supergirls audience was like 68% men, so its men's fault the movie didn't do better just like the WNBA stadium numbers lol
but yeah its so obvious in hindsight, a movie that NEEDS teenage girls and young women to come does absolutely the wrong things to market to that audience. superman 2025 was about hope and optimism and a naive superman being a midwestern guy basically. not a great movie but had the right "vibe" for what it was going for and women didn't say no when guys wanted to go.
this movie is about a chick who is basically clinically depressed, parties hard to numb herself, and then her dog is gonna die unless she saves him? Like holy shit you tell any woman who isn't mentally ill thats the story and they will swipe left faster than on a fat guy on tinder.
shoulda done a batman movie next obviously but if they had to stick to supergirl, it should also have been a movie about hope and plucky girl coming to terms with her power and finding best superpowered friends (bitches love fake friends) and two hot guys who are into her (100% required for any chick flick), momoa as a hot shirtless surfer and jacob ellordi as frankenstein or some shit, i dunno. that would have brought the ladies.
