Spoilers Supergirl - Season 2

[Mr. Adventure]

I'd hardly call that a "tough girl" pose, at least not by CW's standards.

Also, she can punch though concrete walls like they're made of soggy cardboard. That seems sufficiently "tough" to me.

Lips pursed, shoulders back, fists balled, what would make a tough girl pose to you? Not saying she isn't tough but that doesn't seem to be the focus of the show. She has a warm smile they could showcase or something that seems more hopeful or inspiring. Just my opinion.

 

[sojourner]

The show has obviously gone dark and gritty to the extreme. What other way can we interpret Kara not smiling? I'm convinced the next promo shot will show her dropping bags of puppies into a river.

 

[Morpheus 02]

Man, you guys are really preoccupied with stuff that happened nearly four decades ago.

Says the man who has strongly argued for Superman's trunk, well past the time of needing them for modesty

That whole tough girl pose seems at odds with the tone of the show.

That doesn't bother me as much as much as that to me he face looks ike someone other than Melissa Benoist

 

[tomalak301]

I didn't see a tough girl in that poster at all. And even if it is, she's been Supergirl for quite some time now. She's more confident and maybe she might have more of an attitude this season. It wouldn't hurt the show if that were the case.

 

[Guy Gardener]

She's house training a dog that has all her super powers.

Why would Kara ever be smiling again?

Serious?

They can't fly in space.

That means Krypto can't fly in space.

Dogs are stupid.

That Dog is as good as dead.

 

[The Old Mixer]

I see nothing controversial about that poster. At least they included her face.

I dont see it..

If the poster was something like this, it would be a different matter

 

[Reverend]

^All she's missing is a mohawk and a facial scar.

Seriously though, yeah I think anyone claiming this to be a "tough girl" pose is confusing "tough girl" with "not meek and sickly sweet girl". Just because she's not grinning like an idiot or even smirking knowingly, doesn't automatically means she looks like she's about to snap some necks or get into a headbutting contest with Lobo (though I'd watch the shit out of that episode!) It's a strong confident pose, not an arrogant one.

Wow, is that ever a terrible analogy. I'm saying that Jimmy Carter's past 36 years of wonderful humanitarian work -- Habitat for Humanity, his Nobel Prize-winning charity, his diplomatic efforts to prevent wars around the world -- deserve recognition even if his long-ago presidency was underwhelming. Judging him exclusively by his 4 years in the White House and ignoring the past 36 years of good work he's done since -- i.e. judging him by just the first 10% of his career on the global stage -- seems to lack perspective. It's not equivalent to Superman's trunks, because Superman had trunks for 73 of the past 78 years, fully 93.5% of his existence. (And no, it's not about modesty, it's about aesthetics and iconography.) It's also an incredibly random non sequitur, because the Superman thing is a comparatively trivial matter of the aesthetics of an imaginary character, while the Carter thing is about fairness to a real human being who's done enormous good for the world. I think the problem with a lot of people in fandom is that they care more about how fictional characters are treated than they do about how real people are treated.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Only a moron thinks that the trunks are not coming back. It might take ten years, but they'll be back.

In comics Superman without trunks is dead.

Superman with trunks from a parallel universe, showed up.

Superman with Trunks for some reason is not wearing trunks.

Which is weird.

The only other difference between Superman with trunks and Superman without trunks is who they are in love with... Lois Lane's husband Superman with Trunks is alive, and Wonder Woman's boyfriend Superman without trunks is dead.

Rolling back the character to pre-new 52, should have been the perfect opportunity to bring back the trunks, to reclaim the loss in sales they had been feeling since all their books started to suck, because they haven't quite figured out that we don't want a cooler hip Superman: We like, nay, LOVE laughing at his stupid trunks.

That poster looks just about right for a Zack Snyder directed DC film. But then again she would be showing her butt in a Marvel movie poster.

Rhetorical question, are we allowed to call people morons on this forum? I mean if and only they say moronic things?

 

[Guy Gardener]

Well, that's not how English works, but Christopher has me on Ignore, so I was safe, until you quoted me. I await the storm.

Yes, I have issues with women because I thought a poster didn't best reflect the character depicted on the show. Feel free to disagree about that but I think that's unfair.

And I guess she has to have raw meat hanging out of her mouth to be a "tough" pose. I really regret using that word...

 

[urbandefault]

I'd call the pose in that poster "confident."

Trunks can't cross interdimensional rifts.
It is known.

Your words mate, not mine.

Oh, aren't you a peach?

Try rereading aloud what he said "sarcastically" and roll your eyes a lot as you're at it.

Hey, the way I see it sarcastic projecting is still projecting. Even when eye rolling and/or hair flipping is involved.
