The episode didn’t grip me as much as other episodes. The only good things about this episode were Alex, Lena and Kara’s cat Streaky. And Brainiac 5 is hands down a way better match for Kara (better personality and nicer), despite him looking like the love child of Doc Brown from Back to the Future and an Avatar. He even signed Alex’s cast when she got hurt; him making sure Alex was okay won me over with his character. Lena actually saying that she’s not a match with James was literally me. J’on could have taken Reign. He is one of the most powerful beings in the DC universe, Superman is even scared to fight him. What the hell are these writers doing to his character? Also, when Winn said they had a “Legion” Of superheroes, when it was three people. And even though Mon-El changed, he *STILL* needed a woman, this time being Imra, to tell him to do the right thing.
Similar for me too, only it's my reaction to people who ship Supercorp. Tell me, how many scenes from other ships do the Supercorp fandom need to leech from in order to feel relevant? Because 90% of their content consists of them watching scenes that have nothing to do with Supercorp and then doing mental gymnastics to make it about Supercorp.
HonorThyGamer I ship supercorp, however I see your point with the gymnastic shipping. Personally I agree with you there as some contrasts made aren’t even there to begin with.
Emma Ripley I understand what your saying about Alex's girlfriend not being around with no word where she went. I'm still wondering what happened to Winn's girlfriend. I work in media and they show never leave loose ends in a story line.
I'm sorry, most of this woman's commentary sounds idiotic as hell. She barely seems to understand the most basic stuff. And calling Manhunter a lunatic?? Totally senseless.
Also LMAO I never knew that people thought of Brainy as the new love interest. Amazing how that changed (I wasn't part of the online fandom at this point).
I think a reason why is because they're dating in comics alot and even have a daughter at one point, and Brainy was infact being considered to be her love interest in season 4 but they changed it.
James and Lena needs to end like yesterday. Ughhh. Can't stand them. Get Lena away from him. They think we are going to stop wanting supercorp and that won't happen. They are more popular now then ever. Writers are idiots. It is so forced and it's not working
Seriously, why do people think that reasoning makes sense? They're trying to make you stop shipping Supercorp by introducing a ship you despise? How would doing that in ANY WAY influence your decision to ship Kara and Lena? It may come as a surprise, but not every shipping decision involving Kara and Lena goes back to Supercorp.
They’re trying to turn us away from the show hoping that we’ll just stop watching and they can keep pumping out their garbage in peace. It goes back to kreisberg who’s on record for threatening to give actors storylines that would make their fans upset and stop watching. Basically making the actor unpopular. That’s the only reason lames exists to get back at Katie for not taking his bs
They just forced it in No connection they went from dislike to like to fast unlike with her and brainiac 5 and that could go somewhere but with what they said in this episode with there DNA I dought he will stay
shane daley pretty much every couple doesn’t like each other and get together Kara and Mon-el didn’t like each other and it happens on a lot of other shows and movies too! I ship James and Lena their both amazing and they like each other! People are getting mad that they have no chemistry but neither did a lot of other couples people see in shows! (This is just my opinion not being rude)♥️
fun fact streaky the cat is actually super cat in the comics. The cat does belong to supergirl and has most recently appeared in super sons annual which reintroduced the super pets. Although they imply streaky is female in that where Kara refereed to streaking as "he" in this episode
There are 3 other world killers. She is not the only one, Kinda like the opposite of Legion. In the comics Reign and Supergirl visits argo city at planet Krypton. It was the 1st time for Reign and 1st time for Kara after the destruction of Krypton. During that journey, in my opinion, one of the most profound conversation that takes place which showcase life, history, culture of Krypton as Reign asks and Kara answers. For Kara that conversation was the 1st time she felt kinship toward a Kryptonian woman who could've been her friend if things were different like Krypton was not destroyed. They both examine their lives, their origin and how it intertwined.
There's more to the story about Mon-El and Imra, and no he didn't become a better person due to their relationship. He became a better person through being with Kara and learning from her. You'll find that out when you hear about the background of their marriage...which isn't exactly as it seems. Everything Mon-El has done in the future was for Kara to honor her memory, founding the legion, using her as their inspiration, wearing her neckless for 7 years, he even put the outline of the kryptonian symbol on his suit. (You can see it clearly in his suit reveal poster). I wouldn't say this is a good Mon-El he's very emotionless and suppressing a lot of what he's actually feeling.
HungerGamesFan032312 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed. this mon-el is dead inside... the mon-el with kara was smiling and happy and just, what happened....
Where's Superman??? Miss Martian and her multiple White Martian allies? The small army of super heroes that are just a push of a button on her interdimensional portal device away? Guardian, Wynn and Wynns gf? J'onns dad? That Batman guy who's been mentioned but not named? They spent most of this episode lamenting that they have no chance without Supergirl because it's her show, when they should've been gathering a huge force against her full of Kryptonians, Martians, Daxamites, speedsters, breachers, magic users...a rogue Kryptonian should really be an "all hands on deck" situation...
