1-Maybe, but still. The intro was basically like this: It wasn't bad, it wasn't a terrible idea. There were just better alternatives.

2-People can use Dust because of 1)Aura, and 2)Technology. It's very obvious, the first one is shown even before the show with the White Trailer. Still, you're taking the words too literally

3-They likely were afraid of Roman, the wanted, infamous smooth criminal. Which also explains why the police didn't arrive; no one called them, because they were afraid of what he could do to them if they called the police or something.

4-Agreed.

5-Well, he clearly didn't "test" those mooks beforehand. He can't be blamed for expecting more than he should have. If you buy a gun, you expect it to work, no?

6-....You seriously asked such a dumb question? He just got his Aura unlocked. There's a huge, significant difference between "your potential" and "your current limits". A Hunter that just got his Aura is barely any different from the average person. The only difference is that thanks to Aura, said Hunter can, through training, go further than the average person can go in a lifetime.

Besides, there's a difference between "having lots of Aura" and "having a shitty Aura". You can have a lot of soldiers, beat your oponent's army by a thousand men. But if your soldiers have worse armor, worse weapons, and worse training and experience than the enemy army's, then your army is worse due to simply having worse quality. Jaune by then had not even started training, didn't even know how to fight right. Do you expect him to have an ultimate shield that can nullify anything right at the start?

7-Monty said himself that the Red Trailer didn't really show her character, it was more of a weapon's trailer. Why, don't ask me, it's possible he hadn't thought of how exactly Ruby would be by the time the trailer was finished.

Plus, you can't just ignore evidence simply because it comes before of the thing you're reviewing. That's simply stupid. Ruby has shown many times to be quite dumb sometimes. Didn't move when Roman fired at the Dust, got herself in the way of Weiss's attack, tried to Leeroy Jenkins against the Deathstalker, all that in barely half the volume.

And that's not what Plot Armor is, you retard. That's called giving a character the Idiot Ball, in this case Ruby. Plot Armor is when a character just doesn't die no matter how impossible the odds are (in a zombie apocalypse, you're surrounded by zombies, no med kit, no ammo. You survive with no help or good explanation. That's plot armor).

8-So you did ignore evidence simply because it's explained later. You know what, you may as well shut up and take that shitty review of yours somewhere else if you're going to be like that. You're not doing it right, don't just ignore this fact. Hell, you sound like you don't even know about troper use of tropes.

Go read some fucking TvTropes for once, kid.

10-Yes. When you put everything in words with no italics or bold, it's hard to know if you're being sarcastic or whatever.

12-New to the internet? What the hell does that have to do with you calling Barbara a man? Hell, if you were trying to be funny, you just sounded stupid (and on purpose apparently, to make it worse). If you're going to make a joke, make it clear it's a joke and make sure it's funny.

13-Same reason as 10 and 12.

14-...

15-Before Cinder and co. started to work with them, the WF were more of a trivial threat. They were unable to do anything that could cause major damage and force the government to respond, at worst they did the same things any rookie delinquent could do, excluding things like the Black Trailer which involved one of the few of them that actually did something.

Once they started working with Cinder, they were able to amp up their game with their new toys, which is exactly what Cinder wants. Part of her plan involves shattering such time of peace.

16-She was trained by Qrow, who is known to be the only other person to use a Gunscythe of that kind. If she trained under him, then it's understandable if she used the same design he used, with only minor adjustments, but too minor to call it "a different weapon". If Qrow used the same design, then Ozpin would have seen said weapon beforehand.

So that's how your reviews are going to be? So you want us to listen to your shitty, simple-minded, closed-ended views on everything in each episode, combined with a bad sense of sarcasm and hilarity that don't make up for it, and how you basically disregard everything that is explained throughout the volume?
