Supergirl Season 1: 10 Big Questions From 'Human For A Day'
6. Is Supergirl Now A Symbol Of Hope?
Previously, weve seen Supergirl save the day and almost become taken for granted a little as she effortlessly takes down any and all threats on National City. But here, have we maybe seen a change in attitude towards the Girl of Steel? Even though the public isnt certain that shes lost her powers, when James Olsen captures a picture of a totally powerless Supergirl having a goon handing over a gun to her, that picture did indeed speak a 1,000 words. It showed a side to Supergirl that maybe the public hadnt seen; a side that wasnt about ice breath, heat vision, flying, or any other superpower. Instead, the public saw Supergirls humanity and how its possible to resolve problems without necessary having the powers of an alien whose strength comes from Earths yellow sun. Supergirl gave hope to National City, and gave them the belief that you dont need powers to be able to do the job of a hero.
