You may know this about me, but I will forgive you if you do not, I love Supergirl.  I mean, I also love Superman but it is for different reasons.  I think they are both stronger for the relationship they have to each other in that Superman is the “adult” and the aspirational character.  In theory Superman represents the best of what we can be.  Supergirl on the other hand is interesting to me because she represents someone with the same abilities who is still learning.  It means on an actual personal level I find her more interesting than Superman thoguh I think both are suited for very good stories when done right (and I’ll go ahead and say it, dark and gritty is not doing Superman right).  I think there is a lot to dig through with the idea of a woman who could be considered the most powerful person on the planet but can’t get out of the shadow of a man but I don’t even think it needs to go that way so much as there is something very human about knowing you have the ability to be great but having to work to get there.  Of having a certain standard thrust upon you that isn’t really of your choosing but it’s what you are going to be held to.  So I am excited about the TV show and this post is about Supergirl but I am not posting Supergirl.  I have done that in the past.  This post is about Melissa Benoist who I thought did very well as Supergirl.  It seems to me that it’s a role that could have gone wrong in so many ways but… I really liked her in it.  The show is a little rough around the edges but I liked her a lot.  So today I want to fuck Melissa Benoist.
