New Supersuit ?

I couldn't post a picture in the article from the front page, so I'm doing it here.

Here's the suit.

Lord Mesa's already on it.

He is always ready with the drawings.

One word: G-A-R-B-A-G-E!

She isn't Superman, she isn't Reign, she isn't Captain *&^%$!! Marvel or Batwoman. She's Supergirl! They've butchered the suit design for a refresh and completely tossed out the first rule for this character: Don't fix what wasn't broken!

So disregard a suit that makes it easier for her to take a comicbook character off the page and onto the screen?...........ok

You are wanting a human being to look exactly like a comicbook character and do all the things that character does....for 7 possibly plus years.......ok

Don't have an answer for ya......just not realistic.

So either stay upset about it and allow it to ruin your enjoyment of the series, or wish Melissa the best, and enjoy what is probably one of the best portrayals of a comicbook character onscreen. That is a choice, Melissa's ability to do this longterm is reality.

I think Martian Manhunter should wear shorts....

I wanna see James in a speedo.

I wanna see James in a speedo.

Uuuummmmmmmmm.........no.

I am glad they didn't go this direction.....

Just not into the undies on the outie look.

And, I'm glad they kept the cape and didn't go the Smallville way....



And whoa thank goodness they didn't leave Captain Marvel in this.....

Concerning the suit.....

Glad they didn't:

1. Add gloves. Though Overgirl's looked cool, I like our Supergirl without. Keeps her suit a bit more "free" looking--a bit more lighthearted, might be a better way to describe what I'm thinking.

2. Add a rise in the back heel like Alex's suit. I realize that might be to give Chyler more height as Director, and that Melissa is already tall. But, I prefer a flatter boot anyway. I would think Chyler's angled boots are harder to fight in? That's just me.

Concerning the hair.....

Was just re-watching this season's last two episodes, and had the thought that with the shorter bangs and shorter hair, might be harder for her stunt double to hide her face amongst her hair like she does. Her "move" was especially noticeable during the Supergirl/Red Daughter fight. Personal preference would be hurry up and grow out the bangs. But, I'm sure we'll all get use to the hair and the suit rather quickly.

I'm hoping they let them continue to grow out, and don't trim them to keep them consistently short all season. But yeah, I'm sure we'll acclimate, one way or the other.

I noticed something. The photo in Instagram that David posted with Melissa, Jesse and Chyler in Medbay was the old suit.

So, we will get the old suit for some scenes. May be they will change it in episode 1?

To the hair, my hope is that that means she will be going back to doing more of the hand to hand stunts like she did in Seasons 1 and 2. If that is the case? Keep the haircut please. I hate it when the stunt double does that, it was REALLY noticeable.

Just watched new video clips of Melissa in the suit on set. From the back, you can't even tell a difference. Only real difference is pants. Seems like a lot of discourse over something that's not even really going to stand out like a few episodes in   Thing I'll miss about the skirt though? The breaking up of the blue. What I most definitely WON'T miss? Those panty hose always looked so uncomfortable. Hated the 90's at church just for that reason. bah ha ha I also totally will NOT miss the fake muscles inside the suit. bah ha ha ha

I am soooooo glad the arm padding is gone....gone....gone.

Overall, the new suit is okay. I wish it were a little closer to the Overgirl design, personally. But it's not bad. I do still wish they'd done something more at the waist and hips to break up the blue.

I think she looks good in the new suit.

I'd have liked a bit more red, like blue in Mon El's suit, but I love the belt (and it is not Kal's).

The bangs I have never been a fan of, but that is more a matter of personal taste. It is possible they have some in-story reason for moving to bangs and it is not an actor choice. Even if it is, that is fine.

Upon a closer look, the suit actually looks much like Tyler's Superman. Also, now that they've made the switch, it allows them to refresh said suit much like they do Flash's and Green Arrow's. Still missing Flash's chin strap, however

Ok, I have resigned myself to having to ask. What are hair "bangs"? (My ignorance may be down to me being outside the US, or perhaps hair for me personally is a bit of a distant memory.)
