So, finally got done with watching the ep with my mum (sans my brother interrupting us to give his opinion on how bad at "looking Chinese" the series is. Honest bro, I don't care, learn geography and then come back.)

I still don't get why people are assuming Qrow is a drunk because we saw him drinking (even my mum was all like "I feel sorry for Ruby.". The fact he slightly looses equilibrium when he gets up doesn't need to mean he is all gone in alcohol, surely beyond driving but not incoherent drunk territory.

Not much to say about JNPR vs BRNZ. If Brawnz Ni is the leader, he did an awful job. He not only got taken by surprise by Nora twice (seriously, the first time I get it, but the second time don't just stand there with an "oh shit" face, as funny as it is, it is incompetent as f***), he also didn't have the brains to, I don't know, take advantage of JNPR being distracted arguing to try to regain the upper hand.

As for SSSN vs NDGO, I find it funny that Neptune's uselessness both dismantled SSSN at the very beginning and also ultimately served Sun to win the match. Like, had she not run to the dessert area, the girls were clearly on the intention to take the match to that side of the arena.

Now, after seeing two teams from Haven, I feel that theory that came up back in V2 that the reason we didn't see Sage and Scarlet, and even when the teams go out to shadow hunters, it's only Sun and Neptune who are shown to go to train as junior detectives, is because Haven emphasises work between partners rather than teams.

I mean, RWBY vs ABRN, setting aside the only ones who seemed to be worth anything were Arlan and on a distant second Reese, during the part of the fight we saw, it was clear there was a certain level of coordination between the members of team RWBY (Ruby was camping with her rifle in the Ice biome, which is advantageous to Weiss so far preferred elemental dust and Weiss was in that area to cover for her, Yang was going against the other team's hand-to-hand combatant and Blake who has the most versatile weapon was going against the member of the other team with the most unpredictable weapon as it allowed them to fly, also, Blake has Weiss special made dust vials) whilst ABRN was all over the place.

Same way, SSSN got divided in Sun who was left trying to get Neptune to do shit while Sage and Scarlet went on their own. Against this, NDGO at least had each others backs most of the time.
