Stargirl season two review

 Stargirl season two review 

 

Intro: Did anyone else think that the subtitle for this season should have been nightmare on Blue valley instead of Summer School? 

Stargirl season two: This season takes place six months after the event from last season and the gang is looking for what's left of the ISA. One day they learn that the of the former members of the ISA called the Shade is in Blue Valley, he's looking for a McGuffin that contains a nemesis of the JSA called Eclipso. Meanwhile Cindy Burman returns wanting to finish what she started. During her fight with the new JSA Eclipso is free to reign terror on Blue Valley, so Courtney and the others have to stop him. 

This season feels like an overextended Power Rangers episode without the Megazord fights. I say that because of how cheesy this season is and Eclipso could have been defeated sooner if characters did "censor" instead of fighting him. This season sets up plot points but doesn't focus on them. This season doesn't have much going on beyond characters stuff and that was hit or miss. I don't get why Summer School is the subtitle for this season when all of them are not in Summer School. There is one episode that made me question how the Green Lantern's powers work? The writers should have saved Eclipso for another season and given the legacy characters on the villain's side a chance to shine. This season introduce us to a new character that could play a big role in season three. I'm not fond of the fact that he's a pushover, do I really have to explain why. To the creator of this series please don't introduce us to another Black character if you're not going to treat them right. 

Courtney/Stargirl has an arc about balancing being Stargirl and a regular girl but the writers rushed it so what was the point? Also, the writers gave her a love interest but that didn't get enough attention. 

I like what this season has done with Yolanda/Wildcat. She's beating herself up over what she did last season and it's a big deal to her because of her upbringing. What annoys me about this is it got resolved out of nowhere. 

Thunderbolt (a member of the OG JSA) is Mr. Personality who grants wishes. You can't make any wish you have to be pacific about what you wish for and he's drawn to a certain type of person.    

Cindy is out of blood in this season. What the creator did with her at the end of the season bugs me because it has no build-up to it. 

Richard/The Shade is a wildcat in this season. I say that because Pat and the others didn't know if he can be trusted because he plays both ends against the middle. What surprised me about this character is how powerful he is.  

Eclipso (the main villain) is basically Freddy Krueger You'll see what I mean when you watch this season. He may not be scary, but he's creepy. This bad guy feeds off of people's negative emotions like fear and anger. Do you see what I mean by cheesy? I was let down by him I don't mean he's a terrible villain it's just that people make it seem like he's too powerful to stop and I don't buy it. I wish the writers would go in a different direction with this character, I can't elaborate on that without spoiling anything. Also, the way he taunts Beth in episode 8 makes me sick! I wouldn't have a problem with it if he taunts everyone the same way. 

What I like about this season is that we learn more about the JSA and its downfall. This season sets things up for the next season. Overall, this season was better than last season and that's saying a lot. With that said I still recommended this.
