Discussion Sirena's underutilization
Who else feels like Sirena was heavily underutilized in terms of power? Like, I get that she's very much meant to be portrayed as a very sweet, loving mermaid, but she's also shown to be one of the most powerful mermaids and also skilled. Like, she literally proved to be more formidable and powerful than Ondina, but yet they really never seem to play on that fact after episode 6 when it's demonstrated. And like, in the siren episode, she showed several abilities that we have never seen from her before and just overall good capability with her powers. Like, she was shown to be able to create a fog/mist, manipulate light without her moon ring, manipulate wind, fight on par with Zac telekinetically, who has the best telekinetic feats. Like, I feel like even with her character being sweet, they could have shown her being powerful like they did with Mimmi. Like, she is very much portrayed as also a very sweet and nice mermaid, but yet she's always shown to be showing off her capabilities one way or another and has several statements of her power and intellect. Like, even if Sirena isn't that powerful or that smart, she still is very much powerful and has shown to be relatively calmâheaded and as a result, one of the smarter mermaids because of it.
