Why didn't they just jump over all of Caster's monsters?

Because UFO probably rightly decided that tension less action scenes with a goofy villain would make more money than more in depth character development

But Zero had shitloads of long talking segments. I remember episode 12 being nothing but dialogue.

>>150661840
There were like 4 entire episodes of snore fest crazy cooky caster vs everybody else. He should've been killed off in episode 2

>Jump over tentacle beasts
This will invariably end with them being grabbed by tentacles and raped until mind break. They knew this, and thus didn't attempt it.

why didn't they just fly over it?

>>150661926
Remember when Caster first appeared to Saber, said she really hated him, fired a warning shot, then just let him go?

>>150661982
These guys can jump across and up skyscrapers. They're clearly getting nowhere fighting on ground. Lancer says later on he's confident he can hit the book from a far greater distance, so lop his head off in one bound why don't you. Likewise, why not immediately land a followup attack with Buidhe after hitting the book.

PS: How the fuck you you pronounce Diarmuid Ua Dubhine and Buidhe?

>>150663153
She had a broken left arm and it was not profitable to fight.

Fate pwoerlevels are retarded
>tentacle dies to a bunch of shitter flies
>Saber actually got bound by them
What the literal fuck

Except for that A-rank magic resistance, general ability still being mostly fine (not like she retreated from that harbor fight), and Casters being notably shit at combat. Also, if they can 'read' their opponent's general stats, she should know his are particularly low. She knows she has to kill em' all, she specifically wants to kill this guy, and it's well within her ability. He couldn't even react to Invisible Air.

>underestimating tentacle beasts
It's like you want to be raped and mind broken.

Saber is a huge jobber in Zero:

-Lost to Diarmuid cause she made extremely stupid mistakes in her fight with him
-Almost got her head smashed in by a lamppost until Diarmuid saved her.
-Bullymeat for Kiritsugu
-doesn't kill Caster despite hating him and having several opportunities
-Has to be saved from Caster's monsters by Diarmuid.
-Bullymeat for Rider and Gil
-Attacked by JETS. She's never hit but is bailed out by Diarmuid and Gil
-Saved by Diarmuid for the fourth fucking time by breaking his spear to let her Excaliblast Caster, which she objected to
-Killed Caster
-Excalibast somehow not fast enough to kill Rider's slow ass. She lets him go afterwards
-Bullymeat for Lancelot
-Pushed back by Lancelot using Arondight but doesn't manage to kill her (impressive considering her very low morale and having Dragon alignment).
-Kills Lancelot with invisible air offscreen (somehow)
-Beat by Gil in the finale with only a couple gates open.

Zero Saber was a mistake. Nasu should've bitch slapped Urobutcher.

>>150664072
Nasu wrote the outline for Urobuchi to follow.

>>150664394
That's the character list and general plot outline, a lot of which is stuff known in the VN (Kirei is the first one out, Kerry makes Kayneth suicide his servant before killing him, final fight is Saber vs. Gil, etc). Urobutchi handled the characters, how they get to and from those points, and all the descriptions.