It boils down to budget issues. There isn't supposed to be another cross over this season. They'll probably bring in more heroes later, but I haven't heard of anymore casting being done yet.
Her: “If I do nothing else in this life I would want to play a masked robber”....... Me: Ummmm oh ok... Her: “In a movie” Me: Ohhhhh that makes more sense
I'm pretty sure "Triggers" 3x02 was the only fear-based episode. And that was mostly a tool to tie into her guilt about Mon-El/her abandonment issues. (If anything, Kara's thing is usually being too reckless.) As far as the Kara Danvers identity thing, that's pretty much the theme of this season, so we're gonna see it crop up a lot. Life as a human vs life as an alien. We see it with Sam/Reign with a very literal divide, J'onn a bit with his father, and Kara. Her identities on whole-as Supergirl, as a human, as a Kryptonian-they're themes that the writers are always gonna play into, on purpose. How she juggles it all, how she tries to find happiness through balance. So that's not gonna go away so much as present in different ways, which can lead to other themes like religion, fear, anger, immigration, grief, responsibility, her core abandonment issues, etc. The Kara Danvers identity thing has actually been pretty nice to watch develop across the season as far as I'm concerned. We saw her lose touch with it because she's depressed over Mon-El leaving (and she's tired of putting herself out there emotionally and having 'human' connections only to lose them). We saw how that is because of her abandonment issues from when she was sent away in the pod (shown particularly in the fear episode when she realized she sent Mon-El away the same way she was sent away). We saw how she lost someone on Earth when she was a teen to remind us that this is something that follows Kara. We saw that she didn't want to lose Alex along with everything else back then, so she embraced Kara Danvers and forgot about being a superhero to keep Alex safe (choosing the opposite of what she is now). We saw Mon-El come back and Kara think that everything was fixed only for her to be "abandoned" again (right there in front of her and yet, of course, she's still alone) just when Kara was getting better. And now, after all this time, we're seeing Kara slowly feel open enough to try to have a "normal" human life again. Putting on those glasses after seven months of depression was Kara choosing to try to be happy again, and I personally found it to be quite powerful a moment.
Legion of Super-Heroes is a team of heroes from the 30th/31st century. First debuted in Superboy comics where they go back in time to meet their inspiration (Superboy) they are a bunch of superheroes from different planets. Saturn Girl/Irma's powers are usually telepathy (mind reading and influence) but telekinesis was added apparently. Brainiac 5 is the 5th version/"offspring" of Brainiac (and if you remember Indigo from season 1 was a previous version of the evil robot, usually Brainiac 8 as she is usually a time traveler as well so more advance model) who is just a super smart alien (as Brainiac often is) in the comics but usually a robot in animated shows (apparently combined the two here which is nice). Streaky is also usually a super powered cat for one reason or another (Streaky the Supercat, the cat version of Kypto the Super Dog or Beppo the Supermonkey or Comet the Superhorse who all at one time joined the Legion of Super-Heroes as the Legion of Super-Pets because why not?). O and the Binary on Alex's cast translates to ":)". Other members include Lightning Lad, his sister Lightning Lass (a possible love interest for ALex) who shoot lightning, Cosmic Boy with magnetic powers, Mon-El (more known as a member of a legion than anything else, often being retconned into their inspiration when Superman was never Superboy), and about 20 other heroes so those pods could be filled (and in the future they are more open with things so a lot of possible love interests for ALex in there assuming it isn't Reign).
Kara's cat is from the comics... she also has a super horse... Brainiac 5 is my favorite Legionaire from the comics and I'm rooting for him and Kara...
Technically, in the comics Worldkillers were a team of 5 genetically modified alien species and Reign was their leader, idk if they'll be introducing all the worldkillers or only some of them, but it'll be cool if they do introduce the entire team and how supergirl fights them off
Oh GOD I forgot how much I can't stand to watch Lames. This is amazing going back and watching these 2.5 years later. I'd almost completely forgotten most of this.
No comment on Lena's outfit? I wonder if this was a stealth pilot for the LoSH? So far so good. And it struck me as odd that they took the time to get an unconscious Kara out of her damaged Supergirl costume and into a new one before putting her in the, uh, bacta tank.
gotta remember, this is a world where Kara probably could walk around in her supersuit with glasses, and the only person people would see would be the paper-employee. none of these people are any good at noticing patterns. not even people like Lana, who has more or less built her life around the practice. so, yeah.
There was kryptonite in the probe that the cult leader had. Alex threw it across the room before they buried the probe under the earth. In theory they recovered said kryptonite and have it on hand, but it is a limited amount. Presumably after this episode they are all out again.
