You can always use the cop-out from the 2006 series: if the crop top means you're too distracted by her tummy to see her fists coming, then it's working. (I mean, look, we all get that it's pandering, but who doesn't like being pandered to now and again?)

Man, if I were Spider-Man, I would've chosen a different way to dodge there. That... could have ended very poorly if he mistimed it...
@Vandy I think it's probably because I find the character to be completely redundant. I'm sure there's a coherent and compelling argument for why she's not (which Eddie is typing up furiously) but I've never felt she brings anything particularly necessary to the Superman mythos.
No argument here. Just glares.
I don't think I've ever been as disinterested in any character as much as I am in Supergirl.
Every single adaptation of the character has left me completely cold.
Future generations will remember this as the day @Morden Man became dead to me.
But then you'll miss Red Tornado...
No great loss in this case. His live-action debut was a bit underwhelming.

I thought they weren't gonna connect it to Flash and Arrow anyway. I might just watch the Flash episode and be on my merry way. Unless I uber like it and then binge watch time (that's what happened with Arrow).
Well, they're separate universes, so it's gonna be a one-time crossover between their Earths.
EDIT: @Vandy I can't help throwing shade. I'm like Cloak that way. Although you can't deny that it is a better Super-family offering. After all, MoS' Kara died in a prequel comic, so we're not gonna see her anytime soon.
@Eddie Brock ugh. I am gonna have to watch that later this month as Flash turns up.
I have only watched episode 1 tbh but wasn't impressed.
The first episode is... rough. Things start slowly trending upwards after that. It has its cringe from time to time, but it's a far better Super-family offering than we're getting in theaters.
It's a sad world where Supergirl's Maxwell Lord is a better Lex Luthor than the one we're getting on the big screen. (Not to disparage Supergirl, either. It's turned out to be a pleasant surprise among DC's live action offerings.)
Spider-Man shouldn't be an Avenger. He just shouldn't. He should bungle the interview or run late Day 1 and get the boot or just turn them down for some prideful reason, but he should never actually make the team. As soon as you put the resources of Stark and the Avengers at his back, Spider-Man loses his underdog status, and that's a tragedy.
@TimeMasterX It just rubbed me the wrong way, I guess. It'd be like if your buddy picked you up to take you "somewhere" on your birthday, and you asked him, "Are we going to a surprise party?" and he said, "What? No! You're crazy, man." Then he proceeded to drive around aimlessly, pretending to go on various errands, before finally taking you to the surprise party and going, "Gotcha!" They just overplayed their hand with the whole, "Oh no! My identity's about to be reveale-- oh look, deus ex machina."
But like I said, the identity mystery wasn't what turned me off. It was incidents like the Absorbing Man fight where they focused more on "Yay, girl power! Down with misogyny!" than telling a good story.
