I like how a lot of your criticisms can be thrown back in your own face, but I won't resort to shit talking. If you're actually upset to the point that you feel the need to personally insult me, then it's obvious I've gone and done something that made you butthurt, which was not my intention. But anyways...

1 - No, it was bad and unecessary. If they wanted to make an effect introductory sequence that showed mankinds rise to power, articulated the effectiveness of Dust, and the formation of the four kingdoms, they should have made it brief and added more to it. Aura doesn't get explained till episode 6, so what is the viewer supposed to think about Ruby surviving explosions and shit until then? Semblance isn't even given a name until Pyrrah's is showcased, yet it's what gives the RWBY cast their individuality besides their looks personalities. Faunus, and the role they play in the world and pirpose for their very existence is still a fucking mystery, seeing as none of it even gets explained in volume 2. This is all stuff they had time to establish, but instead spent it tslking a bout vague nonsense.

3 - Where do you live that men in suits who are obviously armed with guns and blades aren't considered a legitimate threat? You're really just trying hard to disprove anything I've said, no matter how small and irrelevant it is. If they failed to even look the part, I highly doubt Roman would have bargained for them in the first place.

5 - When you buy a gun and find out it doesn't work, you get your money back, not repeatedly attempt to do what you just did moments ago for no reason. Again, the joke is that Torchwick is insane by definition. Why this is still something you don't understand is beyond me.

6 - Your false equivalence involving armies and fairytale magic aside, I want to address your point about unlocking and reaching the "full potential" aura has to offer. So if unlocking ones aura allows them to continue to grow beyond human limits, why is it that by the next semester, when he has finally started to take his shit seriously and routinely trains with Pyrrah, is he getting instantly incapacitated by getting chicken thrown at him. For that matter, how does Cinder simply knock out the guard when she is infiltrating Ironwood's security building, and how the flying fuck was Weiss cut in the "White" Trailer by one strike from the knight? She gets a chainsaw jabbed into her and comes out fine, but when the knight barely makes his swing she comes out injured but is still full of "aura". Aura is as inconsistent as it fucking gets.

7 and 8 - Do you watch your shows from the middle to the end often or something? For a series to have a believable world, it has to be consistent with what is established. When things that don't make sense to the viewer start happening, it becomes incoherent, and as a result, it begins to lack structure and cohesiveness. This is a review for episode 1 and the content it contains, at no point is Aura mentioned by anyone in the entirety of the episode. Your criticism might be valid if I was reviwing the entire series in this single blog, but I'm not. Ruby was not shown to be a hesitant retard util Torchwick needed to get away, Aura has not chronologically been established yet. This is why Glynda's Dust abilities look like magic bullshit, because for all the viewer will know, it is magic bullshit. Are you gonna tell me that you knew that Glynda was using her aura to do any of the shit she did from the beginning? You'd be full of shit. You should probably get a clue of what good writing is supposed to be instead of bitching and spouting ad hominems because I just so happen to have a view point that differs from yours. Plot armor is about as applicable to the situation as anything else, there were numerous moments in that one part of the episode where Roman would have and should have either been incapacitated or killed. Ruby's bullshit hesitation is one of those moments. They let him get away because the plot demands it, slap any trope you'd like on it that's applicable to the scene, at the end of the day Roman gets away because Ruby is written to suddeny be a moron.

10 - No, it really isn't. Sarcasm may not translate to text well, but being hyperbolic doesn't mean I have to cater to the mentally retarded so theyc an get the joke too.

11 - "Make it clear it's a joke" oh my god, don't tell me you're actually mentally handicap or something.

13 - Same reason as 10 and 12.

14 - Are you gonna look up the definition of furry or are you too busy googling reaction gifs so you don't have to actually make valid point?

15 - You're literally making shit up now. Blake explicitly tells us the reason that she left the White Fang was because they had become violent using terror tactics that were beginning to work to scaring the public, and Weiss gives an example of the shit they've done before Blake even mentiond it, saying that the White Fang had been at war with her grandfathers company (implying that this shit has been happening for awhile now) stealing cargos of Dust from Schnee corporation for awhile now. She even mention an incident involving a shipment from a train being stolen specifically, which sounds exactly like what Blake and Adam were doing in the "Black" trailer. Blake doesn't even defend herself then, implying that hijacking trains was a thing the White Fang did even before the "Black" trailer. The White Fang were always fighting a revolution, eveb before the start of episode 1.

16 - So he still should have said "weapon type". It's not the same weapon, no matter how identical it looks. You can't generalize it like you can generalize Semblance, so I really don't even know what kind of point you're trying to make here. Also noticed that you didn't bother to respond to the other half of everything I even said, good to know that you're at least trying wizen up. I recommend not being such a whiny bitch, though. It's grating. Have a good night, can't wait to see your inevitable list of complaints about how I didn't explain the joke well enough for you.
