"Doesn't the fact that she demonstrated dragging that amount of weight around only ONCE in the series and no other human in the show does it make the Nevermore feat an inconsistency?"
Not at all, and RWBY characters are far more powerful than just average humans.
"Again, she struggled to carry Penny and she was not the mass of class M."
If anything, THIS is the inconsistency.
"Nora's page, said her lifting strength is more than Ruby but she stated and I quote "I can lift five of me!" That is not Class M so either Nora's the weakest character on the show or you guys need to look at all the facts."
How does her saying she can lift five of herself discredit her having Class M lifting strength? She never implies that's her upper limit, that's like saying Superman can lift a planet but then says he can lift a building and then saying that discredits him lifting a planet somehow.
"Physically, the strongest person in the show is Penny with Yang right behind her. Seriously, rewatch the volumes and tell me; does EVERYONE look strong enough to qualify for class M?"
Yes, Ruby is one of the weakest characters when it comes to physically lifting things.
"The Nevermore was the first major fight in volume one and after that, that kind of strength was never shown again. Again Nora can only lift "five of her", and Ruby struggled with carrying Penny."
Nora never says she can ONLY lift five of herself. Yang carried a massive amp, heavy enough to shake everything in the room when she set it down, with one hand like it was a paperweight, Penny pulled an airship out of the sky with casual ease and stopped a speeding truck with her bare hands, Nora easily lifted a 1000 lb barbell, casual lifting strength feats like this are actually quite common.
"Also in the fight at the docs when Roman shot down a crate to try and crush Sun and Blake, they dodged out of the way. If they were really class M, they could just catch it. Also Weiss in no way is Class M, not one bit. In her new character short for volume fight she was losing to a Beowolf that was on top of her. If she was class M, she would have been able to flick it aside with her pinky finger."
PIS, plain and simple.
"She dragged the Nevermore across the cliff and that is indeed an impressive feat. But she was using the momentum of the slingshot glyph and her recoil to help with lifting it."
No, she used the momentum of the slingshot to hit the Nevermore and the shots to increase her speed. If she wasnt able to support the weight of the Nevermore, Crescent Rose wouldve been ripped out of her hands before she even took a single step.
"And we don't know whether or not the gravity glyphs were helping her but we DO know that she nor any of the other RWBY characters ever display this kind of strength ever again."
The only thing they were doing was keeping her from falling as she was running at a 90 degree angle up a cliff. And yes, they do.
"I think the Nevermore was a one time thing RT decided to retcon to make it a more grounded show."
Never once has a retcon been shown, stated, or even implied in RWBY
