Stargirl

Cute white blonde girl that doesn't have nudes of her getting plowed leaked all over the internet. Supergirl was one of my favorite comic character given the crazy diverse iterations of her character over the 80's and 90's and it ended up going full on woke girl power when that was literally the opposite of who she was or the conflicts portrayed. Rebel girl teenager in the 80's, robot replica dealing with her existence, sidelining Lex Luthor and realizing he's a douchebag, and they basically shit on all of that with a shitty lesbian sister story where she's not even the main character.

Stargirl is a girl picking up her father's power and continuing his legacy. I hope against hope they do this one justice. Pun sorta intended.

Biggest problem CW has is its actors getting too big for their pants. Stephen Amell figured he'd ratchet off a career but he's a terrible actor. Flash is a Glee has-been with better secondary characters. Legends the same thing when Dr. Who's Rory felt he was too good for the show when he was the best thing about it, but had no where else to go. I barely want to even mention the gutter they pulled Black Lightning out of.

I'm a huge DC fanboi. I'll watch this. Even if I end up disappointed. I can always go back and rewatch the later seasons of Smallville. Even if Chloe was involved in a sex cult.

I would disagree on your analysis of Legends. Once that show stopped trying to take itself seriously (i.e. when Rip left) they started finding a groove. They not only realize their premise is a bit silly, but fully lean into it and own it. I've actually enjoyed that show more than any of the other CW shows, and I DESPERATELY want to like the Flash more.

I stopped watching The Flash during the Cicada story line. Is it still shit?

This season has waffled around some. I WANT to say it's better. But the writing is still essentially crap since they apparently don't remember their own worldbuilding from episode to episode, let alone season to season. When watching it Mrs. Haus and I will usually keep track of how often one of us asks why they didn't solve a problem the easy and obvious way and the other has to say "Bad writing"...

Also, they're cutting this season short due to Covid, apparently to wrap it up at the beginning of next season. Only thing I think to look forward to will be a black Flash outfit.

Another thing I've seen a lot of these shows (not just CW shows, but other ensemble shows like Brooklyn nine nine even) is that they get so wrapped up in making sure every side character has a "meaningful development arc" that suddenly they're needing to concurrently run multiple plot thread and often not weaving them together well. In the Flash for instance we just saw , in one episode...

- Flash dealing with Iris personal drama (tied to main story arc)
- Joe West dealing with separation issues... (at least tied to main story arc)
- Wells and rando-McLightPowersGirl dealing with her not being able to accept that she reminds him of someone he lost and cared about (WTF?!? this should have been a 30 second discussion between them)
- Frost and Elongated Man learning to life coach?!? (Because they're needing to derail her because the actress is knocked up)
- Cisco just being a whiny bitch because they can't seem to stand him being happy. (at least vaguely tied to main arc)
