But the lines ...You're confused by many things. But the lines "On my planet, females bow before males" "This is not your planet" isn't about putting down men. It's about putting down male dominance. Literally. She doesn't say, "Well on this planet, men bow to women." This is still a world in which there is a Superman who is a hero. There's no inference about denigrated men or even male power, just about taking down female subservience.<br /><br />And when people bow to queens, they're bowing to the position, not the gender of the position and the British crown has been held more frequently by men than women, so that's meaningless.<br /><br />And men should sink on ships for women? Good God, man. Is there a rash of this that I haven't heard about?<br /><br />There are dozens of male-driven superhero projects out there on the big and small screen. Watch those. Don't freak out about the ONE that isn't that.<br /><br />Also:<br />https://screen.yahoo.com/leslie-knope-takes-mens-rights-132923802.html<br /><br />-DanielDaniel Fienberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875425500395284200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10794229.post-90763972550151652922015-10-23T09:44:16.966-07:002015-10-23T09:44:16.966-07:00Obvious this show wants to alienate male viewers w...Obvious this show wants to alienate male viewers with it's male-hating scenes like you wrote "On my planet, females bow before males" and she replies "This is not your planet," it's both a girl power call to arms,"..but i guess who ever wrote this drivel was OK when men would bow to Queens or the fact society says men should hold open the door for women, to sink on a ship for women..you know the whole "Ladies First"..anyway why can't women make a show that isn't about putting down men..i haven't seen a female based show that is not about feminism.MRAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10794229.post-46515086691920719702015-08-10T09:45:26.982-07:002015-08-10T09:45:26.982-07:00There are Supergirl comics and then there are Supe...There are Supergirl comics and then there are Supergirl comics. The pre-Crisis version is what this show seems to be based off. Supergirl is Superman's cousin and many of her adventures involve her having a crush on every one (including her horse...not joking) and basically being Superman Lite (for girls). <br /><br />The post-crisis version involved Supergirl being "...a protoplasmic blob from a “pocket universe” ". Needless to say this isn't exactly a friendly storyline for new readers (or old readers because the Pocket Universe never actually existed). <br /><br />After the Infinite Crisis, Kara comes back as Superman's cousin, kinda and it's complicated, and ends up having wacky cosmic adventures.<br /><br />So, yes there are Supergirl comics. I doubt that the show will be relying on any of them. And I doubt anyone who likes the show would want to read them.Mark Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12487092102886285241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10794229.post-21292987188735249092015-07-16T18:29:13.725-07:002015-07-16T18:29:13.725-07:00This one duplicated, but I deleted the extra!

But when Superman is discussed in "Supergirl," I don't think we're supposed to expect that if he DOES show up that he'll be Henry Cavill. <br /><br />-DanielDaniel Fienberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875425500395284200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10794229.post-35266334577836999032015-07-10T06:19:08.880-07:002015-07-10T06:19:08.880-07:00Dan-

You're the best resource not only for news/analysis and reviews but also for jokes about Emily's Reason's Why Not and Deadline's hard-on for Breaking In. Always get a laugh from me. <br /><br />Second, I think you're right about the music choices being better in the pilot than the trailer, but "Bad Mamajama" got an eyeroll from me. Hope they swap that out for something a little less on-the-nose. Otherwise I think you're spot-on here.Markhttps://twitter.com/MarkGrinoldsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10794229.post-38833122497340991072015-07-09T15:31:45.747-07:002015-07-09T15:31:45.747-07:00Glad to be keeping the tradition going!
