It's weird to see people hating Trish's storyline this season cause personally it was probably one of my favourite ones of the season. I get why people may not like her anymore cause she made some shit decisions that are hard to come back from, but it was so well done. I love her story revolving around addiction, cause addiction is not pretty whatsoever. It fucks with the addict and those around them and this really showed that. We got to see an addicted Trish which is not how we know her.

Same thing, I actually found it fascinating because we really got to see how devastating addiction can be, and how it can change a person to someone we love, to someone who can be cruel and mean and just plain disastrous. 

We’re experiencing what everyone around Trish experienced when she’s on drugs. The medtech (?) already told Trish how devastating the effects of Simpson’s inhaler was but it only gave her a bit of a pause. 

Addiction and being an addict is not pretty, it’s not some pat story with a pretty, sparkling bow tied at the end. It destroys lives and the lives of people around the addict. 

I’m hoping next season, which will arrive next year  (RIGHT NETFLIX????) the writers will find a way for Trish to make amends to Jessica.

lol what kinda tall person world am I living in if 5'6 is short... D:

Lmfaoooooooo honestly I always felt like 5'8 and up was truly tall and everything below was short but I know most consider 5'4 and below as short; I see that view also. 😂Idk if I would say I'm tall like.... I just don't feel tall but you'd probably think differently if you met me lol

i 100% agree with what you said about how "bury your guys" is a term being used a little too loosely these days. at first i was a little hurt by them killing off Delphine but like, it was part of the story? Everyone who came into contact with Lorraine pretty much died. Also, it's not hard to head canon that Delphine actually lived since Lorraine was kind of an unreliable narrator, and could've lied. If that's an ending one would want to choose. always, i love Lorraine/Delphine so much.

Yes, exactly!

Most of the main cast died. And I was definitely sad when Delphine died, but it was because it was a tragic death. It was SUPPOSED to be sad.

And there was a lot of stuff that I appreciated in how they handled Delphine as a character, including her death.

She had a lot of depth for a romantic interest in an action film. She had her own agency, and her own skills despite being naive and not a very good spy. In fact, she turned out to be a better spy than people took her for! And she got in some good hits (including stabbing Percival in the back so that he couldn’t reach the knife to pull it out) before she finally died.

And her death had a real impact on Loraine! Loraine looked so broken and defeated when she found Delphine dead. So many action heroes just take it in stride when their love interest is killed, but Loraine was really hurting.

Plus, her death wasn’t sexualized. There was a lot of violence in this movie, much of it against women, but it didn’t come across as “violence against women” particularly. It wasn’t gendered the way that a lot of violence against female characters is gendered.

AND Loraine didn’t get with a man after her death! She wasn’t killed off to make room for a male love interest. Delphine was Loraine’s one and only love interest. And her romance with Delphine was Loraine’s main humanizing moment. 

Plus, you’re right, it’s very easy to headcanon that she lived. Loraine was not at all a reliable narrator, and it’s possible she told everyone that Delphine was dead just to give Delphine a real chance of escaping from the spy life unscathed. After all, her superiors had already threatened Delphine as a way of getting to her, so why would she tell them if Delphine was really alive?

Overall, yes, I can definitely understand why people would be disappointed that she dies, but her death isn’t “bury your gays” and it doesn’t make the movie overall problematic or worth boycotting.

The movie is pretty groundbreaking as far as female-led action films go and tbh it’s probably one of my top 2 lesbian movies (the other is the handmaiden)

ahhh gotcha. i wonder why they waited so long to release them.

ugh yes ok Erica Durance was honestly such good choice for Lois. I mean, i wouldn't say she's even that great of an actress but she just played Lois so well... Like, she had enough charm to fit the Lois Lane who pushes her way into a story and yet was still completely likeable. It was so nice to see her grow over the seasons too, because by the end she kind of really became that staple Lois Lane that had all the attributes to that we know, but was still completely her own version as well

Yes, exactly! 

She’s so great as Lois Lane! And I love watching her grow into her iconic self and I love the moments when Lois goes head to head against the Luthors: Lionel, Lex, and Tess.

Speaking of Tess, I love their dynamic a lot and I wish we saw more of them. 

I feel the show really grew into its iconic destiny when they were able to go beyond Lex Luthor and Tess stepped into the role because Tess was allowed to grow and become something more than a Luthor.
