    I watched the pilot and it was terrible, so cliched and obviously trying to cash in on the feminism movement with the huge focus on "Whats wrong with being a girl?" with her boss. The lines were some of the cheesiest things I've heard in any show in the past few years. I literally thought of the most cliched thing they could say and 80% of the time it was line for line. If you want a good superhero series go with CW or Netflix xD

    I haven't watched tv since 2010, (And only watch a movie about once a year since then)
    I suppose this means I fall under the "I don't watch super heroes series" category

    PS: I do watch anime though

    I do not watch super heroes series is what I voted. the reason being is the acting is sooooo awkward and cheesy in almost all of them. It is not as cheesy as a sitcom like 2 broke girls but still cheesy. Like when you guys watch any superhero show whether its on CW chanel(biggest offender on chessy lines) or on CBS take a second to listen to how they talk. It just makes me cringe sometimes.

    Edit: Token black actors are so random sometimes but thinking back to when these comics first started I can see why they want to include more diversity in the ethnic backgrounds of the characters. I do not mean to sound racist though but when these token actors that swap the race of the original character sometimes start to act completely different from their character in the comic though it kills the character imo.

    If a character is a normal acting person in the comic he should not suddenly become gangster with swagger just because the director decided a token was the way to go. I am not saying it happens in supergirl or any other show. It just worries me how these directors want to drastically change a character to fit the mainstream instead of following the original story.

    This is a major issue you see with Light novels going to Manga they cut out or change so much content to just try and focus on ecchi moments or action instead of story. A example would be Long Live Summons manhua. One character is just completely different it kills a small part of the humor the story had originally.

    Obviously I have a mixed opinion about this series. Sincerely I think that the actress is cute and adorable. But she's no supergirl material. I like the story but the plot seems so generic. I watch it for the fun of it, I have the same opinion for Arrow and the flash by the way. Those are made for entertainment nothing more.

    Supergirl is actually supposed to be so OP. Like... stronger than Superman, and she's meant to be super agro and direct and strong headed. I know it's a different plot and everything but it's too much of a difference! Also it's super cringy and capes effecting stability is bs.

    Supergirl is hard to do. To balance her real origins and characterization with modern values is basically impossible. Add on to that that there have been no less than 3 different versions of supergirl and you get a mess.

    As a social media vehicle I feel like Wonder Woman would have been a better choice, because even if you threw in female power and stuff, that is completely in line with her character. In Supergirl you are going to divide audiences and make at least part of the audience dismiss the show as a pro-feminism propaganda piece. I honestly don't mind if people want to make those, as long as they keep their damn dirty hands away from the things I like. Everything I don't care about is fair game, but don't **** with my ****. Also I have only seen the first episode, so I don't actually know if Supergirl is one, my point is simply if they were going to make one Wonder Woman would have made more sense.

    I dont watch super heroes series. Or rather, I haven't been watching tv for 5-6 years. To begin with, super heroes series are one of the things I avoid the most. Though I still held a bit of interest in some of them some time ago but those were something like Iron Man or Batman and not this king of f****** ******** ...

    As @Xeanx13 said, I also feel that the acting is awkward but most times it's just plain stupid and it feels like it was made for kindergartners or worse, not to even mention how dense the characters can seem to be at times. Moreover, the costumes and the effects are usually quite retarded in most of these series.

    Supergirl's body conduct more easily and effectively solar radiation from the yellow sun. She is potentially stronger than superman, normally she's 18 or 19 in the different versions of DC COMICS. She has killed some E.T. compared to superman who is the champions of the non killing thing sometimes... and has less ethics than him and well has more issues. This version of Kara Zor'El is made for teens, excuse me. She has limited powers, don't have a clue about her own feelings that she should have sorted since she's an adult now. They should have done a powergirl instead of this one... with a busty blonde that should have made a good show. Like I said I watch it for the fun of it, it's like watching a what if story.

    haven't watched it yet...if it's anything like The Flash, then I probably won't watch it...maybe put it off and see if it improves. I preferred the Arrow (slightly less cheesy, not as toned down for teens). I'm not too into characters that are unsure of themselves, especially when she's supposed to be much more...aggro in the comics.

    Ian McKellen is gay and played both Magneto and Gandalf but not Dumbledore.

    Eric Leincher is Magnetos human name. He has been portrayed on screen by Ian McKellen and Micheal Fassbender,
