I know it's been a while since the finale has aired but I think it's safe to say that everyone is still pretty salty over the ending.

There are many reasons why season 6 is probably the worst season ever and the finale was even worse, but the one that I absolutely loathe is the shitty excuse they gave for Kara to reveal herself. I just don't understand the logic behind Kara revealing her identity?

I mean there's the whole 'I'll never truly be me' thing which was really not that huge of a deal before and honestly, like a cheap excuse to just do something. For all that she stood for, taking her glasses off for that reason alone was so rubbish.

The whole reason she concealed her identity in the first place was because she couldn't compromise the safety of her loved ones.

Or actually, more accurately, Kara wasn't the one to conceal her identity. Clark was; because he was Superman and unless he revealed his identity to the world, there was no way Kara could. He didn't reveal himself as Superman to protect his loved ones, his family, and once Kara came, to protect her too. That was his decision. And for Kara to just throw that all up in the air and reveal herself to the world was really quite selfish and just SO out of character. It's just absurd. (No wonder she's practically a ghost in Superman and Lois.)

At that time, Kara's identity was concealed because she could have been used against him if the world knew of Superman's cousin. But that all went to hell when she did exactly that and came out as Supergirl, and yet, that was still okay because they were two indestructible beings and were capable of taking care of themselves if they were ever used against each other. (And yet they never were even though the whole world knew they were cousins. Except for Lex, who actually just changed teams. Even he didn't do anything in that regard.)

I mean, virtually all that the rest of the world knew about these two was that Superman and Supergirl were cousins and nothing other than Kryptonite could hurt them. I count two weaknesses. And you're telling me that their enemies didn't once clash trying to hurt the other in some way or the other to get back them? Yeah, right.

Either way, I get that it was Supergirl, so obviously, there wasn't much of Superman in it, but I feel like they didn't give Kara and Clark a personal angle.

Anyway, the point was that revealing her identity would have put all of Clark's family in danger. She understood perfectly well why she had to be Kara Danvers in the first place ever since she came to Earth. And that was before she built any relationships.

Then she made her own family. There have already been enough times where Alex has been in danger just because she was a DEO agent. And she may be Sentinel now, but she's not indestructible. With everyone knowing Supergirl is Kara Danvers, everyone will also know Alex Danvers by default.

And there are a million other reasons I could state like not even being able to meet the rest of the Justice League without compromising them (working with them in their gear would be risky enough, but there's no way Kara and Barry could ever have a drink again) or putting Nia under suspicion, but the one most important and recent one would be Esme.

I mean just last episode she got kidnapped and even William was murdered. Be it with or without Lex's knowledge of Kara being Supergirl, it was still enough to scare the hell out of all of them. And yet she still thought it was best to take off her glasses?

Here Kara is, standing at her sister's wedding, with their child- her niece probably as the flower girl, surrounded by her family and friends with nice normal jobs, AND SHE THOUGHT REVEALING HER IDENTITY SHOULD BE HER HAPPY ENDING WHEN HER LITTLE NIECE WAS KIDNAPPED JUST WEEKS AGO?

Out of all the reasons, this is why I hate the finale ending the most. The writers made no sense at all and it was just horrible. They gave us a beautiful character and made her a stranger in the end.

Supergirl was a comfort show for most of us and it made us feel warm and- yellow, you know? But then we get this 'endgame'.

Season 1 or 2 Kara would be baffled by season 6 Kara. Or even child Kara, I think.

when people are like ‘oh but the Swan Queen age gap is so large’ and they’re CS shippers I wanna scream

like I respect CS and all but seriously 😭

mfs talk about morality but talk shit to those who wants change

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up. 

Sorry, political rant.

I agree with not voting for either of the two main presidential options. but if we are going to vote someone else in, everyone needs to agree with who- Markiplier? great. Bo Burnham? love it. John Mulaney? sure, why not. But everyone needs to agree to put one person down, so that it actually counts.

Also, an amendment needs to be pushed through declaring a maximum age for presidency. like a minimum of 35, maximum of 60. people just wouldn't go for it because they don't have americas best interest in mind and thats sad.

if not a maximum, then potential presidents need to go through a sort of sanity test to make sure they are of sane mind. why are men that are literally out of their goddamned minds running???

asking my parents, the only good thing about trump was that groceries weren't so expensive. but thats not the presidents fault, its the 1%, and any bills, laws, whatever need to pass through them to be accepted.

it's not just the president thats screwing this nation over one day at a time, its everyone in power. vote not just in the presidential campaign but for local problems, for state wide problems.

people in the senate and house of representatives dont have our best interests at heart? fucking change it.

assassinations need to come back istg
