SleepDeprived May 13, 2015 Share May 13, 2015 Just watched the Supergirl trailer. Is it only me or did it cross anyone else's mind that it seems they're modelling Kara after a younger version of Felicity, at least a little? Hah! My sister actually texted to ask if I've seen the new trailer for Supergirl. She's a casual viewer of Arrow and thought I would probably like this since Kara reminds her a lot of Felicity. I'm in, though. It looks fun! And I like the supporting cast--Calista, Chyler, Mehcad (who, I demand, must be required to provide the gratuitous shirtless scenes here and there, yes?). Too bad that they scheduled it at the same time as Gotham, though. Not that Gotham is must-see tv but I would've thought DC would try to get the networks to avoid audience conflicts as much as they can to maximize the reach of all their properties on the television landscape. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6472-mind-your-surroundings-arrow-the-flash-supergirl-legends-of-tomorrow-and-other-superhero-universes/page/46/#findComment-1143019

cambridgeguy May 13, 2015 Share May 13, 2015 (edited) This only fits into the current continuity and not an alternate reality if it takes place a few years into the future. Superman is the Big Good of the DCU - there's no way Barry would NOT seek him out for a chat if he existed. Speaking of Superman, if you look at one of the frames around :27 when her ship crashes there's a shot of what looks like Supes holding little Kara's hand. Maybe he's the one who decides that Dean Cain and Helen Slater would make good adoptive parents.

BkWurm1 May 13, 2015 Share May 13, 2015 Also, is SO REFRESHING that all important characters know Kara's secret. I'm just sick of this lying stuff. It's the same as on Flash, quickly setting up the support team around them. Berlanti (sp?) and Co HATE the secret keeping part and I for one am thrilled with anything that keeps the term "secrets and lies" from being uttered. I see the Felicity S1 in the work wardrobe (S1 Felicity) and the babbling (when she meet James). As the trailer progresses tho, it gets away from comparisons. Yes and no. Personality wise I think she'll become her own person pretty quickly but that final scene with her and James on top of the tower, I actually for a second thought it was Felicity. At the very least their wardrobe continues to look very similar. I wonder if that means they will change Felicity's style. Maybe more suit like. Hope not too much of a change though. I'm in, though. It looks fun! It really does. It also looks like if done right could be something positive for younger girls to see. First featured female superhero on any screen since Lynda Carter.

As for this show? Well let's see... Arrow is crap now, The Flash hasn't ever been much good, DC's movies all stink so... I doubt this will be any better.

We haven't seen anything from Thea yet, but that could be really interesting as she's become a hero to see it begin to influence her. Same goes for Sara on this new show.
