BEFORE “SUPERGIRL” even premiered, multiple critics dubbed the CBS drama as one of the strongest new pilots of the fall TV season. It is a pretty solid episode — though there’s one scene that stands out as a bit defensive.
You know the one: After National City is in awe of the female hero who saved a commercial plane, Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist) is thrilled that everyone finally saw her alter-ego’s superpowers. Until she hears a TV news anchor say that her boss, media magnate Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart), dubbed the hero “Supergirl.”
Kara storms into Cat’s office. “Supergirl?!” she exclaims. “We can’t name her that!”
Cat gives her a cold look. “We didn’t,” she responds.
“Right. I’m sorry,” says Kara, flustered.” It’s just – I don’t want to minimize the importance of this. A female superhero! Shouldn’t she be called Superwoman? … If we call her Supergirl, something less than what she is, doesn’t that make us guilty of being anti-feminist? Didn’t you say she’s a hero?”
At this point, Cat delivers her best death stare: “I’m the hero!” she says. “I stuck a label on the side of this girl. I branded her. … And what do you think is so bad about ‘girl’? I’m a girl. And your boss. And powerful and rich and hot and smart. So if you perceive Supergirl as anything less than excellent — isn’t the problem you?”
everything is OFFENSIVE
