Anasûrimbor Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Anticipating. The bulk of these MCU and DCU shows coming out over the last few years have been pretty good. Not sure how they will handle Superman, but I like this shows casting and the previews make it seem well put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I really want it to be good. It needs to play the girlpower angle right, and not overdo it. Obviously they are tying her in with Superman thematically, which means at some point she could cross over with the Superman Batfleck movieverse. So, in terms of age, she's older than Kal el when she leaves Krypton according to the trailer (i.e. she's a little girl rather than a baby), but she's younger on Earth? Some continuity issues there no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of a spoiler: [spoiler]she gets stuck in the Phantom Zone along the way, where time flows differently.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BlackBear Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Waking the thread back up.I did quite like the effects and look of Livewire, her motives were a bit rubbish.The dialogue needs serious tightening up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer 24 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Yeah the dialogue is pretty cringey. "Oh shut up you mean girl." :facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It seems that Kara is following in Barry's footsteps in not utilizing her powers appropriately. The big alien that breaks out of her chains at the base didn't look as strong as a Kryptonian, but somehow she was still a challenge for Supergirl. And yes, water and electricity are a bad combination, for normal people!!! Not sure how this can affect a person that can literally transform in electrical energy.

Red Tiger Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The scene of Kara and her aunt fighting while flying, which just screams WIREWORKThe dialoguePeople not figuring out who Supergirl isThese moronic romancesThe obvious lack of actual athletecism from the actors during fightingThere's one thing I did like though. "I know everything there is to know about Superman" Off course you would.

The Anti-Targ Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I've only seen episode 3, Episode for only airs this coming Sunday.This show is literally living in Superman's shadow, and given the premise they started with, that's kind of how it needs to be. But they are not quite making it work for me. Perhaps this whole season will be building Kara into finally being the independent superhero she should be. But not having Superman actually put non-silhouette appearances where they actually have face to face conversations is a major limitation for the series. We're cousins and we love each other and have each other's backs, but we never hang out or talk to each other in person. Oh and we have an evil auntie with all the same powers as us and we aren't teaming up to try to figure out what to do about her. IMO if this had been Supergirl's training wheels season and they'd kept her heroics to the relatively small time, non-super problems in the city, and focussed on tension with the DEO and her sister the lack of Superman having a meaningful role would feel less contrived. Once she's established and DC can decide that yes, mixing the movieverse with Supergirl can work, then they can start bringing in the wider connection to the supers, both hero and villain.TV Supergirl SHOULD be part of the Justice League.

Kindly Old Man Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Pretty cool Martian Manhunter reveal tonight. The writing also wasn't as horrible as it has been. Maybe they can turn this show around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I agree, this episode was by far the best. I loved the Martian Manhunter reveal. Here comes TV Justice League!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pepper Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The show made a mistake by focusing so much dialogue on Superman.  There is no way to forget or pretend that he doesn't exist in that universe.  A single mention at the start of the series to set up their kinship and how Kara got to Earth would have sufficed.  Multiple mentions every episode gives me no trust in Supergirl and leaves me wondering why her cousin doesn't show up.  I mean, city in serious peril, Supergirl out of commission, this looks like a job for Superman.  I'm really glad Marvel has chosen to keep the referencing of other shows and character at absolute minimums.  Also, that no one recognizes Supergirl is the stupidest thing ever.  There isn't even a suggestion of disguise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Tiger Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 It only took Cat a billion different clues, whereas in real life somebody would only need to look closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BlackBear Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It's the same as ever and it's back.Spoilers below.I thought we were done with the Cat charade.Is Maxwell this much of a douchebag in the comics?Why hasn't Alex told Kara about Henshaw? He could have totally used his powers when the humans weren't around if that was his real worry, about his identity.That soldier should totally be court marshalled right?What is the Kryptonians actual goal? Were we told? Because I seem to have forgotten.They should really have just doen this show without Superman, he adds nothing, and just raises questions about why he isn't involved more regularly. What state is the world in that it's foremost hero isn't concerned about a bunch of Kryptonian terrorists?And BIZARRO(girl)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tiger Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Bunch of gutless turds, off course they would find some bullshit way to keep Kara's "identity" a secret.Is Maxwell this much of a douchebag in the comics?Yes he is, but the worst thing involving Maxwell Lord was when Wonder Woman snapped his neck to break his hold on Superman and good ol' hypocritical Big Blue and Batman gave her shit for it.
