Supergirl TV Series "The Adventures Of Supergirl" Review


Believe it or not we have just a few a weeks left until the second and hopefully better live action Supergirl films comes out. While yes there will be a tie in review for that film coming out about a week or so before the release of that film this isn't it as people have seemed to have forgotten the fact that the character did also appear in a successful live action TV show with it being an episode of that show that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I review the episode that not only saw Supergirl meet her more famous cousin but also saw the show jump ship to The CW with the episode in question being called simply just "The Adventures Of Supergirl" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a Kryptonian ship crash lands on Earth Supergirl and her cousin Superman have to find out who was in the ship and stop an assassination attempt on Lena Luthor. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. For a show on The CW this episodes plot was about as good as it was ever going to be as lets be frank here when you think of shows on The CW you don't usually think of high end plots and with this in mind this episodes plot did turn out to be alot more better then what it really should have been. With the plot of the episode being one that is quite fun and does serve as a great way to get you into what was this shows second season as it doesn't hit you over the head two much with the series overall plot rather it just gives you the basic Supergirl plot and that's really it and to be fair for a season opener that's all it really needed to do and while yes it would have been nice if the plot of this episode was alot more stronger as alot of the time it did feel like the episode was just on repeat mode until we get to the third act with this being something that did make it feel like the plot of the episode was playing second fiddle to Superman when it should have been the other way around with even the fact that Superman is in this episode doesn't really add anything to the episodes plot as he doesn't really do alot to advance the plot of the episode in the first place with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers / Supergirl and Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen. Also starring in this episode is Chyler Leigh as Dr. Alex Danvers , Jeremy Jordan as Winn Schott , Chris Wood as Mon-El , David Harewood as Director J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter , Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent / Superman , Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant , Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor , Brenda Strong as Dr. Lillian Luthor , Frederick Schmidt as John Corben , Andrea Brooks as Eve Teschmacher , Sachin Sahel as McGill and Darren E. Scott as Baker.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. The fact that this episodes acting is about as average as you'd expect from a CW show is pretty much something that you expect as much like how no one goes into Power Rangers expecting good acting the same thing is true for quite literally any show on The CW, yet even so the acting in this episode was alot more better as you could see the actors actually trying to put in a good performance with alot of quite clearly caring about the show enough to put in a good enough performance in the first place. With the best actor in this episode being Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant as while it would have been super easy to say that either Melissa or Tyler were the best actors in this episode Calista just about stole the show acting wise as she does have a great speech in the episode and with her making it obvious that she is leaving the show she does have go the extra mile to make her performance in the episode be all the more believable and this is something that she does do with great ease. With the acting that's in this episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Lindala Schminken FX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Look to be fair CGI has never been The CW's strongest suit as alot of there effects heavy shows like this one and Th Flash for example do have alot of very wonky CGI in them but in this episode is does feel as if the episode had already ran out of money for it's effects. As alot of the flying effects do look half finished even for a TV show with Superman himself perhaps getting the worst flying effects in he episode as it does just look like he's being dragged like something on a laptop or computer and heck the scenes with him and Supergirl together in the air just look fake as it's clear that the actors weren't filmed together. However whilst there are alot of really bad looking effects in this episode there are also some decent looking ones as well like for example the Lena Corp building does look pretty good as does the scene where Supergirl and J'onn are trying to stop the falling Kryptonian ship from crashing into alot of buildings and yet it's the more bigger scenes that do let this episodes CGI down as its all good giving alot of the more smaller scenes in the episode some really good effects but you also have to give the more important scenes some really good looking effects as well and this is something that this episode just doesn't do now in all fairness this could be a budget reason as this episode would have had to have spread its budget across a whole season of episodes which if that was the case then why did they introduce a character that's going to eat up more of there effects budget in the first place when that could have been used to make the episodes effects all the more better then what they already are.


As was mentioned at the very start of this review this episode does see Superman fully make his debut in this show. While yes the character did technically appear in the first season of the show it was always either from behind or really far away but this is the first time that we actually get to see him proper with this version of the character being abut as true to the Superman character as you can hope for on a TV show budget with him being the eternal optimist which is something that is true to how character as Superman will always look for the good in people even if they can't see it yet in themselves and this is something that we do get to see this take on the character do in this episode as we get to see him talking to other member of Team Supergirl with him more often then no giving them advice on how to get what it is they want currently in life. The only thing does somewhat let this version of the character down is the fact that both he and Supergirl are cracking jokes at each other every few minuets that they are on screen together which is something that does make sense as they did quite literally grow up together but alot of the time it does feel like that they are stopping the episode to have the characters make a quick joke and when you add in the face that Supergirl is also an eternal optimist in this show it does make there conversations together just not that interesting with the only interesting thing that they say to each other being at the end of the episode when Superman asks Kara to tell him stories of Krypton which is so that does make sense as he was only a baby when the planet blew up and show would know alot more about the planet then he would have done but if the makers of this episode had her start to doubt herself in this episode then maybe there chats together could have been more fun to watch as then he would be someone who is trying to motivate her instead of someone who is just like her and talking the exact same way that she does.

