CBS Super Girl

Okay, the following post is my opinion, so if you have a differing one, congrats, I'm so glad you have a true sense of individuality. You have a right to your opinion, and I have a right to mine. Let's respect this idea, shall we? First off, let me lay down some facts. Super Girl was never going to be as nitty-gritty as Man of Steel or the Dark Knight trilogy. That's not what her character was originally like, and personally, I never expected her to be that way. She was always kind and innocent. A seventeen year old girl in a world that didn't, and couldn't, understand who or what she was. However, this does not mean that she won't be badass. Do not mistake kindness for weakness. Also, I am almost entirely certain that the target market was for preteens, teenagers, and young adult women. The Super Girl franchise always seemed to attract younger audiences, which would start at about age 10 and go to about 19. Not that older women can't be fans, she's a wonderful role model and a remarkable character, but the marketing audience for the TV show was never for anyone above 25. That's not where their money will be coming from. Keep that in mind as you watch the show. It will reveal itself in the dialogue, and in the general content of the series. This also explains why they chose the lines about calling her Super Girl for the sneak peek. This was aimed towards the young girls of the fanbase, the ones who are told they aren't capable of hitting hard enough, or that they can't play the rowdy and rough games because they are a girl. This is trying to bridge the gap between both sexism and age segregation (which is ridiculously and unnecessarily common in the US), within one show. It is also placed in the trailer, and in the show in general, as a personal development for Kara. She is still finding herself, much like CBS' teen target audience (from what we have seen, in the beginning she is), and therefore, the use of the term "girl" is relevant. She's not at that place yet. While the graphics are simply "alright", and the plot is entirely different from my personal favorite (the New 52 version of the Super Girl comics), I am reserving my judgement for after I see the show for myself. Don't be so quick to toss it aside, it may be worth the watch. Either we'll have to wait and see! Hopefully this will be worth the wait.
