tbf, Silver Eyes was a foreshadowing of sorts already. Aaaaall the way back to Vol 1.

But we got sidetracked by a red herring and thought she was a Maiden. :v "You got silver eyes" could have meant many things. They could have done anything to foreshadow it. Like Qrow cheering up Ruby by saying something like "Ozpin once told me that long, long ago people that had silver eyes were seen as the greatest warriors of all". That would have been more than enough.

Bullshit, a "hint" like that is just way too heavy. Like if at the start of Star Wars Luke had a picture of Vador with him as a baby in arms and "Best Dad of the Year" spelled on it. Ridiculously heavy hint.

The way it is is fine. We ALL suspected that there was something odd about Ruby (seriously, Ozpin make her skip 2 years for apparently no reason) but in the meantime we were blinded by the Maiden thing and so we were unable to predict that outcome. Fair enough.

Another "hint" is when Crow speak about the Maiden Legends he implied that others legends could have a bit of truth too.
