RWBY - Adam Short 

Or Ruby would have thought of meeting the guy who maimed her sister.

@@benjaminmcneil574 But we'll never see that, because they off'd him instead of making him a threat for all of team RWBY, more specifically Weiss (who should've been on Adam's hitlist to begin with) and went with the route of making him a cheesy abusive ex boyfriend.

@@oneangryboi408 Which was a good choice cause the fact that he died at the sametime the white fang storyline ended is a pretty good symbolic and it also allows Bale's character to move on.. Also i think what Weiss would of thought would have been ( well what else is new? ...) xD

@@tunderdiamant8651 I mean...the White Fang ended when Adam go kill his own men. This is when Adam doesn't represent anything but his own. In a sense, he is neither a human nor faunus, and became a monster, or should I say, a beast of his own.

@@tunderdiamant8651 There was a storyline?! Where? All they were was goons who was thrown around just for the sake of fighting *something* that we were never even shown besides being a feel good violence for RWBY to mess with. What faunus discrimination have we seen and not told about throughout the volumes besides a sign rejecting faunus from entering a building, bullying (that wasn't just for faunus but humans too), and some name callings? The White Fang could've been a morally grey area that would've allowed the viewers to question things in a good way. You don't need to make things black and white. They didn't need to make Adam downright evil just for the sake of...a relationship? Adam was shown to not want any tidings with humans and was *threaten* to even join up with humans. We already were shown that the earlier, peaceful version of the White Fang was a failure because of peace, so it would be interesting to see the more bloodthirsty version in practice that shown effective methods, yet not completely working because fear lasts only so long. The White Fang could've ended up with an endgame of a balance of these methods of both sides of the conflict on the faunus discrimination. They became aggressive for a reason, and Adam's brand was a solid proof of that if he didn't end up a shitty ex bf that every other cartoon show does these days. I don't know where you got that this route was a 'good choice', but if you were fine with instead for a group that had a symbolic, and potential-leading storyline that includes a character with potential as well to just end up being a character with nothing else to go for but a spoiled rotten black cat, then I fear for you.

Lyra 😂

Aw, now I have to delete my comment because it's similar to this 😂

Goddamit barb!

More like Adam "Fall" Amirite? :)

Yea, he's literally 6'4. Almost all the guys in this show are so tall.

He's both, that's the thing. I agree that the writers did Adam dirty with his story and how they followed up with it. He started off great; he really believed in his cause and used his power to fight for it, but he started going down the wrong path and was using only violence and fear in the end. I think they wanted to play it as him going mad with power, and after being humiliated at Haven by the new White Fang and losing what weak trust he had in his followers (he put them under him by fear and lies), he had nothing else to focus on except for his obession over Blake, which led him to his death. I don't believe he's the only Faunus who was actively going against the system put over him though, Blake started to after Volume 4, as did Ilia and the new White Fang ofc. Overall though they really messed up whatever message they were trying to tell with the Faunus, and it reflects off of Adam's character and him being a villain in the end, that soured his story for me for sure.

Yep, they pretty much did him dirty

He started as the fight er for his race...... Sadly.... I dont know why they completly thrown away this Character and let his Story end as the creepy stalker ex boy Friend

@@We3dCraftLP Probably because they couldn't think of a way to make him a half decent character... despite having all of the pieces in front of them. He could have joined Salem officially, made some other big attack, snuck into Atlas, maybe fight Cinder for using him, perhaps at some pivotable moment could take a fatal attack for Blake.... Something and anything than that pitiful end that they gave him.

​@@SANRIOSLAUGHTER i get the obsession park but as a crazy ex boyfriend ruined the character

Even then he easily could've shot the handle of his sword into the guys head, as we see later when he's about to execute that one guy on the ground he always killed for fun.

Blake's dad was behind a truck next to 8 guards in a show where everyone is literally bulletproof. I think he was pretty safe my dude.

mockRabbit why did the show make it seem like he wouldn’t then?

It’s more of doing the right thing for the wrong reasons deal.

@@MardonNaLou The show doesn't though. The show does nothing to indicate that anyone is in any danger in that fight. No one watching that scene was thinking "Wow Blake's dad might be in a lot of trouble here." The scene just comes off as Adam going fucking ham on dude because he was too far away, and the show lazily trying to justify it afterward.

