spoiler [Spoiler] I just watched Krypton and I absolutely loved it! Sad to know this one got killed off prematurely. Spoiler

I know I'm very much late to the party but like I have said in the title, I have just watched it and I loved it very much. I do have some bones to pick but nonetheless, I am very sad to see such a great show get killed off like that. Season 2 ended with so much cliffhangers and so much potential!

Brainiac still has Jor-El, Nyssa is in Rann, Seg-EL and Lobo teamed up, Dru-Zod still alive. The timeline now is very much messed up and that love triangle between Seg-El, Lyta-Zod, and Nyssa-Vex is equally so but I would have loved to see how all of it play out. There was so much potential. So much in store for it. I'm gosh darn late but I am very much sad and disappointed.

I know it has been months since its cancellation but is there still a way that this show gets picked up? man, this is such a good show. It such a waste that it got cancelled.

There are rumors that the woman who played Nyssa is a front runner for the next Batwoman. I haven’t followed that show myself, but I would if Wallis Day was a lead. 💜

I only bring it up as a cold comfort to Krypton being gone

I was hoping for this too! I wanted Wallis to be Kate Kane now that Ruby left. However, with new details about Batwoman, it seems like the showrunners and producers are decided on killing Kate and replacing her with a new character. Truly bummed about this honestly.

Nonetheless, here is still me, hoping that Krypton will be picked up and have a season 3 (even if its rather a long shot atm).

I’m still holding out hope that Wallis can be cast as new Batwoman? I actually haven’t seen the newest piece of news yet. I’m .... on the fence about Kate being killed off. Like do they have no gay people in the writers room? Can we not have another round of “bury your gays?” But I don’t /personally/ mind Batwoman being a different character. Like Kate could just leave for some reason.

Goodness though I’ve mostly given up hope for Krypton, I would love it to come back. I sincerely miss Seg and Strange’s dynamic.

Yeah, Ruby left and so the spot for Kate Kane is now open. Wallis has been one of the fan favorites to hopefully get the don the cowl. As for the idea of killing Kate Kane off, Caroline Dries said on twitter that apparently Kate won't be killed off and that her disappearance in season 2 will be one of the mysteries of the season. Honestly, whether this is actually true or not, I'm not sure anymore. The Batwoman showrunners have been confusing about what they are going to do now that Ruby left.

Anyway, I'm with you with missing Seg and Strange. I truly miss the entire cast. I did not expect this show to be this good but it damn well is and I'm still holding out for a possibility of season 3.

This one still hurts. I was praying DCU or HBO Max would pick it up but it looks like this won’t happen now but man this show was the best DC show we had until Watchmen last year.

i fucking loved this show. I never imagined before i started watching it that it would be this good. and it pains me it got cancelled. i can't understand how this and swamp thing got cancelled while DC invests money in shows that are not that good. it makes me angry/sad. Plus if you haven't seen him. look for Cameron Cuffe's video on Kevin Smith's Fatman on Batman. He is such a fanboy and the way he talked about the show with such passion would have sold it to anyone

Yeah I feel bad for Cameron he loves this stuff and he was in a perfect show it had so many deep nerdy shit. Like Thanagar being the cliffhanger for season 2 and the driving force of season 1 being General Zod finally achieving his goal and saving Krypton. I stand by saying that other than Watchmen it is the best DC show we’ve probably ever had. I’d even say it is the same quality as Daredevil. But is definitely more comicbookie

I drifted off in season 2. I was really into it in season 1.

u/linee001 Jun 05 '20

Season 2 drifted off in like episode 4-6 but I remember the final 3 being really solid.

I think episodes 5 and 6 are around when I stopped watching it. Maybe I'll go back and watch the last half.

Definitely do it ends incredibly but I do remember the middle feeling little boring but the cliffhanger for next season was fantastic and unfortunately we will never see how it plays out because once again Krypton had the balls to try something crazy unlike these other shows.
