Yellow did a good job introducing and characterisation four characters, one of which is a main character and two of which could easily take a significant role going forward. I don't think Junior will be that big a piece in the puzzle. Monty did a good job with what he had available. Also there's now a potential revenge arc concerning Junior, and it sounded like he far greater a criminal then Yang treated him as. "People say you know everyone." Yang's search will probably be a major plot point going forward, and could prove more important than the lore revealed in Black,

White COULD be a great trailer in terms of canon content. It all depends on how Monty decides to integrate it into the show. If it's a dream sequence or something similar then it would give a massive insight into Weiss's character. If it is quite literally her proving ground then it could still be interesting though we be far from character changing.

Red, most of it did little to nothing apart from highlight how awesome Monty is with fight scenes and demonstrate how the weapons and action going forward will be handled. Made Crescent Rose look awesome and reminded us of just how powerful Ruby could be in the future. Again, like Weiss's trailer it could be major going forward. We don't know who White Cloak is and the Red trailer could also be a dream sequence. Basically what we got was a non canon representation of Ruby and her capablities going forward but then we got what is perhaps most important to her character: An insight into a relative and the first hint that Red could be something other than reality (which is VERY important... but was kind of not really touched on until the RWBY Volume 1 intro)

Black, I wouldn't call it spoiler-y. I'd call it world building. They never intended to build up suspense concerning the White Fang it's why they practically covered its immediate and important history witihn the first episode it was brought up (okay so TECHNICALLY it was brought up in Episode 2 but...) The Black trailer was awesome but I wouldn't really say anything outside of the association between Blake, Adam, the SDC and the WF was overly important as we go forward and none of it was particularly spoilery. From Shadows is STILL one of the most powerful songs from the S1V1 OST in my opinion.

Also if anyone's interested I had a look at the Volume 2 intro and here are my thoughts. (You have to highlight the greyed out text to see it, warning though: if you do they are what I personally define as potentially spoilery)
