Supergirl
- Release date:26 October 2015 (USA)
- Genre:
- Summary:'Supergirl' is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El, Superman's (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents' help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant. She works alongside her friend and IT technician Winn Schott and famous photographer James Olsen, who Grant just hired away from the Daily Planet to serve as her new art director. However, Kara's days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw, head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime. [+]more

I cringe watching this show. watching a "person" from the same planet as superman get her arse kicked needing recovery time practically every episode. Krypton where just like 1960's earth, Females are such weaker species is what this show portrays. I don't know why when they decided to reboot the show they never thought to update anything about her. As i am not a child i do not read comics so i don't care if this is the exact duplicate of the comics. Even as a Man this show just seems so sexist towards Clarks equivalent here on earth. Luckily for us we now have a superhero in a kind of cheer outfit and the lesbian sister. YAY. Long live the 1960's

A terribly generic and cheesy show filled with over the top feminism and ridiculous plots. It had gotten to the point where i asked myself if this was meant for 12 year olds. Maybe it is idk...but This is just my opinion, but I would not recommend this show

I'm excited for season 2, especially now that show has moved over to the CW, surely they will bring a lot better stuff to this show than the first season, which, to be fair I did enjoy quite a bit.

We're finally going to get to see Superman, and he's being played by none other that the very talented Tyler Hoechlin.
We don't yet know how long he's going to be in the show, He might just pop up from time to time which is okay.
I would love to see Tyler come back on Teen Wolf for a few episodes too, but its very nice that he's branched out.
Hoping to see more from Martian Man Hunter, he was a great character. Its going to be interesting to watch Hank and Alex go after the people that took Jeremiah, I wonder what they had done to him, bet for a while he is going to play a villain when we finally see him.
It is very nice to see the original super girl and the 'Lois & Clark adventures' super man the show had been one of my favorites when I was growing up. Sure, they are only playing Kara and Alex's parents but its a nice shout out the the fans.
It would also be nice to see Tom Welling show up on the show for a bit like 'Laura Vandervoort' (Super girl on Smallville).
Either way I'm excited for the 4th of October. -
Just spotted that the guy who plays Supergirl's foster dad Jeremiah Denvers is Dean Cain, who played Superman in The New Adventures of Superman, back in the 90's :)

okay, wow, that was one of the sloppiest written comments I've even seen, I'm going to have to come back and re-rewrite that comment sometime that's not now (adding a night of not sleeping to everything is clearly not going to be the thing to produce an improvement...)
1 years ago
Although, I kinda regret deleting it before rewriting it now that I've gone and scrapped the rewrite—I forgot the reason for writing it when I did was to get ahead of the ignorance this show seems to attract (although the irony is so delicious when put into context, of course try to point that out to someone who's missing the point when already in context is the source of the irony...) but whatever, I doubt things like facts and statistics are going to mean much to someone who's committed enough to being hateful post here at this stage. Those that actually want news about the show will opefully be willing to wait for something better than I can manage under these circumstances. -
Great. Go to the trouble of researching and writing something and there's an article posted that will probably be from some entertainment writer that contradicts everything I wrote... whatever, I gots sources more my data

Please stop acting like you actually have anything relevant to stay, AND STOP ACTING LIKE YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MY PROFESSION, that is so beyond rude.

I mentioned things that were actually relevant to peoples arguments, my research and field experience is all based in prehistory which has nothing to do with this conversation.

So you've never done any actual archaeology? By your own statement, all you've done is read about history and politics. So based solely off what you've read (which you're taking on faith is accurate since you've no actual experience yourself), you claim to be an expert. A real archeologist is someone who actually goes out into the field, to the sites of ancient cultures and empires, actually attends dig sites and does the actual digging. An archaeologist is someone who uncovers artifacts and relics of bygone areas and creates theories around those facts - not fit facts around theories. By your own admission, all you've ever done is read questionable journals with political agendas and interpretations you agree with. Add that to the fact YOU are the only one attempting to degraded any opinion other then your own. It's very narrow-minded and intolerant, when someone says something you don't agree with - you tell them how stupid they are and how they should not be allow to talk to other people. No conversation, no intelligent discourse, no willingness to see thing from a new point of view, just plain undiluted unintelligent rage. This isn't a question about you expressing your opinion, this is you regurgitating other people's ideas and then throwing a tantrum and wearing when people counter you with common sense. Have you no ideas of your own?
I also think you've completely lost the original subject matter. Why do you go find a towel to whip that egg of your face? ;) -

