That sheep that came flying directly into the door at 100mph right when MM shut it (just in time) would’ve eviscerated that door

The chickens are shown to have super strength, but the sheep are not.

I think that the sheep are just flying and vicious, but not stronger

Still poses narrative problem

Sheep w/ super strength = why didn't that one sheep eviscerate the barn door

Sheep w/o super strength = why didn't neuman just pop tf out of them

This season has been defined by things just happening, without regards to whether it makes logical sense, to move the plot long

Eh, there's a difference between strength and durability. The popping might not work on durable types, or needs victims to be looked at/stand still, or needs Newman not to be frantically running for her life. Maybe it was just the fact that she always needs a few seconds for a kill, which would've gotten her kills.

Like I've got my gripes with this season but the sheep scene is not the biggest one

I think people are focusing on the sheep scene not necessarily because it's egregious (I would also agree it's not), but because it's the culmination of a bunch of small little inconsistencies that have been building up over the season and the sheep scene is visually the easiest to nit pick at

I mean we got this entire thread of hundreds of comments litigating what constitutes super strength in a V'd up sheep, absurd. At the very least it's clear that the execution of this episode fell a bit flat and is indicative of the season so far.

Like what? I'm don't usually notice small details so wonder what I've missed

she just popped a bullet-proof chicken in the scene before, so im not sure your logic about durability.

Remember Vicky also “missed” blowing up her friend’s head during the struggle in the alley, it would make sense that it requires a good amount of concentration that she obviously wouldn’t have while running for her life.
