This is interesting, even looking at the site name "Super versus Evil." Shouldn't it be "Good versus Evil" or "Hero versus Villain"? After all, you could have a Super-villain, right?
I'm 100% in love with the F/F stories. Sorry to fans of F/M. I hope this site avoids what I feel is the biggest weakness of Heroine Legends: overarching plot-lines and seasons. There is an art to simple storytelling with beginning, middle, and end. If a story is too good to be contained in one episode, then make it a two-parter or three. But I want to be able to pick up a video and not feel lost because I haven't watched the videos that came before.
My money is really going to be strained with these new sites popping up. And I do wonder how this will affect the new Defeated Heroines site. Obviously, DH is more adult in its offerings, but I expect a very similar feel given the production teams. Plus, are the post-apocalyptic and goddess/myth sites still a go? Sorry, I forget their names.
I love the fact that my favorite Heroine Legends actresses will be seen, particularly Kristin Ige and Kristina Hess. I do kinda wish Kristina Hess would don an Amazon/Wonder Woman attire. I think she'd be a natural fit.

Some of the site name came down to the availability of a ".com" site. Thought process was "Good vs Evil". Taken. Then a few other tries until I got to "Superheroines vs Villains"… eh, not easy enough. Then I landed on "Super vs Evil". Supervillains is a term I'll just avoid using. Or I'll poke fun at it while humiliating the Heroines… either way, I settled on "Super vs Evil" since it's a story about the Superheroines against evil in general, sometimes within themselves.
Heroine Legends had a huge story, not because I was trying to make it that way, but because we went through a lot of actresses trying to find the ones who would stick with it. After all, this isn't just a regular project. You're selling sex in some fashion here. We are lucky enough now to have certain actresses who love the genre, see potential for it, enjoy the productions, etc and it allows me to scale back the stories. You're beginning to see a lot of that now. "Cast of Shadows" & "Hawke's Revenge" are perfect examples of that. The 3rd part of Cyrus which we filmed last week is also very simple: Celestia finds Tony, she pretends to be a stripper to listen in on his phone call, Onyx catches her, Tony says his peace and leaves, she fights Onyx and loses. Easy.
"Super vs Evil" is along those lines, if not even MORE simplified. Anytime you include the government in anything, it tends to get complicated. So there are no "government" forces here. There are 4 groups of Heroines all from different places with different motives and there is one head villainess with her henchwomen. Many possible scenarios… each film will have one simple thing happen that will play out for 10-15 minutes max. And, we have a successful series that has led us up to this point. Additionally, this site has been pitched to our actresses as a late-night TV meets live action comic book, super risqué and sexy site. The actresses in it understand that and are down.
"Neomegas" will still happen, but is on hold (that is the post-Apocalyptic one). I've covered the cast suit thing here with this site with the Wildcats (Catwomen). The spy world will come next and also be very sexy. It may not be 100% female though. I haven't ironed all of the details out for that site. "Guardians of Olympus" may flip over to Jason's side but I'm not sure. I haven't gotten enough positive feedback from this community to green light that one. It may be straying too far from the Superheroine genre to be successful.
Kristina Hess was originally going to be an Amazon in the series, but she prefers to play the bad girl so she chose to be a villainess instead.
