I do believe I am the only person on this website who finds Lena in the wrong! I love her, but this whole “give humans powers thing” just weirds me out. If it was JUST curing cancer I’d be in favor, but she explicitly wants to “level the playing field” and like...that is so not the solution. That’s like saying the only way to counter a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. It’s really showing Lena’s libertarian side which immediately makes me anxious.

I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say I agree with James, but I don’t think he’s being completely unreasonable? It’s also not out of character for the man who secretly operated as Guardian because he saw a problem in National City to meet up with the Children of Liberty alone. I wish the show would make this connection explicitly, but it felt like a good analogy for how men relate to each other and male privilege.

I don’t know. I’ve really liked the recent run of episodes and while I certainly don’t think Lena is going full evil, I like them making her be wrong or questionable.
