why do they have kryptonite in her cell? its known to be toxic and could possibly kill her. a red sun radiation generator would do the same thing and would be far less harmful to her... Oh yeah, these writers probably dont know jack shit about Superman and think "KRYPTONITE" is the answer to all problems.
@@dodojesus4529 Carrying it around at all times and experimenting on large quantities of it. It was treated as radioactive substances should be treated, it just happened to be specifically harmful to Superman.
1:04 Sure, the bad guys are wearing kryptonite-proof suits...but their hands and faces are uncovered, rendering the suits POINTLESS. Superman: The Animated Series got this right; in several episodes, Clark wears a full-body suit (including helmet and gloves). This is mainly used to protect against space (he didn't know he was immune at that point), but he did use a suit to protect against kryptonite in that Superman/Batman crossover special. Joker did proceed to melt the suit using some acid though, but that proves the S:TAS writers knew more than the Supergirl writers!
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 The same reason why when people say dollars you assume American rather than Canadian dollars. Because why the hell would we be talking about that.
Great idea, lock a Kryptonian in a cell where they're being bathed by radiation that poisons them, slowly killing them and causes them a great deal of pain.
@@thefurrybastard1964 To be fair, I only watch it to laugh at it. I've audibly said "That looks terrible" or "Oh, fuck you show" several dozens times. I also nearly lost my mind the Martian Manhunter's father SHAPESHIFTED INTO THE EARTH in season three.
There are many confusing things about this show. Firstly, has no one told them about red solar radiation. Kryptonite is toxic to Kryptonians at any level of exposure. Red solar radiation also nullifies Kryptonian powers without poisoning them. This would be sort of like a human spending any amount of time in a room that has a bunch of radium on the walls or spending too much time in a tanning booth. The low levels of radiation exposure would not be immediately fatal, but it's still unhealthy. Why does Astra's group even need to be evil? Earth's problem is fossil fuels. She has super advanced alien power sources and people who understand the technology. Why does she even need to break in to Lord technologies? She could have simply approached him directly and offered him a small taste of the Tech she brought with her. They have the means to solve basically every problem on Earth without conquering it. This is yet another story line of aliens criticizing humans for our wasteful practices, but never offering to help. A booming interplanetary technologies exchange could create tens of a millions of jobs and solve everything. Why did that guy hack into Kat Grant's personal information from his office computer? He could have done that from an outside server and not been caught. Why isn't supergirl's heat vision red? This show doesn't make any sense.
what you did right now , writing that , its called using logic and common sense. Convincing people to do something if money is involved is easy , these bozos don't get this simple thing.
@@singhatishkumar true. Mutual benefit doesn't matter to lefties. They need people to think like them. I should have known better. After all I've been compared to Hitler because I said the people should stop focusing on race and just be Americans.
@@UncleMikeDropThey equate mutual benefit to greed and so on. Their mental gymnastics has gotten beyond insanity and whenever they get proven wrong they just double down on that stupidity. The crazy train has no brakes
@@singhatishkumar yep. In the words of Ozzy Osbourne: "Maybe it's not too late to learn how to love and forget how to HA-E-A-E-ATE". I have to believe that, but it often seems futile.
Yea, that would do it. I mean, in an animated movie Supes was LITERALLY power drained when captured by Brainiac because of a nearby red sun. And that's the comic reason for why the Kryptonians all died, because the planet was orbiting a red sun and as such none of them would've been able to do the crazy shit that Supes could've done.
I like how you give credit where credit is due instead of just shitting on the show from start to finish. Gives much more credibility to your criticism of it.
Can somebody tell the writers about red sun rays? don’t even know how to use kryptonite right... you can’t build a tolerance against it by training and if your put in a cell made from it... it’s gonna kill her... it’s like radiation to them.
Are feminists/SJW actively trying to destroy any chance that female Supers have of being decent heroes? Because if a show that is based around them is shit, that's exactly what's going to happen. This seems counter-productive to their repeated statements of trying to portray a "strong", dependable, creative, compassionate, (and hopefully mentally stable) woman that younger girls could aspire to be. She's so all-over-the-place that it's like has multiple personality disorder, with a dash of insanity for flavoring, and that is just the Main Role. The rest of the show's characters......well, you say it better than I do.
