A Bittersweet End
I am going to start this out by saying I had no expectations for Supergirl Season 6. I might have watched all the previous seasons, but I was disappointed with the last or last 2 season(s). Although I adore Supergirl and the Super Friends, the plots were often average. Now thinking back, I can't even name a Supergirl villain that stuck to me.
That being said, this final season of Supergirl was much better than the previous seasons. It got me hooked onto the show and there were times when I was actually emotional. Although the villains were way below mid, the storylines were solid. And the action, I absolutely enjoyed it. Even the character developments were good. As a Supergirl season, season 6 was one of the better ones. As a final season, I believe it could have been better plotted.
Lets start with the villains. I'm not saying Nyxly was a marvellous villain but because of her existence and actions, it created several great storylines, especially the role it played into Kara's self-realisation, then development.
Lex on the other hand, his arc was so weirdly written. The Lex Luthor I was used to disappeared in season 6, for real. Him being in love really ruined his arc, when he could have gone down as one of the show's better villains. But, I like what the writers did with this character. I mean, people have tried to kill Lex, he lived. People have tried to incarcerate Lex, he walked away scott free. Other than the Phantom Zone, I doubt there would be another way to get rid of Lex once and for all.
As for Lillian. I hated her throughout all 6 seasons. I really did not like the idea of her redemption in the end but her redemption meant enlightenment for Lena. For that, I eventually accepted that there was a redemption arc for this infuriating woman. Perhaps, if her redemption was shown gradually through this last season, I might not have disliked the idea as much.
Through the entire season, I enjoyed more than I was bored. I liked more than I disliked. Unfortunately, there was something I seriously wished the writers never wrote down. What happened to William did not need to happen, or at least, not to him. It's not as if William's death meant the whole Super Friends was going on a revenge path, so why bring him back from being shot only to have him go permanently by being shot? He was the one character I constantly wished nothing happened to him since his first appearance...
Moving on to brighter topics, lets talk about Kelly. First thing first, that episode that was Kelly-centric? Wow. It was the first time Azie Tesfai impressed me. The way Tesfai portrayed Kelly in the episode, it was almost like I could feel everything Kelly was experiencing. Then came their wedding scene and I am never one for vows, not a romantic and could care less about wedding vows. However, Kelly's vows to Alex touched my heart. I really don't know if it's the words, Tesfai's acting, or the combination of both. Whatever it is, I finished Supergirl extremely aware of what a magnificent actress Tesfai is.
Next, Nia. Not only did Nia (and Dreamer) grow, Nicole Maines improved so much too. I never disliked Maines nor her character but the acting always felt a little awkward. Usually, I just let it go because if Nia is one awkward girl, Dreamer will be awkward too and thus the awkward acting. This last season proved me wrong because I still see awkward Nia but the acting very obviously improved. Completely off the tangent here but when Nia confronted Maeve? Atta girl! I loved it when Nia told her sister, she will not forgive her but she can give a second chance. That's the way, actually. How do people forgive without seeing how others handle their second chances?
Lastly, Kara's character arc. I have always loved it when Kara showed vulnerability. In this season, she's practically always vulnerable even when she's not actively attacked. It hurts to watch Supergirl lose hope so often but then the way the smallest things brought back some hope to her? Love it. The courage plot was something else too, something I did not see play out the way it did. As much as I loved it, I still don't know how I feel about the season ending with the world finding out Supergirl's identity.
After watching several Arrowverse shows consecutively, Supergirl was a nice end before a break from the Arrowverse TV shows. Although Kara and Mon-El are not endgame, I am still very happy that the finale brought back the old faces.
Rating: ★★★★☆

28. The Killiam-Romance, that was supposed to finally move forward in Season 6 (Supergirl)
When asked about Season 6 between the Covid-Shutdown and the start of filming the Final Season the one thing we were told would happen in Season 6 was, that the „slow burning romance between Kara and William would continue“. And of course nothting of that sort happened. As soon as Kara was back on Earth, we learned William had started dating someone else, and the topic was never brought up again.
Now, I know that there were many fans, that were against that romance, but that was not even the reason the writers dropped that storyline, they dropped it because it was the last season and Supergirl is supposed to be single because having a partner, especially a male one, is anti-feminist. Only singles rule (which is why they split up Harley and Ivy in the Comicy by the way). So no the frozen burn romance just totally stopped.
