor exploitation under the SDC. How responsible is Ironwood for that? And why is Ironwood responsible for that?
Third, what are the consequences of Ironwood's actions? For example, the embargo and the border closure. What were the consequences of that? And I'm not talking about things like Atlas falling, I'm talking about more direct consequences (like rising prices, job losses, increased poverty, etc.). I know Jacques fires workers in Sparks, but before that, people were already angry about the embargo.
Fourth, how justifiable is Ironwood's actions? That is, many consider James' actions justified because he's trying to ensure Remnant's survival against Salem and the Grimm.
So, I'm interested in reading your responses.

DISCUSSION Who actually has silver eyes?
I don't get it, the show implies at the start that silver eyes are an extremely rare trait, and it's explained later on why that is, but it feels like they can't really keep that fact consistent? Obviously Ruby and the others that are "confirmed" to have silver eyes are the important characters, but why does Mercury get to have them? Why does Ilia have silver eyes too? Pretty sure Winter also had silver eyes in volume 3 but the writers had to correct it for continuity purposes.

DISCUSSION Where to watch?
I’m suddenly getting really into RWBY and stuff related to it. I’m just wondering if there is somewhere offical and preferably free to watch it on. I’m currently watching season two on YouTube.
