I was worried for Supergirl when i saw Purity doing that backbreaker on her for first time lol, but now i feel bad for saying it but it's such a satisfying move to watch😭😭
what do you guys think it would be like if Kara adopted a human/non alien daughter? like not with Lena or anyone. Maybe she’s on patrol and she makes a connection with a girl who’s been orphaned somehow so she becomes a single mom? What do you think there dynamic would be like? I feel like being Karas daughter would be insecure at times if they didn’t have superpowers like she did but I also feel like Kara would actually be a really good mom.
I'm watching season 4 and one of the biggest flaws of the show is that the Children of Liberty kill aliens with impunity without any opposition other than Super Girl and the Elite for one episode. Manchester Black attacked Ben for the death of Fiona (a human) and he gathered the Elite but what doesn't make sense is that the rest of the aliens will never organize a counterattack.
Not all of them are Super Girl it's true but a Breback with the intention of killing can be very dangerous and aliens without powers could very well use advanced weapons, Jensen stole the powers of an alien that catches fire, and in season 6 we saw aliens with powers quite useful for combat.
Without the Plot Armor that Lockwood has as a seasonal villain the Children of Liberty wouldn't have lasted a couple of episodes, Manchester a human without powers managed to simultaneously defeat several by himself a huge group of angry aliens should have torn them to pieces from the beginning.
I am so tired of reading fics where Kara is always dumb, careless, lacking skills and such. So any fics where Kara is looked up to and respected maybe? Like in the Future Shock series?
Basically any fics where Kara is either intelligent and such when it comes to missions compared to the DEO I guess.
Just anything that doesn't make me hate Kara's human-like character?
Below are good ones that I have read that I liked:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22368541 - My all-time fav Supergirl fic. I LOVE this one the most : )
(Kara Zor El, heir and only child of the House of El, was very beautiful and highly intelligent. She possessed a love of life and learning in equal measure, infusing joy in those around her. As the savior of the last remnant of her destroyed planet, she was revered and beloved by her people; elevated to the honored position of Head of the Science Guild. Lately though, feeling extreme pressures from both her family and her people, she longed for freedom from her duties; she longed for adventure. Accompanied by her recalcitrant Kelex unit and an honorable young soldier with an adventurous spirit of his own, she escapes the confines of her controlled life to seek out her cousin on a distant planet called Earth. Little did she realize how drastically her life could change in only six weeks.)
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12849191/5/The-Shape-Of-Things-To-Come (The Future Shock Series)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/12242334 (People always seem to underestimate Kara and that is a terrible mistake)
https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13754061/14/ - Kara's Talents (Loved these)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/56580343 - Season 2 if Kara and Lena had met years previously and were friends for years before everything went down between Superman and Lex. Kal and Alex are sure that Lena will eventually follow the same path as Lex, but Kara is convinced that she knows better.
(I LOVED the fight scene here where Kara easily fought against everyone. It was so cool)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/21115355 - Kara has endured a lot of things in her life. Far more than someone her age ever should. But instead of letting her pain and anger consume her, she rose above it all. When Diana Prince found her at the age of 14, she decided that she wasn't going to let her arrogant cousin dictate her life, and embrace being the last true Kryptonian. Training, with Wonder Woman, Kara became the best that she could be, following her true passion in science, and becoming a warrior in the process. However, when she revealed herself to the world as Supergirl, she quickly came to realize that not everything, and everyone, was as it seemed.
Follow Kara on her journey of self-discovery, filled with betrayal as well as love. Who will be left standing in the end? The Supers? Or the Luthors?
https://archiveofourown.org/works/35323087 - Kara El-Ze arrives at the fortress of solitude In a dying Kryptonian Fighter. After being stuck in the phantom zone for 25 years her cells have absorbed the Radiation from the Phantom Zone. So she is not blessed with Sols Gifts like Kal-El. Challenging Kal at every turn Kara starts forging a path for herself while being faithful to Rao and House and protecting those she loves.

Can’t get into the Kara and Lena fics at all, and why is there not tons with Maggie and Alex?! Sanvers forever 🩷
Exactly what I wrote in the title. Any recommendations?
Thank you in advance
I just finished rewatching Supergirl and now I'm on Legends of Tomorrow. I'm on 3x10 which is when Avalance starts actually developing and man it's changed my opinions on Supergirl and Dansen.
Like damn, the writers really just gave up for the entire second half of the show. There wasn't really any development Kelly just showed up and they jogged together once then suddenly they were in love then suddenly they adopted a kid then suddenly they were married.
