I believe that one of the reasons why we believe that Kara/ Supergirl’s disguise is terrible, and why we couldn’t understand how Lena didn’t figure it out, it’s because the show was made for us to see both Kara as Supergirl and Supergirl as Kara.

But we forget that Lena did not have this privilege. To her Supergirl was this cold, subdued-anger, ultimate judgment, world on her shoulders figure/symbol. Who had an ever present frown, entitled attitude, brawn for brains, and challenging speech to her enemies.

While on the opposite side was Kara. Smiley, goofy, oblivious, clueless about dangers from both the world and the baggage Lena has.

The only time you see Kara frown (Lena is either not looking) or it’s directed to people who already know who she is eg: Alex, J’onn, Winn and Lena after finding out.

The only time you see Supergirl be goofy, smile or show any hint of personality it’s never near Lena s2-s4. Only towards Alex, J’oon, kids, Winn, Mon-El, Nia, Brainy, M’gan.

Thank you for reading.

Where is Sam season 4 and post-Crisis?

I know it’s been brought up before, but Sam is a core relationship and person to Lena’s past. They are best friends “sisters” even and I refuse to believe her disappearance isn’t a massive plot hole. Let’s consider a couple of key moments Sam should’ve been brought up.

First and foremost season 4 Lex being released from prison?? Hello, your best friend’s maniac brother is on the loose, maybe a phone call would work. The irony of Lena snapping at Kara for not being there for her while Alex and even Supergirl were was also not lost on me.

Second, Lena finding out Kara is SUPERGIRL!!! To set the scene Lena finds out the her best friend is a kryptonian while Sam, her other best friend, had a wild awakening for being one as well a year before! There is literally no one better to talk to about whatever she was feeling than Sam. Moreover not only was Sam a kryptonian and knew and saw Supergirl’s struggles, but Sam was Reign!!! and for a while both Kara’s friend and Supergirl’s villain. She had front row seats to Supergirl’s hypocrisy and her poorly played split personality. To top it all off Lena had lied to Sam for her own good in order to protect Sam and because she doesn’t really trust people which was obviously not the same situation as with Kara but still, we can see some similarities that they could’ve talked about. But instead of doing so, Lena builds an AI puts it in Eve Tesmacher’s body OF ALL PEOPLE to serve as her emotional support/sounding board. (I refuse to believe that actually happened)

Third, Lena brings Andrea back into her life?! If you ever had a best friend I’m sure you’d have some reticence before allowing said best friend to bring a toxic lying ex back into their lives for god sake. Like no matter what, that decision should’ve been double checked. I love the Lena backstory with Andrea it really thickens the plot, but if I was Sam I would’ve given Lena a quick reality check on why that was a bad idea.

Fourth!!!! Post-Crisis!!!! Okay so reality changed and let’s say maybe Sam and Lena never met. But Lena kept her memories, and as (a platonic best friend according to the writers) Kara checks/makes sure that Lena remembers their complicated history first thing after saving the world, why on earth prime wouldn’t Lena do the same with Sam if they are so best friends and so platonic. But let’s say they indeed didn’t meet, I have even more questions. How did the Harun-El come to life? Was Sam Reign? Did they save her and then just moved on? how did they even realize she was Reign. And if Sam was not Reign how in the world did she get to Earth and what in the world was with the witches of the cult popping up 5th season. Will Sam become Reign? is she dormant? I have so many questions that Lena, Alex, Brainy, Kara should have too!

Side notes to that argument I have:

no thoughts just Lena on Lana music. Gosh she’s so baby girl / sad girl coded.

This is for the writers who kept Supercorp alive and ever growing:

I imagine this conversation happening between the super friends and Sam

Winn: I know Lena was mad that Kara was Supergirl. Hurt most probably would be a better word and I understand why…

Nia: But couldn’t she have been just a little bit turned on that her best friend has been bridal carrying her with any excuse possible. a literal knight in shining armor.

Sam: I refuse to believe she wasn’t.

Sometimes i just randomly remember that (Teri Hatcher) Rhea and Lilian (Brenda Strong) met before in Desperate Housewives.

It’s kind of poetic how they met again after Rhea killed her husband and Lilian was widowed, because one of them wanted to set their children up and the other was against that affair. —OH and displayed Lena’s mommy issues in the process.
