We got Kara kicking ass, killing pedos, saving little girls all while starting to heal and learn from her trauma and you don't want me to be happy with the movie????

shoot me but i think a girl-y, childish cover playing as a literal child, who believes herself to be ruined, experiences what it’s like to be shielded from violence (by a fellow ruined girl) (from CHILD PREDATORS), was excellent actually!

I remember right after the Superman movie come out everyone was making the “Clark saved Lex’s life by saving Krypto before Kara ever found out” jokes and its absolutely fantastic to me how supergirl 100% confirmed that to be true. Lex doesn’t even KNOW how lucky he is that he got the emotionally stable super

On my way to watching the movie!

"I know it's pretty colorful, but that's just so everyone knows we're good."

One of my favorite things about Supergirl was how well it contrasted Kara early in the movie versus later. Early in the movie, her fight scenes are violent, brutal, and they really hammer home how scary a Kryptonian can be. But in the end, when she embraces being a superhero—when she embraces being Supergirl—it genuinely makes her come off more as a savior and a symbol of hope than a terrifying ruffian.

And, yeah, showing up with the colorful attire is a big part of that.

I like that. I like that the way the movie is constructed genuinely validates the way that superheroes dress and look.

A thing I really appreciate about supergirl is that Kara is never shown to be pretty. Yeha she is pretty regardless because they casted milliy fucking alcock but the never show her to be put together. They let her be messy. They let her be rude. They let her fuck up. Every time we see strong confident women in media they are always wearing the tightest bodysuit and look beautiful even when they have been beaten to shit. Not here. Every scene Kara is in she looks like a car had run over her. And they don't "transform" her and make her look prettier by the end to show that she has started to heal. Nah they keep her like that and they change how she acts. I love supergirl.
