Supergirl Deserved Fewer Seasons and More Superman
DC
R/DC_CINEMATICAn r/DC_Cinematic user's taking a hard stance that Supergirl should've wrapped after season one instead of grinding through multiple seasons, and that she should've had more crossover time with Superman. The criticism seems to be about narrative bloat—the show probably outstayed its welcome rather than ending on a high note. It's the kind of take that assumes earlier cancellation would've meant better storytelling or that integrating Superman earlier would've elevated the whole thing. Whether that's actually true is debatable, but it speaks to fatigue with extended DC TV shows that lose focus.
ComicsBuzz Take
This reflects a broader DCEU criticism: when spinoffs don't have clear mythological weight or a reason to exist beyond "another superhero," they struggle compared to shows that know their lane and stick to it.

"Supergirl had potential but yeah, it went on too long. One tight season would've been better."
