I rewatched Supergirl, still don't understand the hate for the movie, most of the criticisms I've seen are just some buckets being misogynistic and insulting Milly Alcock's appearance, I haven't really seen anyone discuss the actual plot of the movie, my only complaint was that the visuals weren't like the book which I can get over, and they changed Kara's origin a bit, overall it was a solid film that showcases Supergirl's character, she's not Superman but she's still good
I also love her relationship with Clark, like you can tell they want to be family, they know they're family but it's pretty awkward, I'm pretty awkward with the cousins I don't see a lot too so it was relatable to me
Also one thing I noticed, Kara was basically who Clark thought he was, that his parents sent him to do good when that was only the reality for Kara, but I do like that they didn't make all the Kryptonians evil, they went with the "Yeah...Jor-El and Lara were just REALLY weird." So I do hope we get to see Clark interact with other Kryptonians (cough bottled city on Brainiac's ship cough)
Overall the movie was fun and doesn't deserve the hate it gets
What’s a good starting point for getting into the Supes? Like I wanna get into Supergirl but fear the comics may not be as good? What about Superman comics or the Superboy(s)??? help
Just wanted to say thank you to the Supes side of the fandom!! The replies on this post have given me a great list to start from and I’ve started my read of Woman of Tomorrow (which I am liking so far! The art is so nice!)
Y’all are so kind to take the time to give me great suggestions :}
I need dc to stop taking villain Jason Todd down the “I want to be Batman” route and start taking him down the “I stand for everything Batman can’t/wont do”
Agreed! I loved the movie! I loved watching Kara punching human traffickers in the face! I loved watching her go John Wick over her dog! I loved that she was allowed to be gross and still the hero!

The First Avenger is the gayest Captain America film
This post took me a ridiculously long time of fighting with tumblr so I really hope someone enjoys it.
Alright look. I’ve thought about this for a while scrolling the tumblr and seeing all the TWS and CW gay posting. But then the topic came up on a Stucky server and I decided I needed to put all my thoughts in one place and here we are.
The Winter Soldier is generally seen as THE Stucky movie, closely followed by CW. And I get it. I do. But like. Are we really going to overlook the amount of gay in TFA???? Not to mention TFA is what sets up this century-long relationship??
Let’s get into it.
1. The double date that Bucky drags Steve on. I’m sure we’ve all seen the meme by now, right? How the girls were holding hands and the joke that they were going on double dates, but not in the way Steve thinks? Y’all. Watch it. It holds some water. At the expo when Stark shows off his flying car, the girls are clutching hands and Bucky turns to look at Steve. He’s paying attention to Steve, not either of the girls. Also, you can barely even tell which girl is supposed to be on a date with which guy. Probably the only indicator is awkward Steve shoving popcorn in the girl’s face. And after all that where Steve ditches them to try and enlist again, they are perfectly happy to share Bucky. IDK about you or real-life 40s girls, but if I was expecting to go out with a guy and my friend go out with his friend I wouldn’t be super stoked about sharing him? But they seem perfectly giddy to just accept going dancing with just Bucky. Like maybe neither are actually interested in dating him and are more interesting in just having fun going out in public? Like possibly to an underground queer place where they can all be themselves. Please see this post for evidence.
2. THE GODDAMN BUCKY RESCUE MISSION. Literally, Steve hears “107th” and that there’s no plan to even try to go after them with ZERO INDICATION THAT BUCKY IS EVEN ALIVE and decides that he’s going to take his untested new body for a spin with absolutely no fucking plan besides get there, beat some people up, find Bucky. Star spangled man with a plan MY ASS.
3. When he does get to Bucky the way Bucky says “Steve” when he realizes it’s him and HE SMILES. Poor dude’s been tortured and is strapped to a table and out of it and says Steve’s name like it’s both the prayer and the answer. And when Steve gets him up and goes to touch his face before pulling his hand back. See this post for gifs of that whole scene.
4. I feel like this needs no further explanation than this gifset but please see the highlight below
5. There is nothing about the way that Bucky says "let's hear it for Captain America!" that is either friendly or heterosexual. Look at his face. Look at the way he looks Steve up and down. Look at the conflicted emotions. LISTEN TO THE TONE OF HIS VOICE. Here's the video for the full experience.
6. THE ENTIRE GODDAMN BAR SCENE?! I will break it up into three parts though because it deserves it. Here is the video to follow along though. My first point is, "hell no. That little guy from Brooklyn that was too dumb not to run away from a fight. I'm following him." First of all, LOOK AT THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER. Second, Bucky is very clear that he's not here for Captain America, but that he's here for Steve. The same Steve he's always supported. Also bonus gif of footage that was from shooting this scene, but was not in the movie and is adorable.
7.... Please explain to me what about this is hetero... I'll wait... Full gifset here.
8. When Peggy walks in. Bucky looks at her, but he doesn't really eye her until he looks at Steve and sees him looking at her. And then he looks like a kicked puppy when he sees Steve only has eyes for Peggy. I 100% believe that his comment about being invisible is not about being invisible to Peggy next to Steve, but about being invisible to Steve next to Peggy.
9. Another post we’ve all seen here by now is the one in which Steve starts the movie saying he doesn’t want to kill anyone, but after Bucky falls from the train it becomes, “I won’t stop until all of Hydra is dead or captured.” Platonic MY LEFT FUCKING ARM. See post here.
10. For my final point, I’ve said this before, but STEVE DIDN’T HAVE TO CRASH THE PLANE. (CW: suicide mention)
This was suicide in Bucky grief framed as heroic sacrifice. I wrote in this post the other day about the Avengers all being self-sacrificing idiots.
#I LOVE THE WONDER TWINS#you do not understand how much they mean to me#how lucky we are that dc never pushed for tgem to be romantic#how they know each other#how they ground each other#there's something beautiful to watch the people you love grow up and you grow up alongside them (via @spring-snow0613)
