Supergirl succeeds with “easy-breezy feminism” and “millennial wish-fulfillment”
Melissa Benoist is a “casting miracle” whose character “seems to have the full force of Twitter-era, post-grrrl feminism at the ready,” says Hank Stuever, who adds that Benoist as Supergirl seems to say more in one episode than Lynda Carter’s “jiggle-rific” Wonder Woman said in an entire season. He adds: “Supergirl is one of the few shows on TV that seem to effortlessly embrace both the inhibitions and independence of someone who is proudly young, without a single scene that involves texting etiquette, swiping or whining (in tones of vocal fry) about how hard her life is compared with everyone else’s.” PLUS: Benoist is the perfect fit for the role who’s able to steady the pilot during its shakier moments, Supergirl never shies away from its charming, bubbly protagonist’s hyper-femininity, but its feminist ways will turn off sexist fanboys, Supergirl isn’t afraid to have fun and drop the cynicism present in many superhero series, in this story a Y chromosome is basically kryptonite, Supergirl is strictly average with hints of promise, Supergirl gets away with its lack of subtlety, the problem Supergirl isn’t the most interesting character on Supergirl, Benoist is able to sell the character’s contradictions and paradoxes, and Supergirl casts Henry Czerny as villain Toyman.
