I wish I had it in better quality, but I've been wanting to talk about the anatomy of this #DCStargirl fight scene all day. Because wow just what a show, the acting, the directing, the score, the choreography, this is peak superhero TV.
First of all, I love that Stargirl embraces its essential "comic bookyness". They're not trying to make the fights John Wick. There's zero effort to make characters move realistically or hide that the stunts are on wires. The movements are like live action comic panels.
Characters soar through the air, strike heroic poses mid-battle, and toss off one-liners. It's a ham and cheese sandwich and it's GLORIOUS. And that makes it all the more shocking when the tone suddenly changes and what's going on becomes frightening.
