#admittedly I was thinking of supergirl's latter seasons when writing this post

I think I've put my finger on one of the main problems I have with modern superhero media

we've somehow entered an era where a lot of superheroes are admittedly a bit op, but instead of creating compelling villains who challenge the heroes in ways other than physical strength and power, it feels like a lot of the solutions have been just throw the old (or new) gods at them

which like COULD be compelling if it wasn't constantly "ooh evil big bad can erase your loved ones with the snap of a finger so scaaaaaary" I'm so bored y'all I miss smart, funny, talented villains