Better funding often allows for better animation.

I still miss the old animation

Yes the outfit is mwah

I was gonna say, seeing Blake with her volume 1 style with the newer animation enhancement is incredible. I kinda wanna see them remake the first volume and touch up some of the meh scenes. Like cinder jumping on the roofs and the whole gang running through that field after the nevermore

This makes me want them to see a slight redesign of the vale designs when the team go back to vale in a later volume

Hello again

Just Some Guy without a Mustache we meet again

GODDAMMIT BARB!

ouch, that sure was painful

Well, for all of his faults, Adam does have a disarming personality.

Nico lmfaoo

This was an old short they posted on the Rooster Teeth channel. They're most likely moving their shorts and all animation stuff to here

Nico he's definitely dead no doubt about it

@@icegoldcool9932 Have you seen an animal with red fangs or something

@@user-bu3ne9yt9q a bloody fang is a red fang

>>>Anakin Skywalker

I agree.

well

Same, he’s definitely my favorite villain. His weapons are my favorite on the show so far though.

@@zackthezabarak739 these are cool yeah!

Sometimes im glad he died. Just watching how they made him a psychotic ex boyfriend was so bad.

@@MegumiKeehl fr and the thing that made me more upset was he didnt even care about blake in the first seasons when he had small appearances. Then all of a sudden he was obsessed with blake. He was honestly so misused

Adam from Volume 3 onward was just straight up character assassination. He could have been so much more.

@@Kyl0_ben eh Monty had a hand in volume 3 and they were going off his chicken scratch. I think they could’ve done many thing better with him, but based upon what Blake said about him in volume 2 goes hand in hand with a narcissistic abuser. They just struggled with the symptoms then on.

That's not an Opinion. He has obejectly much more Potential than that waste & troll we got at the end. He should have a higher goal, and should be much more OP to see a REAL Threat who everyone fears. Most of the Writers don't see their own giving Potential, cause the Majority of People aren't in that clarity state for themselfes. Only a few Individuals can see through that.

In the end though the thug was pretty much cut "Short"

What movies?

@@yuz_ha It's a saying. There isn't really a movie

Aw, thanks!

Adam Raaif Nasheed Did someone say....funky?

¡ ! Did someone say.. Funky town?

sosig Alexa, play “Funky Town”

XD

*Ya like jazz?*

If only the show went that angle, which seems to be what Monty was intended, but sadly they dived head long into abusive ex boyfriend

i mean yea its like that for everyone, except grim

No, he wasn't born a monster, but its not about what happens to you, its how you decide to let it effect you. He COULD have used his pain to try and change humanity so it sees faunus better, being a stronger voice than Ghira, but instead he chose to turn his pain into a weapon aimed at the world, first at humanity, then anyone who crosses him. Its a truly sad fate

@@Adam-yq9xe I think that they did actually go in that direction - victims of abuse often become abusers themselves, and his wanting to control Blake (and the other faunus) fits well with that, especially considering how little control he had over his own life as a faunus working for the SDC. In any case, I believe CRWBY know Monty's intentions way better than us, and Adam was set up as a person ready to take innocent lives as early as the Black trailer.

@@miapopova1030 dude no they didn't. They went head long into being an abusive boyfriend. Former animator have gone on record saying they were taking the show in directions Monty didnt intend and we know for a fact that Adam was involved in those changes since his fight in the last volume was meant for volume 3

*Marrow: :(*

Yes just ignore the fact there was a dog fanus literally _right in front of him_

mattwo7 lol don’t worry I noticed

No way I want Adam next season 8 and 9 and 10 make more season for Adam

MAGA GAME Nah he wasnt a person he was a plot device

Well, yeah, he was a minor villain with what? barely 30 minutes of screentime?

i remember a cool faunas bull villain who didn't turn into an obsessive ex boyfriend.

When was he that?

"Wasn't he that extremist villain with a cause?" "Nah he's the psycho ex bf" "Oh, what happened to him again?" "His character was slain during the ship wars, remember?" "It's hard to remember psycho exes. They're hardly villains with a cause. Now that guy from the Black trailer, I'm interested..."

