I dug it, although you could definitely tell there were a few moments where some pieces were missing or re-arranged. Those other two Leviathan members just kinda showing up was a little weird, but they looked pretty freaking cool in action. Waiting til January to find out if Brainy makes it, though, that's gonna be rough. I'm also entirely onboard with Lex being able to outsmart everyone, that's kind of his thing and I much prefer this kind of Lex to a Lex in a battlesuit that's reduced to just another person that the Supers need to punch to overcome. Obviously he's going to screw up at some point, probably through his own greed or vanity, and it's gonna be great.

The CW shows should switch to animation until the pandemic is over. Everyone can literally phone in their roles!

Bruceski posted:Yeah, I'd have preferred if he underestimated Brainy's willingness to sacrifice himself but since he'd considered that as an option (before discarding) he know how to use it. "Oh well, plan B then" instead of his plan all along. Like you said, it's getting a bit too Diaz. I've been assuming at least some of the 'yes of course this is what I calculated all along' is a bullshit pose anyway. We saw him absolutely lose his poo poo at first, and then reassemble the act, presumably as he figured out how to make it work from there.

Xelkelvos posted:Well they already squandered Leviathan which was the last event org that Lois and Clark ended up tangling with. With Metropolis, I assume it's Intergang. They could also bring back some Supergirl characters/enemies like Morgan Edge or Snapper Carr. Maybe reintroduce Zod. For ones not seen yet, maybe The Prankster or Ultra-Humanite or The Eradicator. The premise for Superman & Lois is that they're moving back to Smallville and that Lana Lang and General Lane (who IIRC they recast from s1 of Supergirl) are the supporting cast.

Just caught up. Finale was alright. Rushed but you know. Pandemic. I was never that into Leviathon as villains so you know... but it ended with a couple of big fights and a Supergirl pep talk so that's a finale. Lex was the MVP of the season. Cryer is amazing as Lex and when he lost his cool on Lena it was breath taking. I hope he just ends up pulling double duty on bother Super shows and being everywhere. Hell, let him go gently caress with Barry and Jefferson. Lex for next season's crossover. Alex's costume sucked but they have a break to fix that. I wonder if the production shutdowns affected it or if it was just a bad design. But here's to it getting fixed.

While its kind of ugly I'm not bothered that her first instinct instead of "mask" was "eye shadow and a hood" considering Oliver Queen wrote the book in vigilantism in this world. She's in her Hood stage.

ShakeZula posted:But I mean, Dreamer is right there with the domino mask. And Guardian had a whole drat helmet. Look, I may be entirely joking but I also may be arguing that it makes complete sense for Alex to turn to the example of the world's most famous unpowered human vigilante as a role model to counter her inferiority complex of being surrounded by super powered alien gods. I'm not sure which one is true. She does have a lot of emotional trauma. James was more comfortable due to his years of time as Superman's sidekick? Also Winn was desperate to design stuff? Also he looks like he probably played football so maybe he's more conscious of CTE effects and the need for proper head protection?

I honestly do kind of love the notion that Alex's experiences with both Kara and Clark have taught her that people only recognize other people based off of their hair and eyes. Thus, any outfit that alters or obscures those elements is a sufficient disguise.

Some people misunderstand Lex Luthor. It isn't that he knows how everything will turn out and is prepared. It's that he doesn't know how everything will turn out but he is prepared to take advantage of any eventuality. He has plans about plans about plans about plans. Whatever the future holds, he's ready because he already thought of that, no matter how things actually turn out. And even if he hasn't thought of that, he's smart enough to think about it on the fly and still win. He always wins and he knows he will always win. What he does not know, is exactly how he will win. His mom is right though: his hatred of aliens will be his downfall. His downfall will be his own hubris, not anything done to him, but what he does to himself. He created an Earth where he was a hero and a beloved public figure, but it wasn't good enough because Kara was still flying around being friends with his sister and that couldn't be allowed to stand. He is his own worst enemy.

Kind of lame that they went with "Supergirl has a one to one with half of the world and convinces every single one of them to leave at the same instance with just a few words" solution. "I beleive in you /puke" worked instead of "get the gently caress out or you will die" The 3 eternals also sucked. Stand in a line and spam the same 3 spells over and over.

Yeah he absorbed all the other Brainiacs into his "core" or "hive consciousness" or "hard drive" or something. So she wasn't actually physically there. If he was a normal person it would have been a "ghost" or "hallucination" or something but he's a cyborg alien something so she was actually in there somewhere.

Supergirl giving an inspirational speech to 2 billion people to convince them to log off is obviously a silly as gently caress season resolution, but its also 100% thematically fitting for Supergirl after 5 seasons. You just gotta roll with it at this stage and laugh.

The only way it could get any more Supergirl is if there was like a stubborn 5% of them who refused to log off purely because a girl told them to so they "owned the libs" by willfully ceasing to exist. And the show finds a blunt as gently caress way to all but tell you "These people were Trump supporters."

It's pretty clear though that the final boss fight and resolution felt anti climactic because Leviathan wasn't meant to be the actual Big Bad of the season; Lex was; and we missed that final arc where he would have been defeated in whatever nefarious scheme he had going.

It is hard to know exactly what originally was supposed to happen because it sounds like this episode was a mix of the original episode 19 with some chunks of the finale kind of shoved in there.

The politics of this show are always very well intentioned but yeah the execution has been all over the place. The season 2 final arc with the whole "resist" theme with people taking to the streets to fight was probably the first sign that they don't exactly handle it very well.

Supergirl has basically had a history of being both ham handed in addressing social issues, but also pulling their punches. I expect this coming season might try and address injustices by law enforcement since that's the current issue atm, but who knows.
