Supergirl TV show

[Foxtrot94]

why would it be taken less serious than for example video games, which for longest time were stuff for kids and losers living in their parents' basement?

Don't ask me, ask someone who actually considers videogames that way.
Also I guess because this looks way less "gritty" than say, Buffy, since you mentioned it. And the other shows you mentioned (didn't watch Angel though) were cheesy yes, but not as cheesy as this looks.

@KRSkull I stopped watching Arrow at season 2,and they already set up Flash there. Is there any episode where they even remotely setup Supergirl in later seasons? Or in Flash?

You're missing out. Season 2 of Arrow was even better than the first and Flash is just fantastic. Even better than Arrow to be honest.

And just because it actually seems more lighthearted in tone and has a sense of humor, it doesn't mean its childish. Are you wanting everything to be like Nolan's Batman? Because that's why DC's movies are going down the drain. F#ck Man of Steel. And Buffy can indeed be cheesy if you watched it.

No that's not why. The reason is the writing, not the tone.

But it's not the lightheart tone, in fact I enjoy Marvel movies for example. A lot. It's just that I don't find this just lighthearted, I find it lighthearted in a ridiculous way, especially the first part of the trailer. Granted, it may very well be that the silly parts are only, or for the most part, concentrated in the first episodes, or in the first part of the first episode of the show, because admittedly the second part of the trailer ain't that bad, so I think that might be the case.

For now I can only base my judgment on the trailer, and I'm lolling at it. Aside from the tone, the CGI looks very off and the costume to me looks an Amazing Spiderman spandex wannabe on the chest, and a cheerleader outfit when it comes to the skirt. Looks very cheap and more of a Supergirl cosplay. Although it may be because of the budget, I'll give it that, maybe it doesn't have a lot of budget.

I don't know i haven't watch Arrow or flash. But she did appear in smallville where both Arrow and Flash made an appearance in before they got their own show.

Yeah I know i watched Smallville till season 7. But that's a different continuity isn't it?

Yea, Smallville has nothing to do with these shows.

@Foxtrot94 @Chancey289 Well it does in a way but that is for another subject.

So if this was too dark and serious like the punisher. People will love it and think that its not stupid.

Why? This thread is about Supergirl after all, so in which way is Smallville related to this show?

???

So, it's being pointed out that Supergirl might be related to the Arrow/Flash TV universe, I ask if there is any episode in those shows where that's been hinted, you respond by saying that you don't know but she appears in Smallville, which I've always thought it was a different universe altogether, Chancey confirms that by saying Smallville has nothing to to with these shows, you respond again tagging both Chancey and me saying that "it does in a way" but when I ask you in which way, you post a facepalm... ?

 

[Innsmouth]

Looks like Smallvile 2.0. So nope. Not my cup of tea

 

[Bazilican]

Looks alright. Kinda what I expect from a Supergirl tv show.
So for DC shows we got

Arrow
Flash
Gotham
Supergirl
Lucifer
Titans
Preacher
Izombie

Good to see most of the DC comic shows are doing so well.

Welcome back friend.

 

[Innsmouth]

Can't win them all, though I would prefer if Arrow hit the fan instead of Constantine

 

[EA9Sol]

I hope Supergirl does well so I can get mt Wonder Women show. +_+ Need my super hero lady shows! And I need it now!

 

[AgentRedgrave]

So it's a more or less basically Smallville, for Supergirl? *Shrugs* Okay, it did manage to make me chuckle


@DragonMaster2010 Welcome back dude.

 

[Chancey289]

Or maybe they guy was cast as Jimmy because he auditioned and they liked him. For **** sake. I don't see any issue with Jimmy Olsen being black. His ethnicity didn't make his character. It's just Jimmy.

 

[Bazilican]

Because EVERYTHING has to be "by the comic" or some nerd ****** like that -_-
