Discussion History YMMV / RWBY

So I don\\\'t believe it\\\'s complaining about things not going the way people wanted, or the matter of waiting for this plotline to \\\"finish\\\"; The plotline of Cinder wanting revenge on Ruby, training to overcome the damage Ruby did to her, seeing her again, and then ignoring her when they finally meet has passed. The opportunity has been missed. Because remember, Haven is the first time Ruby and Cinder have been face to face since Volume 3. This is their first meeting after Ruby did whatever to mess up Cinder\\\'s face and arm, and Cinder has been thinking about revenge since then, enough that her first reaction on seeing an illusion of Ruby is to burn it to a crisp and (again) she\\\'ll compromise the villains\\\' mission (given to her by Salem) to get a chance to fight Ruby. So yeah, wasted plot.

(And note, this is from someone who actually enjoyed the Jaune vs Cinder interaction. It\\\'s just that Ruby should have been involved somehow, even if it was just Cinder trying to gun for her and getting blocked by Jaune. She\\\'s the one who Cinder hates. Cinder hardly knows or cares who Jaune is. If her hate for Ruby was so strong that she\\\'d compromise the villains\\\' mission over it, she should have been after Ruby like an angry living fireball.) (Edit: Upon viewing the episode again, Ruby and Cinder don\\\'t even \\\'\\\'talk\\\'\\\' except for a single angry \\\"Cinder.\\\" from Ruby. Cinder does not acknowledge her at all and taunts Qrow instead.)

TL;DR: The \\\"wasted plot\\\" is in Cinder and Ruby\\\'s first meeting since V3 having them barely interact after two volumes of building up Cinder\\\'s desire for revenge. When the one she wants revenge on is right in front of her, she only attacks her once before moving on to Jaune. Opportunity, missed; Plot, wasted.
