There's a reason the Brandon Routh movie picked up after 2 as if 3 and 4 never happened.

They rejected dozens of JJ's drafts. The story board kept sending it back with no notes on it-- with "try again" as the only direction he was given by Lucas Film.
Finally him and Terrio said fuck it, and erased anything to do with Luke or the original cast. Luke had a bigger role in TFA initially and was asked to get in shape for action. The woke Lucas Film committee stonewalled him.

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.

Marvel character owned by Sony ATM. The character itself is fine, Sony just failed on all their Spidey spin off attempts.

Okay-- SPOILERS -- ahead....
I have been thinking and talking with the woman I saw Supergirl with most of the day.
A real SHITTY movie can't really do that. But I am FURIOUS and convinced that they subverted and ruined the entire film in the last few minutes to make a worthless, marketing, cross-promotion.
If you give a crap about my obsessive thoughts on this-- SPOILER WARNING!!!!:
They really FUCKED up a potentially poignant ending for cross-marketing BULLSHIT.
There- I've shot my film critic load. It bothered me all day.

If you give a crap about my obsessive thoughts on this-- SPOILER WARNING!!!!:
Everyone leaving the Theatre could’ve left with the feeling of personal growth, relationship growth, maybe even lesbian relationship growth, friendship, goodness, and that Supergirl is willing to cross lines. Superman never will. Instead, the feeling you get leaving the film is there was no growth just marketing.awful
The culinary equivalent would be to finish off a fresh Japanese tuna dinner with urine soaked shark meat from Iceland.
I’m so infuriated. growth, redemption, vindication, sacrifice, altruism, love, washed away for stupidity and cross-marketing.
an argument of patriarchy and defeating the “male gaze.“ Should be enough. They were very adapt at choosing not the “hot girl“ to be super girl, but the rebel girl and the sacrifice of her “goodness“ to preserve the goodness of someone she loves is a poignant and powerful ending, and I didn’t see that coming. And then they fucked it all up.
The casting and character setup were incredibly deliberate. By choosing Milly Alcock—who brought a raw, jagged, and rebellious "un-Hollywood" energy—the film set itself up to completely subvert the standard "male gaze" and the classic, sexualized tropes of female superheroes. Alcock herself even noted in press interviews that the film's beauty lay in how it refused to center itself around a man
(CosmicBookNews). [1 (), 2 (Fox News insists on being the villain in another superhero’s story), 3 (CosmicBookNews), 4 (Blood Simple (1984)), 5 (GateBuster Review: The Wasp Woman)
The sacrifice of her "goodness" was a massive thematic triumph. Kara making the conscious, harrowing decision to stab Krem in order to absorb the moral trauma and preserve the childhood innocence of Ruthye. She wasn't fighting for male approval or code-enforcement; she crossed a line out of raw, sacrificial love.
The film proved she was stronger, more resilient, and willing to carry heavier burdens than Superman ever could. Forcing her into his shadow in the final moments didn't just hurt the pacing; it actively insulted the entire feminist text the first two hours built. They built a rebel who defeated the gaze, only to force her to her knees in the final four minutes to serve a male-led franchise. It is a total narrative betrayal.
Even if you could give a shit about female empowerment or feminism or any of that crap-- Having a powerful, morally complex, rebellious woman exist autonomously in deep space after committing an execution was too terrifying for the studio. They immediately felt the need to bring her back to Earth to be supervised, anchored, and domesticated by a male authority figure-- INSULTING and STUPID!
Again, whether you give two shits about feminism or avoiding "the male gaze" what they did at the end if the film would be like ending Thelma and Louise with T&L performing felatio on police to get out of going to jail...

Rian Johnson is/was carried by Joseph Gordon Levitt who has himself fallen off from popularity (thankfully because he's a commie faggot). Which is sad because I really liked him as a young actor and his role choice was fantastic. His indie film career was amazing in the 2000's.

The only people seeing this in the theater are Reddit trannies that work in movie theaters and the morbidly curious. Hell of a demographic to target, you marketing geniuses.

The fuck kind of review is this? That may be the gayest movie review I've ever seen on these forums. I'm not saying you've got no right to have the opinion the movie isn't bad (I'm not claiming otherwise and never will because I'll never watch this), but...what?
