Supergirl - Season Four

[Dick Whitman]

Not only does Lois need to be cast with someone older than Tyler Hoechlin but certainly significantly older than Mechad Brooks and Jenna Dewan. Lucy has always been the younger sister. With Jimmy being a number of years young than Lois. Both actors were born in 1980. Lois should be played by someone in her mid 40s or older.

My suggestions are Pauley Perrette or Paget Brewster. Both are 49. Both look mature (which is a good thing!) but could play younger than their actual age too.

As I keep pointing out, the show never said Supergirl is physically stronger than Superman, just that she beat him fair and square in a single fight. Since she has DEO combat training and Superman is presumably a self-taught brawler, it stands to reason that she could have won through superior skill and discipline, which leaves the strength question undecided and really rather irrelevant.

With the right kind of skills and training, the smallest weakest person can defeat the biggest strongest person.

I learned that at a very young age from my father who was a 6th degree Black Belt in Judo. That is one of the central principles of Jiu Jitsu, Judo - to learn how to use your opponents size and strength against them.

Superman was lucky enough as it was, seeing as how Supergirl had yet to master the cape-fu of the 31st century.

I honestly can't believe some of the debates that appear on a Star Trek message board sometimes. It is like stepping back into the early sixties. Anyone who believes that Superman is less of a man because he lost a fight to Supergirl really needs to get some perspective and perhaps even seek professional help. It is absolutely frightening. In Canada, there have been two major incidents where people have died at the hands of men who had similar misogynistic attitudes.

EDIT: It also reminds me of this article: dhttps://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/08/what-trumps-supporters-think-of-corruption/568147/?utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=the-atlantic-fb-test-312-4-&utm_content=edit-promo&utm_medium=social

Anyways it should be fun that Superman's back and all, but I'm way more excited we're getting Lois in this universe!

I hope with the renewed focus on CatCo that maybe there'll be an opportunity for her to pop up on the show outside of the crossover (and without Superman ), maybe work together on a story with Kara and Nia for an episode or three...

As for casting, if they can get Parker Posey, that would be just swell.

 

[Dick Whitman]

Parker Posey is a great idea. Probably would not work with her filming schedule for Lost in Space though.

Maybe it could, since that show has short seasons. I guess it depends on when they film it.

 

[Greg Cox]

I remember Selma Blair being in the running for Lois in times past. Maybe her day has come?

 

[USS Firefly]

Or Vera Farmiga or Hailey Atwell as Lois Lane?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Atwell would be great. She has a very Lois vibe.

 

[Ovation]

Atwell would be great. She has a very Lois vibe.

Plus, well, it’s Hayley Atwell.

 

[Samurai8472]

So they replaced Data with Tron? It's like they wanted to imply that this character will be an android

 

[Captain Craig]

All this mention of Tron gets my mind to again wanting a followup to Legacy!!

Tron 3 needs to happen.

 

[dahj]

Tron 3 needs to happen.

Tron 11 surely.

 

[theenglish]

Tron 0011

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Tron 11 surely.

What if the first one was Tron 0?

"Pointing out" suggests that you're drawing attention to a matter of fact, when in fact you're merely offering a personal interpretation.

Are we still talking about the video?

 

[Greg Cox]

Or Vera Farmiga or Hailey Atwell as Lois Lane?

Love the idea as Atwell as Lois.

Err....no. Just no.
