reality is gay

Of course they don’t like Milly Alcock’s Supergirl. She’s a grown ass woman with zero love interests who spends the movie saving her dog, casually dismantling a sex trafficking ring while she’s at it, and preaching the importance of being good, not nice or smiley or cheerful but good. I for one adored the movie and I really hope I’ll get to see more of Alcock’s Supergirl she’s now my favorite iteration of her and I love her so dearly.

Look I don't think Supergirl (2026) is secretly a perfect masterpiece or anything (I personally thought it was like. a 6/10 fun time) but I do think it's wild that Tumblr isn't going crazy for it because this Kara is one coattailed suit away from being a Tumblr sexyman. she is the flawed messy female character people have supposedly been clamouring for. she's the popular archetype of a gruff self-destructive alcoholic middle-aged man begrudgingly having to look after a kid and growing fond of them but genderswapped and also 23. she's allowed to be visibly messy and kind of gross and her hair is constantly all over the place and she literally cries, screams, throws up, and pisses onscreen. she's caustic and mean and puts up an act of carelessness but has a heart of gold. she's heavily traumatised and coping with it terribly. if anything happens to her dog she will kill everyone in this room and then herself. she spends most of the movie in a trench coat and baggy band T-shirt. she gets into bar brawls and breaks a guy's hand. she is Going Through It 24/7 and looks the part. she stabs a guy in the throat. how is everyone else not obsessed with her.

THANK YOU! I loved Kara, what's a hairbrush?, Zor-el. I'm convinced if the exact same movie starred Pedro Pascal tumblr would be on it like starving pirrahnas.

if supergirl 2026 has 1000 fans, i am one of them. if supergirl 2026 has 100 fans, i am one of them. if supergirl 2026 has 10 fans, i am one of them. if supergirl 2026 has no fans, i'm dead.

Thinking about Supergirl again and the importance it places on parental relationships like yes! You are the summary of a family who loves you! Yes, you can never go back! Yes, your mother and your father will live on in you a thousand light years from the house they died in! Yes, you will spend the rest of your life trying to return to the person you were when you were still their daughter! Yes, you will wear your father’s watch to save the dog you found at your mother’s funeral. Yes, you will see a girl who has just lost her own parents. You will look her in the eyes and tell her that vengeance will not solve anything. You will hope that your ache will fade, any day now. You know it will not, you know hers will not. You will meet people you believe to be good and understand when they sell you out for their own daughter. You will watch those people die. You will watch that daughter die. She only had to live moments without her parents. You are not so fortunate. You will kill a man with her death on your tongue. Her parents were not there to do it but you were and your mother asked you to be good. Not nice but kind. You are Kara Zor-El and you are an orphan but not in the way your cousin is an orphan just like he is a refugee but not in the way you are a refugee. You have lost your parents and you are alone except for your dog (inextricably tied to them) and another parentless little girl you found.

I’m gonna need you all to get more obsessed with Supergirl 2026. It’s literally every single sarcastic, messy, depressed, grieving, male lead from recent media that accidentally adopts an angry, young girl (also grieving) which forces him to confront his self destructive behavior and realize the impact he can still make. But she’s a girl. This is the character you all love in every piece of media. I’m begging you all to adore her the same way.

OMG LEX GETTING HIS SHIT ROCKED YIPPEE!!! I love the discontent between Slade and Alex too omg. And I’m SO glad Hank wasn’t so foolish to be manipulated by Lex blaming his current predicament on Superman (even tho we know Hank does have a bone to pick with Clark) I love when supervillains aren’t dumb as rocks

"we need more complex female characters." you guys can't even handle supergirl.

Superman said, “all immigrants are people and deserve respect and love they aren’t aliens they are humans and the people who disagree should die” and supergirl said, “A women’s purity shouldn’t be defined by the man who has caused them harm and the exploitation of young women is disgusting and the men who do such things should die” and they are right
