    Well. I love the boots, Seriously love the boots. I'm just not sure about this actress. She doesn't seem to have the charisma I'd want for Supergirl. She's actually kind of bland here.

    She just needs to dye her hair a bit blonder and she will be perfect

    Maybe that's what I'm missing. She needs to go full on blonde or full on dark if they want to vary from the comic. At least put some serious highlights in.

    I personally think she looks great. I like the darker tone of the costume and "S" logo is pretty damn cool. Can't wait to see her in action.

    I will give her a chance, i will still watch the show, but i am just saying i am disappointed, because i really hated her in Glee, but on the other side, everything about glee is terrible lately (sadly). And i was also hoping for Claire Holt, so that disappointed me too. I hope she will prove me wrong and will perform very well so i can enjoy the show

  30. AdorableAU6 March 2015 at 22:04

    ^^ that actress makes me think of Ginny from Harry Potter tbh rather than Kara.
    Also, I think I can say I prefer every single outfit Kara had in SV over that. Even this (which I wasn't originally crazy of and liked her season 7 looks better) I think I prefer. Now that seems modern, alive (maybe a slightly different shades of these) and does make me think of SG.
    Gosh I loved that Kara.
    But that's just me. Maybe I'll watch the pilot anyways.

  38. Rjupiter6 March 2015 at 22:26

    I actually like who they picked to play her, at least she doesn't look like a fucking playboy bunny playing dress up but a real woman, the costume needs a bit of work.

  39. AdorableAU6 March 2015 at 22:28

    This is the first I see this actress tbh and she just doesn't seem right (the lack of blonde ain't helping. Yes, I'm sorry Kara has to be blonde) and true about Laura. Laura & Nicholle Tom (from Animated Superman series & Justice League) are Kara...heck, even Helen Slater sort of (she's the first to play the role live after all) but certainly Laura & Nicholle.

    Slap an S on it and it would fit perfectly in Arrow/Flash! (Which I do watch and love!)

  41. AdorableAU6 March 2015 at 22:32

    Funny enough:
    "The costume for Supergirl was designed by Colleen Atwood, who also designed the costumes for TV’s The Flash and Arrow" (from TVline)
    how they got to this after doing both Arrow & Flash? it doesn't look remotely similar. Anyway, I was happy Kara finally gets her TV show despite the changes and such but this might be too much. It doesn't feel like SG.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Aylass016 March 2015 at 22:37

    I have to agree. I don't have a problem with the costume per se, I mean, it's just ok, but the actress doesn't look "super", Laura did, just look at her in this picture!
    But of course, I'll wait and see, but so far, not a very good first impression.

    Comparing both actresses: Laura is basically standing, the other girl is trying a pose and yet Laura looks much, much more powerful/fierce. You're right, the girl they cast doesn't look "Super" she just looks like a cute girl I guess.

    As for the outfit *sigh*. If you go for the classic-ish look (though now that I see that LV picture I think Arrow/Flash look really might have just been the way to go) at least have it brighter,fuller,more colorful this is just ...depressing.

  47. AdorableAU6 March 2015 at 23:35

    Been trying to cut that black background thing out and I still find it pretty depressing with those colors lol and why would they put her in that kind of setting? black background to an already too dark/bleak outfit? if they were going for hope I got a different feeling.

    This whole thing doesn't sit right with me regarding the character and even with the actress they picked this seems completely wrong. I mean just look at that sweet smile and then her dark outfit & background. 0 sense.

    I never watched SV's final tbh so idk lol I do know I hate MOS's outfit and this kinda makes me think of it.

    I wish I could be optimistic but well...

    OY that was a mess... talk about a costume that's hard to pull off....

    And objectively even the Supergirl uniform can look a little silly. This looks as least silly as it possibly can. I'll take it.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Bruce_F7 March 2015 at 03:57

    Exactly. They muted the color a bit like they did for the feature film Supes suit Cavil wore without going too far and it's not skin tight because this is CBS after all. There's only so much you can do with a bright red and blue body suit with a huge cape attached.

    "It'll do" seems to sum it up best.

    An aside:

    The dlisted website had the funniest take on Melissa Benoist in her costume:

    I’m not really getting Supergirl from this. I’m getting “know-it-all
    honor student who really wants to be popular and shows up to yearbook
    picture day in a Supergirl costume because she thinks that’s cute.    ”

    Eh... Smallville was never too subtle with it's costuming... they were absolutely aiming for a more campy & comic-book-y effect but is worked in the context of that show.

    Laura had the look of Supergirl but she wasn't a very strong actress. I've never seen this girl in Glee but I enjoyed her acting in Whiplash. Overall I'm not a fan of a Supergirl show. However, I'll give it a wait and see approach.

    ReplyDelete
  73. O D A7 March 2015 at 13:03

    The costume is good. I like it especially the boots. You know what is missing the actress does not project that confidence of a superhero in this photo. She looks like just another beautiful girl in a dress. I am sure she will be better in the series. But there is a lack of fierceness in this photo which makes it dull. Amelia and Stephanie in last episode of Grey's Anatomy had more of the superman attitude than this photo.

  81. AdorableAU9 March 2015 at 20:22

    I honestly was never bothered with her age. While she wasn't a teen and was in her early 20's (Laura, if I calculated right she was 23 when S7 aired), but she had such a fresh, young-ish looks to her. I think to me she felt 18-19 when she first appeared (and with Kara's: "that what happens when you touch my stuff", "I guess the humans are right, Kal-El. Girls do mature faster than boys" she did came off teen-ish [not to mention that watermelon thingy]),
    so in the late teens to Kara, but that ain't too bad...she was still plenty of young and valid to be called Supergirl. And my gosh, she was a great SG! she actually got me interested in the character. The only person to ever get me to buy a comic book (ok 2 lol) and watch the animated episodes/movies with Kara (hell, even the live movie with Helen Slater).

