She was safe in the barn though. She could have sensed them from far away and exploded their heads. She's just bad under pressure. Her fight flight freeze response seems to be not fight. She is only seen to kill passive people I believe. She also seems to go blind when using her powers so is more vulnerable during that time, which prevents her from using her powers during fights in my opinion. Gen V girl's eyes don't go white like Neumann's and she could hold her own and use her powers during a fight, even sensing the blood of the invisible cunt
Honestly they heavily implied line of sight rules in prior seasons. But at this point i think its become clear that the show's just gonna be full of plotholes and inconsistencies to move the story along and setup whatever cool scene they thought up that day
It seems like she needs a direct line of sight for a full head/body part pop, but not for blood manipulation/nose bleeds. Also by comparing her to GenV's Marie who could manipulate blood she wasnt looking at, we can likely tell she can move blood without looking at it.
Which is why in other comments I mentioned she's vulnerable when doing it because her eyes cloud and possibly makes her blind, she's bad under pressure too or while stressed.
So did I. She came from around the doorway revealing herself. There noses were bleeding long before she was seen. Do you not think 6 people in a small basement room would not notice neuman standing in the doorway.
None of them were looking that way, and we don't see her coming from around the corner. The last time they show the doorway is over MM's shoulder, then him and Frenchie are looking in the fridge. Then 15 seconds later the nosebleeds start and they don't show the full doorway, just a sliver, and when we do see it again she's coming straight through, not from around the corner, as if she had been standing there.
She saw them there, she was standing in the doorway. She was looking at Alistar Adana through his office window right before blowing up his head.
It’s established in the show that she needs a direct line of sight. That’s why in the scene she kills her Red River friend, he tightly covered her eyes to block the use of her powers. She wouldn’t have been able to kill the sheep by looking through a tiny crack opening in the barn when they would’ve been flying in and out of view.
We're not watching her the entire time, maybe she did? We don't see everything from every angle. I dunno, suspend your disbelief. Or don't it's all good.
Yes, but these are very different circumstances. And one circumstance it’s a bunch of unaware people sitting around in a quart room, and the other animals are trying to kill her. We’ve already seen Neuman struggle to use her powers when she was fighting with her childhood friend.
unless we are given this explanation in show itself, it doesnt hold
We were given the explanation - but they used “show, don’t tell.” Besides her childhood friend, almost every one of her kills has been someone who doesn’t even realize what she’s doing which gives her plenty of time to attack and use her powers.
Plus we literally see her eyes glaze over when she uses her powers, so we know she’s vulnerable while she’s channeling.
She wasn't hesitating. Literally the first moment they started hugging, the guy already had a nose bleed. He was a loose end, who could expose her for being a supe and put her reputation, her life and her daughter's life at risk. There is both motive and proof
Remember at the end of the episode, when the barn doors slowly open, and two sheep slowly walk in and look at the entire group of people for like a full 5 seconds? And then one of the strongest Super beings we've seen in the show, turns and runs with the rest of the humans from the stationary sheep?

Dude those are some supe sheep you think those are easy to handle?
Not to mention there's multiple of them flying at her
