The first two episodes of Supacell could have done a more thorough job of focusing on Sabrina (Nadine Mills) and other women in the show. Instead, they’ve served primarily as support characters for the male narrative. So Sabrina’s episode is the one I’ve been waiting for, as it brings her superpowered struggles into the spotlight. And it turns out she does what many of us would do, especially as a healthcare worker—she consults a physician to check on her brain.Kotaku’s Hopes For Spyro The Dragon’s (Reported) ComebackA powerful narrative for Sabrina—almostSabrina’s powers—being able to push and move objects, or telekinetic…