    ReplyDelete
  82. AdorableAU9 March 2015 at 21:02

    "Eh"? this look is absolutely awesome and would absolutely make a million times more sense than the actual SG pilot's photos. It's contemporary and I can see it in Arrow/Flash-verse. It's bold and colorful in very good ways. This makes much more sense for a Supergirl (and a girl) set in the "dark and gritty .. "/current times to wear. This actually screams more SG to me than the picture above does (though it is closer to the comics design)...maybe the darkness/bleakness and blonde-less has to do with it (and the lack of fierceness) I'm sorry, but I'm not really feeling it.

    There's nothing wrong with campy & comic-booky, these characters are from the comic books why is it so bad SV embraced it? (and you know whom else) why is it so bad to show off a little color? we live in a colorful world. Like I said, I didn't watch SV through until the end, and I never cared for so many of the superheroes/heroes that have appeared in, it but I don't remember having problem with their outfit. (Clark's constant Red/Blue jacket with his Red/Blue shirt was annoying at some point because seems like all he was wearing lol vs. variety he had the first couple of seasons IIRC). *sigh* if I sound frustrated I'm sorry... it's not you, it's DC/WB and constant thinking that darker is better/more realistic and should be implied to all their superheroes including Clark and now Kara despite they supposed to represent hope.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Folie-lex9 March 2015 at 21:05

    I know that back then Laura was still in the age group that would be cast for late teen. And I'm in no way saying she looked old.

    But I've always pictured Kara as more of a fresh faced young teenage GIRL. And I think Laura looked more womanly that girly regardless of how she acted and what she said.

    ReplyDelete
  84. AdorableAU9 March 2015 at 21:12

    You kinda did when you said "I thought she was too old" maybe you meant age wise though.

    Either way, just gonna have to disagree because IMHO she was more than fine,she really was super! a late-teen-ed Kara, still looking fresh/young, being fierce and having sass. She honestly was flawless to me (and I hated SV for kicking her out lol)

    ReplyDelete
  85. Folie-lex9 March 2015 at 21:25

    You're being overly defensive here. I didn't say anything bad about Smallville...

    I was never a big fan of it, sure... I was casual viewer at best. But I've never been critical of the show. It was pretty good for what it was. And good on them for embracing the camp!
    As I said what the show did worked in the context OF the show. So yeah kudos!!

    However some of the things didn't appeal to me personally (which is what never had me invest in the show 100%).
    The heavy handed foreshadowing colour pallet of Clark's (and later Kara's) outfits was one of those things. As you said, it turned out to be repetitive.
    And again let me repeat: it worked for the show! But for me personally, "Eh" pretty much sums it.

    And you're right, about the dark=better mentality. I don't necessarily agree with the approach. But I think depending on what tone you're going for in your show, you need to adjust accordingly to fit the world.
    If you're going for something more realistic and muted, throwing in bright colours would imbalance the feel. In my professional opinion (and for the record: this is actually my profession) it wouldn't show "hope" it would show inconsistency in the world.

  86. Folie-lex9 March 2015 at 21:27

    I mean that she looked like she was too old for the part. Not she was actually too old.

  87. AdorableAU9 March 2015 at 22:02

    I'm being overly defensive because the impression I got from your post that it was a bad thing...(posts don't make a sound & I read the "eh") but yes, I admit it's kinda of a touchy subject this whole DC thing. It wasn't about offending SV it was about the "campy, comic-booky" which sounded as a criticizem so I jumped because I'm tired of DC fans keep saying how it's such a bad thing and how things need to be toned down. I'm kinda passionate about this subject and I misread. I'm sorry.
    Do not regret criticizing the picture/outfit though, it honestly bugs.


    I honestly didn't read that with your first paragraph, this makes things more clear. Thanks! I donno if I can call it "camp", comic booky seems more right because with colors and design I think it was more closer to the books.

    And yeah, I disagree. I think that outfit could absolutely work in Arrow/Flash world, the thing that stands out/doesn't work IMHO is the one they actually came up with (and I absolutely feel passionately that Kara should be blonde).



    Hopefully you realize I wasn't defensive because of SV. I'm just tired of DC lol and IMHO their misguidance.
    I actually loved Kara's wardrobe it didn't just had Red and Blue (in a form of very nice clothes and different types of clothes) it also had some White...(heh, and her hair was the Yellow I guess :p) Clark's I really enjoyed in the first seasons before it was so much of the same Red/Blue jacket with the same Reid/Blue shirt lol but yes, I enjoyed the colors references even if it was so obvious. I find it endearing and charming but maybe that's just me lol



    See, but if they need to adjust to fit the world Kara certainly should be looking more of a super-current-kickass type (LV pic with that pants and jacket etc.) no? and we absolutely disagree here I feel because you still think she should muted and I feel she should still retain some of her colors, be the hope in this dark universe, be a bit contrasted to the brooding Arrow :p
    because after all: Supergirl (she should be so dark/serious)



    but yeah, well, we're just gonna have to disagree and see what happens.

    ReplyDelete
  88. AdorableAU9 March 2015 at 22:09

    Um....
    I think Kristin (Lana) and Allison (Chloe) actually looked a lot like teens and the actor playing Pete. But yeah, teens on TV aren't really teens. Again I guess there'll be a difference because it never bothered me in SV (that I can remember). And I did not see Kara & Clark very close in age.
