It has been some time, however Kara and the remainder of the gang are lastly again with Supergirl’s last run of episodes!
Supergirl Season 6 has been a little bit of a disappointment thus far, however Supergirl Season 6 Episode eight could possibly be the spark that turns issues round for the Lady of Metal and her Tremendous Pals.
Kara’s time within the Phantom Zone affected her greater than we beforehand thought, and, in consequence, we noticed her undergo from PTSD on “Welcome Again, Kara!”
Whereas Supergirl could be very a lot rooted in aliens and all features of a superhero life, there must be humanity ingrained in it as effectively. In any other case, the viewers has nothing to narrate to.
And with Kara being raised by people, she will be able to’t assist however be affected by human feelings.
What a distinction a solar makes.
Zor-El
The Phantom Zone is a jail world that’s meant to mess with its prisoners psychologically. And simply because Kara is Supergirl, that does not imply that she is proof against psychological well being points.
All through the episode, she handled lingering fears and unfavorable feelings associated to her time within the Phantom Zone, and it was completely heartbreaking.
Whereas Alex and the remainder of the crew had Kara’s greatest pursuits at coronary heart, it was apparent that she was not okay and wanted an outlet for all of her emotions.
As a substitute, they did not inform Kara in regards to the phantoms that terrorized Nationwide Metropolis and tried to keep away from any speak in regards to the Phantom Zone.
…I do not suppose I ever wish to hear the phrase “phantom” ever once more. Not in an opera. Not in a Star Wars prequel, particularly not in a Star Wars prequel. I do not even suppose I might deal with an episode of Scooby Doo proper now.
This was very counterproductive as a result of, for almost all of the episode, Kara skilled flashes of the jail world Lex despatched her to. Ignorance was clearly not bliss on this situation.
Fortunately, Kara had speak together with her father that reassured her it was okay to be human each as soon as and some time.
She acknowledged her ache and determined to show to the one that is aware of her one of the best — Alex.
Kara and Alex’s relationship is the center of this present, and their scene in the direction of the top of the hour proved that.
Alex is aware of precisely what to say to Kara and the best way to consolation her, and vice versa. They honestly are one another’s individual, and it is fantastic to see them reunited after spending a number of episodes aside.
Whereas Kara was depressing within the Phantom Zone, Alex was depressed, as effectively. She knew that her sister was struggling and thought that she would possibly by no means see her once more.
Now, as the 2 of them mentioned, they’ll heal from their trauma collectively and transfer ahead stronger than ever.
Kara wasn’t the one one to flee from the Phantom Zone with a little bit of trauma.
Zor-El determined to spend a while along with his daughter earlier than touring to Argo Metropolis to reunite with Alura. And, as soon as once more, an alien used a pair of glasses as a disguise at CatCo.
Zor-El tried to resolve the local weather disaster in his first couple of days on Earth because of a rubbish island off the coast of Nationwide Metropolis and a falling satellite tv for pc.
Males like Lex all ascribe to the identical motto — cheaper, sooner, simpler. Irrespective of the harm.
J’onn
He noticed that the planet was taking place the identical route Krypton was taking place that led to its destruction, which he blames himself for.
This storyline felt a bit pressured and like a method to incorporate local weather develop into the present, nevertheless it led to the Tremendous Pals preventing a rubbish monster, so it is laborious to complain.
For some motive or one other, the character of Zor-El felt very stiff and unrelatable. Maybe that’s the reason his want to save lots of Earth was a tad bit boring and why we nonetheless discover him suspicious.
However, his speak along with his daughter close to the top of the hour is the place he really shined.
I’ll have made lots of errors in my life, however the one factor that went proper was you. You’re stong and caring, and have constructed a fantastic life. However, Kara, you need not carry the load of this world or any world in your shoulders each second of every single day. Typically, though you’re Kryptonian, it is okay to be human.
Zor-El
We, the viewers, have identified and beloved Kara for nearly six seasons now, so it is at all times good to see others reward her, as effectively. And, as talked about earlier than, Zor-El was the one one who instructed Kara that it was okay to be human.
Possibly their relationship might have developed into one thing really particular if this wasn’t the final season. However as a result of it’s, the writers made the best name to ship Zor-El to Argo Metropolis to reunite along with his spouse.
It is time to give attention to Nationwide Metropolis and the group of heroes that we have now grown to like over the seasons.
“Welcome Again, Kara!” did not actually arrange future episodes by way of bodily threats, moreover the final scene the place Nia awakened abruptly and mentioned, “Nyxly.”
Nevertheless, we love the truth that the present is refocusing on CatCo and Andrea.
Nia: Lena, I might do something to have one other day with my mother.
Lena: I might do something to only know my mother.
Andrea has been an exquisite addition to the present, and it could be unbelievable if she had been the one main the cost into determining Supergirl’s actual identification.
In fact, she solely instructed William to get nearer to the Tremendous Pals and create a powerful bond with them. Nevertheless it feels as if this storyline will result in Andrea publishing Supergirl’s identification to spice up CatCo’s scores.
If so, then Kara is in for a wild experience on these last episodes.
What did you suppose, Supergirl Fanatics?
Does anybody else nonetheless discover Zor-El suspicious? Are you content that the present is lastly finished making an attempt to drive Kara and William to be a pair? How unbelievable was Kara’s reference to Iris’s article from The Flash Season 7 Episode 4?
Are you excited to search out out extra about Lena’s origins? And what does Nyxly have in retailer for the crew?