This episode does also see the show fully jump ship from CBS to The CW however whilst this does come with it's advantages like being alot more easier for crossovers to happen as now all of the Arrowverse shows are filmed in the same studio. It does also come with it's disadvantages as well as actor Calista Flockhart did have to leave the show as it would mean being away from her family for a huge portion of the year something which wasn't an issue in the first season as the first season of the show was filmed in LA whereas from season 2 onwards they mostly filmed in Vancouver this is does have the on add effect of making this show look like all of the other Arrowverse which granted is great for unity but given the fact that this show is meant to take place on a different earth it does make the show feel alot less unique. With another plus being the fact that it does allow for the makers of this episode to be alot more hands on something which we don't really get to see in this episode as the episode does feel like a typical Supergirl episode and that's really it but we do get to see a change to the status quo of the show with Kara now being a reporter and the DEO now having a bigger base of operations this was no doubt done due to the fact that they the show might have had a bigger budget this time around and while the effects don't entirely reflect that the fact that we get a new main set for the rest of the show does and to be fair to this episode it does show of this new set quite alot as we get alot of scenes in this new set with the characters just showing alot of the different rooms something which they might not have done in the previous season and while not alot of the new scenes in this new set add anything to the plot of the episode the set itself is one that does look really impressive but at the same time tho the makers of this could have spent alot less on that set and given more of the money to the episodes effects teams t make this episode effects be all the more better.


The main villain in this episode is John Corben with the character apparently being one of the best assassins in this world. I say apparently as he has two attempts to kill Lena Luthor and he fails both times which is something that one of the best assassins in the world just wouldn't do granted the first reason was because of the fact that she changed her mind about going on the space ship and did something else but on the second attempt he was only fighting Alex a mortal who he could have shot several times but didn't this doesn't really make him a good assassin but given the fact that he's the first villain of a new season he does his job well enough as he's only there to set up the main threat for this season which is CADMUS and the villains that they create. With John himself not really being the best of villains as he doesn't have a main plan in mind which does make it look like that he's just doing all of these things for no reasons now granted there is very much a chance that in further episode they might very well have explained what his plan was in this episode but in terms of this episode they do no such thing which is something that does make him look like a weak villain as there's nothing interesting about him that makes us the audience want to see more of him as a character and yet yet he gets the big tease for the season when he gets turned into Metallo which isn't enough to make him an interesting character granted the first villain if a new season is never meant to be interesting as they are basically there to get you in the mood for what's to come but there really still needs to be something literally anything about them that makes them worth while be it there power of there plan and yet John has nothing interesting about him and therefor we the audience have really no reason to care for him as a character.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty two minuets and forty eight seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show in the first place and while the episode really didn't need that amount of running time it would have done more harm to the episodes plot then good if the episode was even five minuets shorter as the episode does have alot of things to set up and while alot of the rings that it does set up would have been better saved for the second episode getting them out of the way here does allow for those other episodes to be more fun in the first place with this episode having the right mount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place. However the episode really doesn't use its running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the fully develop its plot and while this isn't a huge issue as it is something that very easily could be an issue for all of the other Arrowverse shows it ie something they the makers of this episode should taken some steps in fixing as due to the plot being as wafer thin as it is there times where it does get to tell just what the main plot is meant to be with the makers of hie episode being more focused on showing us its new DEO set then it is in giving us a well thought out plot. The same thing could also be said for the episode character development altho here there is an in build excuse as you could very well make the argument that the characters got alot of there character development during the shows first season which is something that would be a fair point to make however a character like Superman didn't get any character development which again you could argue he doesn't need as he's so well in the first place but this is a new version of the character and yet we know nothing about him with the makers of this episode being more focused on having Clark and Kara making jokes about each other then they are in giving there characters some character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the episode really delivering on its action as well as it possibly could have done as we do have to take into account that this is a TV show that's made on a TV show budget and therefor we can't expect there to be lots of really good action every few minuets as that just wouldn't be good for the episodes budget and yet with that in mind this episodes action did turn as well as it could have done. With the best action scene in the whole entire episode being the third act attack on Lena Luthor as we get to not only see Superman and Supergirl working together with both of them using there powers to stop her building from falling but we also get to see Alex engage John in hand to hand combat with her being more then able to hold her own against him, with it always a good time when we get to see more then one superhero use there powers as that is something that will always be cool to see with it being Supergirl that does rightfully save the day as she is the title character after all as she does construct a small tower made out of steel beams to support the building and stop it from falling which is a pretty unique way to save the day with the hand to hand fight being the more interesting of the two bits of action as we do get to see both characters struggle to get the upper hand on the other with Alex only just barely escaping with her life with the rest of the episodes action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while time will indeed tell if the forthcoming movie Supergirl will be a good film this show and this episode isn't one that should be slept on either as while yes this episode is just the stereotypical The CW superhero show episode this is something that is right for this version of the Supergirl character in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that re in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the i ages that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Supergirl TV Series "Pilot" Review


