One thing I especially loved about Supergirl is that they didn’t make her have a “sexy” or “sensual” scene that shows off how stunning and desirable she is. Obviously Milly Alcock is beautiful, but the fact that they let her be and stay a mess and have her ugly, unattractive moments inside of her grief really made the movie feel real to me.
Even in the screen caps where she’s having her big superhero moments and she’s shown in her suit for the first time, she’s not being sexualized when many other movies would’ve taken this opportunity to do so. Her suit gets to be form-fitting with a fun skirt without being a skin-tight sexy number. It’s so incredibly refreshing and forces viewers to respect her strength as a character and not just view her as the dominating woman of their wet dreams.
The skirt also has shorts underneath 👏
