kinda clickbaity in where the article actually says

> On "Supergirl," Maines will play a reporter who befriends the show's title character, superhero Kara Danvers, who is played by Melissa Benoist.

so unless Maines does that Clark Kent did i don't think it makes her a super hero

Catija

> "It seems the perfect moment in our culture to introduce a trans female superhero."

The show seems to be billing her as a superhero... so ...?

> Maines will play Nia Nal, the newest addition to CatCo’s reporting team who is fierce and driven to protect others. This season, Nia will follow a similar path as Kara/Supergirl that will lead her to eventually embracing her superhero destiny as Dreamer.

@AnkitSharma 10 years ago when Gunn was a douchebag, he posted crass and edgy tweets about molestation and other stuff. Now in light of his Trump-hate tweets, one ardent Trump supporter posted all his old crass tweets as screenshots which sparked an outrage

Q: Is it true that when playing a 1080p 3d blu ray the image quality is actually lower?

Is it true that when playing a 1080p 3d blu ray the image quality is lower because of the way the screen has to display 2 slightly different images at the same time? If that is the case then if I were to watch a 1080 3d blu ray on a 4K tv, does that mean I would be watching it in true 1080 3d sin...
