Supergirl looks bad and cheesy, and not in a fun comics way like Flash. Everyone saying the Avengers SNL parody is right.

Also I wouldn't doubt if you could cut a different trailer from the pilot with the same story beats but load it with more action scenes from what I'm guessing is the BIG FIGHT between her and that alien dude. Not that I care too much, it's just hilarious I'm reading reactions from some places on the internet reacting and calling Supergirl TOO FEMINIST and TOO SOAP OPERA because of which 6 minutes they decided to use from the 42 they had.

Let's not judge Supergirl based on this material they released specifically so people can judge it :v:

This is my biggest problem. She's goddamn Supergirl, why the hell are you telling her not to use her powers when Superman is RIGHT loving THERE doing the same thing?

"She doesn't have training!" Oh man, too bad, I guess she can never help anyone unless there's literally somebody with her exact same power set who's her cousin flying around, or a sister who's in the goddamn superhuman spy agency. Hell, drop her off with Wonder Woman if you want.

And the dude in charge of the agency has to be the biggest moron of them all. I mean seriously, how goddamn obtuse do you have to be when a goddamn Kryptonian walks up to you and says "I want to help people!" to think that it's going to be more of a hindrance than a help? And then after all this bullshit, you let her go free when you know there are people who want to kill her with full knowledge of her powers and the ability to communicate with her!

This felt so terrible compared to how refreshing the Flash pilot was, Flash literally just up and says he wants to help people, the team gets behind him and he gets to goddamn work, with the only reluctant guy being the villain.

I am apparently way more upset with this than I realised.

My problem is why would she still work for Ally McBeal? She said she wanted to work there to make a change without using her powers. Then she admits that fails AND now she wants to use her powers. Quit that poo poo job, go get some DEO training and work there full time.

I mean I know why(lol CBS execs thinks it appeals to female demographic or whatever), but it is still stupid as hell.
