The rise of fantasy on TV has had its ups and downs, with some promising shows getting cancelled and others stalled indefinitely. However, the successful fantasy series of the 2020s demonstrate that the genre can work well on television, giving fans optimism for upcoming adaptations like Fourth Wing and The Stormlight Archive.

Supergirl’s death was meant to represent the end of an era for DC Comics, marking a shift from the Silver and Bronze Ages – that was the purpose of the Crisis event. However, her story didn’t truly end. In comic books, characters rarely stay gone. After Crisis, DC altered the history of Krypton, initially making Superman the only survivor. Later, readers were introduced to a new Supergirl from another world: Matrix. Created by Lex Luthor, Matrix was a shapeshifting being who took on the role of Supergirl on her own Earth. Eventually, she returned to the main Earth and continued as Supergirl, even falling in love with a younger version of Lex Luthor (a clone). This all led to what many consider the best version of the character: Linda Danvers, featured in the classic Supergirl series (Vol. 4) #1-80, written by the acclaimed Peter David.

When you watch it again, you begin to notice how key ideas are subtly introduced through recurring lines and images. You also realize each season cleverly reuses the same galactic setting in new ways. The truly great episodes create a sense of a vast, connected galaxy without making it feel limited, and that’s what keeps viewers engaged and returning for more.
