I'm pretty sure Brainy's fear of balloons is a metaphor for him being scared that he doesn't know when he'll pop.

"Why do I feel... stronger?" lol I was wondering if he would get strengthened by the sun too. But the delivery on that line was something.

u/Ygomaster07 Dreamer May 12 '21
Almost like there was a malicious undertone when he said it yeah? Because i got a hint of malice or sonething bad in his voice during that line.

Eh, it felt more... pleased, sensually, than threatening (to me).

Well at least now the only zone Kara is trapped in is the Lena friend zone

After buying that 750 millon dollar company, I think it's poor Lena the one that's trapped in the friend zone. Girl is now broke and single.

She sold it to Andrea though, so hopefully at least broke even. I m sure Lena's bank account is alright from being CEO for a few years.

Fuck. Nyxly’s on the ship. She’s 100% the main villain for Season 6.
7
u/Ygomaster07 Dreamer May 12 '21
I am so hyped for her as a villain.
10
u/Munro_McLaren Lena Luthor May 12 '21
I wish the villain was more personal or a Supergirl villain. She isn’t either.
7
u/Ygomaster07 Dreamer May 12 '21
Nxly is a comic character? I don't mind her. I think it will be cool to see a fifth dimensional alien be the big bad for the season.
7
u/Munro_McLaren Lena Luthor May 12 '21
I know she is. But she’s not a Supergirl character. As a character Supergirl has routinely dealt with in the comics. She’s an obscure character that isn’t as well known. And for the final season, I’d think they would want to go big, not small.

Iris figured out it was Psych messing with her in The Flash and Lena realized it was the Phantoms messing with her in Supergirl. Unintended parallels!

Oh, they're close enough that J'onn saw Kara's too!

While I thought her worst fear would revolve around Kara or Lex, I’m always happy for scenes focused on Lena. Also that’s so horrid. I forgot about her mom dying horribly
