I'm going to fucking pay you to buy yourself a clock and a sense of time, because that whole expositive explanation of Nora's Semblance too faaaar more than 5 seconds. Hell, 5 seconds with no explanation at all, just showing her getting shocked and then getting stronger, was all that was needed.

Not true this is one of the few oportunities where it's possible to make exposition feel organic, for if we didn't know she ran on electricity we would have just though she ran on power, and there wouldn't be a huge distinction between her semblance and Yang's, this is particularly important because it undoubtedly will become a deciding factor later on in the season, the Tournament's entire purpose is exposition, introduce the soon to be somewhat relevant side characters, introduce fun facts about known characters, and set the stage for the conflict, including irrelevant bits save for commedic effect I trust is something Rooster Teeth knows better than to do. When you recognize the season layout RT favors for all their shows with continual stories, the first few episodes of the season are always expositionary, followed by first contact with conflict, then major internal conflict mixed with the comedy heavy section, then conflict picks up in full force and topped off with some form of cliffhanger or lasting sentament.
