I totally agree with everything you said in regards to Weiss and Jacques and that whole mess. That was one of the biggest fumbles of Volume 4, imo. They tried to make Jacques look horrible, and he certainly did, but Weiss looked really bad herself. I know a ton of people who now hate Weiss or like her less because of Volume 4. She just came off as a spoiled, entitled brat. It also doesn't help they're trying to make her out as some super independent badass now, when she always gets her ass handed to her without help from her team, was created to basically be the "support character tm" who buffs other people while they do most of the heavylifting in fights, and now has a power that enables her to basically just stand back and fight even less. She's not Ruby. She's not Yang. Are you sure you aren't reffering to Blake with that whole "spoiled,entitled" bit. In alll seriousness i actually really liked Weiss but i do admit there were some problems. I do admit that it's kinda hilarous that she completly bought in the idea that Jacques were going to give her the reigns to the company eventually when a perfect sucessor was already there it Whitley - it was so obvious that Jacques was going to give the Heir role to Whitley that i am suprised she was shocked when Jacques said that to her
