Remember in V1-4 when a fight scene would start and it would continue until it was over? I miss those fights. Hazel's fight against the allies was so chopped up and heavily edited that it feels more like a highlight reel than an actual brawl. Qrow vs Raven, Emerald vs Ruby, and Yang vs Mercury all felt this way.

Its almost as if it was a video game and these were just cutscenes intermixed into the boss fight. RWBY vol 4 felt a lot like a video game and Vol 5 more so. It does make me wonder whether RWBY should have been a video game from the start.

V5 can be summed up as "A missed opportunity."

While we all have our favorite ideas about how things should have gone down they could have streamlined a bunch of dialogue. This volume wasn't 14 episodes. More like 12 episodes and 2 WoR.
