The release of the first 'Supergirl' trailer brought forth a lot of criticism for resembling the SNL 'Black Widow' spoof, and while the producers have gone to help correct critic's perception, the star of the show, Melissa Benoist has yet to speak on it.

In a pre Comic-Con interview, the actress spoke with EW to address the critique that has come with the trailer:

"I do. Of course, I do. We don't really take ourselves too seriously in that respect. The camp is going to be there. It's a superhero show. But I don't think that takes away from the female empowerment. Obviously you see Kara in her work atmosphere, it resembles the Black Widow parody, but what you don't see is Kara kicking butt. There's so much more in the pilot that I think people are really going to be surprised by. Also, it's a girl. Supergirl, that whole discussion, it's a girl figuring out how to become a woman. [The SNL spoof] came out and all of us thought it was so hilarious. I don't think any of us expected people to compare them or put them side-by-side."

She goes on to address the pressure from being the only female lead superhero show on the air right now:

"I do think there's a lot of pressure. I want to do right. Of course this is a broad statement, but I want to do right by women. I want to portray someone they can relate to and look up to that's not a trite or a shallow depiction. I want her to be complicated and flawed. I guess I just want all women to feel like they could be Kara and Superwoman as well. I don't want it to be campy. I want it to be grounded and human. That goes for anybody. It doesn't matter what sex. It doesn't matter if it's women or men I inspire, I just want to inspire people in general to realize their strengths and their potential, and that you can do the things that you feel like are impossible to accomplish."

Critics can judge the series in its entirety when it premieres on CBS on October 26.
