Why You Shouldn’t Sleep On the Flash x Supergirl Crossover

[divider type=”thin”] The highly-anticipated and hotly-debated The Flash and Supergirl crossover episode is going down tonight. Accept it. Hate it. Embrace it if you’re feeling ballsy. Why? Because it’s gonna be Cruisin’-USA-muffler flames, that’s why! (If you don’t get that reference please ask your moms for $20, go to the mall on Friday night, and step inside the gaming Terror Dome known as the arcade. Thank me later.)

OK, here’s the thing. If you don’t watch Supergirl, or gave it a shot for 2-3 episodes and dropped it, I feel you. Some of those episodes in the first half of the season were New York City garbage-truck-liquid-dripping-out-the-back trash. Getting to know Supergirl and understanding her alter ego, Kara Zor El, wasn’t always the easiest; fully comprehending the backstory and her journey from Krypton to Earth took some time. There were upsides though, including becoming familiar with Kara’s dope-with-the-hands sister Alex, which was a pleasant surprise, and witnessing Kara and Alex’s boss turn out to be Martian Manhunter, which was amazing. That said, let me tell you something: the show is good. I won’t go out on a limb and call it amazing or on the same level as The Flash or Daredevil, but it’s very well written and it features dope female characters with immense powers, which is a rarity in the hyper-masculine superhero world. Shout out to Jessica Jones and Agent Carter. [title type=”h2″]The Crossover[/title]
