Is there a voice y'all have in mind for J'onn, in your comics? I always hear Carl Lumbly in my head when I read J'onn, so that's what I default to when I read your work, but I'm interested to hear any thoughts y'all may have on this!

YES I always wanted to share my thoughts on this! (thank u for the ask)! So since my take on J'onn is very different (he's younger, more emotive, and generally happier) I imagine a voice that brings a combination of a couple of actors!

It's the calm and gentle voice Carl Lumbly has (and his accent), the sternness and emotive energy of David Harewood's performance in Supergirl, and the playful take Crispin Freeman brought to the character in Justice League Action!

S417 - I Don’t Beli-eve You

General Thoughts:

okay idk why Lockwood can bring his son around to Important meetings, and I’ll let that slide, but hmmm I’m just getting red flags, totally thought that his son was going to die.

I am for Colonel Hayley being more trusting of Supergirl. Like I’ll accept if she still has to obey gov orders to do stuff on behalf on the DEO, ‘cause I think that’s in her character but I do think that she’ll be cautious about it internally because she doesn’t actually think Supergirl is capable of that kind of destruction

While the ep was about ‘Eve’ technically, I feel we didn’t really...get much of her, though we got stuff about her. Though her interaction with Red Daughter was great.

Supergirl bringing dougnuts -  heh

‘Crazy Lex Girlfriend’ Pfft.

‘ILoveLex’ ....PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. 

The Team Up

Was nice seeing Kara, Alex and Lena working together

It’s interesting to see the difference because while it may have been a bit tricky, it was easier to work around Lena when Alex knew her Supergirl identity as Kara but without Alex’s backup it was...more difficult.

Also interesting to note that I feel if Alex had her memory of Kara being Supergirl she would most likely (*cough* 100% *cough*)be more on Kara’s side in regard to Kara’s initial reaction to finding out the Harun-El was being used by Lena.

I kinda expected Kara to be angrier, otherwise, what’s the point of this having been secret? I meaan I can see Kara apologising if Lena brought up how Supergirl asked Guardian to break into the labs to destroy the kryptonite and not idk...doing it herself. Hm, I just feel like the apology happened because she didn’t have Alex to back her up. Also, if did apology was going to happen I would have thought Lena would have apologised too hm. 

Though I did like the part where Kara’s like I can’t lose. Perhaps a ‘I can’t lose’ in an actual fighting sense but also a ‘I can’t lose anymore’ in a...people/things she cares about sense.

Side note: Lena and Alex work very smoothly together and I like their dynamic.

I like at the end where Lena and Alex show their trust in Supergirl, which would make sense after them working all episode together. She definitely needs more people on her side through this whole ordeal.

Kara’s shot of trying to call J’onn made me sad though.

Lena & Lillian

WOOO I LOVE WHEN LILLIAN LUTHOR IS HERE

lol I like how she’s just like ‘yeah you should come over to our side’. Join the dark side, we have cookies.

though didn’t she say she wanted to make amends or something, weird

Those Luthor minds games are strong...tbf Lena did try to say at first that she was working with Lex but Alex interrupted her. This is definitely going to blow up later on

Lena reversed on those mind games, though - hoho I wonder what Lillian would have told her.

Lillian be like ‘okay I don’t wanna die so fine’.

J’onn and My’rnn

This, in my opinion, was the best part of the episode

No I’m not saying that because I cried in their last scene, ofc not, shh

But seriously, I just I LOVE GRANDPA MARTIAN SO MUCH

And J’onn and his struggles and finally accepting he’s the manhunter

and My’rnn being sorry for not conveying he will love J’onn no matter what

but them tieing it all up in the end

bonus soft points for when Kara kissed J’onn’s forehead...I love myself a father-daughter moment thank you so much.

(J’onn, I hope you left a message somewhere for your daughters...)

James & Kelly

I’m weak to sibling stories, I can’t help it

Also, I felt so so bad for James and his...ptsd (?). I thought it was well done how he was so against getting help, being in denial that there was anything that was wrong, but then he eventually accepted it and went to ask his sister for help

That thing where he was like ‘you’re only here when you can tell me what to do’ - like it’s obvs meant to be untrue but it’s such a sibling thing to say when you don’t want to listen. I FELT THAT. 

Kelly ofc hugs him and says that she will stay - YES YOU WOULD. 

The amount of times that James has revealed to been through this is insane, and I understand completely why he would be apprehensive when he first met Lena.

That said, uhhh if it does come out about Lena working with Lex, I wonder what James’ reaction would be, with him acknowledging he’s severely affected by it. Probably very conflicted, since the serum cured him but he’s been so tortured by the guy.

100% Kelly would be mad. 

BRAINY

HI I LOVE HIM

And I love his subtle expressions throughout this whole episode

Especially the small exchanges he has with Kara - just that silent communication in that scene with Alex. It just showcases how he can read people. And event wordlessly encourage Kara, being one of her few allies that knew who she is, this episode.

His not so subtle just happiness at getting his ring back was a blessing.

He’s just so....HE SPARKS JOY.

I also like seeing back in the lab, thank gosh, back where he belongs.

The preview looks intense...looks like the show wants to show another side of his’s ‘not a robot’ and ‘has feelings’ character. As much as Brainy being in pain would sadden me...okay pfft I’ll stop lying...GO ON BRAINY. GET ANGRY. I’M READY. PUNCH AGENT LIBERTY, GO ON! 

I’ve been waiting for Brainy to show either ego/irratation/anger for a while now. Looks like we’re getting anger.
