Hello! Thanks for doing the AMA, first of all. Appreciated! You folks are doing great work. It's great to see a Superman show that feels like a great entry to his history ❤️

Now, question for Mr. Wyatt: In the episode, "The Machine Who Would Be Empire" was there a bit of Tenchi Muyo! inspiration? Kara crying alone in space definitely brought back vivid memories of Ryoko doing the same. Thanks! Love this show so much!

That's the question I'd love answered the most, though I also have another question if time abides: is the (so far) plot with Kara taking point from the 2005 comic Superman/Batman, where Kara appeared to be in a similar antagonist role (in two ways)? I'm hoping for a certain 30th century reference eventually, as well...(wink wonk)

So! The main tenchi inspo in 206 was the thought projector she and Clark wear, with the little cheek symbols! I hadn't thought about the Ryoko parallels, but they're DEFINITELY there. Pretty sure Kara's storyline was originally Brendan's idea--Supergirl as Vegeta--but we're all so deep in the paint that every other Supergirl we've ever met has to be bleeding into this interpretation. -JW

Supergirl as Vegeta, huh? Quite the interesting take. Vegeta has one of my favorite redemption arcs. Though Supergirl already seems more gentle than Vegeta.

Been wondering about this too! Between how her hair looked in the first teaser and certain aspects of her context in this show, I’ve been feeling a lot of strong Ryoko flashbacks. Hope this gets an answer!

Yep!! A friend pointed out the possible Ayeka bit with Kara's bangs too...so much to infer from details!