Thanks for the reaction this way I do not have to spend 40 minuets watching it to be irritated 😤. Love Alex she is the reason I watch. My 9 year old daughter was sad when Alex and Maggie called off their wedding.
the Leigon of Super Heroes exist in the 31st and are inspired by the family of EL. Yes Brainiac 5 and Kara have a romantic relationship. That cat is Streaky and his suspose to be orange.
This isn't the first time you've seen brainiac in this show.. he/she was also in season 1. That blue girl called indigo was also a brainiac. they are all basically the same being. Just with updates. Think like how there is Windows 8 and Windows 10.
I'm over Lames. Yes, Lena would drop any and all plans for Kara. Yes, You're not the only one who thinks Kara finding herself is a plot we've seen before lol Great reaction!
you know what piss me of? the amount of special effects and basically not fights, the villains escapes, James and Lena is the cherry in that disaster gross cake.
It's all because of budget, they can only spend so much per episode. I wasn't very happy with how they used Mon-el, they could have at least let him throw a few punches before being frozen.
- That 30 second "Here's what you missed" recap alone merits an upvote. - I was so expecting some sort of comment on either Lena's dress or her Lana Parrilla evil cleavage. BTW -“0011101000101001” decoded from Binary Code is: :)
WB had a cartoon series for the Legion of Superheroes, if you are interested in learning about them. I recommend watching the cartoon, maybe it will help.
“What kind of grown ass woman plays nerf guns with her daughter “Ummm... a great mom??? She is playing with her daughter and making her happy like what??!?
Lena just seems...different now that she and James have become something and i don't like it. I like that Kara and Mon El had some healthy closure and I can't wait to see what's next for the Danvers sisters :D
I am a lil confused. El mayarah is the motto of the house of El.. Superman and Supergirl's family. Why did the witch tell Reign that? Reign is Kara Zor El's enemy and so that motto doesn't belong to her.
Maybe the point the writers are trying to make is that people can change. James because of his initial distrust for Lena (and the Luthors in general, given his history being Supermans best friend) is starting to like her, be less skeptical, and see her with a newfound respect because they're both defending Supergirl's reputation from guys like Morgan Edge (established in episode 1), and also they both want what's best For Catco, and for National City. Also, she's distancing herself from her family's criminal legacy (Lionel = corrupt, Lillian=corrupt, Lex= OBVIOUSLY corrupt). I don't have a problem with James and Lena being a couple. However, the real problem with them being together, in terms of how the story might unfold, has to do with secrets - namely Kara's and James's superhero identities of Supergirl and Guardian, and the labors the both of them are going to have to take in order to hide those identities from Lena the closer she gets to know the truth of their double identities. They've kind of been teasing things as to how Lena might react with learning either Kara or James's secret lives as heroes, but it could go either way: she could be okay with it - which would make sense to the fans because they WANT Lena to be understanding and fair, if a little left out of the loop for so long. Then again .... as we've learned from Smallville, the comics, the movies.....most Luthors don't quite end up that way when it comes to Supers. Personally, I love the scenes where James has to scramble and call Winn and J'onn to help out with covering for Kara, because I think in the next episodes, we're going to get a scene where Kara has to cover for James. I'm also figuring that maybe Lena walks in on James or Kara......in mid-costume change and is like "Dude, WTF?" This is the kind of juicy intrigue you get normally with comicbook storylines, it's just fun to watch the drama of it all....well, you know, beyond the supervillain fight of the week. Personally, the fans going overboard with their ships is starting to make me roll my eyes a little, but live and let live. There's just so much more going on than just "I SHIP THIS OR THAT BECAUSE REASONS." But that's just me, respectfully. I just enjoy the intrigues and picking out the stuff I recognize from a lifetime of reading and following the comics, it was never about the ships for me. Just the characters and the story, and how it all unfolds. I don't get too attached to the characters because I know comicbook storylines, the stakes are life and death. But Im also a bit of a romantic, so I get it somewhat. And I know most of you probably would not be able to deal if Lena got killed (not that her friends would let that happen) .... but Im jsut warning you guys up front: be careful who your shipping because the ship may not surive even a season. For those of you who dont read the comics and watch the shows, it's everything. But for us, who know and follow the comics, we're looking at you guys and kinda cringing so hard because knowing what's (probably) going to happen - or not happen, as this is an adaptation and not a straight copy of certain storylines we know - enjoy the happiness while it lasts, but keep that box of tissues on standby. Then again, seeing as how most of you have survived 2 seasons of this drama already .... you got this! El Mayara, mofos!
