Help with this sentence A reel is a cylinder that can be wound with flexible material like film or fishing line. Why “material” not “materials”? I thought it was countable. Why not saying with flexible materials like film or fishing line as we would say in “I enjoy books like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson”?

I just read this lightning safety poster where under lightning, this personified smiling light rods says: “ Take it from me, Linda the Lightning Rod!” Because of the smile, I felt like she’s more likely saying it to mean “Trust what I share with you on this poster.” But somehow in my mind I can’t help visualizing a lightning rod is fighting with lightning monster saying “Take this/that from me! “ So basically I want to ask: If it were an attack, in addition to changing the rod’s face into a frowning one in front of lightning, how would she say it: A. Take this from me! B. Take that from me! C. Neither, she would say: (fill in the blank) Thanks! I don’t know why but after reading it I kept visualizing them fighting. It must be some sort of memory mismatch so I’m trying to figure out she would say “ take” what, so I don’t confuse it with “take it from me”
