Kara: every time you tell me a horror story about your mother I get the overwhelming urge to drop her into a field of starving pigs.
Mon El (genuinely touched): that is literally the nicest thing that anyone has ever said to me.

Wanna laugh at something funny?
CBR: From day one, the producers stated this would not be your grandfather's Mon-El. What is "Supergirl's" take on the character?
Chris Wood: When I first sat down with the producers, they talked about the role and what they were hoping to do, as well as describing why I should come on board and hang out as this guy.
Oh loooooooook, he sat with PRODUCERS, not one producer, PRODUCERS. Like, hmm, does it mean Mon-El character was discussed by many people? So what now? He is insert of MANY PEOPLE? HE IS THE LEGION!!!! YAY!

Is anyone else slightly upset they never gave Mon-El the codename Valor or had his original birth name be Lar Gand (they really could have just used the name 'Kel Gand' for his father).

And also so LOL WTF Brainy gets to say fuck off to duty and the future and come back to Nia (which I was rooting for them don’t get me wrong) but Mon-El has to be noble and heroic and sacrifice everything forever?
Like look, in his last scene, when he gave that little pause, I thought for sure they were about to sink us by him saying that he married Tasmia and had three kids or something
but you know what, I ALMOST would have preferred that to him basically saying yeah I’m married to my work and I have zero balance in my life when it’s VERY CLEAR he’s still carrying a torch for Kara
Even more than Karamel not being endgame, I HATE the idea of him just never moving on and pining forever and that just literally makes my heart ache
I’m gonna burn things

I'm going through i miss karamel and i miss monel funk rn so bear with me here
i don't understand people that hate monel and say that he's childish and blah blah blah and that he's a bad person. I understand not liking the character, everyone has their own opinion, but to blindly hate on him and make up things about him to justify that is just idiotic.
the whole point of monel's character and his arc is that we watch him grow. when he first comes to earth, he's annoying he's stupid he makes bad decisions. that's because his life on daxam and what he has been taught (or not taught) there was all he knew. kara and his love for her is what helps him change and grow into a better person, but we don't get to see that in full because they were together for such a short time before his parents and his past comes back to haunt him. i understand being upset at him for not telling kara about who he was, but it was clear to me at least that kara was the only person that was going to be able to help him out on earth and he knew as much, as well as that she would hate him if she found out what he was (prince of daxam) before she even got to know who he is, and he WANTS her to like him and it's made clear that it's a past he wants to leave behind. he WANTS to be better than who he used to be, and we see his character grow very organically, we see in season 3 that he learns from his mistakes and become a greater person, a better man, a true hero.
so yes, maybe you can say that s2 monel is undeserving of kara, which in some ways i would honestly agree with, but with s3 monel they would have made such a beautiful, mature and healthy couple. he doesn't lie to her, he is as honest with her as he can be, he is no longer the selfish person he once was, he respects her (im still of the opinion that he always has) and he still loves her, and in so many ways he had made her his entire life, and sometimes that can be bad but in this case it was done so beautifully.
wanna add : until his parents showed up again, monel also had lost his entire world. to him there was probably no point in telling anyone who he used to be when the very things that made him what he was have been destroyed.

y’all i seriously don’t understand how people don’t like mon-el from supergirl. howww? he’s literally my favorite character, always has been. i only continued watching the show because of him, literally. i never liked kara anyway cuz i always thought she was self-righteous and arrogant. mon-el is so funny, he’s such a sweetheart and he’s incredibly cute. i don’t see how anyone can dislike him. i stopped watching the show when he left in season three cuz there was no point of me watching it anymore.

The most disappointing thing about supergirl is that we didn't get this one Karamel scene that's stuck in my head where Kara ends up bridal-style carying Mon-el.
But just think about it!
There's an evil alien that's attacking the city and it just so happens to be attacking somewhere near CatCo. Kara manages to get away to change but Mon-el can't catch up with her and now he's stuck with the civilians.
The evil alien spots him and catches him and threatens to kill him and everyone is absolutely terrified because they all think he's just a normal man and to Mon's utter and complete mortification he now needs to act like a damsel in distress.
And of course Kara wants to drag it out for as long as possible but she realises that people would think that to be too suspicious.
So she defeats the evil alien who ends up dropping Mon-el and she has to catch him and thanks to her amazing strength he barely weighs shit to her and it just so happens that Mon-el lands in her arms bridal-style.
Mon now has to now act like a civilian so he's winding his arms around Kara and thanking her for saving him and it's such a gender reverse role and it's on the front page by morning.
Mon-el never hears the end of it and Kara just starts picking him up bridal whenever she wants something of him.

