Well that didn't take too long... So apparently, some people are already screaming "objectification" at the female costumes for "showing too much skin". WTF is the world coming to? :no: https://movieweb.com/shazam-2-zachary-levi-responds-costumes/?fbclid=IwAR0nMreCBZJ3uHm7yknPrhw...

But apparently, the full Supergirl movie was shown on TV...

brdiy

speaking of rare superheroine videos, I've heard that the Philippine-made Supergirl movie made in 1973 actually made its way to local TV a couple of months back (back in December or January if I'm not mistaken). I wish this could be released on video, though I'm not sure if DC will be happy with tha...

brdiy

The drunken stagger that is DC just makes me want to think about anything else while waiting for the next Marvel show. Or did the fact that the Captain Marvel made tons of $$$ for the MCU set a bad precedent of sorts for superheroine-dom? Hollywood probably felt that they can get away with superher...

brdiy

Personally, I prefer Mary's costume in the first film, but this is not too bad either. Maybe there's hope for Hollywood yet.

brdiy

I will still probably watch the movie out of curiosity and my general interest in sci-fi/action flicks, but any prior excitement built up with a big-screen SG appearance is all dead at this point.

brdiy

I like this, too. But the set-up could make or break it for me. E.g. having every thug carry around kryptonite as if it can be purchased at the 7-11 is lazy while having an ordinary Joe come upon one by accident can be a promising start.

brdiy

Yeah, I find it weird too that there's no mention of SG (or any of the other heroes for that matter) in the show. And didn't the character for Morgan Edge already appear in SG before? Not to mention several Luthors in SG's city as well. So I was guessing this is another alternate universe or so. I'v...

brdiy

Netflix has this tendency to drop shows at the drop of a hat, so I can't say I'm surprised. It was not the best superhero show out there, but, I would have wanted to see where the show was headed considering most of the first season was just practically into world-building.

brdiy

^This is more of a family drama set in Superman's/Clark's world. Most of the Arrow-verse just think it's a good idea to keep adding new sidekicks until the main hero gets less and less screentime.

brdiy

For my superheroine fix: Wonder woman '77 Supergirl (Seasons 1-3) Justice League and Justice League Unlimited (animated series) Fantasy/Sword & Sandals/Semi-Historical: Game of Thrones The Last Kingdom Vikings (seasons 1 - 4) Comedies: The Big Bang Theory Brooklyn 99 Sci-fi: The Expanse The last...

brdiy

Hmm. With this trend towards full-body suits, I would not be surprised if the next incarnation of Darna will be wearing so body suit as well. The director for the aborted movie did say he was looking into having a "practical" costume this time around.

brdiy

It's animation. It'll look as good as people are willing to pay for it to look. It's not breaking new ground like Into The Spiderverse or an early Pixar movie, and it's not as cool as building a fake dead whale and filming in it. But it DID break new ground: the amount and kind of gore in it was st...

brdiy

Do missed opportunities in TV series count? Like this one in Lynda Carter's WW.

Then there's this brief scene in Darna were the heroine is briefly controlled by some monster before she is able to resist.

Oh I don't have a problem with bodysuits. I'm pretty sure I've made it clear in another thread before. Other than being devoid of shape in SG's case, I just prefer SG in a skirt, just as I prefer Batgirl in the bodysuit. But you're right, this is a Powerpuff Girls thread, and I'm pretty sure I'm not...

brdiy

It's very probable these are like, the 'beginning of the series' outfits that are like... close to what they wore as children because they haven't actually gone out to do any superheroing since they were kids. Then the big 'upgrade' episode will happen and everyone will be like 'coooool!' Or more p...

brdiy

Not sure how I feel about the idea of a live-action version, but they look cute though...

brdiy

I loved season 1. I haven't had the chance to see Season 2 though.

brdiy

I honestly think some of the writers on this show are SHIP fans given how little "superheroing" Supergirl ever does. It seems that every season she's constantly depowered, getting beat up, captured, weakened, losing to some B-list villain she would easily handle in the comics without much...

