Just starting to watch the last few of SuperGirl's final season's episodes, I'm seeing 'the DCEU's version of the MCU's Infinity Stone Gauntlet.' Plus, I'm seeing how such Universe-saving adventures (this time, saving the Universe from the tyrannical tyranny of Lex Luthor and the 5th Dimension's Imp Princess) seem very small if they are not confronted with a crossover of heroes from at-least one other adventure-series ... like as if the season's "big bad" can easily be defeated by a little Love-Care-Share from the citizenry (making the Superhero-team (I still can't call them "The Super-Friends" 😝) seem like an empty light-show).

Still, the season does stand as an instant-canon bookmark in the Krypton/Earth History---even though it might already be drowned out by the oncoming chapter (led by SUPERMAN & LOIS and/or STARGIRL or maybe ... is BLACK LIGHTNING still airing? ARROW's daughter (the next ARROW)?)

It seems right for me to 'obsess' (a little) over The Allstone & its 7 Totems; but first, The Arrowverse Wiki explains Supergirl's sixth/final season in a report linked through 'that word' below---a word I want to understand better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “|Wrap|” is built on ancient words that mean "to Bind up, |Swaddle" (to Turn, to Wind, to Bend).

    The AllStone is the merger of 7 Totems (the wiki says not to confuse those 'Totems' with LEGENDS OF TOMORROW's Totems of Zambesi, but ... does Ms. Benoist have any roles set up for her after Supergirl? or might she be the next Tomorrow-Legend?), each one imbued with a classic Humanity a hero uses to pass that Totem's Gauntlet (a test started when the hero calls for it, "cgyrzyx!") in order to prove they can handle the power.
  • The Courage Totem - disguised as 'the slingshot David used to kill Goliath,' it can fill the bearer with Courage or instill Fear
    • The Courage Gauntlet - "Face your past ... Face yourself ... Face the moment you lacked true courage!" - it puts you in a simulation of the moment when your choice was based on fear (usually a reasonable fear) rather than the stupid choice that your bravado would've made.
  • The Humanity Totem (you might call it 'The Humaneness (Humility?) Totem') - disguised as "a Bodhi trinket' (or 'a Buddhist artifact'), an MMA-fighter uses it to keep their fight focused; but its power seems to be 'to make people sympathetic' (it makes Nyxly sad for a species of endangered snow leopard, it also saps humaneness away from people surrounding the bearer)
    • The Humanity Gauntlet - "The Totem can only belong to one of ready heart. Is that you?" - The Totem itself IS the test ... something like 'carrying it makes you FEEL so much that you can't carry it if you are attempting to do something that might hurt anyone'
  • The Hope Totem - disguised as a sculpture of a flower, carved out of a rockface in The Netherlands.
    • The Hope Gauntlet - "To obtain the Totem, inspire a hope that burns longer and brighter than the sun." - (This one's giving me 'The Feels,' my patron-saint also being The Patron Saint of the Hopeless.) - I guess 'the hero is able to diffuse enemies' harsh distrusts of each-other & guide them to peace.'
  • The Dream Totem - gives its bearer power over Dream Energy
    • The Dream Gauntlet was basically a maze that had to be navigated to find The Dream Totem
  • The Love Totem - disguised as a rose (first on a small pink ornament, then in a tattoo on ... SPOILERS!...)
    • The Love Gauntlet - "Fill your heart with love. Only then will love be given to you." - It's passed when the hero sacrifices themselves to protect another.
  • The Truth Totem - disguised as a camera
    • The Truth Gauntlet - "To see things as they truly are, you must reveal the truth within yourself." - The hero must acknowledge their true motives, emotions & desires (even though they might not all be "heroic" in nature).
  • The Destiny Totem - disguised as a ball of yarn in the statue of The Three Fates.
    • The Destiny Gauntlet - "In order to take the Totem, you must face your destiny without it." - I'm not sure 'what this Totem does,' other than "giving you a glimpse of doom." ... 'you must face your destiny without it' ... maybe it gives the bearer the power to change the destiny you see---to manipulate outcomes without much regard to cause-&-effect ...
But this is all looking at this wiki-stub as of November 16, 2021 (noon, CST). I know all the episodes have aired (and I still haven't seen the last one), but maybe no one's updated the stub to explain 'a lot of the things that might not make sense above.'

... I went and saw the last episode, and ...


... it finishes up the action-conflict before the episode is halfway over, spends most of the rest of the episode 'making sure that most of the romance-arcs end happily' (Alex & Karen finally getting married, Nia Nal & Querl staying together (rather than transporting to distant temporal coordinates), even Daxam leaving Kara without any ill will!), and closes up with Cat helping Kara (whose name she still pronounces "KER-RAH") realize that she doesn't have to live two separate lives ... which was the one-and-only conflict that drove the whole series.

(The ending is kind of disappointing, as it's simply "Cat introducing SuperGirl in an interview revealing that she is in-fact Kara Danvers, prominent staff-member of CatCo & new editor-in-chief"---and we don't get to see any of the interview! just Cat (Calista Flockhart) introducing SuperGirl, and then cut-to-credits!)
