Supergirl looks pretty good to me...

[JohnDB]

Im sure this site is too far gone to appreciate a movie with a female lead but this looks very Guardians of the Galaxy vibe, which makes sense from James Gunn. I feel like this can be as good as last years superman which really grew on me. My first watch I was overwhelmed at the frenetic pace and the starting in the middle of the action but I ended up having it on repeat all summer in the house.

Didn't like the new superman when I saw it.
Still don't now.

NEVER have been a fan of James Gunn's work... I didn't like Guardians of the galaxy....any of it. Too quippey and trite. Lacks real empathy and relatable characters. Story arc had huge plot holes and motivations. Basically it never lost its stupidity in any of its sequels or cameos in the crap called Marvel.

So....
I thank you for the warning and won't waste any time on this....much less any hard earned cash. Looks forgettable just like the rest of Gunn's work....if you can really call trash "work".

Actors are nothing more than professional prostitutes....puppets with someone else pulling the strings. But a good actor can make you almost believe the characters they play. Kinda like believability in that prostitute you hired for a couple hundred dollars. That somehow she really likes you and doesn't just do it for the money you pay her. Until the day you run out of cash and the illusion is gone.

I haven't believed in much coming out of Hollywood in a long time. Hail Mary was a good exception. Believable characters.... script....solutions....conflicts and motivations.
Superhero movies are like Avatar....a train load of hype and a ton of overdone visuals you get tired of after the first ten minutes.

Heck....the way things are currently going the entire movie was completely laid out in that trailer in the OP and you can imagine the rest as being a carbon copy of any of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

To each their own. You like what you like. On this you are in the minority:

• Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) - $773.3 million
• Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) - $869.1 million
• Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) - $845.6 million
• Superman (2025) - $619.3 million

I'd guess Supergirl is in the $400-500M? Maybe?

Dunno....

Girl Boss movies have been done ad nauseum. The original super girl was a girl boss movie before girl bosses were cool.
Wonder Woman raked it in....but WW1984 kinda bombed. And Gal Gadot is kinda hot. Super girl will be wearing a lot more clothes than Gal Gadot was....

Hard to see this one getting the kind of traction as WW has gotten.

I'm sure you're equally impressed with Pravda's circulation numbers, and Fidel Castro's election results.

The star's mouth may ruin the movie.

They just can't keep their mouths shut, can they?

LOL Break even is $500M

 

[Dogmaphobe]

last years superman which really grew on me.

I'm sure he did.


They do call him the man of steel, after all.

 

[JohnDB]

so you dont know what that means either?...

If the "hero" of the movie is a girl, female, or Woman after the men in the movie have failed for being incompetent, stupid, oafish, or just not enough...
It's a girl boss movie.

Wonder Woman is an obvious girl boss movie.
Same with Captain Marvel....

Most of the Marvel world was all about the girl boss....from Gamorrah in Guardians to Scarlett Johansen in Avengers. Even Pepper in Ironman...because Tony likes to play too much.

In X-men you have both Storm and Phoenix....even Rogue has more smarts than Wolverine.

Then in DC world the women are somehow smart and the guys are dumb. Repeated over and over.
It gets old.

oh i get it...you have a problem with strong women...these "boss" woman have been in the comics for decades being "boss" women....its a fu-cking comic movie,they are not going to change it for "men" like you...

Not what I said or even hinted at.

It's the CONSTANT girl boss theme in EVERY FREAKING MOVIE....past the point of believability or survivability.

Its literally every movie.
I don't give a crap if Hollywood goes bankrupt.

Lots of alternatives that are highly successful for a pittance of the spending.

A $1mill outlay gets 250 mil return? And it's not another girl boss?

Supergirl needs to clear over 500 mil to break even. Its likely a 350 mill at best movie.

They keep this crap up....won't be long.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The big differences between Guardians of the Galaxy and Superman, is well, one has male stars and Supergirl does not. The stars of GOTG and Superman did not go around insulting the very people who are buying the tickets. Milly Alcock is delighting in showing all those Christian Dads jus who the boss is.

Wonder Woman was a great movie. They f'd up 1984. I didnt hate it as much as most but most didnt like it.

Supergirl was in House of Dragon and it is a James Gunn film so it will pull from that. I'd be surprised if it doesnt do well but Ive been surprised before.

 

[citygator]

LOL Break even is $500M

thanks. My guess is not very educated. I have no idea what it will pull but I suspect less than Superman. Breakeven doesnt include streaming. I am just confident it will likely be a good movie.

Industry guess:

Avengers get criticized all the time for its lack of female diversity. They had like 1 Black Widow movie, 2 Captain Marvel movies, and 37 male driven movies. Anyone thinking that is too much girl boss is a thin skinned incel.

No one has commented on the movie. No one cares about the movie. It's her insulting her audience as the woke likes to do.

At this point....
Ryan Renolds, Blake Lively, Amber Heard, Steven Segal....
If I see them in a movie, I'm not wanting to watch. I'd rather spend the 90 minutes puking and looking in a toilet bowl.
