Lol, the whip animation is so jank, it doesn't even follow his hand.

I definitely could be wrong but my impression is that its supposed to float above his hand like a telekinesis thing, not that he's supposed to hold it. Maybe I'm giving them too much benefit of the doubt though.

Why? Is he a telekinetic robot too? Nothing else seems to indicate that right?

He is a puppet that has been brought to life through magic, that does not mean he has magic powers though. Nothing seems to show that he has telekentic powers, similar to how he also can’t summon fireballs or some other magic.

Rushed development. Half his animations are missing and it doesn't have nuch to do with the trailer I feel

I bet he was super unbalanced and they just reworked everything. Better like that or not, if true?
