From Supergirl s02e04. I have a number of issues with this show. You don't see them in my clips, but number 1 is how much time is spent on women in ankle shoes running around dark warehouses. I never thought I'd see a prime time show whose title character was always wearing OTK's. But, the costuming on other characters is really frustrating. Yes, in this episode we do see a rubber-mask alien in a decent fighting suit. Too often we get things like the shiny-pant flame girl of the previous episode or the complete and tragic wasting of Laura Benanti and personal fave Brenda Strong. The show REALLY needs to step up on the villain costuming. This is a deep cast of beautiful and capable women. And far, far too often they end up shod in ankle shoes.
One last thing, Supergirl spends too much time getting her ass-kicked rather than kicking ass.
A decade ago, Katie McGrath's Lena Luthor business attire would probably have included a pair of very expensive black leather snakeskin -textured knee high boots.
ReplyDeleteAh, well...
Safe to say. The heyday of Chuck and Nikita were 8 or 9 years ago and I do think the current CW line-up would be much bootier if it had been costumed back then.
DeleteSomebody in the costume department must have read my plea.