I stopped watching after the "gun control" episode. I put up with it until then because I wanted to see where they went with Martian Manhunter. But I couldn't stomach them jamming their political views down my throat any longer.
Why was this your last Supergirl review? I really enjoyed them since finding your channel a few days ago. There was so much more cringe to be talked about in the upcoming episodes since this. The fight with emasculated Superman, the Mon-El shipping, the whole lesbian arc and how difficult it is coming out in 2018, the whole Jimmy Olsen growing up in a racist Metropolis that hates black kids, the crossovers with the other CW shows, the Dominators, the Nazis, the Crisis...
Cat figuring out Kara's identity reminded me of an old SNL bit where Dwayne Johnson was playing Clark Kent/Superman. The sketch involved Perry White, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen making fun of Clark and how he tries to make excuses so he can change into Superman.
there was a tiny, oh so minuscule flash of hope in season 4 episode 8 that the SJW madness flooding the show, and Hollywood, might someday come to an end.
The Flash is honestly one of the worst shows on television and has been for years. I could roast the living hell out of it, but I feel like I need to get monetized before I can subject myself to that again. That said, I think I have to start diversifying and covering other shows to get this channel growing faster, so we'll see.
I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough about Star Trek to do STD justice. And TBH, when I started doing this, I had it in mind to stay away from Trek because SFDebris has kind of cornered the market on reviewing Trek in this format. That doesn't mean I'll never do it, but the bar has been set pretty high, so I'm kind of reluctant to try. The Orville is tricky because I don't really have any strong feelings about it, so I'm not sure I'd have much to say. Farscape and Stargate are possibilities, but if I were going to review a Stargate show, it would be Stargate Universe.
I thought The Flash season 1 was incredibly overrated. The season 1 finale is one of the most insultingly bad hours of television I've ever seen. Season 2 was no better.
Well, if you're wanting to rip apart cringe I'd suggest the BBC's Atlantis or Merlin. Merlin's kinda okay for a modern adaptation of conflicting myths. But Atlantis is absolute trash. It makes Supergirl look good in comparison... and I wish I was making that up. If you're wanting something good to review though, perhaps The Good Doctor? Or any of the classically animated superhero serials. (You know since there has to be a distinction from more modern ones.) Spectacular Spiderman was also excellent for a kid's show. It's an actual shame it was canceled. Although, if you're looking for something particularly bad, you could try the Adam West's Batman series. or... the black and white Batman that came before it O.O those were /really/ bad... But, in fairness, TV was still playing the Lone Ranger as if it was new back then.
Can i just ask this: Supergirls enemy is her aunt right? Which means she is a kryptonian too right? Which means holding onto an object like, let's say a knife, that's made purely out of green kryptonite, which weakens Kara by just seeing it's there... wouldn't that pretty much kill her Aunt wielding it too?
@@EskChan19 Yeah, I don't know why they didn't do that. Especially after she throws a hissy fit at Lena for [entirely reasonably] making kyrptonite. If I were a superhero, I'd want my closest friends to have access to my weakness to keep be from becoming a cunt. Now granted, that is rooted in deep Christian morality and an awareness of my shortcomings which Kara doesn't seem to have so maybe she doesn't feel the same way but come on, humans can be killed by everything [including kyrptonite] and you're going to get angry that someone you trust knows how to make the only thing in the world that can reliably hurt you when the world is being attacked by several powerful Kyrptonians? My mate in real life owns ninja weapons and knows how to use them and is a black belt, I don't get pissed off that he could potentially kill me if he wanted to because why the fuck would he?
Once again another good video. I love you calling these people out on their nonsense. .... Honestly I can't believe guys like you, and dare I say it me, who have the ability to actually right coherent and compelling stories are the ones not being hired to write these iconic stories. .....

