The idea that Ozpin, or Vale in general couldn't handle a simple leak is ludicrous, and I must say I don't understand why people think that it's going to end in city wide disaster. Well yeah, it wouldn't be a city wide disaster even in my hypothetical "worst case scenario" where Ironwood was in charge from Field Trip onwards(a few blocks, tops); which I mostly came up with to highlight just how bad of a match Cinder is for Ironwood.

Which is important because he is her main opponent in wits now.

Still, it did feel a little too one-sided, especially around the start; I'm not asking for casualties or injuries - I'm just asking for more effort. Having RWBY get hit one or two more times near the start would have been nice; it would make JNPR feel more like they were bailing out RWBY instead of joining the party. I would have totally bought Coco killing the Death Stalker with her mini-gun if took something like 3-5 seconds to die instead of 0.5 seconds; and killing the Giant Nevermores was unnecessary, they could have been the same size as the ones that attacked Yang and it wouldn't have changed the scene much.

Sure, maybe they're supposed to be this strong, but it's still a bit of a jump from what we've seen before. Again, I'm not asking for half as much as some of the other people here: just that RWBY should have seemed in danger of dieing at the start(no, the King Taijitu hissing at Ruby doesn't count), and that Coco killing 4 large Grimm in 3 seconds flat was a bit much.
