Maybe they do need to address her trauma more but that is a good thing it effects her during her battles, it creates flaws cause the idea of a perfect character is a dull and overrated cliche

thats what they always do though with final battles so not sure I get your point

My point is that we, the audience, should be able to see Kara's journey as she comes into her power, and that we haven't. A final battle where everything is resolved in one fell swoop would be a disservice to her character.

We're did he get the idea of Kara op she nowhere near op she's more like completely underpower since 3 she hasn't beat a villian alone she's always getting her asskicked

Exactly. Kara's abilities are constantly de-powered. Like...constantly!

I can't even remember the last time she beat someone alone human or alien it's always a team thing

And it happens all. the. time.

He seems to be of that opinion since nobody has died and they'll win in the end. I've seen his disappointment about nobody dying before and that's probably why he thinks Kara is OP.

I don't get it either.

well part of that is cause the show has a overblown roster focused on irrelevant useless characters so had some of them gotten out already it might be able to focus on her more

•

u/JohnnyTightlips27 Oct 27 '21

More focus on Kara and less on useless characters sounds good to me! (So long, Lex...)

•

to be fair lex has a place as being the villain granted im tired of him not cryers in particular but the oversaturation of the character

to me useless characters right now in the show are williem, andrea, im going to get hate for this but alex and kelly, not saying they dont have a purpose but im not a fan of human characters being mixed up in superhuman threats

•

u/JohnnyTightlips27 Oct 27 '21

I love Alex and Kelly and everything they bring to the story. Lex, at this point, has overstayed his welcome. (Cryer is a great Lex but even he agrees that there was too much Lex in S5.)

like I believe I said there was no great reason lex should have come back other than monitor had some crush on him I guess

thats fair I just dislike human on superhuman/superpowered threats, at least they have some gadgets and its not just their fists Ill give them that
