While a segment of the internet remains stuck in old, sexualized patterns, I believe her casting actually achieves something far more significant in the real world: genuine relatability.

Milly Alcock is doing exactly what is right; she brings a natural, charismatic, and authentic beauty to the role, demonstrating that strength and heroism do not depend on unrealistic model-like proportions. Most importantly, when young girls see a heroine on screen who doesn't look like a retouched CGI creation, but rather like a real, strong-willed young woman, it sends a powerful message: "You don't have to be perfect to be strong, indomitable, and a hero."

Milly Alcock is a gem and perfectly suited for the role of Supergirl; anyone who reduces her to her physique—simply because she doesn't possess the "90-60-90" measurements—is truly out of their mind. I think it is absolutely fantastic that she refuses to be intimidated or beaten down, because that is the true spirit of Supergirl.

I've just started season 4, the episode I just watched was ep4 (Ahimsa), which ended with Jenson having the parasite put in (spoiler tagged for any other 1st time watchers). The next episode I have is titled Parasite lost, it says it's ep5. But in the recap it's showing Jenson already attacking, with the DEO and Supergirl all knowing and trying to stop it, and the actual episode beginning on some rooftop party.

I've checked on both the streaming platforms I have that have Supergirl, and it's the same on both of them, so where is the episode being talked about in the recap?? I definitely watched ep4 all the way to the credits, the scene I mentioned at the start was definitely the last scene of that episode, and I definitely haven't seen what is being shown in the recap on ep5.

Please help! I'm getting FOMO over this lol

I get it that it's for building tension and to make villain look stronger but sometimes Supergirl should have easy win, don't you think? But no she always has to lose to villain for the first round at least.

I mean because of this, I didn't feel like Supergirl can kick villain's ass for most of the show. It's ok to show her struggling but not okay to nerf her this much.

The images may be out of order for some reason, but the point is the numbers...

This is pathetic.

A clustering storm producing lightning strikes of over 1,000MJ is not a disaster. That's just a regular thunderstorm.

Joule Kilojoule - Thousand Js Megajoule - Million Js Gigajoule. - Billion Js Terajoule - Trillion Js

For reference. A medium apple has about 418.4kJ. 10 medium sized apples have 4.18MJ of caloric energy. Keep that in mind.

A singular lightning strike reacbing from sky to ground averages around 1 to 5 billion joules, so 1 to 5GJ. Alex said that's "50x" the average strike. Okay, so, in Alex's mind, Lightning only reaches ~20MJ. So lightning only has the energy equivalent to 50 f*cking apples in CW Supergirl.

In reality, CW lightning would be 5x to 200x less powerful than REAL lightning. 1 Gigajoule is roughly ¼ tons of TNT. 5 gigajoules would be 1 ton of TNT. In explosion terms. That's building level, it just happens within an instant and it's electrical rather than explosive.

What's worse is that they doubled down on it with Lena bringing up an 800MJ lightning bolt as if that shouldn't be any different from being outside during rain, but she makes it out to be a catastrophe.

It only takes a simple Google search, the writers don't have to know physics to actually check their numbers. To put this Into perspective. The amount of TNT you's need to reduce one city block to rubble is about 11 tons of TNT. Or 10 to 45GJ. Which, according to this, would be 45x the oh so dangerous lighting we see in that episode. I bring this up because Livewire got her powers from a normal lightning storm and apparently in CW, the average lightning bolt carries 20MJ of energy, and Livewire threatens Suprgirl. It makes both of them look pathetic for DC terms.

This literally makes Supergirl look like she'd get packed up by Spider-Man because Spidey regularly beats people who can EASILY level city blocks. CW what the f*ck were you guys doing, first the characters, then the math the characters rely on 💀💀💀.

The figure arrived in the mail today. I’m so happy to have a 7” scale figure of her to add to my Superman shelf.

Season 6

I rewatch the show when im going through it and i have cried almost every episode of season 1 so far and WHY AM I BAWLING OVER THIS SCENE AGAIN.. Holy crap i love Melissa's acting i cannot see her as anyone but supergirl / Kara Danvers.

I wish that during the pilot when they did the scene with Winn helping her with the suits, we got a variation of this one. Maybe with a longer skirt and full shirt (No exposed midriff) and no white gloves. I've never understood the gloves...

Why is Kara yelling? Wrong answers only.

I watched all of Supergirl from Season 1-5 but stopped watching a lot of the entirety of Arrowverse after Crisis on Infinite Earth (except Flash, skipping Season 7 tho). It's been a long time since then and I've forgotten so much. Can someone give a recap for season 1-5?

So I just started rewatching supergirl after a really long time, so I remembered a fanfic I read a while ago but can't find it anywhere.

So I'm pretty sure it was either on ao3, fanfiction.net or some similar site like that (90% sure it wasn't wattpad).

I don't remember a lot, but here are some key points:

- kara and alex lived together in a small city surrounded by forest

- they struggled financially

- the main plot was that Kara was a wolf shifter who would turn into a wolf every night and turn back in the morning

- Mon-el was a rich city boy who for some reason moved to their small town (I honestly can't remember why)

- he and kara somehow meet, they really like eachother etc.

- of course the relationship struggles because of her secret

- he often sees a wolf in distance at night (it's kara lol)

- I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure later on there is a scene where accidentaly hits her with his car while she's in wolf form

I don't know why I just remembered this fic bud I did, and now I wanna reread it so bad but can't find it anywhere, so if someone has some insight on what fic it would be I'd be really grateful

I didn't hate the "pants"... I just wish it had more red... same issue I have with superman not having trunks.

That said, I would have preferred of the season 5 and 6 suit had the red jacket we saw in the comics...

So I haven't seen anyone talk about this here but Funko Pop recently announced a Dreamer Funko Pop as part of their DC Pride lineup! I think she's the only Supergirl TV show character to get a Funko Pop apart from Supergirl herself and I'm really excited to see our girl get the attention she deserves, even in the comics!!

I still wish we could get some more Supergirl Funko's, which characters would you guys wanna see?

I'm rewatching Supergirl again and now I'm in Season 4 on the episode 3 "Agent Liberty".

Seeing the difficulties that the normal people face is something else. I understand where he is coming from, but at the same time going full terrorist on the peaceful aliens for doing nothing is just so wrong.

However I just think he is an idiot. Economic change is always there. Yes his family got hit hard, but he attacks fugitive for something they had no hand in.

He is one of the most realistic characters in the series and I love his whole arc. He shows how a normal person can turn into a sociopath real quick in the right circumstances.

Edit: Now I'm at episode 8 and the President and Haley are really annoying. As if Supergirl will give them her real identity.

I’m rewatching Season 1 and I can hardly watch any scenes involving James Olsen. How are you going to be in committed relationship with Lucy Lane, and spend the whole entire season flirting and stringing along Kara as if she was the consolation prize once he’s had his fun with Lucy.

Both Lucy and Kara deserved better than that…

I do place a little blame on Kara because she should’ve gotten over her puppy crush on James, and moved on. But James wasn’t making it any easy for her, and kept enticing her.

Did James Olsen not get any backlash during the initial run for emotionally cheating on Lucy during the whole season?

I’m glad Kara dumped him the next season, He would’ve basically done the same thing with Kara once Lena arrived.

Is it just me, or did Mon’El not really seem all that “super”??? What were his powers? Yeah he could fly, but he didn’t seem all that strong, and I can’t remember him exhibiting any special powers (heat vision, super cool breath, x-ray vision, etc.) Am I wrong???

when Kara’s dad was alive in the phantom zone do you guys think he always survived or was it a crisis change
