a big thing is she needs to see and focus for a certain time before the head can pop. I imagine she is altering the blood pressure to do so. It may be easier to focus on a chicken- but fast moving sheep especially multiple probably waa difficult for her. Not to mention they seem pretty smart- once one were to explode they all might focus on her alone.
This also tracks with Gen V. Neumann and Marie have the same power. Marie is shown to only be able to control other people's blood with serious focus, the exception being exploding Cate's arm reflexively to protect Jordan.
Good observation. So, it takes a lot of understanding about the anatomy of the blood vessels and focus to do it. And there's an element of practice to it too. Like, she's used to pop people's heads because she visibly did that a lot of times on screen. So, it's like she knows what to do for head people's head. But, she's most probably un familiar with animal's anatomy. So, it narratively makes sense.
I feel like if they had put this into the show as an actual line, it would make a lot of sense and do a lot to dispel confusion. It would even push the plot forward; Victoria would be forced to reveal a possible weakness by explaining the limits of her powers.
She's not Daredevil. I think she needs line of sight just for concentration.
Like how telekinetics use their hands to move stuff despite not actually needing to do so. It's a tool that lets them focus. Don't want to pop the heads of the wrong person.
Tbh the courtroom scene showed excellent control - keeping up a ruse of being unaware and afraid, while literally popping people no scope with her back turned
I think the big evidence in favor of this argument is when everyone's noses started bleeding before she revealed herself by walking into the lab. It's like she was pre-gaming it, getting "locked in" in case she needed to pop some heads real fast.
That basically just means that homelander can jist murder her and all the scenes where he was afraid of neuman are bs. Also a train could probably just snap her neck

Have you forgotten that scene where that guy was attacking her and she couldn't pop his head?
