i’m rewatching supergirl s2 and unpopular opinion time, i think the reason mon-el was so widely hated by the fanbase is because we’ve come to expect a certain ideological and ethical purity from our superheroes, *especially* on supergirl, and mon-el’s character started off flawed and grew to be better, learning from supergirl, and most fans either weren’t here for it or didn’t have the patience/faith to watch him grow and develop

- also i'm the only mon-el stan anywhere ever so i gotta defend this guy
- and the best ship in s2 was maggie/alex
- anyway
- he says LESS stupid shit and apologizes MORE as the show goes on
- honestly as someone who backslides on a lot of my progress i really like him
- i also really like him because i too feel like i am mimicking Actual Human Behavior
- i want there to be 0 confusion on the point that i am a good and loyal lesbian
- like yes sometimes he says stupid shit
- mon-el
- my most widely-hated fave
- often when he backslides it's out of a place of fear and he grows past it
- supergirl
- that being said the best addition to the s2 cast was undeniably Maggie
- who cries every time alex is onscreen