"She's stronger than we thought". She fell off the roof. So do I die now or later? I donated my body to science so if my brain can be used to make someone intelligent, I guess I can oblige.
I'll just point out that, bad as supergirl is, it's one of the best shows available to us neanderthal non-americans here in norway. so there's that. when is Netflix going to make their library universal again?
There are ways to change your apparent location, like using a VPN, so you can view the netflix catalog from other countries. It can take a little effort on your part sometimes, because netflix actively works to stop those methods, but new ones are always popping up.
Man that must suck, sorry you have to deal with this travesty. Like Jakk Frost said, just use a VPN, I'm sure you can find some free one's out there, though they might have some limitations so there is that...
Stan Lees death is the only real emotional reaction I have afher seeing this video. Cat Grant sucks. No wonder she is gone after the first season. Astra should have killed Supergirl, that would have safed all the viewers some trouble.
In addition to that Man of Steel shot the episode used the tired trope of the supervillain allowing him or herself being captured. A trope starting from The Dark Knight, repeated in The Avengers and Skyfall to name a few movies. Great review by the way. Hope you continue the series, as painfully bad as it is.
Thank you for making this. I wanted to see the best Supergirl had to offer and you made a compilation. Superman and Lois is the only Superman show (including Smallville) that I wanna watch because it breaks the villain of the week formula with random non -Superman related made up villains. Idk if Supergirl does that but the sheer number of episodes discourages me.
Respect to the intelligence of Lena Luthor. As if the same person could just spend time with her in two different outfits without her figuring out it's the same person like Cat Grant did. Lena is just so smart that even if it were a good disguise, she would still see straight through it anyway and figure out almost immediately that Kara was Supergirl... except that... I mean with the.... the.... wait, I just need to think about this for a while longer...
Maybe you didn't notice, or maybe I'm misremembering, but Astra's husband was named Zod. Meaning they took one of Superman's biggest main villain's away, and made him a "bad guy villain" who plays second fiddle to Astra's "good guy villain".
@@justsomerandomguyonline974 ~ Oh that's right! Then yeah, I was misremembering, sort of. I got them mixed up from the 2 male Kryptonians in 'Superman 2'.
Pretty much all women (and most men) on TV shows look like models, unless they're older actors playing "character roles". It's not particular to SF shows.
Re-using Man of Steel mocap assets actually makes sense, because a network tv show doesn't have the money to recreate everything from scratch. Especially in the inaugural season when they don't know how much money the show will actually generate for them. That being said however, everything is pretty much on point.
If that's the worst dirt an email hack found that companies stock would fucking sky rocket. Imagine the worst thing a fucking CEO did was like shopping and asked out a celebrity.
rewriting this show will require changing the very core, this is why I would prefer to just write Barry going to another fictional universe (not from DC) and the Superman of that series will be Kal-El who grew up on Mars
If I controlled arrow verse I would make flash way faster give supergirl a buff and fix the show and removing batwoman add kid flash back to legends of tomorrow
@@azerisda1533 I actually think the Arrowverse does not know how to handle Barry being fast, this is why in the second episode of my series I made it so he never surpassed the speed of m4. as for Kara I have plans for her. and Wally is going to be the flash for a whole season because Barry will have a reason not to be there as the flash but I will not say why.
Newscaster and journalists would have been all over that illigitimate child thing. People like that go out of their way to make everything sound terrible.
Duckynono1234 He won’t. Because he has a penis. And guess what, Liberty is very much like Season 1 Oliver, but he’s clearly less trustworthy than a alien superhero who hides her identity...
The only bug I want to see on this show is one about the size of a skyscraper with a million legs and 4 rows of razor-sharp teeth. No, I'm not talking about the giant worms of Palpitations. Maybe then this show will be interesting... though given the track record, I'm sure Supergirl would just Feminize it to death.
Remember that scene in superman 3 when superman is given a kryptonite rock, in which the unknown component is missing and replaced by tar, that make him evil. Well they did the same thing with supergirl. They even copied the pitchnut scene in the bar.
