But... I can't ignore that there are a lot of people who view her as acting like a brat, and the show really could've done things differently to prevent that.

The show and Weiss' songs act like Jacques is a horrible father and that Weiss is a victim who is tired of being controlled and used by him, but the way that the show had things play out has caused a significant portion of the audience to not see it that way.

One thing that would have fixed this is if they had actually spent more time showing us how Jacques and Weiss interact in normal circumstances when Weiss has actually been behaving herself, and actually showing us this treatment that Weiss is tired of and tried to escape from by going to Beacon.

But no, Miles and Kerry were in too much of a hurry to get to whatever the hell is gonna happen in Mistral.
