User blog comment:Forrestib/"Breach" was Brilliant, and Here's Why/@comment-4820209-20141031224430/@comment-9090085-20141101161558

@Zolnir Before I get into my "rebuttal" of your post I want to make two things clear: I agree with you wholeheartedly on any point I don't bring up; and I always expected the Grimm to be beaten this episode.


 * The Dust bullets is... confusing. Yes, Coco is using Dust bullets; so was everyone in Players and Pieces, and that didn't stop the Death Stalker then.(Obviously, she's using bigger bullets, but I'll get into that later)
 * I would have agreed with you about the Nevermores size if they didn't magically change from man-sized when they attacked Yang to having a wingspan greater then the buildings behind CVFY when they were shot by Coco.


 * On that note, I have no problem with Coco killing a Death Stalker with her mini-gun, what I have a problem with is it shattering like a clay pot in a fraction of a second; if it died in 3-5 seconds instead, it would have been much more believable.


 * Yes the scene with Ruby spin-kicking the Beowolves was bad, but what was worse for me was when they had the King Taijitu hiss at Ruby and she froze in fear; it felt very "forced". A better way it could have been handled would be to have the King Taijitu try to bite Ruby while she's cutting down Beowolves, only it catches her scythe instead, and she's left dangling from it's mouth as it "stands up". Then Nora flies in and kills it much like before. This, in one swoop, does three things:
 * It would make Ruby, and by extension RWBY, feel like they were in legitimate peril.
 * It would make JNPRs arrival one where they're saving RWBY instead of joining the Grimm-slaying party.
 * And it would make the King Taijitu's death stand out less, as it would have been killed while close to killing someone, instead of dieing while siting on it's "tail", doing nothing.

That's really why this fight erks me so much, is that it's a few tweaks away from being damn near perfect; but it it's few faults are so glaring to me that they ruin an otherwise fairly good ending.