@Samaritan I literally have a degree in archaeology and studied the history of various world cultures and politics as a major. My qualification actually gives me a right to have an opinion on the subject unlike you who clearly only has the classical i read it on the internet so it must be true bullshit of ur generation. Clear by the fact you need to go around trying to degrade other people because you actually have no knowledge on the subject and really your "knowledge" is just based on the fact you don't like my opinion on the matter, which is based on hard textually evidence and the interpretations i have read in various journal articles of gender in material culture, which fyi I actually have an unique point of view because the head of my department is a leading historical archaeologist in gender studies on the goldfields

*sigh* No, Patrick93 got it mostly correct. It's you that need to study history. The human race has long oppressed all manner of people for all manner of reasons. It's not just women who have a claim to be oppressed (although it makes their claim no less valid). Feminism was born out of desire to "get even" with men, not oppression of women, and to get women on top of the "the heap" and be the ones doing the oppressing. In fact, many men did not have the power to vote - because you had to be a LAND OWNER to vote - and the majority of people were not land owners.
I seriously doubt you are an "archaeologist" - there is more to being an archaeologist then reading propaganda by one political party. It's an insult to all real archaeologist everywhere that you would claim to be one.
@ElizabethBells
What's super weird is that even though you know (or at least know now) that feminism is sexist, you keep acting like it's not. But if that's what you choose to believe because . . . whatever, that's your choice. You were giving the word a definition that it doesn't have and I merely pointed it out. We should all be willing and open to educate each other. But as long as you believe no gender should be treated as "superior" to the other, you'll be fine. -
I dropped this about half way thru episode 1? I have seen reviews all over the place on this. I love The Flash and Daredevil. I really liked Jessica Jones. Can anyone tell me if this got netter and can compare to those series?

@Patrick93 you are an idiot, and don't dare try and act like you understand anything about history, your just a sexist asshole. I'm an archaeologist and I can tell you for damn sure Feminism was born out of an oppression of women, go get an education. I'm guessing you also assume in ur dumbs argument that women didn't have the vote before that because they were poor? Even though men in the exact same position did....
1 years ago -
@Elizabeth It wasn't oppression of women, it was oppression of the lower class. Learn your history. Men were oppressed too, the difference is that we went to war for our rights, waging war with the crown, thousands upon thousands died, where as your suffragettes did little more than postpone the female vote by a decade or two. Feminism nowadays is little more than misandry and censoring, just a bunch of morons and neonazis.
1 years ago -
@Samaritan well I mean, okay. I think thats bullshit. Like feminism is called that because it began with the idea of ending oppression of women so of course female would be in the name. but also I don't give a fuck if you want to call it feminism or not as long as you're for equality so....sure. If you want to believe that you keep on trucking along. Tho I think its super weird you felt the need to comment on what word I used for no apparent reason if it was obvious what definition I was referring to but dude, whatever works.

I think we can all agree that the Flash and The Arrow rule, the crossover with Constantine was short lived unfortunately, this kind of feels like it was made for women by women whereas the original comics were made by men for men in a time where racism was commonplace so sexism really isnt a factor as to why its not as good as TF or TA. If they would just follow a similar formula for the flash and the arrow then it would appeal to everyone more so, instead we get one crossover with the flash conveniently brushed over with the multiverse explanation. Very weak. would have been very nice to see an outside the box supergirl instead of a superman parody like for like with only replacement sexed roles on almost every level with the weak smallville/ buffy lazily thought out teen relationship crap we are all used to thrown in

