Eivion Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 9 hours ago, RandomAct said: Ok, so I might be alone in this, but I thought the most recent episode of Supergirl was mostly really well done??? Usually when a show like this tries to do a message heavy episode, it comes off really hokey and fake. This is one of the few times where I felt like it came off pretty genuine, and didn't need to rework the the motivations of the characters or anything. Didn't Azie Tesfai write this one? She co-wrote it with J. Holtham, and David Ramsey was director. These things likely explain why it was handled better than usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the episodes he did this season were very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That honestly maybe the best live action superhero fight I've ever seen. The most recent episode was so good and packed an entirely different type of punch. The Yolanda story is really good.

The superhero fight was really good, but it bordered on the edge of my suspension of disbelief with Artemis constantly being slammed into brick walls or through toilets and such. She’s just an incredibly athletic high school kid, so she shouldn’t have been able to go toe to toe with Hourman like that, but that was a relatively minor quibble. Eclipso is awesome, and they seem appropriately afraid of him, although the number of people willing to touch random black goo is a little too high.

They briefly established that Artemis has superpowers during the ep where scouts are there at the school to watch her QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weird thing is that the villains actually seem to give a shit about their kids. Court is the only one of the heroes with a somewhat supportive family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Given that Johns and JDR have a penchant for writing three dimensional villains, not all that surprising. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The actor playing The Shade is really great. He played Blackbeard the pirate on two episodes of Legends in season three and its cool to see him back in a role with a lot more meat on the bone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I'm wondering if they are ever going to make a big deal out of the fact that the JSA is largely a dick to Pat in literally every flashback they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