Right, because he had such a defined personality in the Black trailer

Exactly, he only killed the last guy because he literally saw no other option in that moment And you can even see him regretting it before Sienna praised him

@@lonewolf9578 exactly and in a fight its do or die and I rather people do what they feel is right and in self defense its justified

And if you look closely, his attacks weren't even lethal until that last guy. Until then, it was mostly neautralization attacks.

That’s understandable, but yet we all know a bigot won’t see it that way. A bigot will do anything to to get a minority to lash out, because if a minority lashes out that’s a chance for a bigot to paint them as evil. To defeat something like racism, you have to have the control to not lash out, even when faced with violence like that. Adam could’ve easily focused on combatting their gunfire without harming any of them, which in turn would keep all of the white fang members safe whilst not desecrating their goals.

Exactly, Adam was a man that the world made evil. That's why his death is referred to as a tragedy instead of a triumph in the song Nevermore.

Pretty sure they just used the old model.

@@fortcolors9887 even if they did, it would have not taken long to add a belly button. therefore, the decision to not add must have been on purpose

@@vincentreyes4332 That's a bit of backwards logic, they more than likely forgot.

We arguing over belly buttons now?

Bruh this is funny

Miss opportunity

@@matheusdemello2323 Missed*

It's iaido.

It’s interesting that his fighting style makes him a glass cannon.

wait why did i think of the Anakin, start Panikin 😃

Yeah, even my brother who never watched RWBY at all instantly was drawn to Adam for how cool he was and after watching a video about him, but to his and my disappointment, he was completely wasted, the show never explained his backstory at all. EXCEPT that in amity arena, it has a tiny bit of info on his past, as it turns out, before ever being involved with the white fang, he used to work at the dust mines, as a slave most likely and having hopes and dreams about leaving and finding a purpose, but when he got the brand on his eye, to him it was over, the brand was a cold and brutal reminder that those hopes and dreams were nothing more but that, dreams and fantasies, since not only he’s a Faunus but also he was scarred and in a mess, the only thing that gave him a purpose was the white fang and blake, but both of those things either screwed him over or turned their back on him . The white fang in my opinion after reading that mini paragraph looked like it was giving him mixed signals at first, ghira pretty much shunned him for killing while Sienna was giving him praise , that’s already a problem even for Adam who’s probably more emotionally unstable than anyone else in the faction due to everything he probably went through in the mines, and over time, the faction became more violent and Adam became violent as well, maybe as a way to vent out the pent up anger and trauma on to the race that caused all of it, and for blake, she was the only ray of light he had, she was the beauty in his story, which makes sense given that’s the story that they’re based on, but as Adam became more violent and more cold blooded, blake just decided to leave on a mission. And yeah I know about the whole “she was abused” deal but in all honesty, it never looked or even sounded like he was abusing her, in all honesty I think he was just emotionally manipulating her. And the show never showed anything about that, while he did slap her and stab her in the gut, at the time, they were enemies who were once allies and a couple, not only that, but also you have to remember that blake pretty much abandoned him so that was also a huge motivator.

Same bro I always likes Adam unfortunately he was thrown away before we can see him really shine...guess theres only RT to blame for that.

deathshot gaming yeah, I don’t like the part where they pulled the abuser card thing, it was trash

@@santiagogarcia1606 I think Adam was something similar to what the beast would have ended up like if beauty hadn't fallen in love with him and had abandoned him when she had the chance. Of course I honestly think Adam deserved better, but I also think it would have been interesting to see that twist on the beauty and the beast. There were two cards that could have been played but one was discarded and the other wasn't played all that well, which resulted in the mess that was Adam's ending. And although Adam was made to be the villain he was a victim himself since no one really tried to help him, actually no one even realized how much he was being torn apart by everything, it would have been a nice twist to see his side of the story if he was meant to have a tragic ending from the start.

@@santiagogarcia1606 uy buena santi aragan

Dylan Biggs Even though it’s pretty much useless now lol Idek why they made a short. Only thing that matters now, is how, where, and when he got the SDC brand burned onto is fuckin’ eyeball

I mean you know his personnality and a little of his backstory tho ... If you don't then you just didn't pay attentionto the show ... We literally know more of Adam then we know of Cinder xD

¡ ! This short is older. This was made way back in chapter 5 if I remember correctly. Why they choose to Re-release it now doesn’t make sense

furuta kun if you’re suggesting what I think you are suggesting then you have gained my trust

So glad they scraped this and made him into just an abusive Boyfriend that's such a better story than this right?

