Considering the fact that the purpose of a lot of 3a is about them trying to get derek to kill his pack to become stronger i think that makes a lot of the fight between derek and Kali about the power boost that comes from killing your pack. Also Dereks pack was voluntarily turned and they voluntarily left. He allowed them all there decisions he never tried to force them to do anything. Unlike peter who had to force scott to lose control in the hopes that he would kill his friends. We also still cant mention anything about peoples fighting skills because like i said theres never been an equal fight. In truth Kali was a better fighter as the actress playing her has in krav maga. You're confusing real life and the show.

The actress was chosen for the role because Kali was supposed to have mad fighting skills, not the reverse. Casting choices got made based on what the characters were supposed to do (hence, identical twins for Voltron Wolf).

But you have to keep in mind that Jeff is prone to make statements about ideas that he has which ultimately he abandons or never gets around to putting into the script. For example, in 3a there was supposed to be a "bromantic triangle" between Scott, Stiles and Isaac, since neither Scott nor Stiles had any male friends previously. But in the end that plot line got ditched. Scott and Stiles mostly acted as normal, Isaac was often off with Allison instead and Stiles didn't seem the slightest bit threatened by his friendship with Scott.

The stuff that comes out of Jeff's mouth in interviews and Q&A's are just thoughts that he has, which he may or may not actually use on the show.

In any event, the simple fact remains that Derek's on-screen use of Alpha powers was nowhere even close to what Peter or Talia had. Heck, it would appear that even Laura knew how to transform based on her corpse. But then, as the expected heir to her mother she would have been taught to do that. Derek was never expected to be the Alpha, and he was not a very impressive one. Which is why Cora expressed such disappointment in him. They never bothered to explain where she was getting her information (just like they never explained her period), but my guess is that the rumors of a powerful new Hale Alpha in Beacon Hills were a confused mix-up of word of Peter and Derek.
