#superpoor

My biggest problem is that everyone seemed to forget about Kara in episode 3. Lena hasn’t said a word, unless you count the quiet “me too” in this episode right after she told Brainy to ‘get it all out’. Did she get hers “out” off-screen? 

Lex walks away with everything way too easy, which after reading what other people had to say about the second episode, I have to agree this is very lazy writing. I do think Lena made the right decision leaving the company, and the “superpoor” memes are hilarious but I don’t think she’s a type of person to stay poor for very long.  With all this and the characters they have decided to focus on, new or old, I feel disconnected from most of them. I liked the vampire boi they introduced and this episode was just “oops, he dead”, which brings the question why did he have to be gay? I’m not saying it was a bad choice, I really enjoyed his story in the last episode but this one just pulled the rug under all possible ways his story could have continued. And a part of me is just screaming because we all know mainstream can only have so many gay characters, so getting what we actually want to see seems even further now.  Don’t even get me started on the Martians, I’ve enjoyed J’onn’s story and character since season 1 but this is not even close to what he was back then. Now both of them with M’gann just seem so irrelevant to everything, like they’re just there to fight the rogue phantoms and act as “heroes” without a subtext.  I’ve been binging Flash these past weeks and when he knew he was going to die, he made sure all his Flash fam had a place and purpose after he was gone. Where are these writers and storylines for Supergirl? Why does Supergirl have to be so horrible and cringey to watch? Instead of “hey let’s reset everyone’s personal growth back to square one” they could’ve gone further and developed the characters. I loved the first 3, maybe 4 seasons of Supergirl but after that it has felt like they just gave up. 

I’m not even going to explore all the strange plot holes and questions I’ve had, seems like the writers forgot the lore they had already established. I just hope the rest of the season gets someplace better. And I can’t wait to see how they address the whole supercorp issue, they know they have to. I just hope it’s not “kill your gays” situation. I don’t even really watch SPN but sending a man to literal hell after confessing their love to another man, just seems like a huge ‘fuck you’ to all their fans. 

All I’m asking from any writers of any show ever, please respect your fans and while you don’t have to do everything they ask, you can’t please everyone. But you can give satisfactory growth, achievement or even an open ending to a character’s arc that leaves the freedom for us fans to decide in our heads where we want that character to go after your show/book/movie saga ends.
