Supergirl is a new American TV show that premiered this year (2015) on CBS. I myself am a huge Super heroes girl and I loved all the former TV series involving Superman. It all started with The New Adventures of Lois and Clark in the new adventures of Superman. To this day whenever I see Dean Cain, I still see him as Superman. Which was weird because I saw a movie when he was the bad guy and it just didn't sit well with me. Dean Cain made an appearance in this new Supergirl tv show as Kara's adoptive father.As I grew up, I watched the Justice League, this is where I learned all about the other superheroes and chose my favorites. Besides the original seven, my favorites were the Green Arrow, Black Canary and Supergirl. But then the CW's tv show Smallville started and I have all the seasons. The best seasons in my opinion are when the other members of the Justice League appeared for the first time and yes, even Kara joined briefly in season seven. Kara is Smallville played by Laura Vanderwoort. She did was the first Kara Kent I saw but honestly this new Tv show and their portrayal of Kara is WAY BETTER! So since Smallville ended in 2011.
I have been on a Super Hero Binge since I came back this summer. Another CW show the Arrow. Oliver Queen was stranded on an island for five years and returns to Starling City to protect the city. The Arrow is a great show and I would totally recommend it to anyone who likes Hero Programs. It is a little dark, darker than Smallville but not as dark as Gotham ( that show is messed up).
But the real target of this Ramble is Supergirl.That's why I was really excited when I heard about CBS's new spin with Supergirl.I have watched every episode since the beginning and here are my thoughts.
~ Melissa Benoist is such a good fit for Supergirl. She is an amazing actress and I think her portrayal of Kara is Super- fantastic! ~ Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen is super good looking
~ The under-rated character I think and I would love to see more of in season 2 is Winn. He is a true friend to Kara and I think he really does care for her. Even though I love the pairing of James Olsen and Kara, I am the kind of person who always right to root for the underdog. WINN!!!
Although it has been stated that Superman will not be featured in his show, his support helps shape Kara.Kara maybe sees Clark as a role model, even through she is the older cousin. Clark came out as Superman before she became Supergirl. Kara not only is a great hero, she is a great role model for girls everywhere. I, myself have been waiting for a woman super hero. With all the movies and tv shows I thought I would see Wonder Woman, Batgirl or Supergirl by now, Young girls, teenagers and even me, (a 26 year old woman) need to see a strong, kind, caring, kick ass, awesome super hero. I am excited to see what is to come of this new show!