Well, either way, James and Lena are happeneing, so I guess we're gonna have to wait and see what happens. I analyzed their scenes from last season and this season, and I'm of the belief that it's the secrets of their hero identities that are going to - at the least -drive a wedge between James, Lena, and Kara as three people. Kara's always confided in James as friend, she's close to Lena in the same way (yes, I know about Supercorp, and I acknowledge it....sorta exists in fan's head-canon as a thing, but I don't wanna get into a heated debate about it as I dont have any strong opinion for or against it to be fair). Lena comes from a family who kept secrets from eachother all the time, so she has a lot of reason to distrust people growing up as a Luthor, and the negative legacy that name entails. How is she going to feel when she finds out her new love interest is moonlighting as Guardian, or that her best friend is actually National City's greatest hero? Will a betrayal of her trust by them change their relationship completely by the end of this season? Will the writers even have her find out at all? Anybody';s guess, but Im waiting on a serious episode where Lena does eventually find out....and what hapens after that is likely to be some very nail-biting drama between Kara, James and Lena. And possibly Lillian, if theres a chance she makes an appearnce (whaaaaaaaaaat?? Luthor mother and daughter team up against Guardian and Supergirl in a battle of wits and superstrength? BRING. IT. ON! But yeah, first they have to deal with Reign, lol!
JM RONIN Well said, I also watch to see the adaptation of some iconic storylines. I tire of the constant shipping as well, but to each their own i guess.
“James and Lena share a kiss which left us all looking a bit like this 🙄 ..and a lil bit of this 😒” And just a touch of 🤮 Their lack of chemistry is painful
Can you please do a reaction to Runaways? Maybe just to the Karolina/Nico scenes or even just talk about the show without doing a reaction . Whatver makes you feel most comofrtable . This show is so wonderful but it has almost no viability in the fandoms and I would love to see cool reactors like you taking about it
I still believe Karamel will happen, unfortunately. They're building Mon-El as a decent person so we'll like him and accept him with Kara. Which I don't wanna. I won't get started on Lena and James, cause that's just ridiculous. James never liked Lena. Ever. They interact for two seconds and he's into it? It'd make more sense Lena with her assistent Eva than with him.
True true we need more than the identity thing and the fear thing. How about existential crisis being the only living kryptonian citizen. I mean superman is more of earth than Krypton. She actually remembers this shit. How about being a sneaky journalistic thing and actually using her detectiveness, how about getting shit faced drunk at the alien bar and sneaking lena at the bar thing, how about appearing at civil court due to all the damages she has made at national city as supergirl and now has to do community service thing, How about lena luthor doing your taxes cause kara danvers dont understand jack shit. How about someone asking the question like if reign is going around and breaking shit, whose running L-CORP cause Sam arias is not there....many things
I don't like Mon-El and Imra for 2 reasons. 1) I hate Mon-El. 2) 6 year old me watched Legion of Super Heroes when it was on Saturday morning on the Kids WB and shipped her with Lightning Lad. Over ten years later I'm still shipping them and her being with Mon-Hell is putting holes in my ship. Also Mon-El has a wife in the comics. Why not have her be the wife, and still have Saturn Girl in one of the pods? (Sounds of frustration) Also in this house we ship Kara and Brainy.
Emily I really like your reactions most of the time on Supergirl, however, I feel I need to challenge you to your perspectives of Ep 10, I don’t know how much of those comments you read, I know your busy, but it would be so great to chat, are you up for a challenge, ....
One thing I couldn't stand about this show is Superman is now a psychopath. His beloved cousin is near death, all over the news, and he is a no show? CW if you introduce Superman he shows up. He may leave and let her fight her own fight but his no show is disgraceful. Shame on ya. Otherwise great show.
don't like the scene were Ruthless Reign broke Alex legs.. maybe DC has. to bring Wonder Woman to the team DEO....cus these Riegn Gal is hurting Everyone.......
“And then Ruby’s like, where the fucks my mom” 😂😂😂😂
James and Lena being together no, no , this is not going to stop supercorp from shipping Kara and Lena.
alex always thinks it's her fault because that's the curse of the older sister
Or because of poor writing.
I'm an older sister and I totally get Alex
@@cosirah I'm one too!!
The only thing I could focus on in 25 minutes of video was the mug with Caity Lotz's face staring at me. I'm in love with that woman so freaking much.
Antonietta Zibella Same!! I couldn't focus on anything else. I love Caity ❤❤❤❤
I shipped Kara and Brainy in the animated series. And I low key ship them in the show now!
same♡
Lena and the one-who-shall-not-be-named I literally GROWLED AT THEM AT FIRST SIGHT 🤬😡😡😡😡🤬
If I were Mon-El and had a hot raven-haired wife who talked like Joan Greenwood, I'd be saying, "Kara who?"
Dizzy Dude ikr !!
Dizzy Dude ha ha ha
Yah Imra is gorgeous! Like Lucy I. Season 1
Kara is gorgeous too
Lena works with Kara and doesn't realize she is Supergirl.....lol. Wish they would ditch that James and Lena relationship story.
