And then people would be whining about not having the original cast.
Just because magic is the main method of doing things doesn't mean something can't easily come around and counter it. Would be incredibly stupid to believe that magic works for every situation all the time. Their heavy reliance on magic is what's biting them in the ass in this situation.

She hopes so, anyways. We already know for a fact that Thoma will stay reacted even when unconscious.

Is my point made? And then the one time it looks like the heroes have the edge over the Hucks, Karen the Walking Desu Ex Machina comes in and nullifies it immediately. There's a difference between being competent and being completely fucking unstoppable.

So you'd rather see the good guys come out on top when they're facing foes with abilities they've
never encountered before, are
ill prepared for, using equipment they
aren't used to, that pretty much goes against the way they've fought for
over 15 years...
Yeah, I'd say it'd be more bullshit mary sueness on the hero's part if they didn't get their asses kicked with all that stacked against them.
