It was more furry that rubbery.
A very coarse texture.
Or my tv's resolution was awful in the 90s.

Spoilers Supergirl - Season 1
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Looked kinda suede-ish to me. Flash can't go out in the rain.
It's more complicated than that, because it wasn't really a piece of clothing -- more a full-body prosthetic appliance that took hours to glue on. I'm not sure if Shipp would be willing to go through that again.
For the time that suit was extremely expensive. I doubt they would recreate it the same way for a single or limited number of episodes. If it happens I imagine they would use modern techniques to make it more comfortable for Shipp.
As long the suit had the same recognizable cowl design, Flash symbol and coloring to be clearly the same character would be fine. It has been 25 years, clearly Barry and Tina would have updated it in that time.

Some thoughts:
- In retrospect, it makes little sense for Kara to reject the fantasy from the start if that's the difficult thing she has to do at the end. It would only make sense under the possibility of travel between universes open by the crossover. Rejecting it seems reasonable if it has chance to be real, and if there was the eerie possibility she was rejecting her real family. If we know that's not the case, it doesn't work that well.
What's more, I think in this situation, once in Alex had to be confronted with Kara's scepticism, not some imaginary people.
- The chat with her mother's hologram also makes more sense if there was a chance for the hologram to show signs of sentience. But not only it didn't, it was clearly emphasized it wouldn't. In fact, didn't that scene already happen, but with Kara? I still think it's a stronger scene than it seems, because it's a parable of our wishful thinking, but could have gone with something else.
- Hank pretending to be Kara at work, and casually revealing he's a shape-shifter in front of everybody, something was off about that. And the comedy didn't get to me for some reason, mostly because the shift of personality/skill/etc was so big instead of laughing I kept trying to figure how unbelievable it had to be for Cat.

The scene where Alex was trying to convince Kara that everything was fake made me laugh because of how hard the two security guys were trying to contain her when she clearly wasn't putting up much of a fight. I thought the one on the left was gonna burst a blood vessel.
The Magicians had this similar trope storyline broadcast on the same day as Supergirl, but not so sucky.
I think Charmed did this trope slightly worse than Smallville.
Well the baddies try to convince the hero that he's a crazy person living in an asylum, but that happens to every genre show if it's around long enough.

I'm surprised that didn't happen on Supergirl.
The way her fantasy began I was expecting they would send Kara to an asylum or suggest she may need to. I know they are beyond such things on Krypton (or are they?), but that was the natural way for that dream world to deteriorate quick. But everything in that fantasy was just too perfect for such things.
Maybe we needed a longer scene where Kara acknowledged things were too perfect. Instead of what we got.
Why would Cat doubt that was Kara? She is just some average person with no special insight that would give her the ability to detect any deception. She can be fooled just as easily as anyone else.
The episode went a long way in trying to paint Alex as some super ass-kicker.
What if we had seen Kara on Krypton fully accepting the fantasy, but she was a 12 year old again. Then the audience would have taken that for a flashback, while we cut back and forth to what happens on earth where her friends try to solve the mystery of the black mercy.
The scenes on Krypton could have included some subtle hints that something is not right, of course, with the full reveal when Alex shows up and then she has to convice "young" Kara that it was all fake and she had to reject the fantasy.

Except that as mentioned before, and as you know, that this is an adaption of another one of Alan Moore's comics where this is what happened (To Superman).
It took Kirk 70 years to leave the Nexus.
Ah. I see the problem. You got one of those misprinted dictionaries where "observation" and "opinion" got swapped.
Google it and carry on.
By that logic the original story should have had Superman experiencing Krypton as an infant.
In order for something like black mercy to work it would need to act on what the victim/host would consider paradise now, not what they would have considered paradise ten or twenty years ago. The only way your version would work is if Kara goes around thinking "I wish I were 12 years old again," which is doubtful. Kara doesn't have a problem being an adult, but given the stresses of her life she probably wonders a lot what it would have been like to grow up on Krypton instead of earth, and the plant gave her the best possible answer.
Besides, I much prefer the emotional impact of an adult rejecting paradise than yet another TV kid whining about losing it.
Buffy did that exact thing. My wife muttered something about maybe Kara's in an asylum in Sunnydale.
I think this has graduated from trope to cliche.
(not counting backlit images of him helping Kara up).
^ The sign of one incapable of making valid points, and is hyper defensive over something that does belong to him: attack members.
Grow up, boy.
It's pretty clear the things you are saying are just opinions. If it was a fact, then everyone would be saying the same thing.
I remember references to MoS, but I thought they were more general. I didn't realize they were saying they were specifically dealing with that version of Krypton.
