I joked about this in the tags of another post, but I don't think it's mentioned enough that the first two Fallout titles deliberately used stylized stop motion puppets to depict their characters!!
You may think "Oh maybe that was just easier at the time than making them realistic" but NO!! Tons of games used real life FMV footage in the exact same way Fallout used its stylized puppets!
It's also part of why the OG fallout models still look way better than any of the modern ones!
The original Fallout creators deliberately wanted all their mutants and ghouls to look like fucked up claymation dudes and the more the series strays from that the worse off it will be!

Why does every adaptation of Supergirl insist on turning her into a female Superman?
Superman and Supergirl have very different, almost opposite dynamics(which also reflect differing immigrant experiences, but I digress)
Superman was raised on earth by humans. He has no memory of Krypton, and in most continuities didnt even know it existed until he was much older. Theres a very real since that his 'homelands' culture is more foreign to him than his adopted one. While he repects his Kryptonian heritage, at the end of the day, Earth is his home, and humans are his people. You see this quite clearly in the fact that he generally prefers to call himself by his human name(clark) rather than his kryptonian one.
Kara on the other hand was raised on Krypton. She didnt arrive on earth till she was much older(teens or even twenties). She IS Kryptonian through and through. Earth is just where she happens to live because she cant go back. She doesnt understand human culture or even at times like humans very much. She is forever an outsider with only her cousin to provide some link to her past and culture.
But for some reason every film/television adaptation of Supergirl(except smallville) writes her with the first dynamic. And its like, why? We already have Superman for that.

But it is.
Too many people confuse "the economy" with "the economic health of the citizens."
When they say "the economy," they mean the economic health of the political and elite classes. It's why they point at the stock exchanges instead of the costs of living or local business investment as their focus.
The economy is thriving for the people that matter to them and we're all not in that group.
