I admit that RWBY has lazy writing (really hope this change in Vol 2) but I don't think there are Ass Pull tropes played in this series. What I believe is, everything that hasn't been explained in these 2 first volumes WILL get explanations sooner or later in upcoming Volumes.

I mean, Monty did his writing homework in symbolisms, which (some) may have been the part of the foreshadowing too. I really aware that most fanbases these days has a great sense of observations to speculations even from the tiniest hint presented, and I love this fact very much.
