As for Supergirl, I could enjoy the first couple of episodes of Season 1, for all its simplistic tweeness. But then by episode 11 where they introduce the White Martian (disguised as what's *clearly* meant to be Brigitte Gabriel), it actually started to degenerate into near Warriors of the Deep-levels of pacifist, preachy moral stupidity, and it kind of sunk in that this was a bad, dumb show.

I have not seen beyond the first season.

The Flash did make a nice cameo in the show though.

If you ever want to know how much of a cancer SJW/identity politics is to creativity just look at the SJW/Supergirl version of the Martian Manhunter and compare him to the DCAU version.

In the DCAU he was always one of my fave characters. His backstory is so tragic. His people the Martians were invaded by a hideous and creepy race of aliens called the Imperium, who slaughtered all of the Martians bar him.

They're basically shapeshifters, hence why one takes the form of a xenophobic "no aliens allowed" female political representative who's *clearly* meant to be a parody of Brigitte Gabriel.

But in the story, the White Martian is hunting Martian Manhunter down and as he's telling both Supergirl and her sister about how he wiped out his people, how hard these hunters are to fight and kill, he says he promises he will kill this one...... and he's right. this is clearly an enemy you take no chances with, and which his people paid the price for not taking arms against sooner.

But of course the women have to be outraged by this furious, bloodthirsty turn of his, and moralize and tell him he is wrong to do that and has to do this their woman's compassionate, peace-loving way and reject vengeance and that he shouldn't kill because that's bad.

It's just so stupid I would've spewed out my tea

Ironically for all this SJW crap I don't think there's been a worse time for female heroes. Brie Larson, 13th Doctor, Batwoman, Supergirl. UGH can't anyone come up with a good female hero anymore?

Its hilarious though because in the cartoons, its two women, Hawk Girl and Wonder Woman who slaughter the Imperium's forces and kill its leader.

None of this Warriors of the Deep, Zygon Invasion/Inversion tree hugging, alien invaders have a right to our planet, hippie crap.

Jyn Erso from Star Wars Rogue One, and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman are about the only female heroes I think Hollywood have done well recently.

Well if even Wonder Woman is saying "Kill the fucker!" concerning the Imperium, then the new Supergirl must be especially stupid to think peace and forgiveness can work.

Us mere mortal men do not deserve to live on the same planet as Gal Gadot!

Its funny when you compare her to Brie Larson. Gadot is a much better actress, has screen presence, is absolutely beloved by her co-stars and the fans. Brie meanwhile is a terrible actress, a bigot, and seems to be hated by her co-stars (if the interviews are anything to go by LOL.)

Wonder Woman actually does a fair bit of killing in the comics and most other adaptations believe it or not. I hoped they'd bring this dynamic to Justice League, but sadly they didn't. They just undermined her and everybody else for Supes which is why it didn't work.

I always loved this bit where she takes Ares head off. His cowardly and hypocritical ZEUS ZEUS SAVE ME just makes it better.

Naturally this has left it open to mad feminists and mad anti feminists to turn it into an infantile boys vs girls story (like that one anti feminist writer, I can't remember who, but he rewrote Wonder Woman's amazons into psycho lesbians who capture and rape men to reproduce!)

The 2017 movie is still the best version of the character as it skirts over cringey war of the sexes and just gives us a good, three dimensional hero we can all root for.
