Stargirl on the CW

I hope Stargirl's pilot tonight is decent (is there even a thread here for that show?). Like what I saw from her fighting Sportsmaster and the members of the Injustice Society, so could shape up to be a good series.

Didn't even know there was a Stargirl show...or if I heard about it I forgot about it

Think they were a day off, because I only saw the usual stuff with Supergirl last night, and my TV schedule says it starts tonight, so... shrug

However it turns out though, at least it won't be the Batwoman pilot.

Ah.

The pilot of this was okay. Actually a breath of fresh air after the remainder of the recent Flash season. Seemed like they just kinda burned out with Barry after Crisis.

They REALLY burned out on Supergirl, too. Batwoman hung steady at fairly interesting, I don’t even know (or care) what happened to Black Lightning, and Legends remained good.
Still, w. those shows done for now, Stargirl has a better than average shot at building an audience.

Just watched the pilot. Was all right.

Great first episode

Watched ep. 2 earlier.
Again, pretty good. It’s throwing in some nice Easter eggs, and some comedic bits to balance out the drama/darker bits.

Brainwave came off as nice and creepy here, which was nice. The training montage was fun, and the big fight of the week was well done w. a kick ass finish.
I also appreciated Courtney being freaked out by her first battle(s), and not instantly adjusting to the craziness and danger.

Loved that closing line.

"I killed one starman, I can kill another"

^^^oh, You know, nasty little fellows such as him always get their comeuppance.

This take place in the Arrowverse?

Pretty sure it's the titans/doom patrol verse. It's very good!

Sounds perfect for him, given his, shall we say, creative retooling on comic titles. TV adaptations are inherently different from their comic sources, so Johns can be as creative as he likes without retconning established lore.

It was established in Arrowverse's crisis that its on its own earth in the arrowverse multiverse. It was one of yhe rarths we saw after they rebooted the universe at the dawn of time.

We also saw titans earth, DP earth, Swamp Thing Earth, a Ruth Superman earth (where it reboots to not be post kingdom come) and a green Lantern earth for the new upcomimg HBO series.

Given that he crested Stargirl, and based her character on his late sister and that SG is to Johns what Catman is to Gail Simone (that is his fan wank character) i very much doubt he'll change much at all

Huh, I'm of the opposite opinion: I think his comics are great but his work outside of it has been hit and miss.

So far, though, I'm liking this. Even if it feels really slow.

the show could be better. the acting is very stale. Way too predictable the first couple shows have been. the cgi is just about right. the inevitable crossovers will happen prolly so.

^^^thats pretty high praise.
You aren’t even wishing anyone dead. Yet. 😛

———————————-

After two eps, I’ve got to say, the Stargirl/STRIPE costume/robot are two of the best, most faithful comic to screen (big or small) adaptations I’ve ever seen. They look great!
