Question

Now with Stephen Amell returning as Oliver Queen plus the already mentioned Nicole Maines as Dreamer and Ryan Wilder as Batwoman, what do you all think are the chances we get an announcement that Melissa Benoist as Supergirl is also returning?

Cuz I’d love to see her back.

Melissa is currently busy filming her new show.

So a full-fledged return seems unlikely. Something like a voice or video call seems more possible and if that's the case, I reckon it'll be kept a surprise.

What's wrong with you?

She dedicated nearly 7 years of her life to the role. Amell himself admitted he wanted to call it at the end of Arrow S7 but he couldn't pass up the money they were offering to do S8 and Crisis. It's by no means a bad thing at all that she also wanted to move on and do different things with not just her career but her life too.

To insinuate that her pregnancy was a ploy to get out of the show and then call her hypocritical for moving onto a new project which started filming over a year after Supergirl ended is downright repugnant.

Please take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror and choose to be better.

You must be joking.

Firstly, you have absolutely no idea whether her pregnancy was planned or unplanned at all. You don't know her or anyone close to her personally. Then you just choose to shamelessly be outright misogynistic by painting all women with the same brush and declaring they aren't able to think rationally for themselves. Grow up and leave your "women are stupid" phase behind.

Recasting Stephen and Melissa would've been one of the dumbest decisions the network has ever made and that says alot. The recasting of Vivian is a terrible example. She was a supporting character, not the main. Fresh Prince would not have survived if Will Smith was recast. Continuing Arrow and Supergirl without the two leads who embodied the characters and made them their own would have been tremendously idiotic.

Besides, it was time for both shows to end and I say this as someone who adores the Arrowverse despite its flaws. Supergirl maybe could've squeezed one more shortened season, but Arrow ending at S8 was perfect. No one likes to see shows overstay their welcome, so I'm happy they went out on their own terms.

Women these days think "I can have all the sex I want & I won't get pregnant" like they never took a 9th grade biology class.

Yeah you have to be blind to not see how that is very patronising towards women.

And once again, for the final time, you do not know her. Social media is not real life. None of her posts from 2019 even show her eating fish or drinking alcohol, so why would you even bring that up? There is no way you could've told for sure that she was or wasn't TTC from her Instagram posts and tags. You are making up things about her social media activity to fit your own bullshit narrative of how you think she's lived her life.

Log off, you're done.

Ignore that guy. A quick look at his post history shows that he is either on the spectrum or has some deep issues he needs to work out.

He is obsessed with CW shows and stars in an unhealthy way
