I'm kind of glad they didn't do SSSN's second fight for the same reason... it's OK to be silly, but you shouldn't let the comedy make "joke" characters unless they prove themselves at other times. If there's one thing I learned from my bad writing moments in middle school, it's that your basis for doing something should not be just because "It would be funny." That has a tendency to lead to bad writing decisions. That may work for RvB, but RvB tends to be just a wacky comedy series where pretty much anything can happen and the writers can bend reality to their will for the hell of it. RWBY, on the other hand, is not like that and should not be treated like that. Did you know that the whole "Jaune has a crush on Weiss" thing started as just a joke? And then they had to write their way out of it to get Arkos going.
