Supergirl, super suck

I am not sure if it is a form of misogyny to treat female centered television shows differently than male centered ones.  What I mean by this statement is television producers, television writers and the entire industry.  I am a big fan of Superman,  but not a five star geek variety.  I consume all super hero stuff, but Superman will always be the best.  BUT why the Misogyny?  It is very subtle, but when you see it, it sticks out like a sore thumb.  

There is a new television show called Supergirl.  It really sucks.  Let me list the reasons.  Supergirl, not Superwoman, might as well call her a sidekick along with Superdog.  Next the casting, okay I don't care who they cast for the role, but the key to a good Superman and therefore a good Superwoman is being believable as a bumbling mortal and a strong superhero in a moments change, like Christopher Reeves could do.  They selected the perfect bubble headed girl for the secret identity, but with no Super alternate identity, the bubblehead puts on a costume and is still a bubblehead.  It is not the actress, it is how she acts, and that I assume means the director wants her to act that way.  Part of the actress that is a problem is that she is physically flawed, she has a forehead scar, the character would be perfect if she was a true Kryptonian.  Makeup could cover that, airbrushing too.  Am I being misogynist?  No, it is the character, I could care less that she had bad acne or a close encounter with a door when she was young.

The character has a pose that she does when she is flying, that serves no purpose other than it is something that makes her look like a girl posing.  Superwoman is a woman, not a little girl.  If she was a little girl, then that would make sense, but the role she is playing is not a little girl.  

But this is not just the director, it is not just this show, it is the industry.  The production value is low and the budget is low.  And it looks it.  I wanted to be sure so I looked at a couple other shows.  I looked at Smallville.  That was a high production value show with good actors.  If I were to compare the two it would be clear that Supergirl has gotten the short end of the stick.  But there is The Flash and Arrow.  They are both campy contemporaries to Supergirl, they have the same poor production value, or do they?  The acting is bad, but the special effects are not.  And the characters are the correct person for the job.  The Arrow is in its fourth or fifth season, I think it sucks, but people like it.  The Flash is in its second season and I think it will go longer.  Supergirl, won't, unless something changes.  

There was a Supergirl movie.  It came out after the Superman movie.  It really sucked hard.  Does the entertainment world know that women can be strong leading characters?  Except in cartoons, I have not seen that, unless they are villains.
