There's plans for around 8 volumes; realistically, members of team RWBY aren't in danger of dying until we reach the final season. As far as the villains being invincible, well, Roman is dead now, and while he wasn't an impressive fighting, Ruby had taken a beating from Neo before she was thrown off the ship. Emerald's having second thoughts (and she was Cinder's trump card for pretty much the entire season), and well, Ironwood's apparent death was a fakeout.
Cinder realistically should curbstomp Jaune, she would curbstomp him even without the power of the fall maiden. I'm not even sure why you included Amber; killing a comatose person is not an achievement worth bragging about.

You're actually trying to argue that Yang, one of the main characters and fuel for ships, is going to die of bleeding out...(there's not even any blood...)...Man.
Honestly, this just sounds like you're uncomfortable because the bad guys are winning...which is kinda of the point, you're not supposed to like these turn of events. You're supposed to feel dread and sadness.
None of the main characters have really made any effort towards stopping Cinder's group and by the time they knew what was up, it was kind of too late to do anything. There's nothing wrong with a show having competent villains that actually can back up their threats. Darkness before Dawn, yadda yadda.

Roman the worst fighter, when you get that? Blake lost to torchwick, weiss lose to not-leatherface in the most WTF manner and Neo Handle Yang ass in the fight.
The main problem is not that it came to quick, is that it did TOO LATE, Avatar take one season to going dark(or at least more epic in scale) Steven universe didnt take much ether, season 2 feel like it should be a little bit darker but it wasnt, with the girl trumping Roman in very turn and plan been fooled without any scenes of dread.
Also, Cinder plan this season is....do nothing, I meant she just way the right fight(that she rigged) and take RWBY of the fight and them move out with Penny vs Phyrra(which is clearly a late additon on her part)is only now the plan is coming.
the show have tease darkness from the star, is just they take to long to get there but alas, here we are now.

I do have to say, after this season, our heroes had BETTER be more proactive; Villains Act, Heroes React makes sense when the heroes are the legitimate authority and the villains are acting from the shadows, but now that any pretenses of subtly have been dropped, it's going to be annoying as hell if we go back to the same Slice of Life punctuated by plot we had back before season 3.

The only real problem I had with the series getting progressively darker before is that prior attempts ended with the girls ultimately triumphing in the end. It wasn't that bad in Season 1, but its pretty laughable at how anticlimactic the ending to Season 2 was and I'll be annoyed as fuck if the same happens here too.

Speak fromo yourself, I have enjoy this episode so far...granted as Droy said, is to easy to care about the villians in this show

Yeah, I think the same.
Also, I think Matt from recap is going to be so pissed after Roman got eaten.

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"@Unknowing: I'm not sure it (the tone shift) came too late; while the show has been around for a while in real time, the actual runtime isn't all that much given the short episode length compared to the number of episodes in a season.
It seems pretty clear, particularly in the early episodes, that the script was written with a 30 minute timeslot (which is what, 23 minutes of show when you don't count commercials) in mind, (which Monty presumably couldn't get) which would make all of season 1 about 3 episodes, followed by approximately 5 episodes for season 2, and another 4 episodes to bring us up to episode 9 of volume 3; that's 12 episodes in for a TV show with a 30 minute timeslot, which is maybe halfway through a season in American TV terms.

Rewatching the episode, it's hilarious how Roman's death came out of nowhere. What made it even more hilarious and awesome was how Ruby just stomp kicked its head into explosion. Holy Shit, Ruby was just all sorts of badass and heroic in this episode, this was the first time she really earned that main character title since Season 1 Ep 8 and Season 2 Ep 4.
Also, freaking Neo. Even her exit is stylish as hell.
By the way, the opening tracking shot battle was absolutely Monty Oum-level epic.
I have a problem with Velvet's weapon, btw. I don't have a problem with it transforming into every character's weapon. What I DO have problem with, however, is how that it also gives her the skills to wield them too. Come on.
Lastly, ADAM! FUCKING ADAM!! Seriously, has anyone here didn't expect him to be obsessed with Blake? My God, him cutting Yang's arm off was so freaking awesome!
Good episode. This is like season 2 finale that we deserved.

maybe, but a least, there is have been two arcs asothers have said it, come cross as anti-climatic seen how the heros gettin away so easly after all it happen. breach should be a show of what would happen next with the grimm, instead it become a joke.
In fact, I dont know if you see but a lot of episode here seen to be author savior throw about stuff of 2 season.

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"@D Roy: Coco implied her copied weapons are one time usage and she has to take pictures again to use them.
Watch SymphogearThere's a good chance that is part of her Semblance, meaning she wouldn't retain those skills afterwards.
Depending how it works Velvet can be a "Jack of all trades, Master of none".

I already got the Shirou version covered ten pages back.
Faunus is my body, and Aura is my blood
I have taken over a thousand pictures
Unaware of FNDM, Nor aware of my accent
Withstood Grimm to create hype, waiting for the opportune moment
I have my photographs. Coco said now is the time
My whole life was Unlimited Velvet Works
Although
that one is probably better than mine. And that's fairly accurate, if you're going for EMIYA.

I think I finally realized what my main problem is with the Cerebus Syndrome.
Its happening too fast and too sloppily. Cinder and co have always had an obnoxious tendency to work around any hinderances the good guys give them, but now its just gotten to the point of absurdity. Literally everything has gone perfectly for them and they've never had any real damage dealt to them. Literally every time it looks like the good guys get the upper hand, it either turns out that the good guys' actions were exactly what Cinder planned on ("Fall"), or their efforts fail miserably, usually due to the villains pulling new powers out of their asses (Emerald swiping Crescent Rose, Roman, who was easily the worst fighter of the villains, suddenly curbstomping Ruby without even blinking, and Cinder effortlessly taking out Jaun and Amber, among others).
As for going too quickly, the show seems to be of the mind that Darker and Edgier means piling on tragedy after tragedy and making all the heroes' actions meaningless. Hell, I'm amazed that so many people actually assume Yang will survive long enough to get a prosthetic. We have no idea where Blake teleported them, for all we know, it was on the complete opposite end of town, so there's a very good chance she's going to bleed out. And let's not forget that Blake got stabbed right through the abdomen, so there is a very good chance that she'll end up bleeding out as well long before help arrives.
