Hey thanks for reminding me Soble
DAFUQ WUZ WITH THE CREATION OF PENNY!? By their physics, they played God and made a person! At least humor that with a For Science! answer!
I mean, Ironwood has Stubble Of Sorrow, so I'm guessing he feels bad about the whole thing.
We never met Penny's father either.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!I think the implication with Penny is that she's either a Replacement Goldfish of her father's, or her father managed to make a Soul Jar for his daughter.
Which doesn't say much about the man himself, only what some people expected.
Harry hated Snape because he was an asshole, and their animosity toward each other continued even after it was blatantly shown Snape was on their side. Ironwood had actually shown himself to be reasonable and explained his feelings to Glynda.
Due to the breach, which was partly on Ozpin's decision to send Team RWBY and Oobleck to investigate.
Ozpin then proceeded to give zero shits about that and told Ironwood to send in his army. We also don't have the full story about Penny other than she was supposed to save the world.
How much did we actually know about Atlas by he was introduced? By the end of Volume 2? By the end of Volume 3? Like you said, just because the SDC had problems doesn't mean the entire kingdom did. What's more how do we know Ironwood shared those same beliefs.
Actually, when Pyrrha completely and utterly destroyed Penny's body in front of millions, we briefly saw some sort of professor looking dude devastated at what happened. He is likely Penny's father/creator.
Oh, there's no way Penny's story is over. It's not like Pyrrha just getting into the main plot and being clearly killed by the (current) major villain - far too much of Penny was implied yet unknown. She was definitely not some simple Mauve Shirt.
...That being said, it might not be as significant as one could imagine. But it certainly isn't over.
I actually think Sun will be fine with Adam, given that he's Sun Wukong and Adam is a bull. It's the mythological showdown I've been feeling ever since both characters established and so on. Bull Demon King vs. Sun Wukong. The fight is inevitable. Plus you could have Blake and him fight Adam together, which would coincide with her character arc that she's not alone and can rely on those around her.

Improving as an author, one video at a time.Admittedly, having Sun punk Adam because you can't reflect shotgun blasts, bitch would be hilarious.
...I just wanna see the gunchucks in action again. <.< Blake & Sun v. Torchwick is still one of my favorites because of the gunchucks.
I expect that some people would go rabid if he does anything but get himself maimed/killed (coughcoughbumblebeecoughcough).

As do I, but my genuine feelings are that they shouldn't be catered to. You can't please everybody, so the writers will have to pick their battle there. I hope they stick to what's been developing since season 1 instead of caring about that part of the fanbase because it's consistent with everything in place so far.

Well, yeah, kind of. It's a small part, not a clear sign.
havehad more characters in darker colors that we trust and like in some capacity next to characters in lighter colors.)I don't know what others thought about him but I was suspicious of him. Heck, I'm still a little suspicious of Team Ozpin's role in all of this. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop and we learn Cinder/Salem's group actually is fighting against The Masquerade, or something. History written by the victors and all that. Not to say they're heroes but it's not as simple as "Ozpin was fighting against Salem the shapeshifting master of darkness!"
It's not clear-cut evidence that should guarantee some villain trope be put on Ironwood's page, but I don't think he deserves Big Good or anything above Lawful Neutral either.