The episode didn’t grip me as much as other episodes. The only good things about this episode were Alex, Lena and Kara’s cat Streaky. And Brainiac 5 is hands down a way better match for Kara (better personality and nicer), despite him looking like the love child of Doc Brown from Back to the Future and an Avatar. He even signed Alex’s cast when she got hurt; him making sure Alex was okay won me over with his character. Lena actually saying that she’s not a match with James was literally me.
J’on could have taken Reign. He is one of the most powerful beings in the DC universe, Superman is even scared to fight him. What the hell are these writers doing to his character? Also, when Winn said they had a “Legion” Of superheroes, when it was three people. And even though Mon-El changed, he *STILL* needed a woman, this time being Imra, to tell him to do the right thing.
Miranda Miller: it always takes a woman to tell the man to do the right thing...
I agree 100% about weakening of Martian Manhunter. Atleast they could show Reign using fire to weaken him.
Love these reaction video ❤️ Kara’s laugh at the end is my reaction to people who ship ‘lames’
Similar for me too, only it's my reaction to people who ship Supercorp. Tell me, how many scenes from other ships do the Supercorp fandom need to leech from in order to feel relevant? Because 90% of their content consists of them watching scenes that have nothing to do with Supercorp and then doing mental gymnastics to make it about Supercorp.
HonorThyGamer I ship supercorp, however I see your point with the gymnastic shipping. Personally I agree with you there as some contrasts made aren’t even there to begin with.
Every supercorp scene is canon. The bridal carry, “u are my hero” and plenty more. What scenes are u referring to that sc has stolen?
Alex hears Reign is killing cops...any concern for Maggie at this point? Where did she go? Did she move?
Emma Ripley The actress who played Maggie left the show for other acting jobs
Oh I know, it's just weird that she is no longer even a slight presence on the show anymore.
Emma Ripley I understand what your saying about Alex's girlfriend not being around with no word where she went. I'm still wondering what happened to Winn's girlfriend. I work in media and they show never leave loose ends in a story line.
Emma Ripley Maggie has being transfered out of national city division....
Emma Ripley
Kara and Brainy sounds like a good match to me
Melissa Nichols He always thought so
Me anytime James and Lena are on screen together: “No one asked for this.”
Great reaction, always look forward to these!
I'm sorry, most of this woman's commentary sounds idiotic as hell. She barely seems to understand the most basic stuff. And calling Manhunter a lunatic?? Totally senseless.
Also LMAO I never knew that people thought of Brainy as the new love interest. Amazing how that changed (I wasn't part of the online fandom at this point).
I think a reason why is because they're dating in comics alot and even have a daughter at one point, and Brainy was infact being considered to be her love interest in season 4 but they changed it.

It goes back to kreisberg who’s on record for threatening to give actors storylines that would make their fans upset and stop watching. Basically making the actor unpopular. That’s the only reason lames exists to get back at Katie for not taking his bs
They just forced it in No connection they went from dislike to like to fast unlike with her and brainiac 5 and that could go somewhere but with what they said in this episode with there DNA I dought he will stay
Jessica Queller is behind all this shit. She has to go.
shane daley pretty much every couple doesn’t like each other and get together Kara and Mon-el didn’t like each other and it happens on a lot of other shows and movies too! I ship James and Lena their both amazing and they like each other! People are getting mad that they have no chemistry but neither did a lot of other couples people see in shows! (This is just my opinion not being rude)♥️
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH, how I love the recap in 30 seconds xD Thanks for the reaction :) Take care!
fun fact streaky the cat is actually super cat in the comics. The cat does belong to supergirl and has most recently appeared in super sons annual which reintroduced the super pets. Although they imply streaky is female in that where Kara refereed to streaking as "he" in this episode

Idk how I found this channel but I'm addicted
Where's Superman??? Miss Martian and her multiple White Martian allies? The small army of super heroes that are just a push of a button on her interdimensional portal device away? Guardian, Wynn and Wynns gf? J'onns dad? That Batman guy who's been mentioned but not named? They spent most of this episode lamenting that they have no chance without Supergirl because it's her show, when they should've been gathering a huge force against her full of Kryptonians, Martians, Daxamites, speedsters, breachers, magic users...a rogue Kryptonian should really be an "all hands on deck" situation...
dupersuper1938 I think they really wanted to wrap and throw away a lot of unfinished side plots from s2 to have a more structured storyline
It boils down to budget issues. There isn't supposed to be another cross over this season. They'll probably bring in more heroes later, but I haven't heard of anymore casting being done yet.
dupersuper1938 everyone is just disappearing in thin air lol love this show though!
Her: “If I do nothing else in this life I would want to play a masked robber”.......
Me: Ummmm oh ok...
Her: “In a movie”
Me: Ohhhhh that makes more sense

The Kara Danvers identity thing has actually been pretty nice to watch develop across the season as far as I'm concerned.
