This is my biggest problem. She's goddamn Supergirl, why the hell are you telling her not to use her powers when Superman is RIGHT loving THERE doing the same thing?

"She doesn't have training!" Oh man, too bad, I guess she can never help anyone unless there's literally somebody with her exact same power set who's her cousin flying around, or a sister who's in the goddamn superhuman spy agency. Hell, drop her off with Wonder Woman if you want.

And the dude in charge of the agency has to be the biggest moron of them all. I mean seriously, how goddamn obtuse do you have to be when a goddamn Kryptonian walks up to you and says "I want to help people!" to think that it's going to be more of a hindrance than a help? And then after all this bullshit, you let her go free when you know there are people who want to kill her with full knowledge of her powers and the ability to communicate with her!

This felt so terrible compared to how refreshing the Flash pilot was, Flash literally just up and says he wants to help people, the team gets behind him and he gets to goddamn work, with the only reluctant guy being the villain.

I am apparently way more upset with this than I realised.

Quit getting mad about superhero shows?

Again the agency=X-com which means there always incompetent.

I wrote that, then realised it had come off way more angry than I'd intended. I'll let it stand though because it's largely true.

This was much worse than the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D pilot and given this is the first big comic book show headlined by a woman, it's a bit of a disappointment that that's the case. Chances are I won't watch when it comes out, but occasionally pop into the thread to see if people are enjoying it.
