all very valid and true observations. there is also, I think, a feminist agenda involved in how they handle the Supergirl/Superman dynamic -
I refuse to watch any fan rants on YouTube anymore, just a sea of incels these days searching for conspiracy and slight with every scene. It's really joyless.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Incels? I'm sure that isn't really the fact. Quite the divide going on. What is being done to modern entertainment is not a good practice, and killing franchises. The slow death of comics and beloved sci-fi franchises over fifty years old.Comment

Unfortunately, politics have been so heavy handed in modern comics and TV. It's become unavoidable to the discussion.Comment

If you scan everything looking for a slight, you'll find it. People should try and find some critical thinking.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Agreed, seems like everyone can find fault with anything and turn into a nerd rage fest. Supergirl was implied to be stronger than Superman back in Crisis so its been around for longer than this conspiracy. And quite frankly, Superman is just a guest star on the show.Last edited by thunderbolt; Dec 25, '18, 2:00 PM.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

...and my “nerd rage fest” actually has nothing to do with battle of the sexes. It has to do with mutual respect. Supergirl show just disrespects and insults Superman constantly, non-stop. Why do they have to show him as totally useless? When he said the world no longer needed him because of Supergirl...that’s just criminal. Might as well just kill off Superman and get it over with.
Then what’s the point of enjoying your childhood superheroes then?
Ok, end of rant...I’ll rewatch Ray Donovan, that show rules...and that’s hardly a “nerd” show...sigpicComment

You said it, DC was built on Superman and Batman. To disrespect either one to promote a derivative character is beyond the pale imo. Don't have Superman on if you're going to make him a joke.Comment

So this is Christmas.........:-)
Supergirl is a fun show IMO. I don't mind the CW take on back seat Superman of Earth Whatever. I think we're lucky to get any version on the small screen. (Does Steve Rogers visit Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D much?) I'm not real happy about Aquaman's heavy metal biker look but you won't find me ranting on youtube.Comment

Why is it a rant? I’m not insulting anybody. I’m not screaming on top of my lungs. I’m simply pointing out why this is so disappointing to me, that’s all. Yes, these are FICTIONAL characters, I’m very well aware of that...so “ranting” about FICTIONAL characters is not a crime. I’m entitled to my opinion as long as it’s civil and within these forums rules.
...and just because it’s Christmas...I’m forbidden to talk about this???
I’m sure you have disagreed with something in the past...no one here is perfect...sigpicComment

I hardly rant about stuff.
These are probably my main ones that I’ve posted in the past...
Batman beating Superman
The Phantom Menace and its sequels
Tom Welling
The Dallas Cowboys
Never talked negatively about any of the toys ever mentioned here. I don’t buy the new Megos, but I’m not going to disrespect all the dedicated and hard working people who brought that line back to life.
...and I have always been the defender of minorities playing whatever they want to play, I’m very open-minded.
Oh, and my all time favorite movie character is Ellen Ripley (along with Superman of course). I’m about equal rights.
So forgive me for trying to protect and defend the honor of my all time favorite childhood superhero...Last edited by Hector; Dec 25, '18, 4:47 PM.sigpicComment
