The Supergirl series finale aired Tuesday night. Melissa Benoist and Katie McGrath’s Supergirl and Lena Luthor did not end up as a romantic couple in the show itself, something the couple’s “broadcasters” could (dubbed) perhaps. the head of L. was). -Corp and Supergirl, you know, have “Super” in their name) were disappointed, even though they knew the odds were not what happened in the episode.
Remarkable recent relationships between same-sex characters in significant series such as HBO Max’s Harley Quinn and Netflix’s Princesses of Power (as well as the groundbreaking, albeit relatively discreet, 2014 series finale of The Legend of Korra) have changed the game. Slightly in the way of opportunities for fans of gay expeditions, so fans were still frustrated that the series had not made Supercorp the rule in the final.
“The Expedition” was a big part of fandom as long as there was popular fiction, and TV shows often rely on fans ‘interest in the series’ romantic couples to keep fans interested. The only problem is that the “official” financing of the ships so far has concerned almost exclusively stationary ships. Think Sam and Diane in Cheers, Ross, Rachel in Friends, and Maddie and David in Moonlighting. But when it comes to same-sex expeditions, TV series are more dependent on fan movements than anything else.
This, of course, made these senders feel like they were almost being exploited when it came to their fans. The most common term in the Supercorps world is queerbaiting.
Queerbaiting is the practice of proposing a homosexual relationship to arouse the interest of the so-called couple without ever having the intention of making the relationship hot. It was much more understandable as the creators literally could not make these relationships the norm. Hence, the tracks were the best they could do, but the practice continues today, while other shows are ready to do more. Homosexual relationships. After all, marriage was literally at the center of Supergirl’s ending between two women.
Supercorp fans think that the Supergirl series was wrong with Supercorp, as the Kara / Lena relationship has been strongly emphasized in the series since season 2, and they decide to kiss Supergirl and completely give up their secret identity) in Kara and Lena. Kara tells her as she cries, “Of all the friends I’ve ever had, you pushed me the hardest.” which caused me more. “Then hug you, and Lena whispers, ‘You made me a better person. Thank you very much.’
The reaction from Supercorp fans on social media has ranged from simply accepting pairing as a rule, whether the show recognizes it or not.