Debunking lies haters spread about Mon-El – misogynist
Misogyny is a wide definitions and includes prejudice against women, social exclusion, sex discrimination, hostility, patriarchy, male privilege, belittling of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification – so it’s not “just” typical hate.
And yes, Mon-El said/did some questionable things. Aka about Eve “She wanted to please me. On Daxam, when a woman wishes to please a man...” and the fact he had no problems with moving the copying machine with her (Crossfire ep) and the line “things was easier on Daxam when I objectified women and didn’t care about anyone“ (the Mxy ep) and didn’t do what Kara said or how SCs like to say, he didn’t respect her.
But here we have few problems here.
First of all Mon-El is from a planet, where people behaved this way. And I write people, not men, because Daxam was a place when all of them where doing things like this. Do we have evidences that women were treated only like sexual objects and exist only to please men? No. Why? Because after all, Rhea - a woman, was the most powerful person on that planet and held true power, not Lar Gand, who was murdered by her and there were no consequences. No patriarchy here. No male privilege here.
But his haters love to forget the line: “on Daxam we drugged themselves to feel nothing“. We aka all people. That was the toxic culture that promoted the system where people were not dealing with feelings, but suppressing them with drugs. What caused not carrying about anything and objectifying was a part of the system.
“The more the merrier“ line, that some people say was lesbophobic and Mon-El wanted to have a threesome with Alex and Maggie is simply stupid. He was talking about having a PARTY, not having sex. Also in that bar scene he showed he was not  prejudiced against homosexuals. Daxam was a horrible place but every sexuality was seen as normal and accepted. Also, no sex discrimination.
Next, “On Daxam, when a woman wishes to please a man.” WISHES. When a woman doesn’t want to please a man, she doesn’t. SIMPLE AND OBVIOUS. What also means he never sexually harassed anyone and there are no evidences for that. I will write another piece about how some really gross people accuse him of rape and other things that didn’t happen, but that will appear in the future.
Also, friendly reminder that Eve WANTED to hook up with him. She was a woman who knew  what she wanted and did what she wanted. Making her some a clueless victim is a disrespectful for HER.
Secondly, when haters talk about his relationship with Kara is how he disrespected her as a woman.
The problem is they both clashed not because of their sexes but because of their races. They clashed because she was a Kryptonian and he was a Daxamite. They clashed because of their absolutely different upbringing.
 He didn’t listen to her?
Kara Danvers : I am trying to help you fit in and you keep messing it up.
Mon-El : Okay, I'm trying very hard to be Mike, okay? But it is not as easy as you make it sound, Kara. I'm used to doing my own thing.
Kara Danvers : Well, you don't do your own thing here. You do my thing.
Mon-El : Um, okay. And if I don't want to do your thing?
Kara Danvers : Then find another mentor.
We talk about an alien who was on Earth like for two weeks and was brought to a CatCo to start a job. I repeat, an alien from totally different culture was brought to a totally new environment to behave like a human and work. Ever heard about cultural shock? And he TRIED. But was not ready. And Kara admitted it herself, later in the ep:
“When I was younger, I had no idea what I wanted to be here on Earth. And I had a family to help me and guide me, but... ultimately I had to make my own choices. And I was trying to impose those choices on you because when you landed, I was-I was just so excited to have someone to take under my wing. To look after. I never got to do that with my cousin. But you are your own man. And your life here on Earth is going to be very different from mine, and that's fine. That's great.”
Because guess what, he was not a dog and not doing what someone else asked is not always disrespectful. It’s you know, not being a slave and having your own mind :) Also, saying someone should do what you want is not mentoring or teaching and Kara explained that herself.
When they clashed after he beat Brian, once again, it was not about her being a woman, it was about how they were using their powers and how they both seen it differently. And it once again, in the end, was about the differences between a Daxam and Krypton.
So what, he was misogynist because he was jealous of Mxy? Because he didn’t do what she asked him to? Because he was arguing with her? Because he was overprotective? Yep, we can all agree it was a shitty behavior. Once again, I understand why he behaved like that – his upbringing in Daxamite culture, ignoring the feelings and getting drugged instead of dealing with them – but his behavior was NOT PORTRAYED AS SOMETHING GOOD. And Kara CALLED HIS SHIT OUT. And after some thinking HE ADMITTED and what is more important, UNDERSTOOD HE WAS WRONG.EXPLAINED himself in a way that made sense. APOLOGIZED. And didn’t repeat this mistake.
Because you know, this was his character arc from being a problematic frat boy of the universe, to finally understanding his character issues and fixing them. That was his story. And I’m kinda surprised how people can admit the tv shows are full of macho idiotic males and how out culture is teaching them how to act wrongly and mistreat women and then when they have an actual arc of man who grasped his shit and become better, they hate on him like no tomorrow. I guess males should stay shitty for their whole lives???
And lastly - look how many times he praised her, how many times he said how awesome she was when she kicked Mxy and other idiots’ asses and how proud he was, how he has learnt to respect her decisions, how he tried to please her, how he walked away when she asked him without a word, how he was able to say how worthless he was, how he played the role of a housewife when she was dealing with criminals, how many times he gave her emotional support and simply was there when she needed it, how he took her side and could admit he was wrong - like, misogynists do stuff like that? Since when?
Yes, he was a jerk and he didn’t have any idea how to treat women, but he has learnt. Keeping things he has done in the past and ignoring his development is like depriving humans of the ability of making mistakes and learning on them. And this is a base of whole damned humanity.
