Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Guys you can enjoy whatever you like but make no mistake they're targeting women with these shows.
I think YOU guys have the problem trying to justify what you like by saying these characters are for male audiences.
In regards to Buffy:
"The very first mission statement of the show was the joy of female power: having it, using it, sharing it."

they have a woman they call queen over there too, i guess the english have been a bunch of girls since the 50s. which would make a kind of sense.
I dunno, I wanted to be Superman/Spiderman/Batman/Hulk when I was a kid.
Bruce Jenner probably watched too much Buffy and Wonder Woman growing up too.

Firestar.
Dangergirl is like charlies angels of comics. old version. not shitty remake.
Supervillian prison in this series would be pretty dumb. considering superman and girl are the only powered heroes supposedly. what exactly are they fighting for? if every super powered HUMAN goes evil? Great Luthor moment is him pointing out the opposite.. the last son of Krypton... is not the last. And ALL the rest, save SG who herself has had "anger issues", all in the phantom zone becuase Superman had to kill or imprison them.
I think it was less of a prison, and more of a giant ship that was in the phantom zone where they could be in.
Phantom Zone keeps changing in DC history to what it really is. There is also the Source wall that Superman puts really nasty dudes in like Darkseid so he doesn't have to kill them.
I'm surprised we already have 3 kryptonians in the pilot alone I would expect to see more as the series is fleshed out.
Be easy to have the Legion also guest star in something like this. Superman's cast is kind of like Spiderman. Very big within itself.

All this faggotry aside, I really liked the pilot. It was surprisingly well done and interesting enough for both men and women I think. It is already substantially better than Gotham.
Sure it has some typical comic book dumbness to it, but given the source material I think they did a pretty good job. It isn't like we can't nitpick stuff about other shows, and compared to Smallville this is almost a work of art. Many of us watched that show for ten damn seasons. And at least this isn't Sex in the City with a cape. Sister storyline was dumb but on par with most comics, and she's hot, so as long as the drama was limited to this episode, great.
Couple of comments/questions regarding non-spoilers or things shown in the trailer:
1) I'm a little surprised that she shared her secret with the dude that is obviously in love with her that she can't possibly have worked with for more than a couple of years. I don't even remember his name, that's how big of a character he was. Hell, in a place like that, that dude is more likely to sell her out to Cat than keep her secret. Anyone else get the feeling that they might have originally written his character as gay, and then added some lines to make him not? Would have made more sense because they might have been BFFs instead of just coworkers. Or maybe I just see gay everywhere, fabulous!
2) I never realized the Kara/Carol Danvers similarity (mostly because I haven't read much about Supergirl to even know that was her name) until I heard people saying it repeatedly. Anyone know who copied from whom?
3) Calista Flockhart should have been cast as an evil alien, because she looks fucking weird to me. Always has, but more so now that she's getting older. Seriously, stare at her for awhile when she's on screen, it is freaky!
Anyway, repeating that I really liked this and was pleasantly surprised. Just enough of her trying to live up to her heritage and step out of Superman's shadow for girls to sympathize, but not too much to turn off people (guys) that don't care. I felt the effects were pretty well done considering it isn't Agents of SHIELD with Disney "LOL Money Hats" money behind it. I will definitely be adding this to my lineup in the fall, hopefully it continues to deliver at least as much as the pilot did.

omg I knew she looked familiar but I seriously couldn't recognize her when she's not weighing 70 pounds from her Ally McBeal days.

Probably just a coincidence.
Mary Marvel 1942
supergirl 1959 Kara "Linda Lee" Secret Identity. Adopted by Fred and Edna Danvers. (taking the name Linda lee Danvers in 1961.)
Linda Danver's Supergirl #3 was 1996.
Carol Danver's Ms. Marvel. 1968. takes Captain Marvel name 2012.
Although...
Carol Ferris... maybe its NOT. Supergirl+Star Sapphire= Ms. Marvel?

The show is promising. I just hope the pacing is refined for subsequent episodes. They threw in everything but the kitchen sink to make things as exciting as possible.