We saw her lose touch with it because she's depressed over Mon-El leaving (and she's tired of putting herself out there emotionally and having 'human' connections only to lose them). We saw how that is because of her abandonment issues from when she was sent away in the pod (shown particularly in the fear episode when she realized she sent Mon-El away the same way she was sent away).
We saw how she lost someone on Earth when she was a teen to remind us that this is something that follows Kara. We saw that she didn't want to lose Alex along with everything else back then, so she embraced Kara Danvers and forgot about being a superhero to keep Alex safe (choosing the opposite of what she is now).

They did have the permission for "livin on a prayer" by Bonjovi. The director of that episode tweet about it

Streaky is also usually a super powered cat for one reason or another (Streaky the Supercat, the cat version of Kypto the Super Dog or Beppo the Supermonkey or Comet the Superhorse who all at one time joined the Legion of Super-Heroes as the Legion of Super-Pets because why not?). O and the Binary on Alex's cast translates to ":)". Other members include Lightning Lad, his sister Lightning Lass (a possible love interest for ALex) who shoot lightning, Cosmic Boy with magnetic powers, Mon-El (more known as a member of a legion than anything else, often being retconned into their inspiration when Superman was never Superboy), and about 20 other heroes so those pods could be filled (and in the future they are more open with things so a lot of possible love interests for ALex in there assuming it isn't Reign).
and i honestly thought Lena was gonna get closer to discovering Kara as Supergirl
Ruby looks 15 but acts like clingy 8 yr old. And how long are they going have Lena looking clueless with this Supergirl thing?
As long as they want she plays the friend out side of her supergirl life she needs that too
Lena and James may be forced but it did lead to the funny Lena/John-Kara scene
Kara's cat is from the comics... she also has a super horse...
Brainiac 5 is my favorite Legionaire from the comics and I'm rooting for him and Kara...
She dates that horse unknowingly and the horse has a crush on her.
@@TheStyleCutter lol kara dating a horse? Lol who wrote thise comics??
“That’s love bitch”
I died.
Technically, in the comics Worldkillers were a team of 5 genetically modified alien species and Reign was their leader, idk if they'll be introducing all the worldkillers or only some of them, but it'll be cool if they do introduce the entire team and how supergirl fights them off
Oh GOD I forgot how much I can't stand to watch Lames. This is amazing going back and watching these 2.5 years later. I'd almost completely forgotten most of this.
What do you have against James? You make sick noises when he appears with Lena - Just accept it.
No comment on Lena's outfit?
I wonder if this was a stealth pilot for the LoSH? So far so good.
And it struck me as odd that they took the time to get an unconscious Kara out of her damaged Supergirl costume and into a new one before putting her in the, uh, bacta tank.
what does the rings to make them fly
Have you aredy watch The runnaways?? Would be cool if you react to the episodes
Unfortunately she has. She did post a couple of 30 second reaction clips from the finale on her Twitter.
Kris Smith oh...thanks
"then go away" what a mood
gotta remember, this is a world where Kara probably could walk around in her supersuit with glasses, and the only person people would see would be the paper-employee. none of these people are any good at noticing patterns. not even people like Lana, who has more or less built her life around the practice. so, yeah.
There was kryptonite in the probe that the cult leader had. Alex threw it across the room before they buried the probe under the earth. In theory they recovered said kryptonite and have it on hand, but it is a limited amount. Presumably after this episode they are all out again.
Thanks for the reaction this way I do not have to spend 40 minuets watching it to be irritated 😤. Love Alex she is the reason I watch. My 9 year old daughter was sad when Alex and Maggie called off their wedding.
Speaking of girls, did you watch the promo for 3x11. It’s going to have girl power in there.
was waiting for this reaction lol i like the ep and i hope too see more of brainy aka brainiac 5
Everybody, Supergirl will go on a 9 week break after Feb 5. Will return on April 16.
that cup is keep looking at me like crazy
LENA IS SO SMART SHE NEEDS TO FIGURE IT OUT!!! Love her
the Leigon of Super Heroes exist in the 31st and are inspired by the family of EL. Yes Brainiac 5 and Kara have a romantic relationship. That cat is Streaky and his suspose to be orange.
Where did you get that shirt?! I love it and I want on
Do you think Sam and Ruby will be back next season?
I like how they had Supergirl in a Bacta tank.
Is not any more unrealistic that people can't tell Clark is Superman, and all he wears is a pair of glasses. Or Kara being Supergirl.
This isn't the first time you've seen brainiac in this show.. he/she was also in season 1. That blue girl called indigo was also a brainiac. they are all basically the same being. Just with updates. Think like how there is Windows 8 and Windows 10.
I'm over Lames. Yes, Lena would drop any and all plans for Kara. Yes, You're not the only one who thinks Kara finding herself is a plot we've seen before lol Great reaction!
Will you react to Black Lightning?
you know what piss me of? the amount of special effects and basically not fights, the villains escapes, James and Lena is the cherry in that disaster gross cake.
