Oh no , someone take theBlack Widow SNLsketch and turned it into a real serial . CBS just bring out its first trailer for the Supergirl show and it is so depressingly paint - by - numbers we had to list the cliches off . But halfway in , it gets adept .

This is cheerless . Why must this big , awe-inspiring female - led superhero series cater to the most generic part of the presumed female TV marketplace place ? It ’s a girl show , and what do girls like ? Dating , having it all , boys ! I one-half expect Supergirl ’s hound to break and Jimmy Olsen to beguile her . We wish the cast behind this serial , and the second half of the trailer ( when it is focused on actually kick ass ) has a glimmering of promise . But the whole first half really feel like He ’s Just Not That Into Your Bride Wars Lose A Guy In 10 day . rent us count the way :

spicy best friend who is in love with the chief theatrical role , but the main character does n’t foot up on this for incomprehensible reasons .

Main reference has a stinky task and wishes for more , anything more .

Dji Drone

Main character in reality ensure carrying umber , looking frazzle , doing frazzled things .

Devil Wears Prada knob .

Lecture about women’s liberation movement that does really make signified when its coming from a person who treats hoi polloi like crap .

Ms 0527 Jessica Jones Daredevil Born Again

Main character is deemed plain because she don a PONY TAIL AND deoxyephedrine .

Hot unexampled guy rope talks to principal character , main character forgets how to speak .

primary character is living in a demented launch pad that she could n’t possibly afford fetching coffee .

Amazon Arzopa

Angry guy distinguish principal character to “ go back to incur someone ’s deep brown . ”

We ’re not the only unity to notice the harebrained similarity to the SNL sendup .

I ’ll admit I started to turn halfway in when the series became more about her being a superhero and a person . And the cape schtick was both cute and comic .

Plus Melissa Benoist seems like a really good conniption for Supergirl , hopefully we can keep the light tone of the series but turn back front adulterate it with romcom retreads . We ’re rooting for you Supergirl . But what did you think ?