If that would not have been the case William’s Death would have least been really tragic, but maybe that was the the main reason they gave up on the romance alltogether, because they felt that they couldn’t have killed of William, if he and Kara would have gotten serious at some point. Well, if that is the case, one more reason to actually have the romance: Because then William would not have died.
In any case, they just forgot about that romance, so they could spend even less time with Kara once she was back than they did when she was trapped in the Phantom Zone. By giving her a love life she would have had at least some character development beyond PTSD and totally giving up on Kara Danvers in the final season. But since they wanted her to only be Supergirl as much as possible in the Final Season, they were probably glad to have one less reason for her to put on the Kara Danvers-Persona so to speak.
In six seasons Kara had three major romances, that all lead nowhere, in all three cases because the writers lost interest. Compare that to what was going on in all the other Arrowverse Shows - even „Batwoman“ finally managed to get a long time romance in with Season 3, but „Supergirl“ was just an example for the fact that women, who date men, are seen as weak and are not hero-material in the eyes of the world, while men get to date women and be heroes all the time. So much for feminism.
And they did not even have them date for a little bit and then split up, no, this was even worse than the Karolsen-Shit they pulled back at the beginning of Season 2. They spent an entire season building something up, only to have it not happen at all. Back to Built Up with no Pay-Off again. That is the general writing of „Supergirl“ for you in a nutshell.

General Dethklok/Managerial Headcanons :3
A/N: this may or may not be dry asf i'm writing b4 the hcs so i don't forget😭😭
this is NOT proofread
Nathan Explosion :
i think he's like 6'5
its just this weird hunch i have
definitely somewhere from 28-35
i don't make the rules man😔
obviously Native American from the whole bloodlines episode
i can't remember what it's called for the life of me😭
i don't have any other nationality hcs for him
i think the show does it well enough
has gauges idc
they probably aren't hella big, but they're there
maybe an industrial or some kind of cartilage piercing
i think his favorite song they've made is Mutilation on a Saturday Night
it makes him think of early dethklok without the prophecies and shit
favorite album is the Dethalbum
probably has a bias bc it's the first project they did (totally not projecting rn😭)
song that makes me think of him is Ugly Model Mannequin by Cane Hill
idk why, it just does
Skwisgaar Skwigelf :
he's 6'10 NO ONE can convince me otherwise
his tagline isn't "taller than a tree" for nothing man
i saw someone say that Brendon himself said Nathan and Skwisgaar are the same age, so i'm not touching on that
biggest Swede ever man
like he quite literally had the Swedish flag on his belt buckle in Doomstar Requiem
go look it up i'm not joking
but maybe his dad is from like Switzerland to make him a slight bit more interesting
i doubt that he'd have any piercings
maybe his ears but that's it
i just cant see him with anything crazy
someone mentioned an elf ear body mod for him
makes sense that fairy
that last one was uncalled for hold on😭😭
this guys favorite song is awaken
he just loves the instrumentals
the little do-do-do-do do do do do do they do
idk how to explain it just go give it a listen😭
favorite album is the Dethalbum III
i think he likes how all the songs sound similar, so it isn't hard to remember the riffs (don't mention my terminology i am the farthest thing from a guitarist😭)
song that reminds me of him is Viking by Slaughter to Prevail
i just think he relates to the whole viking lineage thing
also the breakdown goes HARDDD
Toki Wartooth :
maybe like 6'1
this is going off gut feeling, not anything related to the show
i think he's like 25
he didn't look that old in Doomstar Requiem
the type of guy to sneak in like 20 cats and give them treats to not make noise
i think he regresses to like 6-7
idk why i just think yk
i think he also has gagues
they're probably white
he totally has an eyebrow piercing that pickles did in like 1900 BC that he didn't want anymore so he just let that hoe close
i think with the way his family is he would just be 100% Norwegian
no ifs not buts
might know some Latin
probably just prayers and shit like that
his favorite song they've made is Dethharmonic
or the Deththeme
for Dethharmonic he likes the orchestral elements
for the Deththeme he just likes that his name is first😭
