Finally, I could watch the new Stargirl episode today.
The final one of the season.
The final one of the entire show.
It was a solid finale with ….finally… some action and a good ending for the show and wholesome endings for most characters.
It clearly looked like the producers knew before the final episode that the show wouldn’t be renewed as there is no real cliffhanger in this one, but a real ending.
So it works much better as a final episode than the last Batwoman episode where the folks thought the show would go on.
Some images from the episode:

The final showdown at the junkyard was nice, even though I expected a little more action. Especially Wildcat had very few action scenes here.
But at least the masked women had quite a lot of screen time in this one 🙂
In my opinion, the show has some flaws: too little action, too little screen time for the masked women, practically no secret identities, too many heroes, and villains vs heroes fighting each other without the public knowing about anything.
But, it had 4(!) masked women in the show lately, so it was always very exciting for me …when… they had some scenes.
So, like Batwoman…. Stargirl has come to end now as well.
Not a good feeling.
I hope there will be a new show with a masked woman as the lead character soon to fill that …. void.
After all, there are so few TV shows which can offer that.

Oh, and the last episode actually offered a female unmasking in the last minutes:
Not my favorite mask, but it’s a good disguise for sure. Nice to have some unmasking content in the very last episode.
Today I wanna present some scenes from a documentary!
Well, that doesn’t sound too interesting and sexy…
Indeed, but this documentary has a LOT to offer when it comes to masked women!
Including some unmasking action and interesting dialogues about why some of these fighters a wearing masks and so on.
The documentary was aired on German TV this week. It has Spanish language and German subs.
To present it here I translated the important parts and embedded English subs in the video which took some time.
I don’t speak Spanish so I translated the German subs.
Hope you will enjoy it!

There she is at home…
…and now ready for….
…a fight!
She was unmasked and covers her face with her hair!

About the documentary in general:
Well, there are very interesting parts and rather uninteresting ones.
The documentary follows 4 different women who all are Luchadoras and addresses the problematic social struggles in Mexico, where crime rates are very high, women are often murdered and a special macho culture is still pretty dominant (according to the documentary).
About the scenes in the video:
The part where she is at home and talking about why she is wearing a mask is already very intriguing to me.
Actually, she is always wearing one throughout the entire documentary (90 minutes)! That gives her a really mysterious aura, I like that!
I don’t know if all the fight was staged from the beginning to the end. Normally wrestling and Luchadora fights are mostly completely scripted… to my knowledge.
I want to believe that the ending here wasn’t scripted… but I just don’t know.
However, I love quite a LOT about it. Both get unmasked, sadly we only see one unmasking and only from behind.
But I love how she is covering her face all the time to prevent anyone from seeing her face, I admire that kind of effort 🙂
I don’t know if perhaps even the dialogues from one/some pretty loud spectators are scripted as well…but they are just great, it’s like someone with a fetish for masked women had written them 😉
Actually, I even got excited as I was writing the subtitles 😆
I really would like to see such a fight live in person one day.
And imagine a fight like that that isn’t scripted… oh man! 2 masked, hot ladies fighting against each other. The one who unmasks the other one first wins!
And then you could add some other mask types to the mix as well. Some rubber cowls for example… or full-face latex masks 😉
It seems that these female Luchadora masks go off rather easily in comparison to the male full-face masks that have even a lacing.
But they cover up the face quite well, so it’s certainly a mask type that I really like.
After a break, Stargirl did return this week with episode 12.
This means that next week’s episode 13 will be the last one of the season and the show.
Episode 12 is really a good one as it has quite some nice twists and reveals.
But…..
….you may know what comes next…..
….. NO masked women ….again!
It’s hilarious (and sad) that in a show with the title Stargirl… the titular heroine hasn’t appeared for the last 4-5 episodes…and before she was also only in for some minutes this season!
Luckily, the whole season was building up toward a big action finale, and that is what we gonna get next week.
Checked the trailer and at least the masked ladies will be finally showing up again!
Easily possible that they will have more screentime in episode 13 than in all the 12 previous episodes combined… which isn’t that hard 😉
Thanks to a helpful comment I got this scene recommended 🙂
Really weird, I actually saw most of the seasons of this TV show including the one with this scene, but somehow I totally forgot about it, I guess I didn’t make notes back then like I do nowadays.
So, what do we have here? We have Oliver Queen getting attacked by a masked female ninja!
And no, I’m not talking about the Arrow TV show…
Preview:
Just a normal day for him… relaxing… getting attacked….
…by a sneaky female ninja
Who is under that mask?

And here is the video:
–
Yeah, sadly a rather short scene with an even shorter fight, and we don’t get a good look at the masked ninja….
…. BUT we get a masked female ninja that actually gets unmasked by someone else! And she isn’t unconscious or tied up! 🙂
That is rather rare and my favorite version of an unmasking. Ok, she could have struggled longer and put up more of a fight, but after all, she actually knows him and didn’t want to really hurt him.
The reveal is done well as we fully see how he unmasks her, the camera doesn’t cut away.
There is a tiny continuation error as he has her pinpointed down. First, the (weirdly red) tip of her nose is showing, but a second later the fabric is covering it up… quite a magic mask she has 😉
I’m quite jealous of him in this scene. I wouldn’t mind swapping places with him…
One day I will have to re-watch the Smallville show from beginning to end, even though I’m already buried under a pile of movies and TV shows that I need to watch or re-watch.
A good disguise and quite a dramatic turn of events.
I think she overreacted big time, I mean her partner was beaten with a bat, ok, but that’s no reason to shoot someone.
And if she shoots it doesn’t need to be a deadly shot.
Ok, it was pretty dark… but that boy with his bright shirt was still visible well enough…
All in all a solid scene.
Later in the movie, we have terrorists in gas masks. There is also one female terrorist, but she is infiltrating the event as a waitress and the only terrorist that doesn’t wear a gas mask at any time.
After last week’s episode was my least favorite one of the season, episode 9 was MUCH more interesting!
Finally, we have a pretty long scene with Wildcat and Dr. Mid-Nite.
And also with good action in it!

