Supergirl Supergirl General Discussion Thread - Part 7

still think her hair needs to be a lighter shade of blonde.

Nice and simple hero poster, love it.

Nothing too fancy here. Keep it to the basics.

 

[BH/HHH]

I like the poster, hopefully it means we're about to get some footage

 

[Dark Raven]

A new poster...

She kind of reminds me of Ally McBeal in that poster.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I can see it.

Not a huge fan of the poster, it's ok but nothing special.

 

[flickchick85]

It's fine. I just hope its release is heralding an incoming trailer.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I miss the days when they would include the entire cast in posters. Having all of them looking up into the sky with Kara hovering above them would be cool.

It blows my mind in the difference of advertising for SG on the CW and CBS. Already this hour before the double episodes air there have been 4 full commercials about the double episodes and the premiere date and time. On CBS in the regular season it got a small banner at the bottom of the screen once 30 minutes before it aired.

Not loving the new poster. It seems to be one of the most unflattering photos of Kara's / Melissa's face I've ever seen. She looks a bit stern and matronly.

Any of the recent "behind the scenes" photos with a big smile would have been better.

But, any promotion is good promotion!

 

[flickchick85]

Well, I just saw a new promo, but it still didn't have any new footage.

I always liked this one, they should let her smile in more of these pics and quit it with the weird filters, they should also try to never do what they did with the Superman reveal pic ever, ever again.

Feels weird to have not seen anything when we've had trailers and promos for the other shows already.

You have to remember that CW is taking a show in its 2ndseason from a different network that they need to be a moderate hit so of course they are putting effort into it. Unless it surpasses Flash in ratings, the advertiding will take a huge hit next season.

 

[flickchick85]

Here's the new promo I saw (again, NO new footage):

 

[justlooking]

I suspect we won't see a promo with Supes until a week or two before the season premiere. Can't dangle that carrot too early.

The other shows have shot at least 4 or 5 episodes by this point, whereas Supergirl has only shot 2.

You might be right but doing it earlier would make sense to generate more buzz

 

[haephestus]

I always liked this one:

I agree. That is my ideal for Supergirl!

 

[Dark Raven]

So if Cat isn't going to be in many of these episodes now, that makes it less likely she'll figure out Kara's secret or be in the inner circle, which is a shame. She's proven to be a good ally and mentor.

Ya never know....

They have said she is in the first 2, and have not firmed up how many others she will be in. If they can schedule her successfully, she may well be in more than anyone thought she would.

EW: Metallo is Coming

EW: Metallo is Coming

Wasn't this more-or-less confirmed a couple of weeks ago? E.g., we saw location photos of Supes battling dude with a green blob on his chest.

 

[BH/HHH]

EW: Metallo is Coming

Yes confirmation, I did have a theory we may be getting both Roger and John Corben as the two actors seen were not the same person. Of course one could have been of a stunt man but if Tyler was there then surely the actor would have been too. However, reading the article I think that's wrong now.

 

[flickchick85]

Not necessarily. Stuntmen in a fight scene often perform their stunts opposite the real actor for the other character when they're getting that actor's coverage.
