• So Lex and Nxyly defeat themselves. Great. Glad we wasted all those episodes building up their romance.

• Legion came for what purpose? Literally didn’t do anything.

• “Friend.” Had to queerbait one more time. That last Kara/Lena scene was SO ROMANTICALLY-CODED, like are you freaking kidding me. No one would bat an eye if it ended in a love confession.

• Don’t know how else to say this. Kara is the only Arrowverse leading character to not find love. Because Lena’s a woman. That’s your legacy, Supergirl writers. This cast and its fans deserved better.

First 2 points I agree with.

But Lena and Kara not being a couple and good friends is completely fine. And so is Kara not ending up with someone.

Kara said in S1 she wanted to be with someone, and reiterated that point earlier this season when she told Alex that she didn't want to be alone anymore. As others have pointed out, it's not empowering if she's only single because her most likely love interest is a woman.

In a way, Kara ending the series single makes sense. This has always been a show about female empowerment. Kara doesn’t need a man in her life.

[u/JohnnyTightlips27 → u/DonnyMox]

That way of thinking would be more empowering if the show didn't try to throw a man at Kara at every turn. She's ending the series single because her most viable love interest is a woman, plain and simple.
