2) Neo's Semblance changes materials.......She may break the fundamental law of our universe that matter cannot be created or destroyed, but 1) as Monty would say, Remnant is not our universe and 2) Rule of Cool.

6) It made good sense because they were flashbacks.

6.2) I stand with Blizz here though because it shows that this is how Ruby remembered them better

11) No, that's Mantle. Besides Kerry, regardless of what the map said, everything about the single view we've seen screams visual distinction, especially the color difference. Mantle = orange, Atlas = blue. There's three "tall" buildings in Mantle but way more in Atlas, etc.

13.2) "Flying monkeys" is a reference to the Wizard of Oz...

13.21) We should be seeing more of them

13.22) They don't need a visual overhaul to warrant being used again. 2) Ok, but that means she literally can turn X into Y, transform it into something that is completely different inside and outside, in volume and mechanisms and everything. Without fail.

It doesn't necesarily defy that law of nature in the sense of "matter can only be blah blah" because it's transforming (though that assumes they have the same mass and all, which is doubtful). But:

1> It's still pretty absurd to do it so flawlessly.

2> It's not illusions, so we were lied to outright, since we were outright told her deal was Ilusions (in contrast to Emerald's Hallucinations).

6) Being flashbacks doesn't make the use of 2D make sense or even justify it's use. In what universe does one thing even have anything to do with the other?

Back in the Beacon Saga they at least used the WoR style, making them look at least somewhat artistic. Different from this which doesn't even bother with that.

6.2) Yes, using 2D drawings over 3D animation clearly shows Ruby remembers those scenes better. Now, does that honestly sound like sound logic to you?

11) I see. But yes, I noticed the color difference. Mantle striked me as a more industrial place at first glance in fact with those colors.

13.2) Holy fuck, really?

13.21) And we can see more of them. Without just lazily giving them wings and pretending they're some brand new Grimm.

13.22) Which is part of my point. If they wanted to show Beringels again, just use Beringels again. They don't need to be given wings to show up again in this show, all they have to do is just fucking use the fucking models.

If they wanted to make flying monkeys they could've easily made a new Grimm instead, like they did with the Manticore and Sphynx and Leviathan.
