I agree with Spirit, training montages would also have been a great way to pad things...it'd quench our need for action and make things like what they showcased be shown as possible.

With the first episode, however; I don't think they needed to preface Nora and Ruby's combo attack because we knew Ruby could carry people before, and because a first episode is supposed to showcase cool shit without needing to explain it. It's happened every time, kid you not.

Glynda and Cinder's Dust/Magic/Telekinesis battle. (Completely unaware of what we could do)

The Food Fight (Didn't know Semblance limits, particularly with Pyrrha and Ruby)

Team RWBY's tournament match against ABRN, (Weiss' Dust manipulation strength)

And now, Nora and Ruby's killer combo.

By the way, how do we think they'll start off Volume 5's combat? I know I asked this earlier, but I'm asking who's most likely to get into a fight.

RNJR could do a training battle at Haven. Weiss, I think we mentioned her maybe scuffling with some guards if she gets discovered on the airship. Blake could do more Menagerie shenanigans with Ilia and the like or showcase new aquatic Grimm on her way to Mistral. Yang, perhaps a barfight for some info, or getting harassed / attacked by angry Mistralites who watched her tournament match and knew of her "indecent behavior."