When people talk about the Arrowverse they mainly talk about both either Arrow or The Flash and rightfully so as those were some really good shows. However very little if anybody talk about the show that i'm going to be talking about today as it is a show that should be talked as it made a mostly unknown character become alot more well known interms of the mainstream audience and so then join me as I review the episode that introduces a new hero to the world of the Arrowverse with the episode in question being called simply just "Pilot" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when she saves the life of her sister Kara Danvers has to choose between living the life that she's been told to live or become the hero that she was always meant to be and save her city from an escaped alien convict in the process. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as it was the stereotypical pilot plot for a superhero show but at the same time this episodes plot doesn't really do a good enough job of setting up the world that this show takes place in and while yes that does indeed make some sense as this is only the first episode you also have to lay the groundwork for the world building as well and while the plot of this episode does indeed set up the plotline for this season really well it is still a fairly weak storyline with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers / Kara Zor-El / Supergirl and Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen. Also starring in this episode is Chyler Leigh as Dr. Alex Danvers , Jeremy Jordan as Winn Schott , David Harewood as Director Hank Henshaw , Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant Owain Yeoman as Vartox , Faran Tahir as The Commander , Ben Begley as Tobey , Robert Gant as Zor-El , Derek Mio as Hayashi , Dean Cain as Dr. Jeremiah Danvers , Laura Benanti as Alura Zor-El and General Astra , Malina Weissman as Young Kara Zor-El , Jordan Mazarati as Young Alex Danvers and Helen Slater as Dr. Eliza Danvers.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was n all honesty not that bad. As the acting that we got in this episode was alot better then what it really had any right to be given that acting in any pilot episode is very rarely if ever that good when compared to the rest of the series as the series cast are still trying to find there characters the very fact that we got acting is as a good as it is in this episode can only be a good sign with this being helped by the fact that this episodes cast a genuinely good bunch of actors with the actin this episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally.


Doing the CGI for this episode is Encore VFX and the legends and the greats that are currently over at CounterPunch Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as these Arrowverse shows aren't really known for having fantastic CGI in the with this episode being no exception but at the same time given the small budget that this episode would have had this episode has alot more better CGI then it really should have had as by all accounts this episode should have had some really bad looking CGI in it and yet the effects in this episode look so much better then the CGI in say The Flash TV series for example and while the episode does have alot of painfully bad CGI effects in it the episode also has some really good looking CGI effects in it as well.


To this episodes credit it is alot better then the Supergirl as it does treat Supergirl herself alot better then what she was treated in the movie. As in the movie she was very boy crazy and was a bit of a clutz even setting the films plot into motion by putting her entire civilization into danger where as here she's treated with alot more respect as she's someone who is very caring and is someone one who does care for her family as evidenced by the fact that she openly exposes herself by trying to save her adoptive sisters life something which could put not only her life but also the life of her friends and family in danger as well and when she gets the call to be a hero she says yes right away as it's the right thing to do and not because t's quite literally in her DNA to help people and it's that kind of attention to detail that proves that the makers of this show have alot more respect and love for the character then what the makers of the movie did as the makers of the movie her fighting an invisible enemy which even for the Superman movies was just such a dumb idea.

While this episode does indeed make several references to Superman which does make sense. At the same time tho it's not really something works all that well for not only this episode but the episode as a whole as it doesn't really give Kara the chance to stand out as a character as we the audience are being reminded of this other character that we are all the more familiar with and while yes having him in this episode does make sense as both her back story and Superman's backstory are tied together he really wasn't needed to seen nor referenced after she got dropped of at the Danvers house hold.


