To be fair, the purpose of that flashback was NOT to "hype" Roma up...it was basically to explain who she was and her role in all of this. she has never been depicted as a "badass fighter" (heck, every fight she actually is in, she loses, because she keeps clowning around as she does) so I don't get how the fandom can be let down by this.

She was never hyped up, just explained.

And to be fair, What Urie did to her was extreme overkill...even by ghoul-standards. (cutting her head off, imapling it in half, chopping up her body into mashed potatoes...and ripping her kagune off her.)

I would call bullshit if she had survived something like that.

So the writing for Roma is still on point.

Just because she founded a group, it doesn't make her the top-dog of it. She's just the spark to trigger events...not the blaze burning everything to the ground.

And sparks can always be stomped out.

As Urie did with her accordingly.
