2) Horribly wrong about Glynda's Semblance. We've seen Glynda send Grimm flying back in the Breach.

Her Semblance is Telekinesis. Nothing says it's some cripplingly-specific version of Telekinesis or anything similar, and if anything, the fact that she's used in against Grimm counters the idea that "it only works on objects".

.......Actually, you do mention when she used it on Grimm and Robots. So, why the hell do you argue against it in the same post?

As for why she didn't use it back in V1E1? Aside from the fact that the show had terrible writing back then, the writers likely thought that if she did that and Roman+Cinder were captured they wouldn't have a plot. (Considering Miles thought that adding date-references in Vol.4 would cause plotholes, somehow, that line of thinking seems believable with him).

Either that or Monty came up with the idea after Volume 1, like the Maidens. Considering Vol.1 and especially the early eps, were a freaking Beta, it seems possible.

5-1) Ozpin leaving everything to the last minute is completely irrelevant. The topic isn't about his phobia to proaction, the topic is about if Cinder had followed them to the Vault before the BoB, and thus ended up in a 1v4 against Ozpin, Glynda, Qrow and Ironwood.

As for Teamwork, they do work well together. Glynda has great skill at using Dust, Telekinesis, and can block explosions. Ironwood offers support fire to harass Cinder alongside Glynda. Ozpin assaults Cinder nearly non-stop.

And Qrow? He's the most versatile and balanced. Can fight up-close, and from range. Has speed and power and agility and can even turn into a bird giving him unrivaled mobility. The only thing he's missing is Dust. Qrow is the kind of character that can be added to any team without any problems (sans his Semblance, but that only works when the writers demand it).

Even if Glynda didn't use his Telekinesis on Cinder herself they all work together. Glynda has enough skill to not mess up the others, and she could well use the Rubble to protect them from attacks or trapping Cinder, among many other things.

By the way, you say "it has a large spread". But that's ignorant, just plain ignorant. She can send things flying in a general direction. But she can also just grab something specific and move it around, and we have at least 3 scenes where she does just that. Her Telekinesis is not limited to sending things flying, so there's no reason to assume it would risk Friendly Fire.

5-2) Qrow's Semblance is the 2nd biggest bane on this show, but mostly because it's designed to cause bullshit when the writers feel like it. But again, when the writers feel like it, otherwise it's like it's not even there. Hell, in this very episode his Semblance didn't mess anyone up.

Nothing bad here happened by pure chance.

>Emerald was smart and hit Ruby when she caused the Silver Blast.

>Vernal was smart and pwned Weiss around without letting her do anything.

>Cinder threw the javelin at Weiss after Weiss had already been weakened, and she was aiming at Weiss from the start.

If anything, the fact that the Javelin did not hit her in the chest (heart, lungs, spine....) is some great damn good luck.

So, woala, Qrow's Bad Luck Semblance doesn't mean Cinder would win a 1v4. Even if things go wrong it's not necesarily his fault.
