Supergirl Season 2: 7 Ups And 2 Downs From 'The Adventures Of Supergirl'
4. Making
A Stand
The CW
Whilst this season premiere very much feels
all about the ones parading around in capes and with a big S on their chests, J’onn
J’onzz isn’t one to be easily swayed from his point of view, as seen when we
witness the frosty greeting between he and Kal-El.
Since we were first introduced to “Hank
Henshaw”, we’ve seen that he’s a very proud, stubborn, by-the-book sort of guy
(or is that alien?) for the most part. And here we see him clearly refusing to
drop the chip on his shoulder even though all around him are gushing over the God-like
presence of Superman.
What was great about that is that is highlighted the tenacity and determined nature of the Martian Manhunter, with him refusing to get carried around with the presence of Superman whilst all of those around him were left swooning.
The Martian Manhunter may not get as much superhero action to take part in as Supergirl - or as the Man of Steel here - but his iron will here saw that J'onn J'onzz isn't somebody to back down from an argument... even if the person on the other end of the conflict is the greatest superhero in existence.
Once described as the Swiss Army Knife of WhatCulture, Andrew can usually be found writing, editing, or presenting on a wide range of topics.
As a lifelong wrestling fan, horror obsessive, and comic book nerd, he's been covering those topics professionally as far back as 2010. In addition to his current WhatCulture role of Senior Content Producer and Presenter, Andrew previously spent nearly a decade as Online Editor and Lead Writer for the world's longest-running genre publication, Starburst Magazine, and his work has also been featured on BBC, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, WhatToWatch, Sportkskeeda, and various other outlets, in addition to being a Rotten Tomatoes-approved film critic.
Between his main day job, his role as lead panel host of Wales Comic Con, and his gig as a pre-match host for Wrexham AFC games, Andrew has also carried out a hugely varied amount of interviews, from the likes of Robert Englund and Eli Roth to Kevin Smith and the Russo Brothers, to Kevin Conroy and Frank Miller, to Bret Hart and Sting, to Mickey Thomas, Joey Jones, Phil Parkinson, and Brian Flynn, to many, many more. Where his beloved Wrexham AFC is concerned, Andrew is a long-standing season ticket holder and an FSA Award-winner for his time co-hosting the Fearless in Devotion podcast.
