DCU Superman vs CW Supergirl

Is DCU the recent movie one? I thought that was DCEU.

If it's that, Supergirl destroys her. She's as-fast-ish as CW Barry, and that's a lot faster (even discounting his outliers) then anything we've seen in the DCEU yet. DCEU Supes is a distant second to DCEU Barry, and DCU Barry is definitely behind on feats to CW.

DCU Superman vs CW Supergirl

Same question. Do you mean DCEU Superman? As of JL, DCEU Superman gives the impression of being more powerful because he is in that universe but not sure his feats are on the CW Supergirl level.

This all over again, maybe a bit more one-sided

That was some cringe.

If the fight is exactly like this, I don't see how anyone but us loses.

Holy hell that was horrible. How did this show get renewed for multiple seasons?

Season 2 was the lowpoint of the show, admittedly.

Engaging storylines and characters, mostly, especially Season 4.

I think CW scales far too high for the DCEU for this to be a fair fight, at least as long as the Snyder cut don't goes totally crazy with the speed and powers.

If that were the case the ratings would be better than they are now:

Also, is Karas speed being even remotely close to Barry's consistent? Outside of crossover stuff, has she done anything speed worthy outside of low end bullet timing?

I don't know, that fight wasn't amazing but I liked they were trying to put some weight into the confrontation. Felt impactful even if the choreography was jank.

Not at all, because they were talking about season 4 and that article is talking about season 5. The latter's ratings have consistently been poorer than the former. Season 4 consistently hit over 1 million, season 5 consistently hit over 600k after the bump from the Crisis on Infinite Earth storyline went away.

The artcile is also flat-out lying about them losing viewers in the millions; the only episode that had over a million difference from others is the Crisis episode, and that's because the fans of every single show in that continuity had to watch it.

I have some big issues with Supergirl but they do seem to be trying to get the comic book feel, which is more than I can say for a lot of live-action adaptations.

Also, I'll add that the supposition "high ratings = a good show" is pretty laughable. Shitty shows do good ratings all the time, good shows don't get noticed by the mainstream. Ratings are eyeballs, that has a lot less to do with quality than one would think.

As for Kara's speed, she commonly uses her speed to appear and disappear faster than people can notice, sometimes saving them from assault while doing so, as well as to change in or out of her Supergirl suit within moments.

This. Total agreement.

I liked the fight for the most part more in the sense that it had a purpose in the story.

Cody, I would not say Supergirl consistently uses her super combat speed. But it's hardly like Barry does either. It's stock comic book someone forgetting they have super speed.

I really don't follow ratings for television shows. My guess would be that the season that paralleled the real life immigration political issue turned off a segment of the audience along with some other issues. But the article apparently misrepresents things to make it appear the ratings have fallen hard.
