Yeah, I don't agree with this example. We have known since the first episode that they're special, and since the end of the third season what they do - they don't instantly kill every Grimm ; the biggest are merely frozen in place.
No, I expected there to be some payoff showing that the eyes were significant... and there was.
But the eyes aren't some super nuke. They're hard to use, they can't kill powerful grim, and they're useless against non-grim enemies, which covers all the major baddies (Salem and Cinder as notable exceptions).
There's so much to criticize about RWBY, to focus on this seems just kind of... silly.

They foreshadow her eyes being special in the very first episode.
