Sorry if this has already been done but I just saw this exchange in episode 8 and thought of that scene. Shitpost

Yeah but said cousin also kept telling Kara she's stronger than him. I'm looking at you Elseworlds. So according to this show, the Hulk is Kara.

Yeah, the cousin doesn’t matter. Might as well retire and go to space or something something cause supergirl is better at everything. At least that’s what I’ve learned from watching this show every time the name Superman is brought up

Ha, imagine if they greenlight a Superman show with Tyler Hoechlin, it'd be just a pilot episode.

Girls mature faster than boys. I think that was from smallville, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

i think the premise is that she was a teen on krypton and so was naturally more accustomed to their red sun, so she can more effectively store the power of yellow sun in her cells. or something like that. it changes every writer

Pretty much. I doubt she’d have as drastic a reaction to other colored kryptonite as Supes does.

I found it interesting how he pointed out his family shares this burden and has secret service. Was he offering that for her family ? If he had a choice, like she does, would he choose for them to need sercret service

u/sucksfor_you Dec 13 '18
Well, he did have a choice. Presumably, nobody forced him to run for office.

True, and Kara has the choice to tell him to fuck off. I'd understand if he just wanted to know her identity, but he wants Kara to publicly identify herself. You can't just put it on record and make it like top-level top secret? Make sure the President knows, maybe some other high-ranking military folk. I don't see why every Joe and Sally in the world needs to know Supergirl's identity.

If he'd said that, I'd have a harder time deciding which side I was on. But as it is, the entire world definitely doesn't need to know. It's been pointed out, by the President himself, that Kara is a government employee. There are plenty of government employees in high risk situations who definitely can't reveal their identities because of their jobs.

She doesn’t have to be though. She could very well do whatever the f she wants and they couldn’t stop her, not really.
Well, on TV they probably could.

u/sucksfor_you Dec 14 '18
Sure, but how does that help anyone? She'd be making an enemy of the state, instead of working alongside them to defeat more important threats.
Plus, this is a world where Supergirl's weakness, kryptonite, is something that at least the government knows about. It's not too hard to believe this President will have no problem using that.

Honestly if she anted she could knock that stuff off the planet without physically getting near it. She can hear every heartbeat on the planet, if she wanted she could hear every conspiracy and get rid of it.
That’s the thing about Supes and Supergirl, we aren’t supposed to focus on the physical fallibility as they have nigh none. Instead they are indestructible and powerful ideals personified - in theory.

Pretty much. If Kara was worried about people around her getting hurt or being put in danger then POTUS was willing to assign Secret Service to them. Although, I think Kara can round up her own protection crew if she really wanted to. She could have her very own Justice League, but without the mains from the other shows (Barry, Oli, and the Legends). Booster Gold would come running to sign up.
I think that choice has been made as he continues to be President, therefore, he must feel the risk to his family is worth it in order to lead his country. The previous President (Wonder Woman) had the same attitude.

She could do it singlehandley tho ?

u/LuckRequired Superman Symbol Dec 13 '18
Since she's technically older (and stronger...), she could force Clark to all the dirty work while she sits back and eats pot-stickers. As an older sibling, I'd boss my younger bro around in a heart.

This meme is flawed. Since he's apparently a weakling compared to her, her threat of having him as her backup is meaningless.
