You have to keep the anime aspect in mind.

Also as said it is basically the first thing on of the most knowledgable characters n the show has first mentioned about the MC the show is even named after.

After that we saw how basically any over powered ability showed something on the eyes.

Yang releasing her overpowerd semblance, Cinder using her fire, Amber and Cinder using the fall maidens power all were shown to cause a reaction on the eyes. You seriously did not think Ozpin of all people mentioning Ruby eyes meant something.

Hell they even talked with Pyrrha about how some legends had some truth in them, did you seriously think it would remain with only the four maiden legend having some truth to it.

Besides that did you forget how overpowered Ruby's speed is. The vortex Ruby created in the food fight was strong enough to overcome Pyrrha's control and force on the cans and send the entire team JNPR flying all that while being 2 years younger than the others and especially someone like Pyrrha. 1-It's completely irrelevant if it's anime, kid. It doesn't matter if it's anime, or manga, or whatever. Bad writing is bad writing. It's completely irrelevant what kind of media it is.

2-What the hell are you saying in that sentence?

3-And did Ruby ever show any hints to an overpowered ability? No she didn't. Don't even think of saying "she has silver eyes", the eye color of the characters has so far had no relation to their eye color.

4-Yang's Semblance is actually underpowered. It requires her to be hit to work, and she needs to survive the hit and then land any hits in the oponent for it to work. If none of those criterias ever happen, her Semblance is as good as nothing. Cinder's fire is not a Semblance (Ozpin makes it clear: Maiden powers allow elemental powers without Dust or Semblance).

And as for the rest of that sentence, read 3.

5-Did they ever mention any legends of silver-eyed OP badasses? No they didn't. As such, that point fails.

6-Overpowered? Not really. Being 2 years younger? Completely irrelevant. Plus, just because she's skilled in the use of her Semblance to do that, doesn't mean she was ever implied to have Mary Sue OP powers related to her eyes strong enough to KO a Maiden and a powerful Grimm.

Ruby is in no way going to become a Mary Sue, and what exactly do you mean by bad writing?
