Iâd actually really love it. Maybe theyâll mess it up, but Iâd love to see a more âalienâ Kara. I love the show, but itâs not giving me the depth of character Iâm looking for, at least S2 isnât. DCEU Kara would be very interesting to see. The Injustice version is also hella cool. And she might be in Young Justice S3. Give me all the Karas, is what Iâm saying.
I just have so many reservations because either sheâll be cute and light, which is Melissaâs current mark on the character, or she wonât, and people will praise it as better than the showâs version because sheâs darker.
A lot of what makes Melissaâs Supergirl so great was how girly she is. And thatâs whatâs gonna be criticized if a more serious DCEU Supergirl comes along and does well. Not the shitty choices they made in season one, but the showâs Kara as a character. The same dumb misogynistic criticisms the show had in season one.
Hell, if this Supergirl has a bigger cup size, you know that fanboys are gonna be like âThis is how Supergirl should look!â and Iâm not looking forward to it.
Listen, Supergirl messed a lot up this season, but I canât imagine a greater depth for this character. They havenât touched upon it enough recently by any means, but itâs still intrinsically within her and Iâm looking forward to future possibilities and to them hopefully fixing their mistakes.
And honestly? The DCEU got Wonder Woman right but has not lived up to that ideal in other areas, so I donât trust that theyâll be offering her some new depth of character. I mean, I wasnât fond of the way theyâve handled Clarkâs storyline, because it lacked that same light.
And I just want Melissa to be this generationâs live action Supergirl in the same way Grant is this generationâs Flash, because sheâs so right for it and represents something so bright, even if there have been some crap choices made for her.
And people are not as critical of Grant as they are of Melissa (for... reasons you can guess), so he is able to withstand both his showâs issues and a new movie version better than Melissa can for Supergirl. And frankly Melissaâs interpretation is tacking a shit ton of criticism for another (male) characterâs actions and it doesnât sit well with me.
I just I donât think we need another live action Supergirl iteration right now, I canât imagine it giving me anything better than this Supergirl is capable of. I think we should focus our energy in giving this Supergirl the storylines she deserves.Â
