@JenLRossman@HumanStargazer Thank you for that. I will try not to be rude to Lena but no promises. I am so mad right now. Even move mad then after Kara and Mon-el were torn apart. I just hate what Lena did so much.
@JenLRossman You can totally acknowledge Lena’s pain and still say: this crossed a line — and the show treating it like something they can just “move past” without real accountability is… not it.
@JenLRossman The physical pain she causes Kara in that moment reads as abuse — not “angst,” not “messy feelings,” but an abusive dynamic. And that’s what breaks it for me: Kara isn’t a threat there. Kara’s trying to de-escalate, trying to explain, trying to reach her. +
@JenLRossman Meanwhile Lena chooses control and punishment, and kryptonite isn’t just a symbol, it’s a weapon tailored to Kara’s body. Hurt doesn’t make that okay. Betrayal doesn’t make that okay. If you flip the framing to any non-superhero context, it’s immediately obvious how wrong it is.
@kgrcth@JenLRossman “All she wanted was honesty” doesn’t match what she did after she found out. Lena’s reaction wasn’t about honesty — it was about punishment. That’s why I can’t call her justified.
@JenLRossman That kind of “you hurt me so I’ll destroy your life” framing isn’t cute romance drama. If it’s romantic, it edges into coercive control/abuse-coded territory, with Kara as the one getting harmed. And that’s the problem—if you put them together after that.
@kgrcth@JenLRossman Nia and Lena aren’t the same situation. Kara’s allowed to trust different people at different times, especially with something that huge.
Lena’s pain may be valid, but acting like Kara was obligated to disclose on Lena’s schedule is unfair.And the aftermath pretty much proves it.
@JenLRossman I think earlier in the season Kara said that Imra looks like a Greek goddes.
And now Mon-El said something like "The Greek gods have nothing on you" for the way she solved the Reign problem.
