And many other things in the show were not necesary either. The Qrow vs Winter fight, the Jaune Arc in Vol.1, the Yang-Raven Dreamesque scene... But tell me: Were they necesary? Of course, I guess it depends on what you call "necesary". When you tell me a scene or plot thread was necesary, I assume you mean that they REALLY had to be included, that they were so necesary that they couldn't have used alternatives.

-There could have been other ways to show Qrow's attitude towards the Atlesian military. There could have been other ways for Merc to spot Qrow (or heck, someone other than Merc being the one who spots Qrow).

Winter talking about it in the next ep doesn't mean it was necesary, it means Miles used something, in this case the scene and fight, and won't pretend it never happened, like it should be.

-There were multiple ways to show that Jaune snuck his way into Beacon, with or without revealing it to his friends.

And it wasn't necesary for Pyrrha to give him lessons at all: Just get Jaune to admit and recognize he's a noob, and ask his teammate and consecutive-champion Pyrrha Victory, to help him get better.

Could've been done right after the Emerald Forest arc, with Jaune acknowledging that he wasn't much help in the fights. No need for the cliché arc with Cardin as a cliché amurican bully.