i'd say his favorite album is the second one
just bc the album cover is purple, literally no other reason
probably bc it stands out from all other death metal albums
purple probably isn't considered a "metal" color (it should be though)
a song that reminds me of him is Summer Breeze by Type O Negative
i think he'd appreciate how chill it is
Pickles the Drummer :
bro easily 5'6-5'8
he's a short king
Wisconsin 100% his family is from no where else
like the drummer family goes back to the 13 colonies
obviously he has four piercings
those eyebrow ones
i think he has some on his ears
cartilage but not industrial
his favorite song they've made is Hatredcopter
he just loves how he sounded and the drums (based)
i forgot to say how old he is
he's the oldest, so i'd say like 39
they're not allowed to be 40 bc i said so
i think his favorite album is Dethalbum IV
it just makes him proud to see how far they've come since Dethalbum I
a song that makes me think of him is Wrong Way by Sublime
and Your Mama Won't Know by Pretty Boy Floyd
he's most definitely taunting TF out of the band with that "mom" shit
"go get mommy a bottle" "give mommy the remote"
he's insufferable (i would be too)
William Murderface :
he's 5'10 and i HAVE to be firm on that
probably like 30
MAYBEEE 33 if i feel generous
he hates pickles
the food, not the drummer
along with Toki, he also loves Christmas
it just "isn't brutal" so he won't admit it
he's like a 5 year old when that shit rolls around
that's why he wanted that special so damn bad
his favorite album is also Dethalbum IV
he just loves the new sound
a song that reminds me of him is Subliminal by Suicidal Tendencies
i feel like he'd like their whole self titled and Lights... Camera... Revolution
i cant speak for all of Freedumb, bc i only listen to Cyco Vision, but he'd like that song too
i get a big Murderface vibe from them
maybe it's the whole punk thing
and Murderface being a Nihilist
it just ties it all together with a nice big blood red bow
i think hes latino like i've seen everyone say
he can probably speak Spanish well
speaks the Spain dialect (i'm not very educated about this tell me all abt it in either reblogs or comments)
Charles Offdensen :
he's like 6'2 or 6'3
i cant decide
i think it would be so funny if he was like 40 and the band made him seem 56
in reality he's probably like 42
that seems right to me
went to some high end law school
i'm pretty sure that's when they said he jousted
idk i just remember he can do it
i like to think he's wasian
Korean and Swiss if we wanna be specific
he grew up in American bc i love my country✊🏻😔😔
anyway, i say wasian bc he has a monolid i think
at least it looks like it to me
maybe it's just his glasses hiding it who knows
probably from the middle of buttfuck nowhere
like some place in Oregon
his favorite album is the Doomstar Requiem soundtrack
IDC WHAT YALL HAVE TO SAY
i think he likes how fun it is
and is very cocky about how good his parts are
his favorite song tho is Poisoned by Food
the opening scream is his shit
a song that reminds me of him is Visage by LANDMVRKS
it's kind of quiet at the beginning which helps him lock in for the rest of the song and all the songs after it
probably listens to metal all day, then goes to bed and listens to some goth shit
maybe even classical if he's feeling posh
wasn't raised religious, but still celebrated the holidays
the christian ones specifically
a canon fidgeter
in Dethdinner he was wiggling his fingers
thank you to that one charles lover with the spreadsheet of his behaviors i forget their handle
they pointed it out and i've geeked abt it ever since
Abigail Remedlindrinc :
don't quote me on her last name i cant spell that fuckin thing😭
i think she's like 5'8 easily
probably 34
not much older than Murderface but definitely not younger
shes probably from somewhere normal like Pittsburgh
ofc i say where i'm from for normal
anyway she's definitely not from PA idk what i was on abt
i cant think of a specific place she'd be from
i feel bad i don't have much for her i love her sm
she probably still has Nathan's number saved
in my heart they're still best friends
in canon god does she hate him
she's just so amazing i love her
Dick Knubbler :
this man omfg
he's like 5'10 too
maybe 5'11 on a good day
he looks old
maybe like 40
up there with charles 100%
hes such a goofy mf i hate him
but like i hate him lightheartedly
my dad loves him he thinks he's funny
he looks like the type of mf to talk in his sleep
he definitely rolls around a lot too
has to have a big ass bed or his frail ass will fall off
i think of him when i hear any pop song from the 80s
like Taylor Dayne, and Prince even though i think he was 90s
idk man i wasn't alive😭
