Supergirl (2015)
LOVE IT LOVE IT! FORGET THE HATERS
I will admit, I was actually rolling my eyes when I saw the first advert for this show. After looking into, I realized my cousin was in it so I initially watched it only in support of him.
That being said, I KEPT watching the show for Melissa and because I genuinely think the good FAR outweighs the bad for this show.
On that note, I am quite tired of all of the negativity from reviewers about this show. I fully accept that it is not perfect and has it's flaws, but it is seriously not the train wreck some make it seem like it is.
One thing I would like to address is people's issues with Kara being stronger than Superman. Superman started out with the same power level as Mon-El in the beginning of his comics. He was MADE stronger by various writers as time went on. Why is so acceptable for him, but not for her to evolve and grow?
Another issue I have is people saying her story is the same as his. Her story is MUCH richer than Cal-El's, in my opinion. She ACTUALLY GREW UP ON KRYPTON. SHE ACTUALLY LOST HER WORLD. He was a baby who happened to grow up on earth with alien powers, BORING! He is SO overhyped and was made SO overpowered that he has created an unattainable and unrealistic standard. She is NOT him, she is full of loss and rage and has more depth than he ever had.
Onto the soap boxes. Yes, I will admit sometimes they shove the message a little too far down your throat, but the importance of the message should not be lost because you don't like the delivery method. Yeah, they paint a bit thickly, but what they are saying is still important and needs to be said.
The Danvers sisters have to be the greatest love story ever told. What they have is magical and transcends universes and timelines. It is seriously one of the most beautiful relationships I have ever seen, only made more intense due to the fact that they are not blood related and had a rocky start. What they have built is so strong and so inspiring to what love and family mean and can do for a person.
Finally Melissa is PERFECT and amazing and she is the best Supergirl ever. She makes Kara such a relatable and real person. She is emotionally unstable and hyper reactive at times, but SHE SHOULD BE. Homegirl lost EVERYTHING and then spent TWENTY FOUR FRIGGIN YEARS in the phantom zone trapped in the endless void (surprisingly NOT going FULLY crazy). I'm surprised Kara is as mentally healthy as she is to be honest. In the comics she is FULL of rage, which they held back a bit but still a great job of showing.
Sometimes the writing is...not great...I'm objective and I will not say the show is flawless, but WHAT SHOW IS?? It's really easy to spread and say hateful about something, but also why? If you don't like it...don't keep watching it. Especially if all you have to say is hateful things with very little constructive criticism.
So many characters didn't even exist until recently (Harley Quinn only exists because of the Batman Cartoon). Comics and TV and all of these things are SO good BECAUSE they evolve and grow and try to make characters better and different. I feel like you can either embrace the change and the process, or you can not and just stop watching it then. You can either allow yourself to evolve or stay in your ways and watch the world leave you behind. Do you think I wanted Raven to be 15 years old in Titans when she is supposed to be 19? NO I DID NOT, but I watched it objectively and took it for what it WAS, and not what I thought it SHOULD be. I do the same with everything I watch INCLUDING Supergirl and I suggest others try it.
It's not perfect, but it's still really good and it makes me feel better so that's all that matters to me.
Supergirl: In Search of Lost Time (2018)
Great storyline, but missed opportunities
I love the idea of Myr'nn's psychic powers causing issues but I some problems with those issues. The scenes between Kara and Mon-El seemed like another way she was running away from her feelings. Everything she mentioned about his previous behaviors was from before they even started dating, and they had worked out those particular issues before they got together. I just feel like she didn't romanticize anything about their relationship. They grew a LOT together and he began to change long before she lost him. I just wish that they didn't feel the need to have her "get over" Mon-El in that way. It didn't really seem to make any sense that she was still THAT mad about stuff THAT old that was before they were dating, even with his psychic disturbances. It also didn't make sense that those behaviors led to some pseudo revelation of romanticizing anything.
