Like, we've come to find out that one source of problems was the fact that Monty and Shane had a big habit of wanting to make awesome epic stuff happen simply for the sake of coolness without thinking about how that would affect the writing. I see. Personally I like those scenes. They really made the show more action-packed. The episodes that were more regular life were the ones I hate. That and the childish of Nep and Sun when they came with the badges, and prom, and scenes where character write off information as just "crazy!" Instead of using their imaginations and figuring things out.

To me the best episode is still No Breaks. Hands down the best fights and it shows the ladies actually putting in work instead of whining about teen problems and juggling school work.

I always liked manga that was only written and drawn by one person. One vision. One mind. No compromising. If you want something to happen, who's gonna stop you, it's your show/manga/story. With Oum six feet deep in animator's Heaven, I guess it'll be up to his cohorts to try and capture what he once did. I hope Shane can deliver with Adam and Raven when was implied about their skill from jump. Especially what we've seen in the Black Trailer.

Rule of Cool isn't bad until is ruins the story. If you think it's cool to have a fight in space with the lead fighting without breaking, that's stupid if you never set up that that character can even do that. But if I was doing a show I would never have characters slowly get powerful. At the start of the show they would have everything they need to win the war of good and evil. They'd be able to destroy trains if that's the kind of story I was doing. But the point would be the character would have to grow and learn when to go all-out and when to go for precision. Why blow a train up when you could just snipe the driver? See what I mean? Run of cool is fine. But you gotta do it is steps. But that's not to say you have to gradually make characters get stronger. You could just have them gradually get smarter.
