I wish they would do away with female versions of already established male characters. How about a new original female character? Same goes for changing spiderman or whoever into a gay or other race. Make a new original cool character.

It's always been funny how these organizations make these spinoff characters in the hopes of banging the drum for diversity even though they will always stand in the shadow of their original counterparts.

Captain America is Captain America. Thor is Thor. Etc etc. Some replacement or whatever is never going to be seen as that hero. There are however, many great minority heroes that these companies haven't shown much interest in building up instead choosing to try and take the shortcut and stick them in a popular costume.

If they really cared about diversity, they'd be willing to take a financial risk and develop and grow lesser known characters rather than trying to cheat and profit off of a known brand.

As for this show, it looks reeeeally goofy rom-com. Which is a shame, because Supergirl does deserve better.

Thanks, exactly what i was trying to say as well. Not only should they use lesser known characters more, but why not just a brand new idea if you want a hero to be gay or different race than white.  I didn't mean to derail the thread and my intention wasn't about supergirl. Even though it would be nice if the comics, cartoons, etc she wore something else besides a suit that is just a female version of the male counterpart.  Movies, video games, tv, etc also don't go out of their way and take financial risks like they used to. Real shame too. Bet there are alot of great ideas that get left on a cutting room floor because some guy on top looks at is as not being profitable.

 

Id like to see lesser heroes get movies, but seeing as how hollywood can even mess up well known ones i don't know. I still think cyborg could be a great movie. All the time of talking about making a sequel to robocop after the 3rd one came out and that character is just sitting there. If your not batman or spiderman, i guess your irrelevant?  Eventually got the remake of robocop but still. Hell could have done other individual movies with robin, starfire, and beastboy to set up a teen titans movie.

You know Thor is he who holds the hammer right? And now that's Jane Foster. She has breast cancer

Yes I'm aware it's Jane. No, Thor isn't a title, it's a name. Which is why the series has received so much criticism as is.

    • Exactly He's played two seasons and started 28 games. He's well beyond the point of being able to point to 2 or 3 games and being able to say, "THAT is the QB he is and will be in the future" Of course he can get there, but anyone trying to use just those couple of games to rank his place amongst the games QB's today and their full career's worth of playing at that level, is just asinine. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Hurts, Herbert, Daniels, Stafford, Goff, Geno, Purdy, Baker, Love, Dak, Tua, Kyler, Lawrence That's 17 QB's right there that have played better over their careers than Bryce has played at his best.  And I'm not saying they're all studs or guys I'd want to be our QB moving forward, Tua for example I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but his body of work is a million times better than Bryce's has been. It's also not including any of the other QB's drafted in 2023/2024 other than Daniels. So again, say you believe in Bryce, say you think he's going to prove he can and should be our QB of the future, that's all fair and totally fine. But nobody can say he's been an above average QB in his career thus far, it's just an asinine notion.
