    Yeah, that specific fight is trivial with her powers. She can’t affect organic material but she’s fighting a guy who’s mostly machine. Just, like… turn all of the robot parts into pasta. Easy peasy and you get a nice snack!

      What? She turned an entire tree into a house, and an apple into solid gold. Are trees not organic?

      The show itself really downplays her material warping powers in favor of her pink lantern powers

      Quite a big contrast with her performance in her special

      And because she didn’t take it seriously, innocents died.

      I really am loving her character arc, focusing on how superpowers affect civilians. Probably my favorite part of the season.

        I felt like it was out of character considering how affected she was by the building collapse

          Nah, she was on a short fuse and didn’t think of the consequences of her actions, that’s like the entire point of her arc. Yes she was affected by the building collapse, but realising a problem with how she handles things and actually changing it are two different things

        The couple that died looked a lot like her parents too, adding to the trauma that situation would cause

      She can’t affect organic material

      I mean… she can, right? She created food, and later turned an apple into gold.

      I think it’s more like she can’t affect sentient beings due to some kind of mental block (the one mentioned in her 2x00 episode?), and she sees those cybernetic parts as pieces of a sentient being.

      I’ve never understood why she doesn’t just turn an opponent’s clothing into vipers or molten lava or something if it’s a life or death situation.
