My notes for that scene read: “THIS IS WHY WE NEED MORE FEMALE CEOS.”

Thank you for mansplaining.

Yup, that’s all this article is, just “look at how bad BvS” is. Definitely not an analysis of how two similar works deal with the same theme in different ways.

Dude, we get it. You didn’t like a movie that came out a while ago. Move on.

They’ve done an okay job of doing what Christopher Reeve did so well in Superman ‘78. The disguise isn’t just the glasses, it’s how she carries herself. When she’s Supergirl Kara always strikes the hero pose and pitches her voice down. Meanwhile, has Kara Danvers ever worn her hair down? It’s not convincing to us,…

Maybe they are big fans of the Aurora Teagarden mystery series on Hallmark?

Obviously I don’t know that mutant but really the question is why the hell I missed the Northern Lights name when I was literally staring at them making Aurora Borealis as I thought “oooh, Storm!!”

Why mention Storm when there’s a mutant called Aurora who’s powers were light based too?

This was a lot more somber than the show usually goes for but I rather liked it. I think this tone - at least every once in a while - is an interesting fit for the series. And I enjoyed having a “villain” that wasn’t some crazy powered person that was just destroying parts of the city for selfish gain.

I definitely feel you on this critique. Drawing attention to the actual mechanics of Kara’s disguise always feels fairly silly. I’m mostly trying to stick to the show’s “just go with it” vibe, but I understand why it’s a sticking point for others.

Agreed. I was prepared to jokingly add ‘Leader of a cult devoted to her’ to the list of “People Who Somehow Can’t See Through Kara’s Disguise”*, but then he did and it just made me laugh at how everyone else on the list somehow can’t/couldn’t.

I get why they had the cult guy see through Kara’s disguise, but I wish they hadn’t. It’s one thing to believe that in this world glasses is basically a magical face changing disguise, it’s another to have some characters see through it, and have other characters, like Lena, who just don’t realise. It makes Lena seem…

As a concept I absolutely adored this episode, because it was more literate than the show usually strives for. The sight gag of the “days without an accident” counter at the burning factory ticking down from 190 to 0 was maybe the best subtle joke the show’s ever done too.

The scenes with Karnak and Gorgon were really genuinely enjoyable, and this episode wasn’t even remotely as bad as the first two, or the worst parts of Iron Fist.

I mean Dave did make a pretty convincing beard for half a second. Louise is so freaking gay though, I just want her to be happy.

Louise is so clearly in love with Medusa that it’s almost uncomfortable. She stammers and flails a bit when Medusa smiles at her, touches her, is kind to her...pretty much anything. If this show was just a bit better, I bet it would have spawned so much fan fiction.

And “a senator who has been drafting anti-mutant legislation” instead of the city council drafting anti-vigilante legislation. That’s what happens when you write a review at 2 AM I guess

“I can’t be Green Arrow anymore because I have a kid. You have to do it, Diggle.”

I did the same. It was like the intro to a Backstreet Boys video with one slow-mo balcony jump after the other.

To the scene! Everyone jump over something for a dramatic entrance, quick!
