I'd also like to bring up the distinction between a cool maneuver, and a cool pose. There's all sorts of potentially cool-looking moves that are also effective in combat, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with using them (either in animation or in real life). However, there's absolutely no practical reason for making cool poses (they're pretty much just beauty shots), and that's exactly what Alto got called on.