Not exactly the hottest match as Wildcat was fighting against “Grandma Freeze” as I call her, but with some nice perilous moments included.
Ironically Stargirl is again missing from her own show as “only” Courtney is in that house as the action unfolds.
I am very curious to see how the show is going on forward after this episode, there are 4 episodes left and it’s time that we can see the plan of the bad guy.
And what will happen to Snakegirl aka Cindy?
Also, Rick is out of control right now, and that has to be fixed.
It was nice that Dr. Mid-Nite finally had her first real fight after she discovered the combat mode of her goggles.
The end of this season will also be the end of the show as it was revealed that there won’t be a season 4.
During season 1 this news would have been very sad, but by now it doesn’t have much of an impact on me.
I hope that shows with a masked female lead will be done in the future on another network (and studio).
The Arrowverse is on a decline for a while now and will end with the last season of the Flash.
So I hope for more masked ladies on TV and in the movies in the future 😉
I am pretty low on material to post…. but I haven’t posted about these scenes from a rather old animated movie!
In this one, a mysterious villain in full disguise keeps finishing off bad guys…. and actually, it’s more like a villainESS 😉
Soon Batman and the Joker get involved….
Preview:
There she is…
Batman wants to stop her!
Time to face the Joker!

Here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!
Yeah, I know… not the greatest reveal, especially since the Joker already knows who she is.
But when you watch the whole movie without already knowing who is under the mask… it’s a nice reveal since she perfectly hides who she is.
And her costume and the voice changer also cloak the fact that she is a woman. Plus the costume is rather unusual….
I have seen the cover of this movie several times but I never knew that it was about a female villain.
I do like her backstory, that she takes revenge and finishes off these bad guys. Basically, she isn’t really a villainess, more like a murderous vigilante.
Really a shame that the police showed up as Batman (seemingly) got the upper hand and might have unmasked her…. or at least tried that.
It has a masked killer in it… and as the scene is here on the blog… you know what that means 😉

And here is the vide:

If you have seen the movie you already
Spoiler title
knew who would be under the mask at this point as she was revealed to be a killer some scenes before (without costume)
That basically kills even the small thrill such a self unmasking brings. If you haven’t seen the movie you have at least a hasty reveal by watching the video.
The Scream movies have by now 2 masked female killers.
That could be very interesting in terms of masked women and secret identities but there are 2 major problems for me.
– The costume of Ghostface is completely unisex as you can’t see if there is a man or a woman in it.
– And the killer self unmasks in basically every reveal which is… lame!
It would be really great if the costume would have some sex appeal at least and someone would actually try to unmask the killer in a struggle.
Would be really great to have a masked female killer struggling to keep her secret identity a….secret.
Then you could have a dramatic unmasking/reveal in the end when the killer gets unmasked by someone else!
But sadly…. this happens so rarely. 🙁
Well, maybe next time, seems like the Scream franchise will go on for a while…
Finally, we have a decent fight scene with Wildcat and Cindy in this one!
Well, to be more precise….more like Wildcat VS Cindy in this one 🙂
Quite odd how seemingly no one calls the cops in this town, no matter what happens in the neighborhood 😆
Again all the vigilante VS villain action happens without any civilians noticing it.
But ok, that’s just an odd habit of this show.
What is important is that Wildcat had a nice screen time and a good fight scene!

The mysterious big villain still is in the shadows and you can only guess what he/she is up to.
It’s time for some action with him/her! I hope the villain will show up really soon so the heroes can battle him/her.
But back to the fight scene in this one. I really enjoyed the fight between Wildcat and Cindy.
A was rooting for Cindy a little bit as I was hoping she would unmask Wildcat… or at least try to unmask her.
Yes, she knows who Wildcat is… but it would show her dominance, and more importantly, it would leave Yolanda rather helpless since the Wildcat mask gives her her power.
Hopefully, some villain will go for it in the future 😉
7 more episodes to go this season, hopefully, the season will now move on with more action.
We have a masked woman and two guys who break into a school.
What are they up to? Will they get caught and unmasked?
Preview:
Here she is…
…
….BUSTED!

And here is the video:
–
I uploaded this video on the Youtube channel, but it is unlisted there, so you won’t find it there by searching or browsing my Youtube channel.
Why? Well, the whole (short) movie was uploaded to Youtube by the guy who made it and this is basically just a part of it with one edit.
So, I think my video shouldn’t be on (public) Youtube and that’s why it is unlisted.
I will put a link to the whole movie in this post as well, so it should be ok to post a short part of it.
–
She looks really good in that mask, a shame that she unmasks herself, even if it is done in a good way without cuts.
In my version, the guys would have given up easily and she would have battled the two cops who then would have unmasked her after some serious struggle.
But ok, this movie is made for kids…. so that wasn’t an option 😉
In the end, it’s a nice reveal of a stunning young woman, so I think it’s a solid scene all things considered.
