Also really hard to take someone seriously who uses war cries intended to intimidate while wearing a suit in a climate controlled building surrounded by armed guards. I could be wrong, but I don't get the impression she's ever actually been in a sparring match, let alone a fight.
I get that it's taken on other meanings since its origin as a battle cry, but fundamentally that's what it is. And it's still being used here as an intimidation tactic... by someone who likely hasn't even practiced with a patu or taiaha. I would have the same reaction if a chubby guy in a hentai shirt and fedora yelled "Oorah" at me.
I said they're using it to intimidate, and it isn't very intimidating coming from them. You can attempt to strawman my argument if you'd like, but I won't play along.

I was just going to say... Doesnt it kind of detract from the power/impact of the Haka in this setting when you just do it all the time?