It makes me sad for all the characters even beyond Alex and Kelly. The show had so much potential that was just wasted because of lazy writing and I guess partially covid. Granted I only ever made it halfway through S4 of LoT so maybe it ends up being just as bad (no spoilers please...), but at least they tried with their WLW pairing 🤦♀️.
What did you think of colonel Lauren Haley?
Admittedly, I haven’t watched much of the show. I passively saw bits and pieces because my old roommate was into it. I just don’t consume a lot of superhero media.
But I’m reading Nicole Maine’s’ book, she’s fantastic, and I’m interested in watching episodes that have a larger focus on Nia Nal/Dreamer. I know the general idea of the show, the characters, I’m fine not having the full continuity and context as I jump around.
Is there a best of list for her character?
So during their fallout, whose side are you on?
There was a really interesting section where she talked about how toxic the Supergirl fandom was at times. Things like Sanvers shippers harassing the cast and writers because of Floriana leaving and threatening to kill themselves, the way the fandom treated Staz, the Supercorp shippers who called the show homophobic while completely overlooking the canon representation of Dansen being together and Nia being the first transgender superhero on television, etc etc.
It was honestly kind of refreshing to hear her candid thoughts on the fandom now that it’s been a few years since the show ended. Obviously, the entire fandom wasn’t like that, but the people who were were very loud about it and made the rest of the fandom look bad.
What is one storyline you wish could've been explored more?
Personally I would've loved to have gotten more of Red!K Kara and Red Daughter. Melissa played both these versions of Kara superbly and I wish we could've gotten more of it.
With the incredible series finale of Superman and Lois just airing, I started thinking about the Supergirl finale.
I, like most people, really wasn't satisfied with that final episode. Some parts of it I really loved, like Kara gaining one cohesive identity and becoming public as Kara Zor-El (or Kara Zor-El Danvers), but there's a lot more of it that I dislike.
So, if you had the chance to rewrite the final episode, but only that one episode (Everything through 6x18 stays the same), what would you do?
Here's my idea of how I would do it. I've put too much thought into this.
whatever
She goes to wipe out characters, but they're saved... by Esme. Remember her power to copy powers? Here, she's able to duplicate the powers of All-Stone-Empowered-Nyxly, and is able to hold her off from killing her family for just enough time that Kara is able to fly in and get the All Stone for herself
Suddenly, with all the power in the world to rewrite reality, Kara "wakes up" in a room where she talks to someone about how she could change the world. I am directly copying the ending of Legends season 2 here, where Sara talks to her dead sister and decides if she should rewrite reality to bring her back. In this case, Kara is figuring out if she should rewrite reality to make it a better world, such as by eliminating discrimination, by bringing William back, by bringing the rest of Krypton back, etc.
Eventually, after talking with her minds version of Alex, Lena, or Cat, (Probably Lena, she fits thematically the most for this), Kara decides that it's morally wrong for her to abuse power in this way,that it's not her place to rewrite the world. And in fact, it makes her recognize that many of her actions this season, such as destroying all the nuclear weapons of two nations, was her taking too much undeserved power over others. This completes the theme that season 6 tried to establish (Keyword: Tried)
With this recognition, Kara sees that she should become a more grounded Superhero, one who doesn't put herself above others. And this heavily influences her decision to make her identity public.
Still have Alex's wedding, but as a more reduced scene. Give SuperCorp a "Korrasami" ambiguous ending. End with the identity reveal as the show does.
So, that's my overly thought out rewrite. What would you do about the shows finale?
I found his backstory of what happened very interesting. He went from defending aliens to his father to a full 180 of attacking them and thinking they should be eradicated. I also thought it was fascinating how he had an interaction with Kara, Alex, Lena, J’onn, and James. I loved Lena saying he would become like Lex if he kept up his behavior because that’s essentially what happened in this one episode.
That said I don’t feel sympathy for him after his rhetoric and behavior. He literally killed and tortured people. I just found his opinion shifting fascinating. What did you think of his backstory?
If ever you can rewrite the show, what would you change?
Sometimes they make right decisions and make good like with Lucifer and Sandman, but sometimes it is quite questionable shit that is the Arrow verse. Obviously it has the fan base, but it has not much actual art value in it, honestly. Compared to marvel series, that are generally consistent and more or less on the same level, part of the universe even, The DC creations are somewhat lacking sometimes or much better in some ways. What do you think?
Tell me ur favorite character without telling me they are ur favorite character.
