Spoilers Supergirl - Season 2

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Pretty sure Starry Night isn't in the National City museum at the moment.
So, listen, doesn't cutting a 128 year old painting out of its frame and rolling it up into a tube, ya know, DAMAGE it?? Especially something like Starry Night, with its use of impasto?

If it's good enough for the Declaration of Independence and Nicolas Cage...

I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever get to see Mon'El fly?

No Tights - No Flights

I thought (for whatever reason) Daxamites can't fly; and the only reason he could in the 31st century Legion of Superheroes was because of their Flight Rings.

 

[DigificWriter]

Yeah, Mon-El can't fly naturally in the comics, although he does have the rest of Superman and Supergirl's powers.

The version of the character we see on Supergirl has superhuman strength and superhuman speed, as well as the ability, possibly subconsciously, to drain electrical sources, but he might develop more powers the longer he spends on Earth.

As an aside, did anybody besides me catch Kara's casual reference in "Duet" to 9 months having passed since "The Adventures of Supergirl"? Sneaky, sneaky writers addressing a fan complaint about the progression of Guardian's plotline and the Karamel and Sanvers relationships on a totally different show.

Daxamites in the comics have always been able to fly. Unless they recently retconned that away.

Modern TV shows usually pretend to progress in real time (and, indeed, usually to take place on the same day they air), even though their highly serialized narratives are generally written to progress on a much tighter timeframe.

I saw Mon El on "The Flash". My sister, who never watches "Supergirl", had immediately judged him as dull. Hmm. Have to agree.

Exactly. Mon-El could fly in his 20th-century adventures (as recently as the "New Krypton" storyline) without the need for a Legion flight ring.

I know it varies from one incarnaiton to the other, retcons and the like but didn't it take Kal-El years of exposure to our sun to get to the point where he could fly? I think something similar may have been said about Kara after she first arrived but I don't recall exactly.

If Daxamites are anything like Kryptonians then one could presume that Mon-El simply hasn't been on Earth long enough for that ability to manifest.

Yay!
I wonder how they'll fit her in the ongoing narrative locationwise, is Kara maybe getting a job at L corp?
Or maybe they can be roomies now that Kara can't afford rent if she remains unemployed.

This seems entirely plausible to me. Mon-El right now might be better powered than Kara was after she expended all of her solar energy last season but not close to where she is now.

Maybe this means she'll do something relevant, outside of being the daughter of the big bad guy. I doubt it, but I can dream.

What She-Hulk reference?

What She-Hulk reference?

Winn made a quip to the girlfriend at some point, I can't recall the exact scene to give you a location during the episode. If you recorded it, just fast forward to scenes with the two of them alone together.

That's from the post-Crisis/Byrne version, although I'm not sure how much it was attributed to solar energy accumulation and how much it was just maturation. Pre-Crisis, he was flying around as Super-Baby practically from the moment he arrived on Earth.

Earth-38 Van Gogh used different media. He was also famous in his life time and lived to a ripe old age.
