^ 100% agree.

The bulk of Yang's story was just deciding to put the arm on and the audience is supposed to believe that she never struggles or has second thoughts.

The bulk of Weiss's story is just deciding to leave and we are supposed to believe she never struggled 'even though they set up her struggle to summon as a plot point. '

Oscar follows a similiar formula where the focus is on the decision and not the struggle. V4 despite having the longest run time of all the volumes, was spread too thin.

V1 runtime (minus openings and trailers): 108 min

V2 runtime (minus openings and WoR): 159 min

V3 runtime (minus openings and WoR):180 min

V4 runtime (minus openings and WoR): 206 min

I mean V4 is almost twice and long as V1. I don't know why they felt they had to rush it.
