The thing I like best about the previews is that Kara is smiling all the time.

If I had all those powers, I sure be laughing a lot. Too many scowls in all the superhero shows lately (The Flash being the exception).

The following is all my opinion:

Guy superheros don’t run around blabbering about their maleness... Until writers get it that self introspection about what is between your legs is not part of the draw to watch a super hero show/movie... they will continue to fail to make a widely appealing female lead super hero show. From what I’ve seen from the previews, supergirl falls into the same old trap. Spends more time worrying about the fact she is female (one of billions) than about the fact that she is a Kryptonian (one of less than a dozen left?)

If they want to see a model of how to do a strong female character and do her right, look at Carol from the walking dead. She was the MVP in last nights walking dead episode, was believable (as far as that goes in a zombie apocalypse show) and showed up several men without making it a war of the sexes type encounter. I cracked up laughing when she walked by the prisoner two guys had spent time to carefully tie up and gave him a head shot without breaking stride. She was taking care of business, not waxing philosophical about the role of women/privilege/other special interest group.

Time spent making a social statement and parroting the SJW talking points is time not spent taking it to the bad guys... The greatest way to show you are equal is to be confident enough not to be insecure about it.

The pilot was leaked onto the Internet several months ago.

It was so-so, far from spectacular. It might last one season, but I doubt it. The pilot lacked any significant appeal.

She’s nowhere near as hot as Laura Vandervoort.

so wonder woman was a flop before it aired.

this is now a flop too.

The idiots who write this stuff have no concept of language. There are gender based words. (ie heroine)

This is how to fix DC comic. FIRE ALL excutives and writers. MOVE all operations out of NYC’s vicinity or ANYWHERE near California. Sell it all to Disney.

The funniest ad was when Supergirl pulled back her blouse to
reveal a skinny little ribcage like Superman used to do. -

I fail to see how it is affirming to women to be able to out-man men. I don't find masculine women particularly attractive, and am more drawn to women as confident in their femininity as I'm supposed to be in my masculinity.

The question, with apologies to Lerner and Loewe, isn't "Why can't a woman be more like a man?" but "Why would she WANT to?"

I always wondered why Superman didn’t fly in a Barcalounger of Lazyboy.
All stretched out like that, arms straight ahead, fists—it doesn’t look very comfortable.

utter and complete garbage.

hollywood would be better served to spend more time on story and content and less time worrying about the demographics of their latest social engineering vehicle

(any mention of Supergirl on FR automatically reminds me of that one picture you put into your profile)
