-Yang's participation back in Vol.1 was so small, she literally felt like a secondary character, despite supposedly being of the Main 4. RBW each got at least a few episodes, Yang got none, nor did she do anything important after the emerald forest.

-Blake's...eh, dilemma, in episodes 15 and 16...was badly badly done. First of all, we have barely even seen her before, we know nothing about her, and either the writers or Monty expected the audience to feel sad or sympthatize with her. That's like if they did "Hey, you see this guy? His name is Bob. His brother died. Go on, cry". We should have at least gotten some Blake-related or Blake-exclusive scenes to know her better before those episodes.

-And then there comes a big one. Weiss Off-Screen character development. I mean, seriously, there is no way to see that was a good move, at all. And whoever says it was, it's in all honesty an idiot who doesn't know what they're talking about. It wasn't even a matter of dificulty by RT, adding at least 1 scene showing Weiss thinking and deciding to go look for Blake would have helped, and wouldn't be too hard nor take much time.

As for the "It's RWBY, not JNPR" part...well, in Vol.1 JNPR did seem more interesting, at least to me. But now with Vol.2, it's better to say "It's not JNPR, It's RWBY.....and JP". And I agree with most of these criticisms.Except for the one with Blake.She had a entire tralier for her.Plus several moments in V1 which outline her personality.

As for the RWBY vs JNPR time battle.I honestly think they've gotten better at managing time between the two teams.V2 was the first time team JNPR got a moment together as a group without team RWBY present.(even if it was just to discuss romance) I hope to see more of that.
