And what I need this scene to be.

From what I’ve gathered, her walking up that ladder and this is all the same scene, only we don’t see what happens between. Now, what I would really love to happen is that she walks up the ladder like this:

And walks out into the middle of no-mans land. Once she’s there, I feel like everyone should stop fighting/shooting eachother and just be looking at her like ‘WHAT?’. And I feel like she should have a monologue about man fighting man and not giving in to our inner-evils and stuff. And just when she thinks she’s got through to the fighters, they start shooting at her, which is what leads to this scene:

I mean. Just look at the hurt on her face. Sure, it could be because they are shooting at her, but I think it’s more that she can’t believe they would shoot at her when she was doing nothing wrong, when she was just trying to stop them from killing eachother. To me, Gal’s expression here:

Fits that situation absolutely perfectly. The anguish, the anger - you can almost feel she’s basically going HOW COULD THEY!?

I just realised, it makes TOTAL sense for the H20 girls to have less powers than the Mako Gang.

Many people have said that the reason Evie was able to use all powers was because she had the real mermaids to train her. But then there is the plot hole that the H20 girls would have figured out the other powers, like when Rikki tried all the different hand movements when trying to find her power in 1x01. However, of all the theories I have seen I haven’t seen this one. 

Evie was hit with the force of 50 Full Moons. Think about it, in season 2 of H20 the girls gained more new powers (much like those powers of the Mako gang) after being in the Moonpool under another full moon as Mermaids. Up until this moment (other than when giving up their tails for 12 hours) they hadn’t been in the moonpool as mermaids beneath the full moon. So effectively, we can assume that each full moon they are in the Moonpool they gain newer/stronger powers and become more like natural mermaids, which we have seen to be the case in Season 2 as their powers become much stronger, almost like the powers the natural mermaids have. Seeing as Evie was hit with 50 moons, she already has the equivalent powers of a natural mermaid.

This also justifies why in Mako Mermaids when the girls move the glass of water to Rikki, she raises her hand to stop it. She likely now has Cleo’s power (albeit much weaker than Cleo) as she would have spent many more full moons in the Moon Pool post season 3! 

Me: THAT'S BECAUSE YOU WERE SPECIAL

Rikki: We grew up. We found different interests.

Me: NO. DON'T YOU DARE.

Rikki: Even mermaids move on.