"Will these people ever decide what they want and stick with it?" This kinda sums up why I stopped watching Arrow. It became a show in which all the characters stood around criticising other characters' choices. It was a constant atmosphere of "I'm right and you're wrong" by every single character in the show. It didn't matter if they were contradicting what they said in an earlier episode, the only thing that mattered was that they disagreed with each other. Then you have the characters disagreeing with themselves and changing their mind constantly.
Imagine that Supergirl is a straight copy of man of steel (the glasses, the fighting moves) but its feminist, cringe, and just bad acting. Eventually it got canceled. Finally
Like these reviews but I have to note that your rating system is horribly out of whack. If this gets a 6 and previous episodes score above a 1 does every episode of every other tv show ever automatically get a 10? Or can you go way higher than 10/10? Normally there'd be a certain allotted points allocated to relevant areas of screenwriting, for example, splitting up points between plot, dialogue, character building, cinematography, subplots, etc. If the show fails in every area of critique how does any episode obtain even a 2? My standard between all episodes thus far would give all episodes between a 0-2 rating. You would rate something sub par, but not that bad as a 10. Why?
5:15. I don’t think they’re stealing from Man of Steel. Or at least I hope not, but maybe this is sort of like a reference. Like that scene was so good they made a tribute and tried to do it the same way they did it, even if they didn’t add anything new.
I'm ready to kill the show but alas, I'm not in charge of it. Come to think of it, if I were, I'd write something better, and I'm not exactly the best writer on the planet.
I have never watched super girl but from hearing all the bad reviews about it I hope a green Kryptonite meteor the size of the fucking moon hits the earth.
Don’t feel bad dude, I gave up on Supergirl long before I even saw 3 separate episodes. Damn near gave up on Arrow after Season 5 and 6, and The Flash Seasons 3 and 4... Only Legends of Tomorrow is worth watching lately. (dunno bout LoT Season 5 though...)
I make it short. The Smallville Supergirl by Laura Vandervoort destroy the cw Clown call Supergirl by Melissa Benoist easyly. Laura works her beautyfull ass of and become second degree black belt in karate. That alone outpowered Melissa by far. That is also a thing whith can the young generation look op to. Laura Vandervoort was, is and ever will be the best Kara Zor-el/Supergirl ever. She should be in the Supergirl reboot movie !
9:13 What a shock! You mean the magic disguise glasses stopped working ??? xD Seriously, how is this considered to be any sort of ID concealment? Is it just me or is this BY FAR the most obvious thing that's wrong here?
Supergirl inspired me to become a screenwriter. I have faith in my self that I definitely can't write shit this bad

Kara is a hero & eveyone believes in Barry Allen. Both of these things you will be hit over the head with ad nauseam.
"Because fuck it," should be this show's motto.
The only episode of Supergirl that I enjoyed was the Musical crossover with the flash.
I did to but their were parts that i crings so hard
It was like a mini Glee reunion. The guy that brought them to that world and Barry were both on Glee in the past
Wait what muzical flash and supergurl what have these show become
The reviews of Supergirl Ari written better than the and so much more fun to watch. Keep up the good work.

Kara's mother was a replacement Jor El sometimes, her Aunt was a cross between Jor El and General Zod.
Stan Lees death is the only real emotional reaction I have afher seeing this video.
Cat Grant sucks. No wonder she is gone after the first season.
Astra should have killed Supergirl, that would have safed all the viewers some trouble.
Ulrich Nubias 🖕
Cat grant is actually alright in my opinion
In addition to that Man of Steel shot the episode used the tired trope of the supervillain allowing him or herself being captured. A trope starting from The Dark Knight, repeated in The Avengers and Skyfall to name a few movies.
Great review by the way. Hope you continue the series, as painfully bad as it is.
Thank you for making this. I wanted to see the best Supergirl had to offer and you made a compilation. Superman and Lois is the only Superman show (including Smallville) that I wanna watch because it breaks the villain of the week formula with random non -Superman related made up villains. Idk if Supergirl does that but the sheer number of episodes discourages me.
