* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Cheetah was often accused of being a KarmaHoudini and one-dimensional. Starting with "Saving The Day", she gets consistently punished for what she does, and gains hidden depths. She's also OutOfFocus for those not fond of her behavior, and Lashina and the Female Furies more or less have take over her role as the more frequent antagonists.
** Season 1 shorts were accused of being too short. Season 2 increases the length so that they're at least two and a half minutes long. Season 3 increases the minimum length to three and a half minutes long, and multi-part stories are integrated.
** After season 1 focused only on Wonder Woman, with Harley, Ivy, Katana, and Bumblebee in minor roles, we have the Super Hero High movie focusing on Batgirl and Supergirl, and they upgrade to main characters in season 2.
** Season 2 also brings more focus to other DC characters besides the main seven.
** Later episodes manage to integrate more action without losing sight of the target audience.
** Making Catwoman similar to her [[ClassyCatBurglar comic]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold counterpart]] was met with approval from comic fans of DC who weren't too thrilled about some of the villains becoming heroes with a total personality change.

* SeasonalRot: Season 5 took a sharp drop in quality, probably because the writing was on the wall that the series was going to be [[WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls2019 replaced with a new generation]]. The original animation studio and the original showrunner had their contracts run out and were replaced, and while Patrick Rieger's writing usually measured up to Shea Fontana's (and he was kept on for a few episodes of the 2019 show), Renegade Animation's output was wooden and cheap in comparison to what came before it, with a lot of static shots and obvious shortcuts. The [[AndTheAdventureContinues ending]] looked good on paper, but fell flat compared to previous seasons, and the comics had to add an epilogue [[PoorlyDisguisedPilot to introduce the new series]] and give fans of the old series one last visit with the characters.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Adorkable}}: '''''A lot''''' of the main characters fall into this:
** Wonder Woman herself showed some shades of this early on, particularly in trying to fit in with the other students and not doing a good job. Even after she became a more confident hero, she can still fall into this when trying a bit too hard to act cool or not completely getting something. She's just precious.
** Supergirl embraces this quite a bit. She may be clumsy and awkward, but she's cute and endearing when doing so.
** Ivy's shyness, reserved behavior, and awkward attempts to be cool are rather endearing.
** Batgirl embraces this. While she shows shades of this in the main series, she ''really'' embraces this trope in the Lego series, where she's much more into academics and structure than normal, and yet is still endearing.
** Ms. Martian is this in an interesting way. She's reserved and scared quite often, but you'll just want to give her a hug because of how sweet she is.
** Starfire, like most other versions of the character, embraces this trope. She's naive and somewhat simple minded, yet still pretty cute and endearing.
** Frost shows this quite a bit when she lets out her nerd side, and is prone to plenty of cute moments.
** Surprisingly enough, Big Barda can act this way, mostly when dealing with something unexpected that she knows little about, and reacts quite jovially.
** Jessica Cruz shows a bit of this. She's deeply insecure of her abilities as a Green Lantern, but it's part of her appeal because of how cute and persistent she is.
** Mera's Main/FishOutOfWater tendencies make her this. She's socially awkward and makes cheesy puns, but you can't help but love her for her persistence and sweetness.
** Raven is more downplayed example, but when Harley gets her to loosen up, she isn't afraid to show a more vulnerable, innocent side, making her come across as cute in her own way.
** Lena Luthor shows this in the Lego projects. Due to her ineffectual sympathetic villain qualities, she's actually quite endearing when trying to be taken seriously.

It's not ironic, it's on purpose because most people are aware that she made both this show and SBFF as this is a retool of SBFF. People are upset because they liked SBFF the way it is rather than this retool. Not even sure if this Broken Base entry should be here since it hasn't been out for six months so...?


* BrokenBase: Some of the fanbase is disappointed that this got made over ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' considering both were comedic LighterAndSofter versions of DC superheroines, seeing this series as a generic girl toyline show made to compete with the likes of ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' or ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls''. Others are a bit more receptive and find the concept of a superhero school with DC characters interesting at least. Ironically Lauren Faust work on both ''Super Best Friends Forever'' and this show.

* InNameOnly: The [[WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls Cartoon Network series]] isn't much like the original ''DC Super Hero Girls'', being more like ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' in both art style and story.


* CounterpartComparison:
** Wonder Woman can be compared to [[Toys/MonsterHigh Frankie Stein]], in terms of being the [[NaiveNewcomer new girl]].
** Though Supergirl was more like Frankie Stein than Wonder Woman was. Both try to fit in on their first day but end up making a mess until everything's revolved in the end.
** Harley Quinn is like [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]].
** Katana bears a close resemblance to Disney/{{Mulan}}.
** Poison Ivy is shy, girly, and prefers plants to people, very similarly to [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]] and her animals.
** Star Sapphire could be compared to [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rarity]].

That seems better fit for the 2019 cartoon's page.


** Rumours that the franchise would be rebooted later (which it [[WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls was]]) also came with word that this version wouldn't have all the alignment swaps (Harley would get to stay due to her extreme popularity, but would get an onscreen redemption arc instead of being a hero from the start).