This episodes main villain Vartox really isn't that interesting of a villain. As while he is just a first episode villain and therefor he shouldn't really push are main hero to her limits as that really wouldn't make sense as we the audience aren't really attached to her yet as a character he still needs to be an interesting villain and while to his credit he does have a good plan of trying to get revenge on presumably his villain friends by blowing up a plane that contains government agents it's that very plan that causes Kara to reveal herself to the public as well.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty five minutes and fifty nine seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for alot of these Arrowverse shows and to this episodes credit it does make the most of that running time but at the same time tho the episode could have been alot longer as at this point in time the show really wasn't set in the main Arrowverse and as a result of that is that it doesn't have that knowledge of how that world works to fall back on but I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing it tho.


So now then as this an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episodes was in all honesty really good. Which is something that's not all that new as the Arrowverse shows had some really good action in it as well with this episode having some really good action in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Overall while this episodes wasn't as good as I remember it being it's still quite clear that alot of love and passion for the character into making this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page and IMP Awards. Com. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the great the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes and are really of course on the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page are really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Rating Some Of The Live Action DC TV Shows From Worst To Best


DC fans lets be real for the next few months Marvel is going to be on everyone's lips and while there taking all the money ever made on the big screen DC is getting all the views across both TV and there are own streaming service. So I thought i'd rank some of there TV shows from worst to best and yes I will be including stuff done for there streaming service but i'm only counting the live action output since if I didn't the number spot would be very easy to predict.

Legends of Tomorrow


Out of all the shows set in the Arrowverse this is perhaps the worst one in my opinion and i'm saying that because it's the same storyline every single year there's this big bad guy that the team has to face all the while avoiding this big corporation who wants to stop them. It honestly gets boring after a while which is a shame because when it wants to be this show can be really fun especially during the action sequences.

Gotham


This show just aired it's final ever episode but in my opinion while that episode was indeed good the series as a whole just isn't. The reason why I think this is the case is because it's a prequel so we know none of the main cast of characters are going to die because they play a part in the Batman lore and so all suspense is gone but to the shows credit it does have a great performance from Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot.

Supergirl


Now i'll admit to not watching much of this current season so I can't really say if this season is any good or not but just based of the previous three this is one of the worst shows on the Arrowverse. It's not that bad of a show by any means but what really gets me is the fans the fans of this show can be really insane when it comes to these shows even going as far as threaten to boycott the show because an actress chose to leave the show.

Titans


Our first show from the DC Universe and I have to say that I really did enjoy this show alot the show had alot of things in it that I really liked like for example the acting from the leads was really good , I liked the fact that it was more mature because it's not a take i've seen on the Titans before and the action was solid. The reason why this show isn't higher is just because it didn't grip me so I wasn't compelled to watch the next episode.

Doom Patrol


Now i'll admit i've only seen the first episode of this show and so this show being placed here is purely based on that episode alone. To me the show seems really fresh and unique it has a great mixture of comedy , action and drama but as far as the first episode goes that's all it has since like Titans i'm not feeling compelled to watch the next episode so I have no idea if it's getting better or worse.

The Flash (2014 Series)


I know that not alot of people like this show but I love it for me it's a comic book show that's not afraid to be a comic book show. I will admit that there can be some bad episodes but the same thing can be said for every show , this show honestly has some of the best CGI seen on network television and they do it on a weekly basis as well. The show knows when to use humour which to me really does help sell the show because it makes it feel more real to me and it's easily the best show in the Arrowverse.

Elseworlds Review


DC fans the Arrowverse has really taken of on The CW with countless shows both live action and animated and very year alot of these shows like to get together for one big crossover think Justice League if it was done on a TV budget. Well now the latest crossover event have finally finished and i'm here to bring you my review of it so here here is my review of "Elseworlds".

The basic plot of this crossover is Barry and Oliver wake up one morning and find that everyone thinks there each other and so they have to team up with Kara to not only work out what's going on but to also put a stop to it. I'll be the first to admit that the story for this years crossover wasn't as good as last years just due to the fact that last years crossover not only had a self contained story but also advanced many of the stories seen on the individual shows and this time that's not the case at all. It also doesn't help that The Flash portion of the episode really does feel like a prolog.


