Stargirl [Action, Adventure, Crime] (Page 4 of 7)

Nobody said anything about the show being generally "unrealistic". Please stop understanding the things people say that way.

Suspension of disbelief is a thing. Some scenes just bother people because they are too far off for someone's personal taste.

The timing with the clocktower scene was off. I noticed that too. It was not very high and falling down should not take more than a second or two, which would have made the timing we saw very unlikely. Who cares, though.

Well... duh? Personally, I read that as the self-ironic type of nit-picking. No idea how you understood it.

I'd definitely say this was one of the better superhero adaptions. The fact that it was made in the same spirit as its source material will most likely have helped here. Will definitely keep watching.

It is true that this show has a very family-friendly attitude, though. It's just that that does not have to be a bad thing.

well Agents of Shield isnt comic book sourced? Its just a spin off of a Marvel film series but they  have their own dubious features if you look, esp the Avengers movies that credit the heroes with fantastical feats of acrobatics?

I bet one matter that Agents is guilty of as they all are is the matter of reaction time-  the proverbial you see some thing, eg an egg,  fall off a table but cant do any thing about it until it has smashed on the floor. 

Any way I am able to enjoy any of these for what they are and dont expect to apply the same criteria to them all. Calling it degrees of suspension of belief (and stargirl requires too much) is wrong, its about different criteria. The thing about the  watch tower was Yolanda as Wildcat able to land on her feet and she did with a thud. ( you could criticize  that event,  that since she leapt after courtney  she wouldnt be able to catch her up as courtney not a  feather  fluttering  down and  courtney would hit the ground first? but thats irrelevant.)

I still dont understand your criticism of the timing of the fall from the clock tower. Are you saying it was too short or too long? It seemed to me to be some kind of pseudo SLOW MOTION effect, taking about 4-5 seconds,  so in real time maybe 2+? ( reminded me  what you get if you add lots more frames to a video then play back as normal, time is slowed down or stretched, you can see that from how the staff slowly tumbles)

I came across this Youtube video that  explains the StarGirl story from the comic books Stars & Stripe with images  taken from the comic.  The voice is a bit monotonous but it is interesting to see the similarities and departures with the live action version. The comic book version seems like a bit of a brat at the start

by the way  you can see the same time stretch effect used in the clock tower scene in eps 11 The shining Knight,at the end, when Courtney rediscovers her  belief in her self  in front of her parents in the basement and the staff comes to life again.

The only bit of the show I didnt  like was esp 11 Shining Knight the scene when Sam Kurtis having got the pendant was  walking away and Pat caught him up and  he made the crude remarks about Barbara. There was no need to ram home that he was a good for nothing .That scene was unnecessary as we had already  grasped that he was only there to get the locket , when after Courtney had given him it he immediately set off back where he came from rather than staying around to get to know Courtney & she realised that he didn't care a damn about her. That was a painful scene and didn't need the later one.

from the url Lighton gave us it was intended to show some time  in August 2019 and presumably finish in time for Xmas , as the last eps indicates. I wonder why it was delayed?

one of the issues they had to solve with this show was how on earth a bunch of kids could defeat the ISA when as we all saw at the start the experienced and full compliment of the JSA couldnt. In fact Pat does mention this matter  when Courtney suggests a new JSA.

Season 2 trailer and info  ( Coming Tuesday, August 10)

season 1 . The Shining Knight's horse. The original script had his horse locked away in a cell next to Cyndi's but the budget wouldnt accomodate that - the horse had wings so would  have been cgi. This loss weakens The Shining Knights character I think as he comes across as a nut job living in a fantasy world, and the winged horse would have proven his story?

Stripe. The cockpit that Pat climbs into is completley separate no where near the robot which is actually real ( in the garage) & 16 foot tall. I thought it was 100% cgi

The scene after the first JSA fight where Courtney complains to Pat that the team were going to get themselves killed  was improvised and was so good that it was kept in the fnal cut

I had my doubts about season 2. Any doubts were put to rest by eps 6. Any one who decided that Stargirl was not for them as it was too family friendly should give Season 2 a whirl, so many twists and turns and any assumptions at what the season 2  would be about completely demolished by eps 6. Any fears the CW would neuter this show wrong

eps 6 was quite brutal