How so? He shows he has several non lethal ways to take someone at range, including just shooting his sword hilt first. No, he CHOSE to kill that guy.

I can see it as a understandable reaction in the situation.

Bart Embregts I mean he could have shot him with wilt

@@tyrongkojy The guy was running and shooting towards the leader of the white fang which he almost killed so I don't think he have a enough time to knock him out.

tyrongkojy The guy was running up to Ghira with a gun in his hand ready to shoot, I’m sorry but in this instance he had to act fast no matter what, and since guy was seemingly a violent racist who just wanted to kill them for being Faunus, him giving him a taste of his Semblance is both reasonable and justified. So even if he DID chose the lethal approach he’s still in the right since when you got people who are trying to kill you sadly there’s times where you have to put them down, one way or the other, and since he was trying to kill Ghira, the leader of a group trying to help an oppressed group of people, he had to do that now, lest they lose an important leader who is helping their people, in comparison to the consequences of him dying and killing a violent racist who chose to start this whole mess to begin with, it’s clear what needed to be done. And let’s please stop acting as if killing someone who is trying to murder people in self defense somehow makes you morally equivalent to them, it doesn’t. And it’s not like he even tortured him or even made him suffer, he killed him quickly.

Red Cerberus was its name

Tomás Molina Heh. _Downfall_ I see what you did there...

Well, he did get what he deserved

@@Tw0Dots Pun greatly intended. 😁

The actual conclusion in V5 says otherwise. Y'know, the whole message about how terrorism and killing innocent people is wrong? Ring any bells?

Should have worked the terminator angle just because of how hutch hatred he has. Like he has obsessively done nothing but train to his limits then past them fuelled by his hatred and combined with his OP semblance he's a monster in combat almost no one but a maiden can bring down. When he doing cool OP stuff when was the memorable thing about him so they should have sold him purely in that light. It's an incredibly easy character to write and fits well with the strength of RWBY that's cool spectacle fighting.

Good thing fanfiction did Adam more justice than Rooster Teeth did

@@rexlumontad5644 Fanfiction does a lot of the characters justice.

Personally I would have liked to see what his and Weiss's interactions would have been like, since she's the ex-heiress to the SDC, after all. She should be the one he's after, not Blake. Yes, Blake's the princess of Menagerie, but other than that, there's not much more that would make her important enough to Adam to chase after her besides the fact that she broke up with him. It would have been a much more interesting plot line to see how the leader of a rebellion and the girl born into luxury would have interacted than to watch a guy high on power chase after an ex who left him during a mission. Since Weiss was supposed to inherit the SDC, it would have made sense for Adam to focus more on her than Blake. Her father is the one that allowed poor treatment of the Faunus in his mines. Even though Weiss never knew about it, it would have fit so much better for Adam to be chasing after her. It would have been awesome to see what Adam was capable of doing all the way up to V8 if he hadn't died so early on and paid more attention to the Schnee family. Simply making him a stalker ex-boyfriend screwed up the entire story and even threw a wrench in some of the White Fang's missions (Ex. the Haven Academy fight).

@@Alex-hm5tw Agreed; Adam fighting Blake because she's defending Weiss (who represents everything the White Fang is supposed to be against) and he can't understand why has more pathos in it than what we got, what was essentially just (insert Star Wars Traitor meme here).

Mary-Anne Lee That’s RWBY’s recent writing for you.

@@LiterallySpikeSpiegel hey remember Adam and how everyone started hating him after v5? Well we have more Adam content for you so u can start reconsidering your thoughts we won't kill him right after or anything Yang: we did what we had to do BULLSHIT

@@hugdealer4176 I know.

