Why is Sam significantly more creative with her powers as a 12 yo compared to when she’s 19?

Is there an actual reason behind it or is it just because it’s her own episode and creators just had fun with her powers

    I wish she had a different set of abilities entirely, seems like I see a thread here every week “why didn’t Atom Eve just do ____ in this situation?”.

    Because her powers are ill-defined and way too strong for her character in a narrative sense, so most of the time she won’t be using them in a way that would instantly win any fight.

    As for this question specifically, I don’t agree with the mental gymnastic answers to make it make sense narratively, I think the simplest and probably truest answer is the bigger budget, and more focus on the character for the special, whereas in season 1 she didn’t get a lot of fights to show off.

    I predict in season 2 we’ll get more creative use of her powers in line with what we saw in the special.
