@ 73.Anon.52: The 'out of character' most likely relates to her anger/rage/sadness (negative emotions) over her mother's death which is attracting the Grimm who she then delves out her anger on by slaughtering them like crazy.

@ LiveandSound: I know what you're trying to say, but it's not really a finale, just a cliffhanger. If it gets stolen in the Season finale, sure, we'll all be pissed, but when you read a book, does the protagonist always have to steal the spotlight every chapter? There also hasn't been any end to an arc yet; we're still bringing things in. Blake's story arc with the WF is far from over, and will likely pick up even more now that Adam's back.

Yang and Weiss weren't even there until after it was over, so RWBY as a whole didn't get their spotlight stolen. Plus, if we saw Blake kicking ass all the time, there would be no growth to her skills as a fighter. If she wasn't as shitty the first time, would her kicking Roman's ass at the end of Vol 2 feel as rewarding? If Roman was such a pushover all the time, we wouldn't take him seriously.

Hmm.. did CFVY land in the same area? I don't remember seeing RWBY, JNPR, or anyone else in the background, and since they were short on time, they could have reused the same backdrop. *shrugs* it is what it is.

Some robots did fail, and it took like 4-5 to take down an Ursa, but that wasn't the focus. As you said it was a story point about Ironwood's character.

Though I agree Ruby could have stumbled upon the demo and be interested, you missed the point about foreshadowing for Ironwood and the larger world plot.
