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
