1-  Cinder's group has successfully positioned Atlas forces in Vale as security during the festival. Atlas troops will likely be "hacked" and used for as yet unknown purposes. Unless there is a larger goal than trying to "upset current world order", trying to take apart Vale and/or the other kingdoms seems like a pointless exercise given how the world of Remnant works - where Grimm will f-ck you up at every given opportunity.

It is common in such stories for a big boss to do a "big reveal to the world" when everybody is watching - which would be at the festival. So we'll just have to wait for more info.

2-  A bet:  Torchwick blows up or otherwise puts a hole in Ironwood's shiny ship while escaping and laughs about it. Its just his style. Maybe he'll ask for his bowler hat back or a light. Then blows up a red dust crystal.

3-  Coco is supremely overpowered - unless its stated that "Aura-block" can stop even her bullets (that can cut through death stalkers and nevermores) and then... good luck with the humongous hail of bullets from a rotary cannon - that's 6000 rounds a minute.

4-  Yang's mum; Raven Branwen... I have this thought in my head that Raven is the "Queen". Not enough foreshadowing though. Vol 3 should clear this up.

5-  Too many characters, too little time. The series episodes are already tiny at a quarter to half the length of normal cartoon episodes. We're missing out on a ton of character development while introducing a ton of new characters; from 4 main characters, 4 main secondary characters, a half dozen support characters and 4 main villains... what? Let's add another villain, 4 new student characters and then some. They need more money for more resources so we can have longer episodes. This is all really frustrating.

6-  We seriously need more character stories on the main 4. All of Team RWBY have great back story potential. Only Blake has had any significant story so far. Or at least spend more time with Team JNPR. They have the most space to develop as characters seeing as we know so little of them and Jaune has a big space to "grow up" in.
