Spoilers Supergirl - Season 3

[Christopher]

David Harewood is still a regular I believe, J'onn just doesn't work at the DEO anymore.

That's correct. J'onn explicitly said he wasn't leaving his friends, just changing his career. He's "among the people" now, whatever that means. If the storyline is focusing on anti-alien extremists again, then giving J'onn a prominent role in National City's nonhuman community could tie into that.

Wild guess -- maybe J'onn becomes the new owner or bartender of the alien bar. That's an established set, so it's economical to keep using it, and it's a regular gathering place for the nonhumans of National City.

Supergirl Season 4 Adds Sam Witwer as the Villainous Agent Liberty

I vaguely remember this character. Wasn't he a hero?

Maybe this is all a rouse. Witwer might be getting a second chance at playing Doomsday! Wasn't he undercover on that show as well?

I hope he is not Doomsday and highly doubt it anyways. Its great that we will be getting a non Luthor human as the Big Bad on Supergirl. First season Kryptonians from Phantom Zone with the same powers as Kara. Season 2 Daxamite villainess. Which was a Krypton offshoot I the past. Basically same powers. Reign was another Kryptonian villainess. With supernatural elemental elements. Yes, Supergirl has done a much better than the Flash using the same villian concept ina different way. But it’s time for a Human villain. Especially given we are going to get a Russian Kara for at least part of the season.

I'm sure the suggestion was meant as a joke. Anyway, Krypton is already using Doomsday.

I would think it more likely he's this year's Morgan Edge or Maxwell Lord, a human adversary who's secondary to the season's actual superpowered Big Bad. Do agree it would be good to come up with a threat that isn't Kryptonian (or closely related) in origin, however.

YAWN, we get it, the writers room hates Trump so much you're taking a C-level hero and turning him villainous to suit your desires. It's not that social or political commentary isn't something that happens in comics it's that this show beats you over the head with it hard.

Arrow handled the gun control episode good, Supergirl's version was even good.
The Trump metaphors just are so old.

Its handled with the maturity of a middle school play that is less about commentary and all about hatred. That is not going to fuel some "resistance", somehow hoodoo Trump out of office, alter his Supreme Court selections, or anything else, other than remind audiences how obsessed they are with Trump while ignoring that which makes a good fantasy series.

To be fair the show more than any other Arrowverse show except maybe "Legends" which is a flat out comedy now, knows it has a young fanbase in young kids and young girls especially. You can only do so much before the messages goes over youngsters heads. In many ways the show has a kind of modern Batman66 vibe to it. It knows all the right messages to send to young kids and it has enough soapy stuff and sexy people for teens and and action adventure and fanwank stuff for nerds who are a little older. Something tells me as a 42 year old male nerd I am not the shows target audience.

Just finished Season 3 and the writing has been so uneven this season, the writers just seem to be throwing everything together at the last second with little planning. The use of time travel in the finale was awful and a complete cop out, why not use it all the time ey? hate writing like this. The final moments could save the time travel trope if it gives us a decent story in season 4.

Also i'm glad I didn't take part in this thread as the season progressed weekly because reading previous pages, dam some of the comments still are ugly sexist nonsense from a handful of members. I can't believe some posters are still talking crap about Superman v Supergirl because their fragile ego's can't take a strong woman beating a strong man.

Okay, everyone please leave the Trump references out of this. It does not seem at all conducive to decent conversation, instead generating more conflict

Well, we all know that the makers of Supergirl and Clinton's campaign colluded, since the Clinton campaign took on Supergirl's motto in the general election [/sarcasm]

I too wish they could do some more subtle or universal social commentary. Being heavy handed really turned off my 13 year old daughter, who ought to be a significant audience for the show. So she didn't really see this season at all...and i wasn't about to push her on it (we had enjoyed it as a family early on)

I even tuned out this season because of some of it, and only now might be watching some of these past season's episodes...any in particular that stood out as great/must-see?

"The Faithful" and "Midvale" are not just season, but series high points.

The more anti-Trump they want to get the better in my opinion. They could just pop up WE HATE TRUMP in big letters at the end of every episode and I would be right there with them.

 

[USS Firefly]

I am a littlebit tired of all the Trump bashing, even here in the Netherlands we have shows who love bashing Trump.

 

[Awesome Possum]

If the bashing stops and he's still President and unchanged as a human being, that's when you should be worried. Certain people and their behavior deserve to be bashed because it harms others. The kind of people who superheroes would stop in fiction.

I realize that sometimes it's easy to miss mod comments in a long-running thread, so I am posting my earlier request and closing this thread temporarily to emphasize just that. Leave the real world political wrangling out of this, unless you tie it closely to the actual topic.
