VIDEO : Supergirl Star Melissa Benoist On Comparison To SNL's Black Widow

CBS' Supergirl had the bad luck of debuting its first trailer shortly after Saturday Night Live put together their hilarious Black Widow: Age of Me sketch. People immediately started seeing comparisons between the two.
Entertainment Weekly brought up the SNL Black Widow sketch to Supergirl herself Melissa Benoist and then followed it up by asking the 26-year-old actress if Supergirl sent a message of female empowerment.
Benoist said, "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.
