Benoist is pregnant and she probably wants to focus on being a mom

Olicity is the worst of the worst in all of these shows. Like I'm rewatching season 1 and 2 of Arrow.. like am I missing where this great...or even good Olicity chemistry is? I honestly dont see it where as for Oliver and Laurel....whoa tons of chemistry there but nah, let's do what pleases the fangirls rather than the iconic comic book route instead, smh

I digress but yeah, that still gets me very annoyed.

And then on Flash they do right with Barry and Iris which was good at the start but ruined when they made her Flash for a day and after turned her into the 2nd most annoying character in the entire Arrowverse behind Felicity.

Smh

I never minded Oliver and Felicity. I actually wanted and rooted for that, at least for a time before he would invariably hook up with Laurel (which was always supposed to happen as in Laurel is the love of his life in the comics, but just plain didn't here). But the writers... kept making her be horrible towards him at every turn after it actually happened and then never had him hook up with Laurel. I have no idea why. Maybe some idea.

I personally think it's mostly your guys' fault (in a way). As in, Oliver and Felicity happened because that was the natural charm of the show (the same way two characters hooked up in many shows not because it was ever planned but because of the actors and actresses' chemistry in-show and people responding to that). But then... they read a lot of people complaining later on about "Olicity" or whatever. So they made a compromise, like, "OK, we're not going to necessarily break them up (or maybe we will, for a few episodes)... but we'll continually make some strife between them to give you what you want!" And meanwhile pleasing no one.

I can stomach early signs of wokeness if the action and relationship drama is good. I liked seasons one and two, it had social and political commentary but it wasn't as in your face at the time, plus I liked Kara and Mon-El's relationship when it was just puppy love and nothing that saw Kara go full on "homewrecker" like later seasons. The treatment of Superman towards the end of season two was when I noticed alarm bells ringing though.

I think I made it through Season 1, because Martian Manhunter and her sister were pretty great.

Don't remember where in Season 2 I gave up, but it was pretty early after Hunky Olsen turned vigilante, I think.

Yeah, that was pretty dumb. Especially when the previous season literally introduced the actual Guardian, Jim Harper.

It's funny but I thought she was better with Barry Allen and even Ray Palmer.im nobody but I saw a lot of good fire there with them onscreen together than I ever saw with Oliver and Felicity....idk maybe I'm blind *shrugs*

~~Vegita-San~~ · 09-23-2020, 07:49 PM

agreed. was pretty clear where this show was going 10 episodes in even. I stuck it out till the end, and tuned out soon after that horribly written 'finale'.

And barry had more passion for everyone BUT Iris. and Iris clearly doesn't GAF... she looks so bored on the show now it's a wonder she even shows up

~~Leo656~~ · 09-23-2020, 08:15 PM

If Benoist is having a kid then I expect she's probably done with playing Supergirl outside of a cameo here and there.

I think I gave up on the show about three or four episodes in - even THAT early, I could tell exactly where it was going and every bad feeling I ever had was proven true in time - but I said then and I still say that Benoist herself was fine. She deserved to play the role of Supergirl in a much better and less-ridiculous and pandering show. Without her, that show had absolutely nothing going for it.

And since I can see her naked on the internet for free, I always just did that instead of rage-watching a show I couldn't stand.

See how easy this is?

...........FYI, in case you never knew it Melissa Benoist is VERY naked on the internet. Thank God.

Didn't she make a big stink about it? That certainly 'raised' some profiles...that happened to be gawking at her profile...

*Andrew NDB* · 09-24-2020, 03:44 AM

Naw, I don't buy the "I'm having a kid and I'm out!" thing. Many actresses work through pregnancies. And we're not talking like Benoist is some mega star who is set for life... she's not. She's on a CW show with pitiful ratings... her salary can't be much. She can hardly retire, at least on whatever lifestyle she's adapted to by now.

She was naked in some movie back when she was nobody, also. Once you've been naked for money, I don't think you really have much right to be pissy about people seeing your nipples. "We've already established what you are, the rest is a matter of degree" and all that.

Like yes, the "leaked" stuff was of her actually having sex and not just being naked, but as I've said often, "If you don't want people to see you naked and having sex, the very simple and elegant solution to that is to NOT film yourself naked and having sex because there's a 100% chance that someone is going to see it who was never intended to see it." Could be your Mom, could be the entire internet, could be some guy working at Verizon who's in charge of data management or whatever. But SOMEONE is gonna see it no matter what you do, therefore it's absolutely goddamn stupid for anyone to do that stuff. "But I have the RIGHT to-..." To what, be an idiot? Sure, just accept that there's consequences, dummy.

