DC Super Hero Girls

Can't figure out why, in the theme song, they say "We're D.C. Superhero girls!"... I mean... does Harry Potter ever say: "I'm a WB wizard!", or Punisher: "I'm a Netflix vigilante!"? No. No they did not. Because a character referencing the fact that they're actually just a character is the antithesis of the objective of cinematic storytelling, is jarring, & just plain weird.

Quick side note, terrible shows can't always just be justified with "it's a kids show". Kids deserve quality too.

The show focuses on short adventures from perspective of female superheros. That's pretty much it.

I don't mind that there is a female focus, what really bugs me though is that they are teenagers and their adventures are just average teenage girl things disguised with the superhero genre.

Like there is an episode about batgirl trying to get her liscense, I won't spoil it but think of the most unoriginal ending and the first one that comes to mind is pretty much what happens.

The people behind this obviously had no creative stories so they disguised their unoriginal material with superheros so kids won't get bored straight away.

The run time is short though so it won't make you suffer for too long but the short run time makes it more pointless to watch.

If you want to entertain your (very) young kids with just a simple then this isn't the worst option but it will become boring after a little while so I reccomend switiching over to something better

DC haven't been doing well lately. Everything they made in 2016 was below average, and everything in 2017 (except for The Lego Batman Movie and Wonder Woman) that they've made or are making don't really interest me too much. This show is for some reason ''Decent enough'' as in, the new world they've made for the girls is sort of interesting and I guess it's kinda fun to see what happens in their everyday school life? I mean, there's still low brow humour but I guess I can't complain because everyone does it in kids shows nowadays but for Christs sake kids are also treated to shows like Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces Of Evil, Steven Universe, and The Loud House so why does no one care about kids animation? Just put effort into your work is what I'm saying. Other than the plot, there's not much left to be honest. The voice acting is good (Tara Strong as Harley Quinn is a great example), the animation isn't the worst flash animation I've ever seen, the intro song is pretty good, the characters are likable and that's pretty much it. It's not the worst thing DC's made but definitely one of the weakest. Little girls will love this. My cousins like it. So there is SOME appeal. My main criticisms with the show is mainly the lack of adult appeal if adults are watching this with their kids, the animation is fine and lazy at the same time, and one that is pretty much my only pet peeve with the show because I'm a DC fanboy is Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy becoming heroes. Harley is a school prankster in this one and her craziness which usually adds to her charm in most DC animation is now over the top to the point where I want her to shut up, and Poison Ivy hasn't done anything to become a hero, she's just, THERE. I don't know, just a fanboy problem. This show if fine. It's average. Kids will eat this up while I sit here waiting for Justice League to come out so I can see if it's good.

It's for little kids.

That's really all the review you need.

My four year old watches it, and loves it. And, it is appropriate for her age level - it has nothing for me to be concerned about her seeing.

Some adults have offered unfavourable reviews, but, they are being ridiculous, as it is obviously not to be judged on whether or not adults enjoy the show; children are it's target audience.

Your kid will like it, and that's all that matters.

SHow is really good, with the whole having good values and such isn't bad. I have 2 4 year old's who love the show. Which is the target demographic.

I really want to address the crazies who are bashing the show on 2 particular points.

"The source material that the show is based on is too inappropriate" is just nuts :) The characters aren't the same, its a whole new universe, deal with it. Simply just does expose them to the source material, it's our job as parents to expose them the those things or not. So an "Assassin" is in the actual show... she isn't in the show, and that's all that matters.

"It's not canon" ... chill, so what if wonder woman's not in the same class as superman, and batman. That needed to be a thing, but seriously chill out. I'm all about thing being canon, but a kids show is just that, for kids. What a great way to introduce kids/girls to comics. I watch/read all kinds of comics and she knows who I'm reading about and asks me about it. "Does flash know Supergirl?" it's awesome to talk superheroes with my kids.

PS also all the people upset about teen titans go about the same thing.... It's not the same show as the canceled one, and not for you.