I thought so too, but I'm sorry, Blake and Yang went Julius Ceasar on that motherfucker lol It'd have to be the work of the almighty plot armor for him to be alive after that. ~Yuuki

@@truecrosscosplay841 Caesar got stabbed like 30 some times tho. I refuse to believe that a character as cool as Adam was died simply from two stupid stab wounds, and his last word literally being "oh." Dude totally could have washed up on the shore of the river somewhere. No body, no guaranteed death. RT has obviously animated other scenes out of order in the timeline. They could have already animated the scene with him stumbling at the end way before they knew exactly how he would die. Like they could have simply planned to make it look like he died (volume 6) but have the tease scene with him coming back at the end of his character short (this vid, pre vol 6). I feel that he has potential to be "redeemed" in several ways. But my idea is this. A rogue Adam that's realised the fight with Blake is pointless for starters. He still despises her of course, but he's not so obsessed. I'm not sure exactly but like a personal revenge manhunt for all those who've wronged him. Sorta like an anti hero, against Hazel, and the rest of Salem's team, even the SDC. Against the New white fang, and the shows good guys. The rogue assassin concept if you will. He sides with no one, against the world. I think THAT would be badass

@@hugdealer4176 nah that looks like it's right after Haven. His mask broke in the fight, remember?

For real, if they had made the right choices and had the writers to do it he could have possibly become an anti hero like it showed him being early on

Zelvi - SAME. I actually loved his character until he became obsessive about Blake. But he was badass on his own.

Hes character sucks

Cool design. Cool power But that's all. He is just an antagonist. We know nothing about him, sad.

I think he has some history with the Schnee Corporation, who he probably has the most hate towards But never see him and Weiss or anyone from the family cross paths

@@samster101229 I've come to a similar conclusion when he takes off his mask and we see the Schnee Dust Company's initials. It must've been meant to mark new boxes and crates before they're shipped off.

The brand on his eye is enough to infer it. Slaves were often branded IRL, that combined with the knowledge that the SDC has "questionable" business practices is more than enough. Probably got branded as a kid for acting up. I quite like the fact that it's left up to audience interpretation, but we're given the pieces to connect the dots. Paints a not-so-pretty picture of what life was like for Adam before he really let his spite take over.

Julia Spight “were”?

¡ ! When she was talking with adam

Julia Spight It's is "are", she isn't dead.

@wiltandblush First off, don't try to make her out to be the bad guy when he's literally shown guilt tripping her for bringing up how many "accidents" occur on his missions. And in the same conversation, he uses that guilt. Along with her estranged relationship with her parents in order to manipulate her into turning, a blind eye towards his actions. And let's not forget how he tricked her into thinking he was some kind of freedom fighter when in reality, he's just some a bitter asshole using the WF in order to hurt humans.

So, copy pasting dialogues from eunnieverse's web comics, huh?

BlacKingler it's a reference

GUNS DONT THO BRUH

Honestly, I wish they hadn't gone the route of 'Blake's abusive ex who didn't really believe in the cause he fought for, only using it to kill humans.' It would have been so much more interesting if he had been, say, Blake's mentor and that, while he went to extremes, he truly believed in the cause of equality for Faunus. Only for that to go downhill for him when Cinder showed up to enlist him in the attack on Beacon.

@@Iridescent_Astraea No, it was also how Blake described him in season 2... She literally called him, "my mentor". If you know how to write stories and have been in the fandom since the beginning, you can very easily see that RT has been steadily letting the fandom write the future of the RWBY-verse more and more... Changing the direction of the story and characters based on whatever the most popular theories or fan-fictions are. Adam started as a mentor and accomplice to Blake, but the fandom shipped them so hard that RT changed the direction of his character and his and Blake's story to appease their fantasies.

Exactly my man.

Why?! What has he ever done that sets him up as anything other than a narcissistic, abusive, terrorist leader? Literally nothing ever. He was ALWAYS this.

Tbf, did he have much of a character to begin with? He literally only had about 2 to 3 minor scenes before he was shown to be an obsessive lunatic. There’s not much to waste when the character we got is basically the character we’ve had from the beginning, he just had a cool design and that’s about it.

Don't forget that Adam was originally created by Monty with love and different, strong plans about his character. Bold enough to say that not only Adam but whole rwby got wasted after Monty's death, it's just more unnoticeable. I'm not in justifying Adam's behavior, but some time ago this fella WAS supposed to be the important one of rwby, that is for sure

What volume is it from? I've never seen this before :o

Yyasemin Ssabanci Not from the literal volume, they just make the shorts before or after a volume ends, this is for Adam backstory stuff so they’d usually put Volume 5/6 short for it.

No its for Raven

I'd rather have him be focused on the cause and not his ex-girlfriend than a redemption arc. Sure that's cool and all but I believe that it would have been better if he was this extremist because I doubt he'd simply forgive and forget.

