User blog comment:Jkphantom9/Some of my honest opinions about RWBY so far/@comment-5426254-20150608024420

Here are my gripes about the show, mostly the writing.

Terrible pacing; one episode it's too fast, another episode it's too slow.

"Tell, Don't Show" exposition: Everyone knows this, and what were they thinking?

Plenty of logical inconsistencies: See fatmanfalling on Youtube for further details.

Failures to introduce characters properly: In V2, Junior got an overhyped entrance in the opening, but only appears to talk. Scarlet and Sage also received this treatment, only being shown in a miniscule shot in a frame. And of course, last minute intros to Zwei, Raven, and Neo.

Terrible character development: Ruby and Yang's development came way too late, Blake's inconsistent because she shat herself about Roman and the WF, bitching about Adam, only to realize that she had a decent chance last time, and won against Roman just by using special ammo.

Also, just as you said, Neo, Zwei, Raven, and CFVY are especially OP. I'm thinking, why are the four Kingdoms not in a slightly better position than they are now, with Hunters like these? I mean, Coco shredded Nevermores, Ursi, Beowolves and Deathstalkers by slapping them with a purse and shredding them with a gatling gun.

Failure to properly worldbuild: Not much info in V2 about worldbuilding. Even then, it's to very vague "Tell, don't show" narration.

And finally, a new one: A similar structure for RWBY in both volumes. Make friends, beat mid-boss, get beaten by villains, have OP allies save the day, happily ever after.

That's my two cents. Whaddya think?
