You know, I'm just going give a few minor changes I would make to this episode that would make the Grimm feel like a legitimate threat, without changing the grander outcome:

1. Replace the scene of the King Taijitu hissing menacingly at Ruby with it clamping its jaws around Ruby or Crescent Rose right after she finishes off the Beowolves, so it looks like she's in legitimate peril instead of being cowardly. Nora flies in a hits the snake in the head like before, saving Ruby, and making JNPR feel like they're saving RWBYs bacon.

2. When Coco guns down the Death Stalker, have it take around 5 seconds to die instead of 0.5 seconds, so it looks like she's grinding down a heavily armoured foe instead of effortlessly destroying an aluminum statue.

3a. Remove the shot of Coco destroying the Nevermores. or...

3b. Have the Nevermores Coco shots be roughly man-sized, like the ones that attacked Yang earlier in the fight. Ether way, the student Coco won't suddenly look more powerful then the teacher Oobleck.

This is why it's disappointing for me: the changes to make the fight "all-good" are tiny; the fight length increase would be measured in seconds, so it probably wouldn't affect the rest of the episode.

Beyond that, I don't really have any complaints about the rest of the episode; other then that it's basically the same ending as Vol1. Which was fine when Black and White did it because it was the first time; it's like in Dorohedoro where a possible clue to the mystery mage shows up: they spend a few chapters investigating only to find out it's a dud. By the 4th time that happened I gave up, because they were clearly going nowhere.

It's not that bad with RWBY yet for me; but I'm worried it will.
