...... You do know that alot of Volume 3's fights weren't done by Monty right? The short Cinder vs. Ozpin fight was more than likely not Monty's work. He died before V3 finished production, so several fights weren't done by him. And it's not just Monty. Shane was also with the animators, but they appearently split after an "argument". And again, they are in a different software. Maya and Poser are different. And considering the fights we got in Volume 4, this was a marked improvement. I know people complain that they should have gotten used to Maya by now, but there is a difference between being used to it, and mastering it. Monty was a master with Poser, hence how he could make the stunning fights in Volume 1 and 2. But the others aren't. Maya is there for them, and they have yet to master it.

And unfortunately, yes, a lot of us fans are too stupid to infer on these things. Do you know how many people were saying Qrow turning into a bird was his semblance, or that Jaune's semblance was healing, Or that Cinder could cover her arm by extending her aura? Considering how many times attacks have gotten past aura this volume due to being caught off guard, it doesn't surprise me that they had to spell it out. With the FNDM's tendency to ignore even the most basic of things (You will not believe how many people still think Jaune is gonna be the next Fall Maiden, despite being a guy), I don't blame them for having to spell it out. Cause suffice to say..... most of us are indeed idiots.

As for why Cinder didn't use elements in her fight with Ozpin, its because from a narrative perspective she had little experience in bigger elemental feats. She had to be trained by Salem in Volume 4 just to perform a slash of flame with her arm. She was a newb.
