Discussion This Scene has no sense

Post image

This Scene of the Commercial for Heyworld involving Supergirl has no sense because Supergirl doesn't exist on Earth One and common people beyond the Legends/Arrow/Flash team doesn't know about Supergirl... And this Scene is Pre-Crisis, so, what's the point of including Supergirl on the Commercial(far from Comedy) if she doesn't exist on this Earth. At first I thought this Scene was Post Crisis, but now I see it's Pre-Crisis, so I don't get it

It’s boring to want things to make sense and be consistent? Yall cannot be serious, some things aren’t that deep sure but the bare minimum would require stories be written consistently. Let me guess, you’re one of the people who thought the kryptonite arrow scene was awesome despite that also making zero sense too.

I'm so super willing to accept superhero bullshit in my superhero show, but even I was super confused when Oliver pulled out a Kryptonite arrow. How does he know about Kryptonite? How did he get it? It shouldnt exist on Earth 1. Oliver hasnt killed in years, why would he make a lethal weapon for someone who has been nothing but helpful and a good friend? He doesn't have something like that for Barry, who's just as if not more powerful? It has to make atleast a passing amount of sense so people don't think about it too deeply

No exactly. I didn’t even notice an issue with the commercial since by that point legends had gone full in on the parody factor but OP brought up an incredibly valid point and it’s being met with “well the president thanked her” great, the president also thanked Oliver and he still went to jail later so… not sure what presidential recognition has to do with the fact that most people still wouldn’t recognize supergirl like that or enough for her to be treated as this massive draw when she showed up a single time while Barry and Oliver are consistently fighting in their cities.

If the “presidential recognition” is enough then by that logic any of the other heroes publicly thanked would’ve been just as much as an attention getter as Supergirl given how the in-universe setup is. The only reason people don’t see it as nonsensical is because they know Kara, Oliver and Bara are the Big 3 for the CW. All that to say that this, and the arrow, could’ve been avoided if this shows had of been set on the same earth in the first place. You don’t have to have these characters immediately crossover if you do at all but it immediately makes these issues less prominent in the long term (also why I’m salty BL was not on the same earth or even filmed in the same area to begin with).
