I just watched 6x08 and it hurt my heart to see our baby struggling with her PTSD. Here is a little compliation of the moments that gave a sharp tug on the ol' heart strings. All rights to the CW.
God it hurts to see her like this but FINALLY. the show almost never acknowledges the things Kara has been through, this is like a painful breath of fresh air.
Shades of Rocky V. Lingering effects of survival. The only way this brilliant story is tarnished is by having Supergirl endure near death experiences multiple times per season.
I think this is one of the few times where the show has actually showed Kara's trauma/ emotional state. Usually by the next episode she seems fine and dandy and that trauma isn't really brought up again
The thing is like Melissas acting is INCREDIBLE just as a person she’s been through so much in her life and now she’s happily married and has a baby boy. Kara is my comfort character I can’t really explain how but I just love her so much. In way idk if anyone else will agree but her playing supergirl has taught be to always be true to my self and know my worth and be kind to others and to love my self more. I’m not sure if that makes any sense but that’s how I look at it. I love the show so much and can’t wait to watch season 6 :) Have a good day everyone:)
Kara's my comfort character, too. This whole show feels like a hug during heartbreak. It hurts, and sometimes we laugh through the pain, and sometimes we just let it swell over us and pour from our eyes.
honestly of all the heroes in the arrowverse she might have the most trauma forced to see her planet die trapped in the phantom zone all while she was just a child maybe therapy would do her some good so she can put this all behind her and move on
Great video! Melissa and Chyler are so great in emotional scenes! I believe that’s partly because these two have such a great friendship and bond in real life. I’m truly going to miss the Danvers sisters. They have the best sister relationship!
That was the main issue of this show. The writers never focused on Kara- they were lucky that despite sidelining Kara a lot, Melissa’s performance constantly shone through that it was enough to keep the show ongoing. Had Melissa decided to continue they would’ve kept going but it still wouldn’t be about Kara, and that’s the sad part.
Exactly!!!!! Like there was about from Winn, Brainy, Dreamer, and Kara wasnt the Center a Lot. And I find more interesting Kara's or Alex's back story than the Martian ManHunter 😂, it seems to lack maturity BUT when powerful scenes like This AMAZING sister Bond with Chyler Leigh and Melissa Bennoist, or when we can see Kara/Supergirl real struggle, the show grows a lot on maturity, storyline, character development.
Isn't it funny how she was going yo raise superman as baby and her being 14 but now that the roles changed and she 14 and he is like around 25 he just leaves her day one with people she don't know after she lost everything she ever known🤨i mean........... why dose she still love him🤔, him being the her only family just to leave like that i would have probably have a panic attack especially because she just lost everything even her purpose on top of him just leaving
Oh dang... Good point. That's another reason for her to get therapy. I mean, she even asks James in the first episode of Season 1, "What is he like, in person?" Which means she doesn't see him much...
@@diamondly6250 Yeah, they brought in her anger in Season 1, but it was nothing compared to the comics, from what I hear. I never read the comics, so my first introduction to Supergirl was through the CW show, so I still love Kara (and Melissa Benoist; she shows a huge range of emotions really well), but I would love to see the comic version of Supergirl in a modern show.
It's a bit funny when Kara suffers from things like panic attacks and PTSD, and believes she shouldn't because she's not human. Physically speaking, yes she's not like most people on earth....but everything else about her is human..
Hey you! Though everyone will leave you and break your heart…The only Person that will not is Jesus Christ. He loves you so much and is always there for you. Just seek Him! Have a blessed day💖
Melissa was great but the fact they did this to the character is where the tv show lost any thread of the strong Kryptonian that is Kara Zor-El Supergirl should never have been made to look this pathetic. I stopped watching at this episode