Respect to the intelligence of Lena Luthor. As if the same person could just spend time with her in two different outfits without her figuring out it's the same person like Cat Grant did. Lena is just so smart that even if it were a good disguise, she would still see straight through it anyway and figure out almost immediately that Kara was Supergirl... except that... I mean with the.... the.... wait, I just need to think about this for a while longer...
Maybe you didn't notice, or maybe I'm misremembering, but Astra's husband was named Zod. Meaning they took one of Superman's biggest main villain's away, and made him a "bad guy villain" who plays second fiddle to Astra's "good guy villain".
umm... his name was Non. Not Zod.
@@justsomerandomguyonline974 ~ Oh that's right! Then yeah, I was misremembering, sort of. I got them mixed up from the 2 male Kryptonians in 'Superman 2'.
Isn't anybody offended that all the women on the show look like models? Maybe nobody noticed with the terrible writing taking the spotlight.
Pretty much all women (and most men) on TV shows look like models, unless they're older actors playing "character roles". It's not particular to SF shows.
I can't believe they did 5 seasons of this!
Re-using Man of Steel mocap assets actually makes sense, because a network tv show doesn't have the money to recreate everything from scratch. Especially in the inaugural season when they don't know how much money the show will actually generate for them. That being said however, everything is pretty much on point.
Nothing like a leisurely bathroom break
If that's the worst dirt an email hack found that companies stock would fucking sky rocket. Imagine the worst thing a fucking CEO did was like shopping and asked out a celebrity.
I write my own version of the Arrowverse, one major change is removing Supergirl from the franchise and write some Superman instead.
Fair enough but not really necessary for as monumental a task it will be you could write Supergirl better then she is presented here.
rewriting this show will require changing the very core, this is why I would prefer to just write Barry going to another fictional universe (not from DC) and the Superman of that series will be Kal-El who grew up on Mars
That's cool man you do you
If I controlled arrow verse I would make flash way faster give supergirl a buff and fix the show and removing batwoman add kid flash back to legends of tomorrow
@@azerisda1533
I actually think the Arrowverse does not know how to handle Barry being fast, this is why in the second episode of my series I made it so he never surpassed the speed of m4.
as for Kara I have plans for her.
and Wally is going to be the flash for a whole season because Barry will have a reason not to be there as the flash but I will not say why.
She figures out who Supergirl is. That has to be hard-- Not at all. Barely an inconvenience.
Newscaster and journalists would have been all over that illigitimate child thing. People like that go out of their way to make everything sound terrible.
Bro your commentary should be released on Blue Ray. I would buy it. The sarcasm is hilarious.
Rip Stan Lee
There is like zero super speed shown in the show
There were only so many kryptonians who the fuck are all this new once shoehorn in like there are not enough villains for her to fight
Those eyes are extremely unnerving
Dose anyone else really want agent liberty to win in Supergirl season 4
Duckynono1234 He won’t.
Because he has a penis.
And guess what, Liberty is very much like Season 1 Oliver, but he’s clearly less trustworthy than a alien superhero who hides her identity...
The only bug I want to see on this show is one about the size of a skyscraper with a million legs and 4 rows of razor-sharp teeth. No, I'm not talking about the giant worms of Palpitations. Maybe then this show will be interesting... though given the track record, I'm sure Supergirl would just Feminize it to death.
10:30 Boom Tubes. That’s how the DEO got there so fast
2:58 That's next year
MAN OF STEEL
doesn't exist in this
DOJO
🥋
I love your channel! Keep up the good work!
Love your videos!! Please keep giving us more!
Remember that scene in superman 3 when superman is given a kryptonite rock, in which the unknown component is missing and replaced by tar, that make him evil. Well they did the same thing with supergirl. They even copied the pitchnut scene in the bar.
"Will these people ever decide what they want and stick with it?" This kinda sums up why I stopped watching Arrow. It became a show in which all the characters stood around criticising other characters' choices. It was a constant atmosphere of "I'm right and you're wrong" by every single character in the show. It didn't matter if they were contradicting what they said in an earlier episode, the only thing that mattered was that they disagreed with each other. Then you have the characters disagreeing with themselves and changing their mind constantly.