Like, I was quite disappointed to learn that she's THAT big of an idiot. BUT, at the same time, she has a nice beaver and I never would've seen it otherwise so that overrides my disappointment. They're ALL various shades of stupid, but they don't all look as good having sex as she apparently does.

But yeah, she probably was annoyed, I don't care. Woe is She and her awesome tits.

Cry me a goddamn river.

!@#@$ Leo I had no idea about the "Benoist Leaks". onesearchforcuriosityjustoneonlyone....

~~Leo656~~ · 09-24-2020, 12:57 PM

You missed that?! They're amazing!

Looking them up again now, I can see why she'd be annoyed. She didn't just do some topless "art photos" for her boyfriend; they basically just made a f*cking full-blown porno.

He also wears a condom, which tells me there's not a ton of trust in that relationship.

Although if she's pregnant now I guess they got over it.

Assuming it's the same guy.

Anyways, I'm glad I could brighten up your day.

I was shocked that they kept her on the show after that all came out. I guess times have changed.

TMNTFanatic4Life · 09-24-2020, 01:14 PM

And they had to borrow Lex Luthor from Superman as a main villain so must mean they are out of creative so ending after 6 seasons is wise.

Just wish they scrapped these shows and did a Justice League team up of 13 episodes because the main shows save for Black Lightning has gone really stale on their own and have used up their best main villains.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-24-2020, 01:17 PM

Right from the beginning they were "borrowing" villains and even entire storylines from Superman and using them to boost her up, so I knew about four or five episodes in that the show wasn't worth my time. Writing was already on the wall very early on, unfortunately.

I thought it had already made the news before she was even cast as Supergirl?

That wouldn't bother me too much. I mean... look how much Arrow borrowed from Batman.

~~Sumac~~ · 09-24-2020, 04:03 PM

Personally I don't care what actors did before they hit big, but this attitude is just hypocritical and stupid.

If you willing to strip and have sex on camera for money, then why the **** are you angry that some people get off of it? Isn't that the whole point of what you've done?

~~Leo656~~ · 09-24-2020, 06:25 PM

I know, right?

Reminds me of the girls I knew who dressed really slutty in high school. If a guy who they thought was cute took notice, they'd push their tits up farther and lean over a little more. If a guy they thought was gross noticed them being all half-naked and such, they'd be all, "GROSS, don't look at me!"

Girls are weird. They wanna be objectified and thought of as sex objects... but only selectively. They want a hand in deciding who is "allowed" to masturbate to them. And I find that very, very silly.

I'm not bragging or anything, but I've been told I have a few fans, some of whom think I'm rather alright to various degrees. A couple stalker-y weirdo types but nothing major thank goodness. Anyways, it's been brought to my attention that several less-than-stellar-looking ladies and even a few gay dudes over the years like to daydream about me. People ask me how that makes me feel, as if I should be creeped out, but I figure as long as they don't do it in front of me or ask me on a date, then it's fine, I'll just take the compliment. I don't need to think *you're* attractive for you to be allowed to think *I'm* attractive.

Girls, for some reason, don't function that way. Only the ones they specifically choose can get hard thinking about them. Which I find quite bizarre. But then, if guys knew what the hell girls were thinking, then Fleshlights wouldn't be a billion-dollar industry.

----------

CKD: Possibly, I don't have a timeline. I know she did the movie where she was naked way before Supergirl, but I remember the "leaks" coming out sometime during Season 1. But I may be mistaken.

It always makes me a little mad when a girl that hot settles for a guy who's not very hung. I shouldn't care, but I do.

At the same time I can't help feeling just a little bit sorry for them, even though it's entirely not my business.

I think my wife kinda ruined me with that. She insists that anything under ___ inches is a waste of time and that girls lie about it not mattering and that it absolutely matters. So now whenever I see a hot girl with a "so-so" guy I'm like "Aww, that's a shame."

We get weird in this house.
--------------

Andrew: Yeah, that's partly why I never watched Arrow. Not even once as I recall, I might have caught part of one episode but I never watched a full one. It was SO obvious that they'd rather have been making a Batman show that I found the entire effort very insincere.
