Stargirl and America Chavez

 

I was sorry to see the series end, but I enjoyed the final episode of Stargirl.  I especially liked the final few minutes where some closure was given to all of the ongoing plot lines.  I was introduced to America Chavez in the last Doctor Strange movie, but I can't say that I know too much about her as she was treated more like a plot device than a fully developed character.  Hopefully future appearances will help to define her a little bit better.

Star Girl still gets an occasional rumor of making one more appearance. Since Batwoman did make it back from limbo, perhaps fans don't have to think it's Impossible.
They look like they could be cruising N.Y.

Personally, I found the America Chavez of "Dr. Strange 2" much more interesting than the semi-spoiled brat who indirectly got one of her classmates killed in the third episode of "Star Girl" Season One. I permanently lost interest in the series after that!

@Anon745: now, let's be fair. She did seem to get a little more mature and responsible (a la Peter Parker) as the series wore on. At least, that's the impression I got.

I do wish we had some news on when we'll be seeing American Chavez next in the MCU. Looking at what's still to come in Phase 5, I suppose she could make a surprise appearance on Loki and/or Agatha: Coven of Chaos, but an official announcement would be nice. Of course we don't really know much about Phase 6, but I'd rather not wait that long.

@Tobor: When Stargirl first premiered, there was talk that the next crossover event would have the DC shows divided into pairs, with Stargirl and The Flash being the only pair explicitly named. The producers of the former show were especially keen on that event, but it's up to the producers on the latter to make it happen; I think it very well might, and I'm hopeful. If nothing else, it'd be great to see John Wesley Shipp suit up as Jay Garrick one last time.

From what I've heard, Stargirl is about crossover in the second half of the 4th season of Titans.

Let's see if she can make them "mature and responsible" (he said, remembering how that incarnation swore like Robert Deniro wanna-be's...minus his acting talent).

Jay Johnson said...

I thought America was one of the more rounded characters in that movie, since everybody but Doc and Wanda were treated as either plot devices or Easter eggs (Wong, the Illuminati, etc.)

PS: I've been watching The Adventures of Puss in Boots on Netflix (centered on the character from Shrek), and I've been entertained by the addle-brained antics of Artephius. I don't know if it's possible, but I'd like to find some way to see him here with Pinky and/or Zoot.

Or, failing that, a four-way team up between Zoot, Zook, Schmoo, and Groo the Wanderer.

Instagram had a post that mentioned a final season on HBOMax. Fingers crossed.

@Bob G: i was shocked to see Batwoman was brought back to life AND took Batwoman from ...a different timeline was used as a villain without using the batman who giggles.
That Superman is not on the Flash's Earth, but Supergirl is doesn't work completely.

YES, i know Superman might still be on Supergirl's Earth...but since there has been no reference to Clark or Lois while everyone else has been referenced (even being off planet) i really don't think so. I would still like to be proven wrong.

In the story frame, there could be a reason....a DUMB reason...but....
This universe is a result of the Crisis. It was affected as an "egg" by its "parent" Oliver Queen, the Spectre. Ollie was "affected" by not being the alpha male when in Clark's presence.(Ollie puffing his chest??!?)
My belief, those of you in the jury, is that to keep a good conscience, Ollie gave Kara this Earth with Barry and Clark got an Earth of his own with Lois (just like he had originally). Clark was not there for Ollie's funeral.

And if they don't know about the new multiverse, Clark and Kara won't ever know about each other. Way to go Oliver.


Carycomic said...

Which makes the CW multiverse undeniably far more incomprehensible than the original pre-COIE multiverse of the comics allegedly ever was.

Bob Greenwade said...

Actually, it's not that bad, Cary. It just gives Superman a status not much different from post-Crisis Power Girl.

Carycomic said...

Actually, I'm afraid that comparison only further validates my viewpoint.

Carycomic said...

For one thing, the Man of Steel on "Superman & Lois" doesn't go around partially baring his chest.

What Burton Cummings, former lead singer of THE GUESS WHO, might say if he had a phobia against teleportation.

"America Chavez! Stay away from me-hee.
America Chavez! Why don't you let me be-hee?"