Beautifully said..."disaster gross cake"....LOL!
It's all because of budget, they can only spend so much per episode. I wasn't very happy with how they used Mon-el, they could have at least let him throw a few punches before being frozen.
thanks for another great recap I think I could get behind superbrain if we can't have supercorp keep up the great work.
- That 30 second "Here's what you missed" recap alone merits an upvote.
- I was so expecting some sort of comment on either Lena's dress or her Lana Parrilla evil cleavage.
BTW -“0011101000101001” decoded from Binary Code is: :)
If Kara can crush diamonds into existence from coal like Superman she could afford any apartment she wants.
What did you watch this on please tell me
is that a caity lotz cup on the bookshelf
Thats what I thought too. Was hoping I wasn't the only one who noticed it!
Does anybody else agree that it's just not the same without Maggie 😭😕😩
Brittani Franco I do! I LOVE MAGGIE SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️
Amanda Moskal 😖😖
You always make me smile but I don't even know if I want to watch this. I hate that we are here. I'm so jealous of your hair.
Thanks for that cactors comment, that made me laugh :-)
Kara/Brainy 😍
WB had a cartoon series for the Legion of Superheroes, if you are interested in learning about them. I recommend watching the cartoon, maybe it will help.
“What kind of grown ass woman plays nerf guns with her daughter “Ummm... a great mom??? She is playing with her daughter and making her happy like what??!?
Lena just seems...different now that she and James have become something and i don't like it. I like that Kara and Mon El had some healthy closure and I can't wait to see what's next for the Danvers sisters :D
I am a lil confused. El mayarah is the motto of the house of El.. Superman and Supergirl's family. Why did the witch tell Reign that? Reign is Kara Zor El's enemy and so that motto doesn't belong to her.
Are you going to be reacting to Black Lightning? One of the characters, the eldest daughter, is a lesbian!
why is he blue?
Maybe the point the writers are trying to make is that people can change. James because of his initial distrust for Lena (and the Luthors in general, given his history being Supermans best friend) is starting to like her, be less skeptical, and see her with a newfound respect because they're both defending Supergirl's reputation from guys like Morgan Edge (established in episode 1), and also they both want what's best For Catco, and for National City. Also, she's distancing herself from her family's criminal legacy (Lionel = corrupt, Lillian=corrupt, Lex= OBVIOUSLY corrupt). I don't have a problem with James and Lena being a couple. However, the real problem with them being together, in terms of how the story might unfold, has to do with secrets - namely Kara's and James's superhero identities of Supergirl and Guardian, and the labors the both of them are going to have to take in order to hide those identities from Lena the closer she gets to know the truth of their double identities. They've kind of been teasing things as to how Lena might react with learning either Kara or James's secret lives as heroes, but it could go either way: she could be okay with it - which would make sense to the fans because they WANT Lena to be understanding and fair, if a little left out of the loop for so long.
Then again .... as we've learned from Smallville, the comics, the movies.....most Luthors don't quite end up that way when it comes to Supers.
Personally, I love the scenes where James has to scramble and call Winn and J'onn to help out with covering for Kara, because I think in the next episodes, we're going to get a scene where Kara has to cover for James. I'm also figuring that maybe Lena walks in on James or Kara......in mid-costume change and is like "Dude, WTF?"
This is the kind of juicy intrigue you get normally with comicbook storylines, it's just fun to watch the drama of it all....well, you know, beyond the supervillain fight of the week. Personally, the fans going overboard with their ships is starting to make me roll my eyes a little, but live and let live. There's just so much more going on than just "I SHIP THIS OR THAT BECAUSE REASONS." But that's just me, respectfully. I just enjoy the intrigues and picking out the stuff I recognize from a lifetime of reading and following the comics, it was never about the ships for me. Just the characters and the story, and how it all unfolds. I don't get too attached to the characters because I know comicbook storylines, the stakes are life and death. But Im also a bit of a romantic, so I get it somewhat.
And I know most of you probably would not be able to deal if Lena got killed (not that her friends would let that happen) .... but Im jsut warning you guys up front: be careful who your shipping because the ship may not surive even a season. For those of you who dont read the comics and watch the shows, it's everything.
But for us, who know and follow the comics, we're looking at you guys and kinda cringing so hard because knowing what's (probably) going to happen - or not happen, as this is an adaptation and not a straight copy of certain storylines we know - enjoy the happiness while it lasts, but keep that box of tissues on standby. Then again, seeing as how most of you have survived 2 seasons of this drama already .... you got this!
El Mayara, mofos!
