Yeah, they did say Monty wanted Blake to cut the train itself in half in the Black Trailer and the only reason he didn't is because Miles told him she couldn't because she's not strong enough to.

Miles freaking out about Penny cutting airships in half was Shane's doing, rather than Monty's, but it's still a symptom, considering Shane was trained by Monty and had the same mindset. Monty and Shane (I think it was especially Shane?) had been joking with Miles and Kerry about cutting ridiculous things in half ever since Miles told Monty not to have Blake cut the train in half. "This is the episode where Ruby cuts the entire world in half!!" That kind of thing. So, when he went and had Penny cut airships in half, Miles' kneejerk reaction was "You son of a bitch!" before he calmed down and said Penny can do that because she's powerful.

I think one big reason Miles and Kerry get in on fight scene choreography now is because, used to, the major fight choreography was left up to Monty and Shane in a way where Miles and Kerry didn't always know what exactly was gonna happen in the fight unless they wrote something for it in the script. This led to Monty and Shane doing things that affected the presentation of the story and the characters' abilities and stuff like that.
