Ooh. I like how this is turning out!

brdiy

This show is definitely better cast and better written than any Arrow-verse show. They've also shown that it's possible to make subtle political or social commentaries without being preachy or cringe-worthy.

Helen will always be my favorite SG. This doesn't mean I don't like Melissa's (skirt) version, though.

brdiy

I'm afraid I think Melissa Benoist is the superior Supergirl by a country mile. Helen Slater's movie wasn't just campy; it was a really bad film, and if Helen Slater has talent, she wasn't allowed to display it. Her portrayal got across very little of what makes the character memorable. Acting-wise...

For me, it was the look above all else. Whenever I imagine any situation with Supergirl in it, whether wholesome or not

, it's the Helen Slater version that I think about.

brdiy

The definitive live action Supergirl? I think part of the problem is the question, while seemingly straightforward, can actually be taken several different ways. The question begs a comparison between Helen and Melissa. But compared based on what criteria? Attractiveness? Costume? Acting skill? Qua...

brdiy

Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Mary Marvel and even Isis should be about enough to explain my vote.

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

Eagerly looking forward to see where this is headed.

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.

Not all bodysuits are created equal.

Exhibit A.

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

No nudity here, but very sexy imho

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...

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

brdiy

How about Michelle Jenneke

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.

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.

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

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

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...

After the failed WW pilot, and all the SJW crap going around, I was expecting the worst, story-wise and costume-wise, though hoping for the best. The costume turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but close enough to what I thought was the "classic" SG loo...

One of the great mysteries of life. :blink: Women walking around in real life wearing short skirts, short shorts or bikinis is ok because people should be free to wear whatever it is they are comfortable in. But women on TV or the movies wearing the same outfits are immediately called out for "...

If the Sorceress is blonde underneath that Eagle thingy on her head, I'd say busted...:P

brdiy

My bad. She's red-haired apparently...

Need to investigate further.

brdiy

With such bad writing, the skirt was practically the redeeming factor for the show and they had to ditch it.

brdiy

Bless her soul. In this world of extreme woke-ness, we definitely need more of her kind.

Frankly it would be a silly SCENE to be proud of as basically it DOES just objectify her for the sequence in the name of humor... but one is free and should be free to be proud of working out and getting their bodies in shape... and shouldn't need to feel wrong for having it and in a perfect world ...

This piece of news seems relevant in a way...

So apparently after Batman '68 and Wonderwoman '77, there's a Superman '78 comic series as well. I do hope this paves the way for a Supergirl '84. I'd love to see Helen Slater don the costume once again, even in comic form...

brdiy

If Christopher Reeve did not back out from the originally planned story, the chances of a SG sequel would have been higher and we would have gotten more Helen Slater as SG goodness. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be.

brdiy

CBS WW had a number of missed opportunities. And those villains could have caused trouble elsewhere. For instance, the Pied Piper would have easily subdued any other Superheroine's mental defenses. I'm thinking Melissa Benoist's Supergirl for example...

This whole cancel culture has gotten way out of hand if you ask me. Sure, it was wrong to "cancel" Johnny Depp, but "cancelling" Amber Heard doesn't solve anything . If anything, it only makes matters worse if any Tom, Dick and Harry can just start a petition to have anyone remov...

Basketball player Charles Barkley said it best: "I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models."

Applies to actors/actresses as well.

So should Ezra Miller get kicked out? Should we ignore his shenanigans and behavior? Wikipedia says that he was arrested for harassment and minor injuries (this is how it is typified in the Argentine penal code, I guess it must be similar to the American one). Who has to judge him is the justice sy...

Matter of opinion, but mine would have to be the minefield scene in the Man Who Could Move the World https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szyv9iNMze4 I just love the look of concern on her face when her body was under the control of Ishida. And WW in full costume was really in peril. Kind of a cop out th...

I like my superheroines to be overcome by seemingly weaker individuals once in a while. Hypnosis kinda evens the odds and that's part of the appeal of hypnosis for me.

brdiy

I don’t think this movie could ever be tapped out. I do lose interest for a while but I always cum back to it There is, indeed, so much to play with. I could write fresh naughty screen captions for days and days from this movie! I just look at Helen looking fantastic in that SG costume and let my i...

brdiy

She was rather incompetent as a superheroine, and in a way, that was part of the appeal, I guess. Similar to how we loved Yvonne Craig's Batgirl for getting captured by villains so easily. Seeing them all cocky, knowing that they will be in trouble soon just makes us want to watch them more.

Formicida proved to be more than a match for WW. Too bad there wasn't a return match. Another missed opportunity here.

Hell no! I'd take a bumbling Electra Woman and Batgirl any day, over the current crop of superheroines who are "too competent", that they hardly ever get captured or defeated.

Reading this, I immediately thought of why Batgirl was so awesome. YC a accomplished ballet dancer before becoming Batgirl. She knew how to move and had the physicality for the character. Deidre Hall was a soap actress at the height of her career. She was a pretty blonde with lacquered hair. I thin...

Here's the trailer. Though the costume is still a bit of mystery, except for the fuzzy behind the scene shots, that is.

I don’t mean to take away from this thread, but Lynda Carter had a great and underrated ass. That's America's ass! I've read a lot of complaints she had no tush at all. Exhibit A for research purposes... WW stolen faces.png And here's the toyman examining the goods... deadly toys (94).png

Probably the one of the hottest scenes in the movie for me. Too bad there's no bluray version of the director's cut.
