Cat Grant actually knows who Kara Danvers is and understands why Kara Danvers is an important piece of who Supergirl truly is. That’s why I wish Cat would come back and have some heart to heart talks with Kara and help her feel much needed human connection again from someone outside of her immediate circle of friends and family who are currently only spending time with her when she’s Supergirl.
oh man what a parallel with cat and adam with alura and kara right now–
“You tried. Sometimes all you can do is try.”
“I didn’t lose.
I quit.” “
Would you make a different decision if you could go back?” “I stopped asking myself that question years ago.
Not being there for Adam is my greatest regret.“
alura said that she thought she saw kara going into the phantom zone, but she never looked. she was surprised to hear about clark–she didn’t look for him either. but the thing is too–i think Alura might have thought that the community needed her more, was faced with do I look for Kara and Kal-El, or do I cut my losses and help build back the community that needs me, that I know is here to support me while going through this?
If it was the other way around, if there was even just a shred of hope that her mother was alive, Kara would never stop searching. And at that time, an Alura grieving for Krypton chose Argo over Kara–just like Cat chose CatCo over Adam. And seeing Kara, seeing her alive, it’s going to be Alura’s biggest regret. Kara grew up without her, Kara lived and suffered and found joy without Alura there
There was that conversation between Cat and Adam ”
I never got to put a picture that you’d drawn on the fridge.
I never got to tell you stories. And I never got to teach you how not to be afraid of the world.
And I never got to tell you how amazing I think you are.
I never got to be your mom.
But I am your biggest fan, Adam.
And I’m so, so sad that I didn’t get to see you grow up”
“Cat Grant is arguably the only character who captured the essence of feminism in everything she did, and the advice she gave to Kara was always so empowering, thoughtful, and was really for empowering the fans and women everywhere. Without her, there was really no filling the void because no character could have ever lived up to Cat, but the writers didn’t even attempt to”
While I was out of town, we got the go-ahead to post our pieces for the @heroine-artbook zine! Here’s mine, featuring (surprise, surprise) SUPERGIRL (and of course, Alex Danvers.)
