Spoilers Supergirl - Season 1
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Hmm...
As in, Bizarro Superman, rather than some sort of Bizarro Supergirl? How can they cast Bizarro before they cast Superman?
Maybe I am from the future but I thought this was announced a while back?
I thought they said it was BizSupergirl???
If they have his features being crystalline, he doesn't have to look like anyone in particular.

OK, that was a spoiler.
Speaking of skeptical or mistrusting governments...does it sit awkwardly with anyone else in the American audience that a government agency is being run by an alien imposter, apparently without the knowledge of any higher-ups in the government? We know he's one of the good guys, but to people in that world, he'd be a major national security issue. It'd be nice if at least the president knew.
You imply these are mutually exclusive. But anyone repeatedly in the public eye is a celebrity. Adele, Barack Obama, Malala Yousafzai, Pauly Shore, the Pope, and even Casey Anthony are all, for better or for worse, celebrities. For very different reasons all around, but still - celebrities. Supergirl would certainly be.
^Besides, Supergirl's more than just a crimefighter -- she's a figure of hope and inspiration. Cat is using her example and her image to try to change the tenor of the media conversation in National City and inject more optimism and positivity into it.
Supergirl is Taylor Swift...wait! 
I never got that.
Kryptonians as a symbol of hope.
They won the genetic lottery and any of them are almost never in any danger while submerging into the most caustic situations by human standards.
Normal people cannot aspire to be Kryptonians, and it's not heroic to fly into a burning building when you're fire proof.
Lex Luthor is Right.

It's because "absolute power corrupts absolutely" but Superman and Supergirl are not corrupted even though they have all of that power and pretty much no personal consequences. They're role models for the wealthy and powerful, and the idea that people at that level could act like them is hopeful for the rest of us.
Yeah the fact they use all that immense power to help people and routinely go up against major threats to protect the people of Earth is probably enough to qualify them as "heroic". And plus even Superman and Supergirl can't always be sure that they'll be strong or indestructible enough to survive every situation.
Superman and Dukat, two peas in a pod.
Kara didn't see Man of Steel!
I think she called her self the Maid of Steel last week.
Seriously, if "girl" is derogatory, what the #### is up with "maid"?
Is Maid Marian supposed to be ####ing Scottish?
No, apparently it's got something to do with the May Day celebrations, which is about sacrificing a virgin, right?

given some of the references to her love life I suspect she's implying that supergirl/Kara is virgo intactus.
I guess I see what you mean, but it's surprising to me to see them likened to the rich, considering that Superman was created by the sons of poor immigrants and was originally portrayed as a working-class hero fighting against the wealthy and powerful. And of course Clark Kent is a farmboy, and Kara is a lowly office assistant (although she does have an implausibly huge apartment for someone on her salary, like most TV characters). And ever since the late '80s, Lex Luthor has been portrayed as the embodiment of unchecked wealth and power. So, yes, the Supers have the kind of unlimited power that tends to corrupt, but unlike many of the ultra-rich, they have the life experience that lets them identify with the little guy.
