"No longer did we get to see Pyrrha as the perfect warrior who could actually stand a chance against Cinder, who is now so OP it’s almost a joke."

So... once again, I bring up that they've apparently admitted that Monty's "Four Maidens" idea caused them to have to make changes to the original plans, which means at least a little of the changes Shane is upset about might have come from Miles and Kerry including Monty's Maidens idea.

Personally, I like that they included the Maidens, since it made the Silver-Eyed Warriors legend less "what the fuck, out of the blue, deus ex-machina-y". We had already been introduced to the idea of there being legends and fairy tales that are actually completely true, so the Silver-Eyed Warrior thing actually fit in a little better than it probably would have without.