JM RONIN I hope Lena do die she don’t deserve the shit they’re doing to her and James ain’t did nothin to show his feelings about her has changed
Well, either way, James and Lena are happeneing, so I guess we're gonna have to wait and see what happens. I analyzed their scenes from last season and this season, and I'm of the belief that it's the secrets of their hero identities that are going to - at the least -drive a wedge between James, Lena, and Kara as three people. Kara's always confided in James as friend, she's close to Lena in the same way (yes, I know about Supercorp, and I acknowledge it....sorta exists in fan's head-canon as a thing, but I don't wanna get into a heated debate about it as I dont have any strong opinion for or against it to be fair).
Lena comes from a family who kept secrets from eachother all the time, so she has a lot of reason to distrust people growing up as a Luthor, and the negative legacy that name entails. How is she going to feel when she finds out her new love interest is moonlighting as Guardian, or that her best friend is actually National City's greatest hero?
Will a betrayal of her trust by them change their relationship completely by the end of this season? Will the writers even have her find out at all? Anybody';s guess, but Im waiting on a serious episode where Lena does eventually find out....and what hapens after that is likely to be some very nail-biting drama between Kara, James and Lena.
And possibly Lillian, if theres a chance she makes an appearnce (whaaaaaaaaaat?? Luthor mother and daughter team up against Guardian and Supergirl in a battle of wits and superstrength?
BRING. IT. ON!
But yeah, first they have to deal with Reign, lol!
JM RONIN Well said, I also watch to see the adaptation of some iconic storylines. I tire of the constant shipping as well, but to each their own i guess.
Where Did U Watch This AM DIEING TO SEE IT
“James and Lena share a kiss which left us all looking a bit like this 🙄 ..and a lil bit of this 😒”
And just a touch of 🤮
Their lack of chemistry is painful
Can you please do a reaction to Runaways? Maybe just to the Karolina/Nico scenes or even just talk about the show without doing a reaction . Whatver makes you feel most comofrtable . This show is so wonderful but it has almost no viability in the fandoms and I would love to see cool reactors like you taking about it
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the 1080p quality camera.
you should watch black lightning its a very good show
Dem right, u are not a match!😂
Will you react to the flash and blacklightning?
I agree Monel wayyy beyter in season 3!! Character development
In season 4, brainiac 5 will have romantic angle with Dreamer
braniac 5 wrote this 0011101000101001 on alex's cast which means in English :)
I can’t tell it’s her with the mask on
Ruby's 12, Nerf guns are always cool shuddup.
James' amazing kissing ability? Give me a break. UHG .... Rain hurt Alex, hell no.
I still believe Karamel will happen, unfortunately. They're building Mon-El as a decent person so we'll like him and accept him with Kara. Which I don't wanna. I won't get started on Lena and James, cause that's just ridiculous. James never liked Lena. Ever. They interact for two seconds and he's into it? It'd make more sense Lena with her assistent Eva than with him.
you should watch black lightning, there will be an lgbt poc couple
why is her glasses dusty like she never used it for a long time
True true we need more than the identity thing and the fear thing. How about existential crisis being the only living kryptonian citizen. I mean superman is more of earth than Krypton. She actually remembers this shit. How about being a sneaky journalistic thing and actually using her detectiveness, how about getting shit faced drunk at the alien bar and sneaking lena at the bar thing, how about appearing at civil court due to all the damages she has made at national city as supergirl and now has to do community service thing, How about lena luthor doing your taxes cause kara danvers dont understand jack shit. How about someone asking the question like if reign is going around and breaking shit, whose running L-CORP cause Sam arias is not there....many things
Yeah I know it's weird and stuff and I just found out your channel ... but I would like to know your social media ... is that weird?
Oof I miss season 3 Brainy and all the karadox.
I love your reaction videos
Tbh u should really watch the 100 its really good and clarck (idk how u spell it but) lexa..best couple ever
I don't like Mon-El and Imra for 2 reasons.
1) I hate Mon-El.
2) 6 year old me watched Legion of Super Heroes when it was on Saturday morning on the Kids WB and shipped her with Lightning Lad. Over ten years later I'm still shipping them and her being with Mon-Hell is putting holes in my ship.
Also Mon-El has a wife in the comics. Why not have her be the wife, and still have Saturn Girl in one of the pods? (Sounds of frustration)
Also in this house we ship Kara and Brainy.
I absolutely have a crush on you lol
Love you!
Emily I really like your reactions most of the time on Supergirl, however, I feel I need to challenge you to your perspectives of Ep 10, I don’t know how much of those comments you read, I know your busy, but it would be so great to chat, are you up for a challenge, ....
One thing I couldn't stand about this show is Superman is now a psychopath. His beloved cousin is near death, all over the news, and he is a no show? CW if you introduce Superman he shows up. He may leave and let her fight her own fight but his no show is disgraceful. Shame on ya. Otherwise great show.
Love your laugh
An observation. This show needs better writers.
don't like the scene were Ruthless Reign broke Alex legs.. maybe DC has. to bring Wonder Woman to the team DEO....cus these Riegn Gal is hurting Everyone.......
