Controversial Opinión:
I liked the premise of Qrows alcoholism changing from a joke to an issue because it’s honestly a great idea to have the the things the audience laughed along at be cast in a different light that makes them question their own reactions. Like instead of feeding them the answer from then get go. Implementation was off tho
honestly? agree.
i think the main criticism comes from how it was essentially never addressed again post some love sick gazing between him & clover alongside one minor moment of temptation but. if it had been implemented into the narrative properly, it could’ve been a really good moment of showing how ruby’s world view is developing as our main protaganist.
no longer are qrow’s antics just her “funny drunkle qrow” like both her & the audience thought, we now get to see them for what they actually are; the incredibly maladaptive & harmful coping mechanisms of a severely traumatized man. ruby isn’t seeing the world, or her uncle, with rose coloured glasses anymore & neither should we. it’s just the implementation & subsequent handling of the material left a lot to be desired.
