2) I really, really, wanted to see this, and how it would play out with Pyrrha and Amber, but instead they chose the easy way out and killed her.

Even though these problems existed, I really do believe Volume 3 was the best volume.

Also, about Volume 5, I really hoped we would get more Maiden plotline. It's my favorite of the series, and the whole Raven/Vernal thing was done pretty well. Also, when CEM and Watts went to the Branwen camp, I legitimately thought Emerald was going to get Spring Maiden powers because she was the only other girl there besides Cinder, plus Cinder had the Fall powers.

1. Because it was following the aspect of Pyrrha's character that is self sacrificing. She has always had this aspect, we are first shown it in the fact she wanted to become a huntress at all. She was already a successful arena champion, but rather than fight solely in an arena with opposition almost guaranteed to use only metal, she wanted to fight eldritch creatures who don't use it at all for humanities benefit.

She also shows it in how willing she is to support/train Jaune, and how ultimately she was willing to sacrifice her own being to help save the maiden powers. She had a slight chance provided Jaune wasn't there, and no matter how slight, she had to take it because of that aspect of her personality.

2. A. tbf, they did not have time to explore that/draw it out.

B. It was a plot they had recently added that maiden's existed at all

C. Had Pyrrha survived long enough, that would have been incredibly hard for the actress to roleplay, not to mention crazy to animate a fight with 2 maiden level fighters.

3. V3 hands down was the best mix of their experience/skill/technology, V1-2 were still better fight choreography for the most part(as Monty worked on them), while 4-5 did have better graphics at times.