I'm not going to name every single actor who's in this years crossover just because there's so many so instead i'm just going to name the actors who appear in more then one episode and they are Grant Gustin , Danielle Panabaker , Carlos Valdes , Stephen Amell , David Ramsey , Tyler Hoechlin , Melissa Benoist , LaMonica Garrett , Elizabeth Tulloch and Jeremy Davies. I know that i've missed a certain name of this list but that's because I want to talk about her separately

In terms of the actors that i've listed it would be considered a cliche to say that there really good in this episode but since i've just reviewed Birds Of Prey and that had dreadful acting i'm going to say it anyway. The acting in this three part crossover was really good and while alot of that is due to the fact that these actors have been playing this characters for over five years now it's still impressive how these good actors continue to turn in solid performances every week.


Now alot has been made about the casting of Ruby Rose as Kate Kane aka Batwoman alot of what was said prior to the episode was mainly focused on the fact that even tho both the character and the actor being gay. People thought that Ruby was two gay whatever the hell that means and that just makes me think that the people making those kind of complaints are just willing to complain about anything. As for her acting I thought for the few scenes she was in she was alright nothing to special but also not that bad I would like to see a full series with her just to see what they would do with the character tho and this show commits the same sin that Birds Of Prey did by giving us a weak and out of character reason as to why Batman isn't there and again I have to ask why the heck couldn't he just be of screen like they did with Superman is the first season of Supergirl.

I've given this alot of thought but I have to wonder why the heck didn't they bring in the Legends for this crossover. Black Lightening I get because that films down in Atlanta so it would have been a huge ask to get any of the actors from that show up to Vancouver for two weeks but why not the Legends cast not only do they film in Vancouver but they also film in the exact same studio. I wouldn't have minded so much if they gave a story reason as to why the legends aren't there but nope they don't even get a mention.


If you've seen not only the crossover but also the above image then you know what I have to talk about. When Barry and Oliver first travel to Smallville they straight up play "Somebody Save Me" which was the theme song to Smallville and I laughed out loud when that song started playing because I knew that alot of Smallville fans would either be really happy that that song got played or they'd be really angry.

Humor seemed to the order of the day for this crossover since there was a lot of jokes in not only The Flash's episode but in the Arrow episode as well and I don't really think it was really needed. Don't get me wrong it's great that these crossovers have a lot of humor in them but in last years episode it made sense since they were meeting up for a wedding but here there meeting up to save the world so the jokes weren't always needed thankfully tho they got rid of most of the jokes in the Supergirl episode.


I can't be the only one that wants this but I really want to see to see a full series with Tyler Hoechlin as Superman the guy is just so freaking likable he is the Superman we need but tho the makers of this crossover clearly like destroying dreams because at the end of the Supergirl episode they had Clark announce he and Lois are leaving Earth to raise a baby. So thanks for destroying my dream of seeing him as Superman for a full twenty two episodes but it also means we don't get to see Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois and while she doesn't turn in a bad performance I just don't like her version of the character.


Overall this wasn't as good as last years crossover which I personally think is the best Arrowverse crossover so far but it's still worth watch plus they did something really freaking cool they told us straight up what the next crossover will be. The episode while fun in places is also one that's flawed in alot of places so it gets a 7 out of 10 from me

My Thoughts On #SupergirlBlackout


This is a post that i honestly didn't want to make but since this hashtag thing has made me angry for not one but now two weeks in a row i thought i'd give you my thoughts on #Supergirlblackout.



Now i can guess that right now your thinking "i havn't heard of this hashtag i wonder what it's about" well let me tell you this whole hashtag started because actress Floriana Lima is no longer going to a series regular instead she's going to be a recurring character since the actress wants to pursue other opportunities which is fair enough however that hasn't stopped people from trying to get the actress to come back for more episodes.

I'm a proud Doctor Who fan and as fan of that show i can tell you the change that the people behind this stupid hashtag are going through is understandable that however doesn't make it right because by refusing to watch the show they are in turn hurting the show and increasing it's chances of cancellation which means that Maggie wouldn't be able to come back even if she wanted to.


This is something that's made me angry a few times now just due to the fact that the people who started this hashtag are now proving themselves not to be fans of the show and not only that they are missing some good television now if they want to protest that's fine tweet the creators of the show but do it with at least some knowledge go and actually find out why the person is leaving the actress herself has even said that her contract for the show was just for one season.

Now if you created this hashtag i'm now going to a take some time and talk to you if an actress wants to leave a show to make other things are to pursue other things then that's there choice and by boycotting the show or by telling the creators the only way you'll call this whole thing of is if they bring back said actress then it makes you and your "cause"seem selfish it's ok to love an actress but when you boycott a show there proud of then you don't come off looking good.


I apologize for this rant but it's something that i felt i had to get of my chest and i hope that this post helps change some of your minds anyway be sure to check out Supergirl it's worth it.
