Yang was having a bad day, that's for sure.

Honestly though, I don't think ""Oh no, a horde of Grimm have gotten directly inside the city! It's so dangerous, and this is too much for first-years to handle!" was what they were going for. I think we know by now team RWBY aren't ordinary first years.

I mean, Weiss was the only one who seemed to be having trouble in her trailer (maybe Blake, but Adam to the rescue). Ruby is 15, and she basically took out a horde of Grimm without batting an eyelash. I was not surprised at all when team RWBY and team JNPR dealt with the situation with ease.

It's like the fight with the Nevermore & Death Stalker. They beat them really quite easily, but they didn't want to fight them because what's the point? It was only when they realised they weren't going to get away without a fight they decided to kick some ass.

I don't see the Grimm as being dengerous because they're powerful- they aren't. I see the sheer volume of them making them the threat. Think about it, the bits of Remnant that aren't civilised are swarming with Grimm.

It's like the Orcs in LOTR. They're abysmal fighters, not very smart, and pretty weak. But, they're still a threat because there are literally hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of them.
