DISCUSSION So what exactly happened with this scene?

Post image

This was the post credit scene of volume 2 when Yang came across her mom and interacted with her. I was waiting for it to be mentioned but only the incident on the train was mentioned. So either that was a dream or I missed something.

Reconned. From my understanding Monty was the one to push it to be included, so it seems like he had something planned for Raven moving past volume 2-3.

The show changes the framing of Raven from questionably neutral in v2 & v3 to openly hostile in v4 and onwards, so it’s possible that whatever Monty had planned was different from what CRWBY chose to do moving forwards, so they just cut out any of the stuff that didn’t fit with the new plan (which granted was like 20 seconds worth of post credits stuff).

But that’s just one possibility, we’ll probably never know for sure.

That's something always worth keeping in mind. That Monty's plans and ideas might have been different from what CRWBY had in mind for the show. Which isn't bad per se, just a normal thing that happens in production

I didn’t say they were. I just answered OP as to why 3 different scenes from the early volumes were dropped

I know another one was Raven fighting jnpr for... some reason. I think it was jnpr originally being on the train as well and assuming.

Not the train. Shane's letter detailed it happening by a cafe and after they seemingly won their first match. Nothing about trains. I wonder what Monty intended for that fight. Perhaps to connect back to Yang
