An Accurate Depictionof Me Realizing The Writers Really Just Put Mon-el In The Episode To Get More Views

An accurate depiction of me realizing the writers really just put Mon-el in the episode to get more views and had no intention of giving anyone actual closure

Ok, I haven't seen the finale yet because it is yet to come up on Prime where I'm from, but I've already gotten enough idea as to what happens with Karamel. I'm still going to wait to watch the final episode to say more but I just still think this needs to be said.

I am not anti-Supercorp, and I love Kara and Lena. I think they have a beautiful friendship and they go very well together. I can see why people ship them and it's only natural to have ships between characters on shows, especially ones that are not canon. To some extent, I can also understand the obsession with them. They could definitely be amazing and a power couple. (Have you seen Katie McGrath? She exudes bi-panic!)

What I don't understand is the hate and toxicity of those stans towards other ships and totally bringing down the other characters and quite literally tearing them apart. That is just absolutely bizarre. Not liking a character is okay, not liking a ship is okay, but rage-hating on them and accusing those fans of false sentiments is just horrible. And it happens a lot.

I am a Karamel shipper. I thought Karamel had great chemistry and it was just amazing and pure and true. Mon-El was not perfect and he lied and he wasn't keen on Kara initially. He wasn't perfect. And honestly, Kara had her flaws. She wasn't any better. But they made each other better and just went so well with each other and they loved each other. Season 2 was one of the best written seasons on there.

And then other fans tore apart Mon-El's character and made him out to be this horrible misogynistic person, which was just so confusing. If it were literally anybody else, don't you think they would've been called enemies to lovers? There have been more intense couples than that, with much more hateful words between each other which were so glorified and loved, but Karamel was toxic?

I read a post once somewhere that if Lena were a man, then the whole dynamic would've changed and she would have absolutely not been tolerated. She would've been called obsessive and creepy. Especially after her whole revenge spiel on finding out about Kara. But it's okay because she's a woman?

Now, I'm not saying that Lena should be hated on. I love Lena and her story, especially this season's redemption arc; but I don't think it's fair that a lot of Supercorp stans go on to call non-shippers homophobic for not shipping them. It's like pulling out the big guns to defend yourselves when there is no threat. The same thing happened with the Snowbarry and WestAllen shippers.

The point is that everyone has their own opinion. Everyone has their own reasons for shipping someone and not shipping someone; liking a character and not liking a character, and it's not always that they're homophobic or racist, and just because you can accuse them of that does not mean you should. Those are serious allegations and they hurt. Words have unimaginable power. Please respect each other.

Probably an unpopular opinion but if they were never going to resolve Kara's dual identity by finally giving her someone on Earth she could be Kara Zor-El with, and if they further never planned to ever give her another proper love interest and just end her perpetually alone since presumably she doesn't want to settle for a partner that can't understand her that way and whatever she still has her sister so close enough...

...they should have just let Mon-el die at the end of season 2. And let her parents stay dead too.

That way, there could have at least been the poetry of watching her grieve for the metaphorical death of Kara Zor-El, while she was grieving the irreplaceable love of her life. Then she could have decided friendship and career are enough for her to be happy and love is no longer included in her definition of "having it all." That could have been season 3 right there.

At least it would have made sense and given the audience clarity and closure, instead of making us all feel stupid in the end for caring about her search for happiness.

What should've happened... excuse me while I go imagine this is as the real endgame.

Toxic Shipping

Now that this show is over, I think it's fair to say that while those psychos didn't get what they truly wanted, they still managed to get something that they did want, which was for Kara to not be with anyone else.

I still can't for the life of me understand what happened with Kara/William and why they couldn't just stick with it (unless Staz asked the writers to free him from the drama). Writing should serve the story and not be dictated by a faceless Twitter mob.

Because anyone who started this show in Season 1 knows that Kara didn't want to go through life without a romantic partner.

But at the end of the day, it looks like these pathetic writers let the toxic assholes derail these ships: Karamel, Guardiancorp and Superdey. I am not adding Karolsen to it because I think the writers ended it for non-fandom reasons but it could also be a casualty.

As I sit at home, all I can say to all future writers is that the internet doesn't represent the whole world. In fact, only a tiny fraction of viewers spend time online tweeting about their shows. So please, don't let angry people with multiple usernames steer your show. And most importantly, do not give in to bullies.
