well..
so let’s start with what I liked:
-the concept
-Kara and Barry interacting is always fun! they’re both such cute little nerdy balls of sunshine
-any Jeremy Jordan singing is better than no Jeremy Jordan singing
-the Music Meister
-the looks on Kara and Barry’s faces when they saw not-Mon-El and not-Iris were honestly so gold
-the Superfriends song
-the ending scene with Barry singing to Iris oh my god I don’t even watch The Flash and I thought my heart was going to burst that was so cute
It was pretty great in a lot of ways! It was ridiculous and I love that! I don’t like serious things. I like Kara and Barry and musicals!
But overall I was pretty disappointed?
Most of my problem with it was just that I really don’t like Mon-El and Kara together, so I was just really not into the whole thing with their love saving the day and being the center of everything. Like I’m one of the people who actually doesn’t dislike Mon-El, and I don’t think he should never be forgiven, but I think that he’s terrible for Kara romantically and I think the forgiveness should have come like.. more than 24 hours later. The episode was also just a whole lot more alloromantic and straight than I signed up for.
Also, I wanted more of the characters involved? Like I know that technically it was an episode of The Flash so it makes more sense for more of those characters to be there but it was a crossover so I was expecting to see some Supergirl people there? I’m so glad not-Winn was there but he was barely there and they could have had some others. I deserve to see Lena Luthor in a musical in Kara’s head, damn it.
My other issue was that for a musical I wasn’t crazy about the musical aspect. There wasn’t really as much song as I expected and the songs that did exist were mostly really uninspiring. I was kind of surprised that most were pre-existing songs kind of just thrown in? I don’t know, I just thought the transitions from not singing to singing were really awkward and I know it’s because it’s not a real musical and they were confused but as a musical fan I was just like Oh :(. I almost fell asleep during the song the three dads sang.
So like I didn’t hate the episode but I’m super resentful about the way the Mon-El situation went down and the music was underwhelming
