* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Initially depicted as the sort of blowhard braggart who would seem to exemplify the saying \\\"Those who can\\\'t [do], teach,\\\" he is shortly revealed to be quite insightful into Weiss\\\'s situation, and later on shown to be mentoring a student hunter team in the field. Though he is not shown fighting directly, it is clear he has to have some level of actual abilities in that regard to be able to keep his job as an instructor.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Oobleck\\\'s initial depiction is as an eccentric teacher, similar to Peter Port\\\'s, with the implication that he is all talk and no action. Even when he\\\'s out in the field with Team [=RWBY=], he declines to engage the Grimms, letting them do all the work because he feels that employing his powers of observation is more important in the long run than engaging in physical combat. However, when the chips are down, he turns out to be every bit as strong a fighter as the rest.

The kids were being kids in viewing teachers as doing the kind of job kids can\\\'t respect, but nothing in their portrayal suggested the audience should think they\\\'re anything other than experienced huntsmen. Port\\\'s insightful handling of Weiss happened in his introduction episode (it was just split across two weeks) and his weapon and unleashing a Grimm on brand new first years occurred in the first half of the episode anyway. Oobleck was introduced as a verbal badass in his introductory episode, the fanbase responding accordingly.

It\\\'s only my experience, but most RWBY forums I\\\'ve seen have been expecting all the teachers to be badass hunters since they\\\'re responsible for teaching the next generation to protect humanity.
