In the end, I was bored with the main plot for this volume. One sided curb stomps, in either direction, don't appeal to me at all. It just makes characters look like useless idiots. And unlike the walking eternally smirking contemptible shitbags that make up most of the bad guys in this show, I liked Ozpin and co. (Well, except for Qrow, but that's another matter). Watching them flail around uselessly, their greatest achievement in the volume being Operation: Torture Pyrrha, wasn't fun. It wasn't even interesting. It was predictable, depressing, and boring. By the time Torchwick managed to completely hijack the Atlas military with the superduper evil computer virus we still don't have a goddamn explanation for, I knew that not a single adult hero in this show would achieve anything.
And in the end, the 'school of superheroes' setting I was interested in is gone, replaced by 'kids have to clean up after the adults failures'. Kinda meh.
Also, while well written, brilliantly acted, and generally well done, the entire Yang plotline from Neo onwards can kindly go jump in a woodchipper.
EDIT: The noodle stand and Winter and Weiss' interactions are some of my favourite scenes in the show, end of story.
