1-You are misunderstanding Phantom on your first point. Phantom means an aproximate name, not the exact same. Therefore, in Remnent, there's probably a old sea god thats aproximately like Neptune, but not the same guy.

2-(Of course, Remnent could also turn out to be a future Earth and the above becomes unnecassary, but that's a seperate issue.) 1-But his point is still saying that there's an equivalent in Remnant despite absolute lack of evidence of such. That Neptune is called Neptune, so obviously they have another planet on their star system whose only real differences with Neptune are a bit of the size and shade of blue, even though no one has mentioned or shown any such planet.

Or that some pantheon no one has mentioned in any way before obviously also has a god of the sea that is like Neptune.

That's the problem. Like I said, it's way too hand-wavey and convenient, and not the good kind of hand-wavey, and has no evidence of any sort.

2-The more I watch the show, the more I feel the writers seem scared of making it different and unique beyond a few key things. Same 4 stations, no unique Remnant-exclusive species shown so far beyond Grimm and maybe Rapier Wasps (and we got too many killer wasps already)....

Eventually, it may reach the point where Remnant looks less like a different world and more like Alternate History Earth.
