With that disclaimer, the two-hour series finale, which aired on November 9, certainly threw everything the show had into it, including the kitchen sink, in terms of satisfying its fans. The list of moments spanning two episodes included the return of the original cast, a wedding, a funeral, a musical duet, a very massive (if chaotic) superhero fight, and finally a much-secret-identified “I Iron”. Man” disclosure.
The main storyline throughout the season involves a lengthy battle with fifth-dimensional Nyxly (Peta Sargent) and Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer), who take the exhausting step of kidnapping a child in order to drive superfriends really crazy.
The villains were defeated, somewhat counterintuitively, at the start of the final hour, given the time to introduce the long-awaited marriage of Alex (Chyler Leigh) and Kelly (Ezzie Tesfaye), who was set to be Kara and Lena (Katie). McGrath), and Kara finally realizes that she was denying her “perfect self” by being a “divided” existence.
However, to reach that point, Supergirl has always needed to let go of her impulse to become the savior of the world, following the “Be All That You Can Be” sequence in which she told the world, “We need every single person.” There is a need to actively empower yourself to be the hero of your own life.”
Yet the “Supergirl” finale also displayed ticks that represent a special addition to the series, with its heavy-handed delivery of “be your own hero” message and a dragged-down showdown with Nyxly and Lex. , which includes Supergirl draining. The Sun’s power to super-charge itself to counter them.
All told, “Supergirl” had a decent run around Benoist’s portrayal of a superhero who could be both strong and weak. But if the last two hours went the extra mile in trying to shed some tears to fans, they also reinforced why the series had gotten to the point where it was clearly time to fly into the sunset.
“Supergirl” is produced by Warner Bros. Television, which, like CNN, is a unit of WarnerMedia.