I wish it’s possible someone save him in time

If Weiss fought Adam alongside Blake you just know they wouldn't have killed him. seeing the brand on his face would have struck a lot of sympathy for Weiss and they would have just taken him to jail. Not having Weiss even have an interaction with him is the biggest missed opportunity in this show.

@@ItsB1998 Totally agree with ya

And with a similar drop into "what the fuck was that"

Ah yes, *The Chainsaw man*

Well They never said when the fight takes place it could be a few months before the black trailer since he has the intricate pattern on the back and shoulder and Blake looks the same as volume 1 before he had it added that’s my theory anyway

Huh really? Caus the look to finely detailed to be tattooed to me

They didn't even get the growth or experience needed to get on his level at all. Blake went home, stopped an assassination attempt on her family and then came back to stop him at Mistral. While Yang was depressed for a bit, then did some light sparring with her dad, then fought some fodder bandits, more bandits and fought Mercury only to get her ass beat by him again!(That's also not even counting the whole "PTSD plot point" that was handled horribly) They never got the growth they needed, nor did they get the combat experience to actually fight on Adam's level, yet SOMEHOW they can actually kick his ass with no problem at all and then kill him? Straight power creep right there, it's just like with the Ace Ops, people who have *years* of experience and field combat on team RWBY, yet they still get beaten by them no problem which is so dumb. I blame the writers on this because it's because of them, Adam was nerfed and killed off by a buffed Blake and Yang who should've lost that fight so badly that Adam let them go alive as a mercy. The elite Huntsmen squad in Atlas got beaten by a team of people who only recently got the band back together, the same team who should've lost horribly due to the fact that they've only been killing Grimm for a year and that's it. When it comes to a elite Huntsmen squad? They've gotten their auras broken and taken to jail.

@@windghost2 bro , agree with everything you said , ace ops vs rwby should've been a massacre , but instead we got the " you were the best , but then you trained us " bullshit

waddah yana Exactly. The writing dictates who wins and who loses, apparently team RWBY must NEVER lose any fight which is stupid. They never grow and learn from their fights, they always come back and just beat everyone with no explanation whatsoever and it’s so tiring.

@@AgentofChaos315 Hmmmmmmmm....... good point.

To have the whole series in this channel

^

Sorry, I know this is old but... did he get nerfed? We only ever saw him against old model (aka he's definitely faced them repeatedly and is used to them) robots, aura-less guards with guns that are just a gun and therefore automatically useless, and two exhausted, low-on-aura girls who were absolutely terrified or blindingly mad. He killed Sienna not in "glorious combat" to show who would be the strongest leader for the faunus, but in a sneak attack. Aside from kicking around Blake who'd already fought through a sea of Grimm just getting to where he was, we never actually saw Adam go up against anyone who didn't go down with one hit till Stealing from the Elderly (still a fantastic episode name). Either robots he knew the moves of, those caught off guard, or opponents who were already weakened- Adam really fought more like an assassin than he did a straightforward fighter. His style from what we saw was best used cool-headed and when he faced Blake and Yang Adam was well into a total meltdown. If nothing else, the fight has a Zuko vs Azula final showdown aspect in the mentality of all the fighters going in ...except here Katara was also involved in the fight from the start. tl;dr- Maybe they didn't take his character in the direction a lot of us were hoping, but watching his previous fights his failure against Yang and Blake seems completely believable.

@@whiteraven181 He sliced a big ass robot until he was dust, reacted to a beam attack, and freaking cut off Yang's arm when She was in front of him wanting to fight him. He only kicked ass since he was introduced, he had no buisness being this dissapointing

About that ...

@@pl6143 what? Did they reveal his backstory finally?

@@corygray1333 well ... They only revealed his face in v6 ... There is also the soundtrack of v6 "lionized" aka Adam's song but nothing more about him sadly ....just wasted potential

I'm just glad that he's probably chilling in the afterlife now and doesn't need to suffer of bad writing anymore

Yeah, good point. I just feel like he's the type of villian whose full backstory needs to be out there. After seeing his scar, I realized that he wasn't always a cruel, violent person. He probably was a decent person at one point in time. That all changed when he was branded like an animal and probably forced to be a slave for the Schee Dust Company.
