So ... Supergirl

That's your opinion, and you're welcome to it. But the network thinks differently, and they're the ones with the vote.

Having power doesn't mean you're right.

Being the only ones with money in the game makes them the ones who get to say if they're right.

And yet I can still say otherwise. How is that possible!?

It's quite simple. It's because while everyone can have an opinion, not all opinions have equal value.

I it true that a PR move designed to get free publicity and look good will hold more value for some people.

I'm not even watching Supergirl, but my feeling is that the attacks happened in France, so it would be in poor taste and disrespectful to show that episode in France. Over here, it would not be either one of those things.

This is not true. It only gives them the power to make the decision. It does not make them right.

Argue semantics if you like but the simple truth is that the holder of the property gets to decide what they do with it and, as this isn't really a situation in which anyone is harmed by their actions, they are right.

It could be said that those with the power here are those watching the show. The producers obviously thought Supergirl would sell better than Superwoman.

My personal view is that Supergirl simply sounds better than Superwoman. The first and second part of the name are of approximately the same weight. That and nostalgia.

Notice how, in Wonder Woman, the to parts not only have the same number of vowels, but also alliterate. Wonder Girl just sounds silly.

The issue being discussed, in those posts, was the skipping of the episode that contained elements of terrorism so soon after the attack in Paris.

As to Superwoman and Wonder Girl, both those characters actually exist in DC canon. The names just don't flow in the way that those of the primary characters do.
