@Chish: 1-"it would've barely felt like this tournament they were talking about was actually going on. Kind of like how the world would've felt a bit empty if the tournament had only been Teams RWBY, JNPR, SSSN, and Bad Guys."

....And yet it still felt like that, because, regardless of reasons, they skipped pretty much all of it and barely even did that. JNPR's Dual fight, for example. Or any of Penny's besides her "Dual" fight.

2-"Blake's frigging dad is the former White Fang leader - Blake mentioned their old leader stepping down in volume 1, said old leader is suddenly revealed in volume 4."

Nothing even implied said leader was her dad though.

3-"it is pretty nice for them to bring something up earlier instead of just throwing it at us out of the blue like "Hello, this is important right now, look at it!" "

The problem, however, is that if they don't make X painfully obvious from the get-go, like with Penny being a Robot and Blake being a Faunus and Raven being Yang's mother, they make it so subtle it can't even be called foreshadowing sometimes.

Like with the Silver Eyes. "You have silver eyes". 1 line, that could mean many things, like the perfectly-reasonable "Ozpin knew Summer Rose". Nothing ever implied about Silver Eyed people having great anti-Grimm powers, or even there being a whole order of SEWs.

And besides that line, there wasn't even any mention of her eye color, nor did anyone ever seem to even notice or care. And the other "foreshadowing" like "Ruby's eyes in the V2OP", cannot even be called that (that one can be excused as simple "Rule of Cool").

I know you said you weren't saying they were examples of good writing....but saying they "bring up stuff instead of suddenly shoving it in your face out of nowhere" isn't exactly correct all the time. With the SEWs and the (true nature of the) Silver Eyes, they did exactly that.
