Adam Taurus could have been so much more according to his character song

Apperantly the RWBY fandom hates adam taurus and after that humiliation thing in vol 5 he really let me down but god his character song shows that he could have been soo much more.

If they’d make him like his character song suggests he’d be so much better?

I mean, we know Adam’s goal is to make humans basically slaves to the faunus and the fact that only now we get a real reason on why he’s that extreme and what his past is semi like is a real fucking shame and the song shows us a lot of what his characters was supposed to be? But they trampled all over that? It’s like it’s his character draft and the version we have now is a watered down one

Surrounded by weaklings Pathetic and oppressed Satisfied to gnaw on scraps Afraid to leave the nest

This part fits the Adam as he is quite well, he believes he’s the only one who can lead the faunus and everyone else is too weak or afraid to really step up.

You'll see I'm their hero I'll be lionized I have the strength to do what's needed Unify our people with no compromise

 I Love this last bit “unify our people with no compromise”, this would have been such an amazing thing to have seen on this show? But we only get other character’s views on how the white fang will definitely follow him until volume 5 where he loses their loyalty by, you know, murdering half of them?? They made him kill faunus, the very people his entire character has been about bc?? they wanna show he has rage issues i guess? Just throw his goddamn motivation outta the window people!

Champion of truth until they recognize Lead them to salvation and regain our lives

Look at that, Adam wants the faunus to “regain their lives” this guy’s entire life’s been about that. Is it a god/hero complex too?? Yes it is!! The show basically took his god complex and made that defining character trait his only one (beside his obsession with Blake)

Behold your flaccid leaders Too weak to take the prize Replace them with a warrior It's time we mobilize Depose the feeble cowards Heed this battle cry Vengeance on the human filth The time is now, we'll rise!

His entire goal, summed up in this part, get the “coward leaders” out of the way and lead his people to vengeances (and justice according to his point of view) but instead of doing that, he spends more resources on Blake than his life goal? I understand that his obsession with her is a defining trait it’s there so that Blake can have a connection with this villain, their encounters have much more weight this way. And him making wrong decisions influences by his hatred/obsession with Blake isn’t the part that’s wrong, it’s that he only ever seems to make wrong decision because of it. They want him to be an ineffectual leader, that’s fine, plenty of good villains aren’t at their best in a leadership position I just think it would have been a lot more powerful and fitting if some of those reasons actually stemmed from his actual motives. *spoilers!!* they could have made him more obsessed with the SDC, he was already pretty hateful of them but the fact is, he sees Weiss and does not care?? for some reason? His hatred for the SDC is not truly shown, it’s maybe mentioned that the white fang seem to focus more on SDC since he stepped up as leader but that’s just weak. And again, him killing faunus and not really caring about it is so out of character, you might argue that his descent into madness is a result but the implication is that his descent is from the humiliation and Blake but it’s never suggested killing his fellow faunus is a big reason as well?

I am the path to reclamation This world will have no peace 'til our dream's realized No mercy no compassion our fate's justified Time to turn the table on who's tyrannized

The one thing RWBY did so fucking well is the scar reveal, it was chilling, it showed us a lot of his motivation in basically half a second and the timing was good as well, though they could have alluded to his past earlier to establish his motivations. They obviously didn’t because in his never ending quest for blake revenge, it didn’t really fit in anywhere yet, if they’d made his character more about his fight for the faunus there would have been an opportune moment for this much earlier but well.

Long story short: Altho adam’s an abuser and he has now fully descended into madness I truly do stan a problematic fave, don’t care what anyone else thinks about that BUT realise he could have been so much more

Important tweets of me trying to delve into my own psyche for yet another fake man

U know those eps of shows where characters get caught in their Dream Realities or some type of matrix situation, and maybe one of the gang can break out? That would be me bc I break myself out all the time, I dream deep but I'm halfway cognizant of it usually, and when things turn into a nightmare I'm like, time to go
