it's depressing, but I think the writers of sg truly started being excited more about the twists than the characters and more about the potential of Lena and all the stuff they can do with a morally grey (or straight up dark) character and how Kara will *respond* to it, than about Kara and her arc + think most of the viewers want it&got bored of Kara. Kinda like in ouat they bought that Lana/Regina was the best because of her loud fandom and thought that people would watch a season without Emma
and failed because nope, the main character was actually beloved and Lana's fans were simply loud and obsessive (and Lana's character was also ruined by it). They still wrote about Emma thankfully, but in SG it seems like it was already a little hard to keep balance for them and now... I just have no faith in them wanting to write a full complete arc for Kara, wanting to focus on her, because they have so much more fun writing Lena and Lex, and whatever comes to mind at the time with no planning
Let’s start that they don’t really have an idea or plan to what to do with Kara. What is her real character development and growth for the past two seasons? She is more mature because she wears more mature clothes? She is amazing reporter who won Pulitzer, too bad we haven’t seen that evolution.
Red Daughter storyline, instead on focusing on Kara, was about Lex and Luthors. The potential of her was totally WASTED.
Kara’s inner conflict about being human Kara Danvers and alien Kara Zor El? Being an alien immigrant on Earth? Totally wasted, not approached aside of the s4 when she marched as Kara Zor El with other aliens and their supporters. But where is the inner struggle? When it fits the narrative, she is the alien, when it fits the story, she wants to be Earth and doesn’t even remember her mother still lives.
Whole Argo storyline? HER storyline? Wasted, ignored, given to Kal.
s5? Being portrayed as an abuser, traitor and the bad guy, while her real abuser acts like a victim, trashes her and treats her like SHIT. Kara’s story circles, as you said, around other characters. What we see now, her struggle to tell people or not, start a relationship or not - we aleady seen that. We and Kara should have been over it already. The circumstances were different, but still it’s similar story.
And seriously: reporter career, Luthors, RedDaughter, William aka Lois with British accent - this is Supergirl or Superman show?
The problem is, Kara is the main character, theheart AND the soul of the show. Other characters should circle around around her and HELP her being the main hero. Not the other way, where I wonder when the show changed the main character and is called now SuperSnowflake.
