There were a lot of things to love about the recent DCTV Crossover event Crisis on Earth-X (Crisis hereafter). Things like gays, lesbians, and bisexuals kicking ass and taking names.…
Whether it’s a well thought out, well-written relationship or a particularly rich headcanon, ships, to me, are like finding cinnamon in my chocolate chip cookie. An unexpected delight that I’m…
Feeling the loss of Supergirl yet this summer? Don’t know what to watch (other than Wynonna Earp, of course)? Need a little pick me up? If any or all of…
A week of Supergirl! I’m in heaven. Not only did Supergirl return on the CW this week, issue three of DC’s four issue miniseries Supergirl: Being Super dropped on Wednesday.…
We all have favorite shows here on The Fandomentals, some we love to love and some we love to hate. It’s no real secret that two of my love to…
With all that’s been happening on Supergirl recently, small scenarios and interactions can quickly get lost in the shuffle. The dominance of one particular character especially has taken focus away from minor characters. One such character I think has gotten overlooked is Winn’s new girlfriend, Lyra Strayd. And that’s who I want to talk about, because I (and one of my friends) get some fascinating subtext from her character that no one else is talking about.
I love these two as a couple just for this joke. But also, they're adorable.[/caption]
All that’s pretty clear just from her on screen presence.
DCTV might be in full swing, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a break from grown-up Kara Danvers to dive back into teen Kara Danvers with Supergirl: Being Super…
After talking with Kylie, one of my fellow editors over at The Fandomentals, it seems more and more clear that Mon El takes after Mako from Legend of Korra, especially after the so-called 'bickering' we saw between Mon El and Kara on last night's episode. She's covered Mako's castration anxiety pretty well on her blog (go read the post, it's an excellent analysis), so I'll mostly just be drawing parallels.
What 'honor' of hers was in need of protecting?[/caption]
Last night was just more of the same. Mon El believes Kara is in need of his protection and guidance. She doesn't know what's good for her. He knows best how to take out Mr. Mxyzptlk (or, Mxy) and when Kara gives him a direct order to let her handle it, Mon El ignores it (much like he did in "We Can Be Heroes"). Just about all of his attempts to protect her end in utter failure. The times Mon El does succeed in being a useful partner are when he's just that, a partner. Not a protector. When he fights with her, and follows her directions, they can do teamwork well.
