@Glass:

2. If he was chosen by Salem to get shit done, I would expect to competent enough in battle to not let that shit get in the way of his mission. Excuse for expecting more of someone who is clearly presented as a skilled and trusted fighter on the villain side as well as being unhinged.

4. There's a difference between being caught off guard and letting your guard down. One is success on your opponent's part, the other is a failing on yours.

5. Implications sir, implications. Salem is powerful, Salem is smart, are we expected to believe she would choose and entrust important tasks to someone incompetent and/or unskilled? No. Should we expect a crazy person who serves a fucking god of monsters to be scared by a guy who punched him in the face after he disarmed him? No. His occupation is not irrelevant and his craziness only bolsters the point counteracting him being intimidated.

6. As Someone said, Qrow is a 40 year veteran who has been out on far more missions and has experienced far more shit than Ruby has. He has experience and he knows how to fight without his own shit getting in the way too much. The same should apply to Tyrian, who seems to have quite a bit of experience as well.

7. Because Qrow's mistakes were quite frankly stupid. It's difficult to reduce them to having a similar effect but be justifiable.

A. There are other ways of going about it. Or they simply could've had Tyrian rush Qrow the moment he saved Ruby and not even let Qrow turn his head to her.

B. Qrow is a main character, Ruby was a liability.

Doesn't Qrow doing it still show the villain isn't untouchable? Ruby only managed it because Qrow did all the work first. Ruby dealing the final blow offers nothing extra in my eyes.
