could one of the reasons why mick was more immediately sympathetic toward charlie than the others be because he and amaya were very close before she left? even though amaya was the ultimate rule follower, she had the same wildness that mick relates to in charlie, and that makes him feel human. I think she was his moral compass more than anyone else's.

what supergirl season 6 should have been about

Ky's back on his Supergirl bullshit! Or: galaxy brain ideas for Supergirl season 6.

So I've had the idea for a while that the overarching plot of season 6 should have been Zor-El trying to invade Earth, like he does in some(?) of the comics. He'd have to be called something other than Cyborg Superman, but y'know, it's fine. Anyway: I think it would be fun, full of drama, and a relevant way to close out the series.

I was rereading a post I made about season 5 because it got a like and that's what you do. And in that post, I talked about how season 5 is ultimately about forgiveness, of others and of oneself. I think that (fake) season 6 could extend that theme by centering Kara's initial origin story of witnessing her planet's death.

So in episode 8 or something, Zor-El would be like, "The only reason you are their savior is because you let their superiors die!"

And Kara would be like, "Damn, he's right."

But Kara has a support system. Alex, who couldn't save her father. J'onn, who couldn't save his children. Lena, who couldn't save her mother. Nia, who... well, you get the point.

And through the power of friendship and family, they learn to forgive themselves and beat the bad guy. B)

I think there could also be some interesting themes with Zor-El himself, who does have more of a reason to blame himself for Krypton's demise, and who could be trying to invade Earth because he thinks it's the only way to make up for his failure. The "We can still save Krypton!" line could still work really well, both thematically and as foreshadowing. And at the end, Zor-El has to forgive himself, and Kara has to forgive him for abandoning her.

And they, like, collapse against each other in the middle of a field of rubble and sob. Fade to black.

I also think it would be a cool way to center the climate discussion a bit more and address systemic issues in a more focused way. The theme of community/political mobilization could still be present. But it would all tie into what Supergirl really stands for: building things up instead of tearing them down. Sort of in a similar way to season 4, where the villain presents one "solution" to a really big problem, and the heroes have to find a harder, but kinder alternate route.

It would end the same way as the actual series did, because IMO, it always had to end with Kara taking off the glasses. I actually really like the way this was done. I think there could be a more explicit connection to season 1 and the reason she became Supergirl in the first place: she needed somewhere to put all her anger and grief, and now she doesn't anymore.

zari 2.0's character gets so much sadder when you realize that she shares all of zari 1.0's history up until heyworld.

she was bullied her whole childhood. when she was 9, the sneezing dragon video went viral. she's called the dragon girl which means she probably created her social media presence shortly after, with the dragon thing as a launchpad.

and just like. think about what that does for a kid. she grows up with no friends and suddenly gets millions of fans who adore her for the persona she puts out.

so it makes sense why z2 defends her career path to behrad so insistently. it's not just that she put a lot of work into building her brand and she's proud of it. it's that for her, the dragon girl was the first time she ever got the attention and admiration she'd been lacking her whole life.