I'm a big fan of Superman too (well anything superhero really) so I was looking forward to this too; and I have to agree, it's not lived up to its potential. But I expect it's more of the fault of the network, the people making this series are actually the same people who make the Arrow and Flash series on the CW. They actually marketed Supergirl to the CW first, but for whatever reason, CW didn't want it, so they marketed to CBS instead. (That's why they had the Supergirl/Flash crossover even though they are on different networks.) I imagine (as networks are often wont to do) CBS made some changes and so this is what we've got. I still think it has potential, but I don't know if they will allow that potential to come out or not. Sometimes it take a season for the network to realize that they don't know better and they'll back off and allow the creative team to fly on their own. We'll have to wait and see. -

Feminism has always meant female supremacist. After all, it's in the word itself. If feminism stood for equal treatment of both male and female, young and old, black and white, then you have to ask yourself why it only have "fem" in the name. Saying that feminism is for equality between genders is like saying Black Supremacists are for the equal treatment of black and whites, or that White Supremacists are the equal treatment of whites and Asians.
Now it is true that a lot of feminists portray themselves as wanting equal treatment between genders, a lot of feminist movements will lie and say that's what they want, so it's not uncommon for many people to mistakenly believe that feminism stands for that and so call themselves feminists without realizing what it really stand for. Feminism has never stood for equality and it never will. Female oppression = bad. Male oppression = bad. Black oppression = bad. White oppression = bad. Child oppression = bad. Elderly oppression = bad. So let's not do ANY of that, okay? If you truly "believe people are and should be treated as equals regardless of gender" then you are NOT a feminist - which is a good, good thing.
Because you can't change the meaning of a word (although you can hide it behind lies and misinformation) and feminist stands for Female Supremacist and nothing else. No one gender is superior to the other, people should be treated as people regardless of their gender (or anything else). -

@Samaritan ???? No? Feminism is the belief in gender equality. Female oppression = bad, so lets not do that. I am a feminist because I believe people are and should be treated as equals regardless of gender. Not man-hating. You cannot change the meaning of a word???

Unfortunately, a lot of people in the "biz" still insist on thinking and portraying comic book characters and stories and "silly" or "campy". A few because they actually like it that way, but most because they rather try to ruin the genre so they can get back to making "real" TV and Movies. For every show like The Flash, where you can tell the writers are fans of the comics and cartoons, you're going to have shows like this where the writers clearly aren't fans of the comics and cartoons - it's obvious they've only seen a couple of campy movies and they've convinced themselves that's all anybody else has seen too.
@ElizabethBells & b_love
You do realize that feminist means FEMale suprematIST right? I'm for equality myself, not man-hating, but to each their own.
@TOLSTOY
I wouldn't recommend this to small children, they're not old enough to understand that people like Cat Grant (portrayed as one of the "good guy", or gals, in this show) is not a good role model. In fact, my favorite scene in the series is when Supergirl throws Cat off 40 story building. Sure, she was under the influence of red kryptonite, but it was nice to see Supergirl finally put Cat in her place.
@CBS
Put Supergirl in a skirt or tights, not both.
It would be nice to update her costume too, believe it or not, the old Supergirl Movie is NOT how the average person thinks of Supergirl's uniform. Give her a bare midriff and a gold trim cape already; maybe next season? -
My biggest problem with this show that they ve made a mockery out of the characters we know and love. I honestly watch this when Im at work, bored and killing time. This is worst than that twilight shit people used to fangirl about. Only ok episodes so far has been when supergirl takes a backseat to MMH

I might be repeating what has already been posted, but what's with these plot holes? I enjoy this show, but two episodes ago Kat figured out something pretty significant but now everything is back to normal? Then, last episode we are seeing that they are being spied on. What happened to those story lines?
Again, love the show but what? -
I am really trying to enjoy this show. It keeps trying to make me not enjoy it. It follows the stereotypical superhero TV formula, that for as much as I love Arrow/Flash and loved Smallville, I am sick of. OH you're a Superhero? And your best friend is a world class computer programmer/Hacker? No way! OH you have super human speed and you get hit by humans? Why? You need a group of people to carry you so you can fight crime? Why again? It is just the same old crap with a much less engaging story and very underwhelmed episodes. It could be very good but they refuse to try as writers.
