The show has a show, don't tell problem, but I think it's exacerbated by the worldbuilding they feel they have to put in the show. Like the contrived bit with Yang's semblance, or with Jaune's total ignorance of a fundamental aspect of his profession. If this sort of stuff, like what varieties of Dust do, is revealed in show, it'll be in contrived and forced fashion. With as little runtime as the show has, that's not good. And really, that's what WoR is for, even if they didn't particularly do a good job of it the first time, rehashing ground already implicit for the most part. For those to be useful, they need to go more in-depth.
