I never said the show veered off course. I had heard prior to my original post that the three of them were in it from the start. They decided on the retcon to help take the show where they wanted it to go. They had a story planned out but say they needed something major to connect the dots and drive the story in the direction they had planned. I think the retcon of the Maiderns was to stay on course. But they didn't have to retcon Cinder, instead introducing a new character as the maiden. Or stole Amber's power between volumes 2 and 3. They chose to retcon Cinder and make her use of dust in those fights a cover up as not to have revealed her stolen power to anyone who would know the work of a Maiden. And like I said, Qrow being revealed to be Ruby's real dad can be used as a device to push Ruby's character development and maybe even the show in a direction that it was needing to go.
