Besides, it’s not like you would have actually been pleased with what they would have used to replace those scenes…I know a lot of people wanted more action or dark scenes when they mean “relevant” but truth of the matter is, this show, from as far early as episode 1 of volume 1, is taking the Jack of all stats route, being 1 third character developing, 1 third action and 1 third comedy, which was DEFINETLY apparent with the ball arc. Even if they took out Jaune's part from the ball arc, I can guarantee you they would have not replaced the scenes with Ruby reminiscing about her mother, or Ironwood fighting Cinder for a bit, or CFVY and their mission, or anything those that hated the arc would call “relevant”, because this isn’t what this show is about.
