New Supergirl Movie Stars A Favorite Of Mine But Flops With "Truth, Justice.......Whatever".....It's Just So Hollywood

[mudwhistle]

Why is anything necessary? Maybe they wanted her to be a relatable, realistic character rather than some paragon of virtue. Superman’s already got that covered.

She’s a young woman. She gets drunk on occasion. Like the vast majority of young women do.

And do you really think the occasional night out at the bar makes someone “a drunk”?

With great power comes great responsibility - Spiderman the Movie.

If extraterrestrial bars are involved, not surprising Lobo is in it

Guess Jason Mamoa got tired of playing a fishman.

It is a deliberate trashing of American values.

In the past, we have had teens who were addicted to drugs, raging alcoholics, thieves, murderers, child pornographers, black marketers, and child slavery. All those things have existed in the past, and most of them are present today.

Shall we just portray Supergirl as a seeker of open borders and traffic in child sex slavery?

After all, young people are doing that too!

That's the problem with the left, no doubt.

They can't seem to resist pushing their agendas as often as possible and it usually blows up in their faces.

They seem to be trying to make Supergirl the kind of flawed hero that Batman was in his early days as a comic book character.

I would much prefer to see Batgirl done up that way. Maybe as a hard-drinking ex-cop kicked off the force for one too many "righteous" shootings, who now fights crime all night, gving criminals beatdowns instead of arresting them, then drinks herself to sleep before waking at noon to research cases and train.

Sort of like a female Dirty Hairy in tights.

Oooops, my bad.
I forgot: we can no longer have characters that are to be looked up to or admired or heroes we look up to, we must drag them down and create them with major flaws so they're "just like us".
And, no, an occasional night out at a bar doesn't make someone a drunk. But a character who has to fly to another planet to get a drink just might have a problem.

Yep.....a serious drinking problem.

Never liked him as aquaman. Too dark and swarthy. He should be blond

Now that the DC cinematic universe has been rebooted, I guess they’ll recast Aquaman

Drinking alcohol is a leftist political thing now?

How does that work? I know plenty of conservatives who drink

Milly Allcock.

I remember this girl from HBO's series "House Of The Dragons". She played the Princess Rhyaeran Targaryen. (too many vowels)

She was one of the reasons I bothered to watch the series, along with the male protagonist played by Matt Smith who played Prince Daemon Targaryen.

When they changed actors to an older Princess Rhyaeran Targaryen, played by Emma D'Arcy (not enough vowels), the series lost some of it's personality.

However, director James Gunn, who directed movies like "Guardians Of The Galaxy" 1, 2, and 3, "Suicide Squad" and the latest remake of the Superman franchise (which I thought was pretty good, BTW), I think he went too far trying to make Supergirl into some sort of drunken teenage rebel.
All of the usual Hollywood stereotypes were predictably present in this film, along with a fuzzy super dog Krypto, which I think was only put in the film to become a tear-jerker. I hate it when they hurt animals in films.
This is what Hollywood (or UK cinema) thinks kids should be. Drunken teenage rebels raising a ruckus and causing all sorts of chaos. Never mind the fact that anyone with Krytonian DNA can't get drunk on a planet with a Yellow Sun.

The first turn-off was immediate in the trailer with the use of Blondie"s hit song "Call Me" as the theme song. Is the director trying to say Supergirl is a slut, or is she a gigolo?

I guess he wants us to think that "girls just want to have fu-un" while kicking the crap out of mean bad-guys.

Featured quote; "He (Superman) see's the good in everyone......and I see the truth."

What makes Superman super, in my mind, isn't just his powers....it's his positive attitude about the human-race. I love films that bring out the positive rather than focusing on the negative. That's what you almost always can expect from a Superman film.

It remains to be seen if this movie will be successful with that element practically missing from the film. Spending $300 million on a film that only makes $50 million doesn't sound like a smart idea. I do hope they make some decent bank on this film, because I'm a sucker for super hero films. Good or bad, I always buy them. The Green Lantern stinker of a film for example.

Even with great actors they sometimes can't overcome a lousy script. Supergirl's cameo introduction in Superman was horrendous. I dreaded what they were planning for her own feature film.

Here's the trailor and a follow up review of 2026 "Supergirl":

Making a girl replica version of Superman isnt compelling. Making a "whatever" girl version of Superman seems fun and promising to me. I do not like superheros that lack flaws, they are not relatable. Superman is the single exception. Having another would be lame. Spiderman was more my jam cuz he stressed out over homework, girls, jobs, family... real stuff but at the superhero level. Superman is unrelatable... however, like I said, hes the only one that can pull that off.

I think the concept has promise but we will see. Gunn might have too much "heart" in this like he does in Guardians and Superman. I worked for the though. We will see.

What do you mean by too much heart?

Loveable. I think supergirl should be edgier but I have made zero billion dollar movies. Gunn has made a bunch.

 

[braalian]

Despite being a life long comic book fan, I actually don’t like superhero movies for the most part

Gunn’s movies are the exception. Guardians of the Galaxy, Superman don’t take themselves too seriously while still having sharp writing. The avengers movies are just mindless spectacle.

I’d like to see Gunn’s humorous take on some of the more obscure superhero teams like Alpha Flight or Justice League International

You should never post again. lol. I couldnt disagree more. Not sure how a comic fan could make it through the avengers arc through Endgame and not be pleased. Crazy. But everyone is different.

Most of the MCU movies just seem bland, overproduced, tiresome. I love the Avengers, read them growing up. But the movies do nothing for me

Guardians of the galaxy, as I said, was an exception.

The Wandavision miniseries was another exception. That one was special for me cause poor Wanda and her superpower fueled hysterical pregnancy was a favorite storyline of mine as a kid

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Hard pass for me.
The entire superhero genre has become garbage. Does anyone still go to a Marvel movie now??
Throughout the 2000s-2010s - so many good ones. Guessing, I would say 90% of them were at least good, most really good.
But almost the second the year ticked 2020 - it all went to trash. Messaging and political narratives became the reason to make a movie. Gee, what a surprise most bombed?
Flipping the percentages. Now 90% crap, with an occasional win.

Leftists love patronizing kids while encouraging them to be a holes.

Plenty of these COVID kids are doing just that.

The first and the last Guardian movies were the best superhero movies in a very long time.
I also loved their Christmas special.

What does that have to do with a twenty-something woman drinking alcohol in a movie?

I’ll admit that, of all the DCU’s super heroes, it’s surprising they’re going gritty with Supergirl.

Maybe that’s the point. A contrast to her cousin and to the saccharine sweet character she was in the silver age

Allcock is a good actress and Gunn did a good job on movies like Superman and Guardians of the Galaxy. No reason to think this movie won’t be entertaining

The continuation of the degradation of civility. You guys are begging for it. These things are not cut and dried. They are messy as we see. And it is always the retort of the movement to a dystopian dictatorship means nothing with the slow pushing towards it.
