So the weirdest of all complaints that I see for Mon-el on my dash is, why did he “keep” the necklace or why did he kiss his wife in front of Kara. And I’m like??
They didn’t break up, it was almost like losing someone to death... He had to leave earth forever & she gave him that necklace as a parting gift. In the future where he lived for seven years wearing that necklace, she must have been dead for centuries. People hold onto dead loves, still move on & get married… that’s life! She’s not going to just yank it off like a crazy person when she happened to see it while grabbing his collar. And he just fixed his shirt & got back to saving his wife & his friends’ life on the ship instead of walking back into a DEO prison cell for no real reason other than not behaving as expected.
As for the kiss, his wife who just had a brush with death, recovered… People kiss their spouses in situations like that & its not a normal thing to expect the reflex action or first thought to be the feelings of an ex from seven years ago.
As for the necklace, if she wants the gift back, they can talk about it like adults do. He’s not going to dramatically hand it back like they just had a fight or breakup and she’s not going to demand it because this is not a normal situation. They parted still in love, in a very death like situation, they are quite literally in very different places & just because Kara is hurt doesn’t mean that Mon-el or his wife are in any way wrong or responsible for her pain.
You can say that he should have told her earlier, but then again he didn’t know how to tell her anything. He’s probably been through a lot & had priorities over having an extremely weird conversation with an ex he never thought to ever see again & for whom the parting is way more fresh than it is for him. It’s not like he lead her on, he said no twice when she kissed his forehead, apologized after that monologue and Kara herself felt he was being distant.
Start bashing him for merely existing just because it’s getting in the way of your ship? Well I wonder who used to do that when Mon-el’s actions were getting in the way of their ship. I get that the show is called Supergirl but he doesn’t just exist to be a punching bag for shippers when he’s not dancing perfectly to their beats like an obedient monkey.
He just returned, maybe try celebrating that? Or enjoying his new story? Or is Mon-el stanning just limited to shipping Karamel?
