User blog:Hidden Scorpius XI/Another problem with Vol. 2 (In my opinion).

After reading User:ChishioKunrin's blog: RWBY's quality, and how it can be improved, I started thinking: "What other issue I have found with Volume 2?", and I learned that there's one issue that I found really jarring and that I don't like in the slightest. I'm guessing I'm gonna catch some fire because of this confession, but just as Chishio did, I also have a way which this detail can be solved already. But let's stop kicking around the bush and get done with it:

I don't like Zwei.

Now, I honestly think that Zwei is is an adorable ball of fun, he was a necessary plot device for the Volume 2 finale, and he's just an awesome addition to the series. The only issue I find with him is that he comes right out-of-the-butt-f**k-nowhere.

Before he appeared, we all knew that the only life forms of Remnant where Humans, Fauni and (debatedly) Grimm, plus other species like crows ("Black" and "Yellow" Trailers) bugs (Spear Wasps), fish (mentioned in The Stray, first seen in Best Day Ever), poultry (also in Best Day Ever) and mice (Painting the Town...). Up until the point that Zwei was introduced in the series, no other mention of animals like dogs, cats or even other primates.

On my behalf, I honestly thought that the counterparts of this world wolves, bears and other big-mean animals were the Grimm, while Fauni --Seeing how all Faunus characters we've seen so far only have traits of "mammals"-- replaced the species of animals that each of them represent (I should put a flame shield on). Thus, I would never have hope to see Blake standing besides a cat or Velvet holding a bunny. I thought that those were how things were in remnant. Then comes Zwei and throws that theory through the window.

What I'm getting at is, that I shouldn't have believed that. The show shouldn't have led me to believe that. But yet, there weren't any hints that could prove me wrong on that belief. How could Miles and Kerry have avoided this misconception? Simple: Have some freaking animals on screen early!

Sadly, the damage is already done, so we can only hope that they add more animals from now on.