brdiy

I like to compare this movie to watching a WWE match. You know everything is scripted, yet you're just there to enjoy the characters (fake) bashing each other.

brdiy

Forget the story. This is giant monster slugfest goodness all the way.

brdiy

^True. I never bothered to finish episode 4, as I found myself cringing and rolling my eyes the few minutes I managed to see it. Yup, this show is running out of ideas, and they're probably better off wrapping up this show soon.

brdiy

no KOs but WW did get a few beatings battling Steppenwolf, and later against Superman.

brdiy

How about Michelle Jenneke

brdiy

Saw this on youtube. I know she's going for "sexy nurse" but sure reminds me of the Retro Girl costume.

brdiy

I have no idea about the sport of Biathlon, but these women are already armed and practically in costume. :) https://64.media.tumblr.com/bfbb7350929be420f70384c9329277ba/tumblr_np51xg9Uj51tvi4pwo1_1280.jpg https://64.media.tumblr.com/f0bbb5eaf285ed3324358052cd7024b9/tumblr_niq0ik3YSA1tvi4pwo1_1280.j...

brdiy

don't me wrong she is beautiful, sexy, gorgeous, perfect face hair and body but I just don't get a Supergirl vibe from her....will they bleach her hair? classic skirt costume? The dark/brunette hair could work for her alter-ego, then have her blonde as SG. It could work. But I'm more concerned abou...

brdiy

Gonna suck if they give her the pants costume

brdiy

Obligatory teen angst + more "you lied to us" drama, all too common across the "Berlanti-verse"

Great show superhero unfortunately cancelled

The sad thing is not many people even knew this series existed.

brdiy

A good network/streaming platform would have done wonders for this show. Such a shame it was cancelled way too soon.

brdiy

I blame my short attention span for not having the patience to wait for e every installment. But now that you're done, I'll probably go back to pick up where I left off one of these days. I'm with tmon in requesting a DL link for this. It would probably be easier for someone like me to go through th...

brdiy

No nudity here, but very sexy imho

brdiy

From Filmation's Super 7. Too few episodes, but peril in most episodes, specially for Webwoman.

brdiy

Not all bodysuits are created equal.

Exhibit A.

brdiy

On bodysuits: Black Widow's and Batgirl's were sexy. Both accentuated the curves perfectly. Sorry to say this version of SG (as well as the MCU Captain Marvel) is not. Like I said, might as well just call her Super Person. I'm actually surprised the CW didn't try that even if just a passing joke or ...

brdiy

Producers decided to go with a TV series first. Hmm, it's ABS-CBN though. I don't want to be pesamistic, but what are the odds that the show doesn't make it to screen given their current franchise situation . Last I heard the government was still preventing them from broadcasting their main network...

brdiy

Darna, you mean? They're getting a new actress to portray her in a TV series next year. I hope they don't drop the ball on the costume, though, as I've been hearing that they want to change the costume into "something more practical", which usually doesn't bode well. Jane De Leon, and it ...

^ Yeah, looks good.
The pantssuit looks better on him than on Kara

Yeah, the pants effectively neutered SG. I'm surprised they didn't decide to start calling her Super Person last season.

brdiy

Eagerly looking forward to see where this is headed.

brdiy

It's unbelievable that when faced when overwhelming evidence, some people would rather resort to "fringe studies" to justify their actions...

brdiy

They can always do flashbacks just to get her in the Batgirl costume.

brdiy

I hope we see more costumes this season as they were hardly in costumes for much of season 1 and 2. And I hope for more action and less moping around.

brdiy

Not getting my hopes up. I bet she'll be in pants and a leather jacket instead.

brdiy

^I would go in a different direction, i.e. the cop is a gentleman and all business at first but in her current (horny, I assume) state, she seduces the cop who then gives in.

Melissa Benoist is the definitive Supergirl.

Poll made earlier in this forum would say otherwise.

Having said that, my opinion is that Helen Slater was the perfect Supergirl. To each his own I guess.

brdiy

Personally, I think this looks better than the Gal Gadot on Lynda's body version. I can't place it, but there's just something "off" about the latter one.
