Plot holes? Yeah, no. Dumb decisions? Which? The only ones I can find are Ruby instantly assuming perfectly-obviously-evil Cinder is not-suspicious-at-all ATM, and Roman causing the Breach ahead of time. And out-of-universe, "revealing" Raven's identity literally the next episode after her introduction.

Unresolved issues, I can agree with that, depending on the particular issue.

In terms of writing, it's way better IMO. Why? Well let's list what Vol.1 gave us:

1-Gave a complete, 4 episodes long arc to a secondary character, while Yang, ONE OF THE MAIN 4 FROM WHICH THIS SHOW IS NAMED FOR, was nothing more than a fucking SECONDARY for the entire Volume. And to make things worse, that 4 episodes long arc was EXTREMELY CLICHÉ.

2-Gave us Blake's ears and Penny's roboticness. Both were done in a way it was extremely obvious that Blake had cat ears and Penny was a robot. Seriously, if one didn't see these coming they need big glasses and a new pair of eyes.

3-Blake's arc. You see, this was a moment of character development for her, I liked that. However, it was asking for the audience to feel sympathy for her. What's the problem? We barely saw her in the previous episodes, much less heard after Ep8. She was basically an even bigger secondary than Yang. And because of that, one simply can not feel sympathy for her while on one's right mind. If RT had given Blake more personal screentime beforehand, I may have cared, but they didn't, and I have a policy of not caring about the people I don't know, and Blake I very barely knew.

4-Weiss's character development in Black and White, happened OFF-SCREEN. What kind of person on their right mind would do something like that?! They had this perfect oportunity to show Character Development, and they blew it. Even a 7 seconds long scene showing Weiss thinking, then reconsidering and going to look for Blake, would have been good enough. But they didn't do that, even though it would have taken almost no time at all.

5-Very inconsistent time skips at some points. The first 4 episodes happen, I assume, one day after another, with the Emerald Arc happening in a matter of hours. Good enough. Then, I assume Episodes 9 and 10 happen the very next day after that. Then comes the Jaune Arc, which happens...how long after, exactly? Weeks later? Months later? Days later? And when does the Blake arc happen after that? Days later? Weeks later? Months later?

Now, I end my turn. Your turn Guy.
