I literally don’t get movies anymore. I don’t understand reviews or box office numbers or audience scores. Whatever. Budgets for these movies are the GDP of small nations. And I’ve been so outside of the comic book scene for so long I have no idea what hallowed source material this movie is based on, not that it really matters.
What I do know is that whatever women are connected to this project are gonna be castigated by the sweatiest guys, whatever clunky writing there is is going to definitely be written by ChatGPT, and little girls wanting to look up to a woman hero are going to be gifted another subpar product. Halloween will still be an Elsa dress-up day like it has been for the last 10+ years.
Get that Jellyfin/Jellyseer set up & the honeys won’t know the difference they’ll just think movies are still good while you seamlessly cherrypick from 20 years of garbage
fuck capeshit it all tends towards ubermensch fascism
I’ll give you Batman and Superman on that, there are even comics about the concept, but you’re not applying that to X-Men.
…you can apply it to Magneto, tho.
The best about that concept in particular?
Batman: White Knighthmm I am trying to remember and I don’t think any of the X-Men wore capes, but Magneto sometimes did
There was this ‘cloak’ era where everyone wore cloaks in the late 10’s for whatever mysterious and dramatic reason, but you are right on that lol.
Storm does, too. But she’s a monarch and therefore a reactionary element in the x men.
Theres never gonna be another women led capeshit movie is there
They just released it at the wrong time. We should let them know that if they released it again we’d be hella down for real this time.
last I heard Supergirl lost all her money on bitcoin due to her weakness for CryptoNight
You made me exhale really fast through my nose

I saw the trailer for this recently and it was the first big Hollywood movie trailer I’ve seen where I felt like the movie had to be written to some degree by AI. Maybe they just used it to decide the trailer cut but the plotline seems like they asked LLM to combine the plots and settings of the top action franchises.
What if Supergirl went John Wick mode because Mad Max goons hurt her dog, but it was set in Dune?
Apparently the comics the movie was based on was only hyped cuz it had pretty colors but for some reason hollywood is allergic to having colors in movies
I didn’t know there was a Supergirl movie coming out
i knew they were making one but i didn’t know it was releasing now in the middle of the inexplicably not boycotted world cup and against toy story checks notes five?!?
It definitely seems like it hit too early, Superman 2025 came out almost exactly a year ago which is not enough time for the audience to be ready for a sequel or spin off.
also superman is like 100x as known among people who only know superman batman and spider-man
I’m gonna sup
It’s uh
It’s supin’ time
It’s girlin’ time
It’s
I got nothing
Supergirl GO! to the polls
posting your Kal-Els
No supe for you then.
capeshit needs to die and take a break for a while. Come back with just a few once in a while, like it used to be.
Maybe it failed because they didn’t tie it to 3 other movies and 2 shows several seasons long to give you all of the relevant context.
ill watch it for free in a few minths while eating oven pizza on my couch and im sure it will be fine.
not great. not good. but completely fine.
there’s a cam up already
im a >1080p HD only guy, no cams for me anymore.
at least, that is how ive organized my quality profile on my servarr stack.
i have STANDARDS for being entertained on my lumpy couch.
i’ll tolerate a cam for a movie i don’t care about and hear is kinda bad, but if they do the moving watermark i’m out
Same thought after. That was…a movie
I was curious to watch this but the trailer looked like “Mad Max but what if Supergirl?”
And I don’t like Mad Max
Oh see i just posted that superman but girl sounds lame because superman is boring, but mad max but supergirl sounds p. cool tbh
Yea, apparently the comic it’s based on is quite popular, but just because a comic is popular doesn’t mean it’s fit for a general movie audience.
I wasn’t a huge fan of Superman when it came out and felt like the inclusion of the dog was so “let’s get millennials into this” coded that I couldn’t really get myself to care about it. When I realized the dog was going to feature in supergirl and that they got Jason Momoa to play Jason Momoa, I decided it was just not for me. I don’t dislike James Gunn, but the trailer felt so much like all his other movies that I didn’t realize he didn’t personally direct it.
I’ll maybe watch it once it hits streaming, but I don’t think I’ll be missing much.
Superman was pretty popular actually I think. Personally, I liked that movie myself. It was also nice to see something more optimistic and the character actually depicted like himself.
Superman rocked, great movie and such a welcome departure from the depressing superhero slop we usually get (also, full disclosure: huge Supes fan too lol).
Oh, I wasn’t suggesting it was unpopular, just that I was not personally a fan. I really liked the optimistic tone, but the plot and interpersonal relationships were not there in my opinion. I really disliked what they did with Lois, though people say it was closer to her in the comics. I also didn’t like that the other superheros felt more vain and cliquey and didn’t actually care about right and wrong. It’s been a while, so I’m just going off how I remember feeling about them. I know it was played for laughs, and that was in part the tone, but Superman should inspire every day people to be their best selves. It was terrible watching him be alone and isolated for his beliefs even among others who should care. I get that he’s supposed to be corny, even in universe, but it made me frustrated for him and I do not feel as though finally helping him magically redeemed the other characters. It really undermined the hopeful tone for me personally to watch Superman be the only reason anyone in the movie was nice or good. I would have enjoyed feeling like it wasn’t him against an inherently evil world, more just “good” against evil.
It would have been a much better movie had they actually adapted the comic, but as it is they only pulled a few things from the comic but failed to translate what made the comic magical to screen. Huge missed opportunity as if they had just made a movie version of the comic the movie would have rocked, it was merely an okay flick, not bad, just not as good as it should have been.
sorry if i’m sleeping on some really cool comic shit knowing no Supergirl lore but i think superman is kinda boring and i think superman but girl?? is consequently pretty boring. Id watch this if people said it was good but uh comparing it with morbius doesn’t indicate that
Not just “Superman but girl” but “Superman but teenage girl as written by a bunch of out of touch 40 something men in the comic industry.”
When a character’s most famous moment in all of comics is that time they died and other characters were really sad about it, it’s probably a sign they aren’t the most well written or interesting.
Some cool comic shit, but I’m not a big comic person just got the gist of it from my partner who does.
Superman and Supergirl difer in a pretty important way, and that way is in the amount of support and all the warm fuzzies of small town Kansas parents and all-american (in the Good Years tm).
Superman sees the good in people. Supergirl is TRYING to see the good in people but she’s watched her planet and many others be obliterated by the universe’s cruel whims and so she doesn’t have good ole’ midwest farmer parents to come.back to to discuss what it means to be good. Just the fading image of her parents and planet and people to live up to
So the thing about Superman that made him more interesting to me is that its a thought experiment. Basically a utopia thought experiment but with power. What does a man with this much power look like? What does the best and kindest person do with it?
The compelling part tends to come with the story telling. I found the recent superman movie to be very interesting in that front cause it actually dealt with geo politics.
I think the recent Superman movie also showed that he works best in an ensemble cast. Superman’s real narrative weakness isn’t kryptonite, it’s that he can’t be in two places at once. Make him a friendly teammate working with others that he trusts and respects, and you can actually put together an interesting story.
She once dated a centaur turned horse turned human who was thousands of years old, and her high school science teacher.
Its morbin time
I’m not exactly informed about the latest movies, but this is literally my first time ever hearing that there even was a Supergirl movie.
Hopefully people convince the studio to do another theatrical release in a year or so. We were all busy the days it was in theater and we’ll def go if you show it again