Imagine that Supergirl is a straight copy of man of steel (the glasses, the fighting moves) but its feminist, cringe, and just bad acting. Eventually it got canceled. Finally
Can someone explain why they’re heat vision is blue wtf
A bug inside a fan :D
Supergirl is as bad as Melissa Benoist is beautiful
Oh no, ive caught up, i hope youre still doing these!
I liked the takeover better in Superman 2
If they locked Astra, a Kryptonian in a Kryptonite cell then won't she be slowly and painfully dying in there?
Like these reviews but I have to note that your rating system is horribly out of whack. If this gets a 6 and previous episodes score above a 1 does every episode of every other tv show ever automatically get a 10? Or can you go way higher than 10/10? Normally there'd be a certain allotted points allocated to relevant areas of screenwriting, for example, splitting up points between plot, dialogue, character building, cinematography, subplots, etc. If the show fails in every area of critique how does any episode obtain even a 2? My standard between all episodes thus far would give all episodes between a 0-2 rating. You would rate something sub par, but not that bad as a 10. Why?
I'm curious. Why did you choose this episode to look at? This episode aired over 3 years ago.
Lime Pie
That’s not that long ago
For all their talk of 'empowerment' they keep using Superman's old story lines and watering them down significantly. What happened to originality?
5:15. I don’t think they’re stealing from Man of Steel. Or at least I hope not, but maybe this is sort of like a reference. Like that scene was so good they made a tribute and tried to do it the same way they did it, even if they didn’t add anything new.
Supergirl is Super cringe
I'm ready to kill the show but alas, I'm not in charge of it. Come to think of it, if I were, I'd write something better, and I'm not exactly the best writer on the planet.
I have never watched super girl but from hearing all the bad reviews about it I hope a green Kryptonite meteor the size of the fucking moon hits the earth.
I found Kara's heat vision crying funny.
I feel sorry for all those people they killed while while they went through a building
i am glad i watched your videos first and not that shitshow
Stan Lee in his last years really suffered a lot. I hope he finaly find some peace.
8:32 To be fair, this makes sense. If the guy was guilty, you don't want to tip him off by hauling off his computer.
Don’t feel bad dude, I gave up on Supergirl long before I even saw 3 separate episodes.
Damn near gave up on Arrow after Season 5 and 6, and The Flash Seasons 3 and 4... Only Legends of Tomorrow is worth watching lately. (dunno bout LoT Season 5 though...)
Lord is a powerful telepath, he could just have made all those kryptonians kill themselves if he wanted to.
You know, if you tried I bet you could pull off a great Kermit the Frog imitation.
They should know that putting a Kryptonian in a cell made with kryptonite is like putting a human in a cell made with plutonium
Even if the show does steal the Lex Luthor episode was awesome.
When did superman had a whole crew, and she don't feel pain near the green stuff. Who is the fanfic witter, 14 and a half feminist.
Give Laura Vandervoort the cape back and hire a better writer teasm !!!!
5:10 you're welcome.
I make it short. The Smallville Supergirl by Laura Vandervoort destroy the cw Clown call Supergirl by Melissa Benoist easyly. Laura works her beautyfull ass of and become second degree black belt in karate. That alone outpowered Melissa by far. That is also a thing whith can the young generation look op to. Laura Vandervoort was, is and ever will be the best Kara Zor-el/Supergirl ever. She should be in the Supergirl reboot movie !
9:13 What a shock! You mean the magic disguise glasses stopped working ??? xD
Seriously, how is this considered to be any sort of ID concealment? Is it just me or is this BY FAR the most obvious thing that's wrong here?
You don't like Jekyll and Hyde the Musical? Man that sucks, I love that play it's amazing
Congrats on 1k! I'm surprised UA-cam recommended you instead of will Smith or Jake Paul. Maybe 2019 is youtubes year 🤔
"Just... I do". sigh indeed... At least write it correctly "I just do".
you sound SO MUCH like the guy that does video reviews for Impact Wrestling!
4:27 kick doesn't even connect lol
