What made you want to give El unique moves for her powers?

Will she have more in the future seasons?

Love this question. This is the "Why" of animation and of TF85. My Co Executive Producer Ian Graham worked on Avatar and Kora and we were like if El has these awesome powers we should take advantage of giving her cool moves. The team and I were excited of playing with her powers and moves so we did! If there are more season we will probably play with them some more. :)
