2. The change in cinematography is aggravating, sure, but what's worse is the change in editing. Gone are the exhilirating fights with fast cuts and constant action - they have been usurped by obnoxious, frequent pauses and 10x the amount of comic relief present up to this point. The editing is noticeably slower, only occasionally reaching the glorious heights it did under Monty's guidance (such as when Ren runs towards the sniper with Pyrrha defending him). Exactly. It felt like this episode had more cartoony comic relief bits than any other episode I've seen. I felt like they were used well in the past seasons -- still cheesy, but used sparingly enough they still made you laugh. I also didn't care for the constant breaks for team chatter. It made it feel like they were new at team fights, or fighting in general.

Other bits:

-- Does anyone else think Scarlett is the LGBT character that has been mentioned? Between his slightly effiminate nature and the guy holding Scarlett's picture with little hearts on it, I'm kinda figuring it's him. If it is, I'm definitely bummed the character that had been mentioned is not a lesbian. (Assuming they're only going to have one.)

-- Oh, Jaune. I like him about half the time, but when he gets the way he does in this episode, I can't stand him. (I blame this more on my personal experience with incompetent/well-intentioned coworkers.) Maybe it's comic relief they're going for, but it makes me feel like Jaune shouldn't be leading JNPR.

-- So, will Pyrrha and Nora be the two going to the next round for JNPR?
