Yes, he did. He was an interesting character, but sadly, he wasn't really integrated even in Season 1. He could have been a better rival or ally, but he barely appeared.

Does "And you Thought It Would Fail" need to be changed now that the show hasn't been renewed for a second season?

I'd say so.

Do we totally remove the entry or just add a bullet mentioning that in spite of everything mentioned it wasn't picked up?

There was a bullet point about this that got deleted. Any reason why?

Which bullet point?

It just mentioned that in spite of all the above points the show hadn't really connected, cost a lot of money to make and was losing viewers.

I'm a bit confused about this Values Dissonance example; how is the name "Supergirl" non-PC? I'm considering removing it but want to make sure I'm not making a mistake.

Aye, that is one odd example IMO.

For the sake of argument, the case may be made that the use of "girl" is somehow diminutive compared to "woman". Kara is by most standards, an adult, a grown woman, and so may rightly object to being called a girl, as if to suggest her age isn't sufficient for her to be treated as an equal.

Name-brand recognition and separate, existing characters called Superwoman aside.

I have no opinion on the subject, so whatever works. :-)

Okay, so the wording of this is getting edit warred over:

Specifically, the last line. Hash it out here, folks. Stop edit warring.

Personally, I see it was a Justifying Edit that doesn't add anything to whether it's anvilicious or not. Thus it wouldn't really have a place here.

If you feel the need to say it's Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped (which, no they really don't, but whatever floats your boat) then put it under Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped. As Larkmarn said, it's a Justifying Edit to shoehorn it into Anvilicious.

Justifying Edits is the entire point of Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped in the first place, so go nuts.

Also that. Though I must admit, I find Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped to be one of the most pointless tropes we have since by definition every Anvilicious aesop has someone that thinks that (specifically the writer). But that's neither here nor there.
