What happened to the "rule of cool"?

I think that the main reason I'm not sure when and if I will play this game is that I don't see much "cool" stuff in it, save for the jetpack (which, by being availble to everyone and being a movement paradigm shift in MEA is kinda less cool than it should be).

Let's compare it to the amount of "cool" factor ME3MP threw at you.

1) Krogan bitchslaps = cool.
2) Drell cartwheels (and Thane model overall) = super cool.
3) Quarian asses = so cool it made you forget the turret is shit.
4) Biotic dubstep = cool.
5) Sabotage cheese = cool.
6) grab kills = badass and cool.
7) Krogan grab kills = OMG HE DOESNT EVEN NEED OMNI SHITS cool.
8) Biotic bubble stasis = OMG YASS cool when you did it in the right place.
9) grenade spam = cool.
10) a fucking KROGAN NAIL THROWER (among other badass guns like Javelin) = cool.
11) different heavy melees with elemental effects = cool.
12) Novaguarding = cool.

Then, not much later, first DLC came, which introduced:

1) Geth turret recharging shields = cool
2) playing geth in the first place = cool
3) geth wallhack vision = super cool
4) biotic bubble ME2 sucicide mission style = cool
5) batarian wrist blades = savage and cool
6) batarian heavy melee = cool, with added hatesurfing lolz
7) batarians wearing spike armor = retardedly cool.

A lot of things never made sense. But the design team clearly wanted the shit they put in to be AWESOME, even if the reasoning for it was questionable. Each and every DLC followed this principle by giving you over-the-top characters and mechanics. But even the basic ME3MP looked a lot less... basic than what I see in ME:A.

What are the characters/powers with which ME:A takes it's chances and makes fun stuff with them? So far I haven't seen anything. I'm not even talking the absurd "really?" level of cool like N7 trenchcoat teleporting ironman.
