1-Jaune having no idea what an aura was, like, how?

2-inconsistent fight scenes at the start of season 3.

3-the 3 villains overpowering Amber, but fleeing from Qrow, at the very gate of victory, like, why?

4-getting their face seen there and then going into a worldwide televised event, without taking any real steps to alter their apperarence, even though they legit know the guy is even there with them in Beacon. Save for Neo.

5-how exactly Ruby wnet on her journey at the end of the 3rd season, without her dad noticing?

6-why did Weiss leave? I understand why her father was worried, but she knew what events went down, plus isn't it her thing kinda, top defy him? It's plot setup.

7. I am def not gonna go there. Not gonna argue why in a world, where international travel goes through vast grim infested territories, flying vehicles, that are unreachable by ground grim would be way more convenient and fiscally sensible, supply and demand and whatnot. Or sure, Atlas can go ahead and not share it with the rest of the world, while they are in an eternal struggle against an enemy that wants to destroy them all. 1-Maybe he just didn't know. He was a muggle, an average joe. Best he knew was "Hunters are Heroes", yet not what made them heroes. It's like in Harry Potter, magic is everywhere but most normals don't know it.

2-Which ones?

3-Because they didn't want Qrow to see them up-close and thus know well how they look. Because if he did, goodbye to their plans of infiltrating Beacon and the tournament. Plus, considering Qrow's "level", he could give them a tough fight at that point, and it's better to not risk it unnecesarily; what would they do if Cinder or Emerald got beaten up and captured? They would have to make another plan from scratch at the very least.

4-Okay, and this proves your point that the writers didn't think things through....how? Besides, Qrow didn't get a good-enough look at them so he can't just point at them and reveal them. And Emerald and Merc don't really need any disguises after the tournament, given the extremely low number of people who could even think they were involved with Cinder, a number of people too low to convince anyone.

5-What if he was distracted with something? Considering the food he was bringing Ruby he probably went out for a while and by the time he came back she was already long gone.

6-Are you fucking serious man? What is she going to do if she tries to defy him? What makes you think Papa Schnee would just accept her defiance this time. He wanted her at Atlas so he could actually keep an eye on her, she decided to go to Beacon and after a test she managed to. Then Vale got wrecked, putting at risk the SDC heiress and surely making him think it was a mistake to let her go. Thus he's taking her back to Atlas now.

7-The "cars with wheels" have only really been shown within the cities. Which do not need any hovercars at all to provide good transport. The Airships shown so far seem more like a mixture of ships and planes in terms of purpose, which is good when you need to go to a different continent or an island, but unnecesary when all you have to do is drive down a road.

Flying cars would only be necesary if the cities demanded it. Vale isn't really any different from your average modern-day city. Do we need flying cars in any city here? No we don't. Same there.

They do have transport ships that they do use to go to areas unreachable by ground, such as Beacon. And also to move above, to, and from Grimm-filled areas. Overall, why would they waste resources on flying cars that they don't need? All cities only need normal cars at the moment because they are at ground level, they're not some sci-fy futuristic megalopolis that extends up to the moon.

And if they need to go to an area unreachable by ground, or if they need to move between kingdoms while avoiding Grimm, they already got airships for it, so even the purpose of the flying car is already fulfilled. Just to add somethings, as well. (Not all, only some.)

3. Amber had clearly overpowered them. If it wasn't for an attack from behind, Emerald would have been killed. They were clearly still weak from battle and they couldn't afford to be taken in as prisoners. That's another reason they didn't fight Qrow.

5. Clearly you don't seem to understand how easy it can be to run away. You can do it while your parents are out shopping, while they're busy with other family members, they could have been at work, etc.

6. She left because she had no other choice. If we disrgard the fact her father forced her to leave, where could she go? Her father owns all her money (as we've seen with her trying to pay for lunch) and her school is destroyed. She's lived in Atlasher whole life and isn't a resident of Vale. He basically owns her own life. Unlike Blake who's had to fight for most of her life, Weiss was a rich girl who only wanted to do good. She doesn't strike as the type to go on her own quest, especially after most of team members left.

Honestly, it seems like  SomeoneYouUsedToKnow makes very valid points on the situations and events. 1. Muggle? He comes from a famous, exhalted line of hunters. Even animals have aura. It was an infodump. He should have known, like come on!

2. Whatch the scene with the blonde hottie breaking the iceboulder again.

3. How closer can you get? Swordpoint is not enough? He cut the thingie, you know, the gooey webstuff, cinder used to suck Amber's power out. And Amber was pretty much beaten. Sure, Qrow is a badass, but it is still 3 to 1. Or 3 to 2, with Amber badly injured, léapsing into a coma, and Emerald having a semblance which would be a huge multiplier against qrow, who doesn't know he would be facing illusions, at least not initially. How would qrow capture them, again? Like, you know, beating all three of them?

4. As I just siad. He saw them. Mercury promptly freaks out, when he witness his fight with Winter. Then goes on to fight in the tournament.

5. Sure, if she wants, she can be coy. Little cruel, considering her dad and her sister both have massive issues with abandonment. Still, can be done. So, first calls Jaune and his remaining team, gets his dad out of her hair for a while, knowing when they arrive, then daddy comes home, and before checking on her girls makes some sandwiches he can dramatically drop. Not at all impossible, I admit, but it could have been done less contrieved i think.

6. She already defied him by going to Beacon, and stayed there after he cut him off, so the issue is not money. I think it's odd, because she could have just as easiyl stayed with Ruby. We don't know why she abandoned them, we can easily have a satisfying answer to that.

7. I was under the assumption, that Vale is a kingdom, not a city, thus transportation is cross-country as well. To be honest, I still haven't watched World of Remnant, so there's that. As on wasting resources, well, again flying stadium. Also, wings, that uhm, like flapping (don't now how one say it properly), for no reason.

You might say, I am reaching. There is truth to that. But you also go out of your way to justify stuff, imo. If we need this much afterthought and reasoning than it's the world building that is at fault, I'd think. Which was my original point. That it has it's faults. Good to remember that.

I love this show. I love this world. And I am critical, because of it.
