I don't know why Zod keeps getting lumped in with Luthor as being overexposed. He's only been in two movies and three tv shows (technically two since the one that appeared on Supergirl was a hallucination).
Yeah, I don't really see how that is "not that much".
Just because one villain is more overused than the other doesn't mean the other is not.
This ending. Is painful to watch.

A team or "league" of heroes fight a villain, but in the end the monsters they unleash turn on the villains and overwhelm them. Seems I have seen that somewhere before.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
The idea of a crowd of normals stepping up in a superhero battle is overdone in so many places and is so stupid. Also, let's have Supergirl from Old step up with a crap sporting shotgun.
Then standing and yapping for a fight with folks with superspeed. Good riddance to this show which went downhill and never stopped.
And was there any point to Supergirl absorbing the sun and having people turn on her?
I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
I didn't mind that. They did it first in Arrow Season 4.
I thought the final battle was fine. Everyone got a moment to shine (though I didn't know a Legion ring could be used as an offensive weapon), Supergirl gave a speech that empowered the regular folk, the not-so-infinity stones were depowered, and the only people that were feeling fear were taken to the Phantom Zone.
My problem was actually Nyxly being taken back to the Phantom Zone. If they had kept her characterization consistent as a truly evil being, who reveled in the destructions she brought, I'd be fine with it. Instead, they seemed to go back and forth on her character, at times making her sympathetic. Hell, she even protected the kid. And we all saw how the Phantom Zone impacted her before. So sending her back there- That felt cruel and unearned.
That's not a glowing recommendation .
Everyone got a moment to shine while Supergirl got to do the bare minimum and wasn't even all that responsible for the villains being defeated. In the final episode of her own show. Personally I don't think yet another speech quite made up for that and it was an anti-climactic end for the shows two biggest villains.I thought the final battle was fine.

I do agree they could never quite figure out a concrete characterization for Nyxly. Also seems like her tyrant father is still in charge of the 5th Dimension so...
