@CricketOnScreen I'm backing Leeds because last year the Superchargers (their last name) had a ridiculous run to the playoffs which ended with their qualifier game getting washed out.
The things that kept happening to that team were so bizarre I can't help but loving it.
I'll say...and the reason nobody is talking about it more is because not enough people know who she is. And if they did, they would have read WoT and I do not see how they defend this movie after that.
Not to be that friend that's too woke, but naming the Child Sex Slave Planet after the comic's female artist is pretty freaking weird right? #Supergirl
I did not like this movie...but the horrendous misogyny levelled at Milly Alcock should never have happened and the execs and other higher-ups should have stood by her and defended her more fiercely.
People saying it was wrong for them to say this are so damn spineless and show a severe lack of respect for women.
Milly Alcock was getting dragged for months before she said a single word solely because of her looks not matching men’s standards.
When she actually did start talking and saying very reasonable things about women in superhero media, outlets deliberately decided to misinterpret what she said and farm outrage.
More reporters then started asking her about shit that isn’t even relevant to the film just to create even more outrage.
Variety, one of the biggest news outlets, went out of their way to write one of the most mean spirited reviews of the film where they spent a paragraph criticizing Milly’s looks in the most disgusting way possible.
And then she ended up on Fox News.
And she’s 26 years old.
If you’re actually going to sit here and say that they shouldn’t have called out this behavior and defended their actresses (as if being quiet helped Brie Larson in any way), then you’re part of the problem.
What exactly is the message here? Ruthye deserves to keep the blood off her hands, but Kara doesn't? The Superman movie establishes pocket universes, the Phantom Zone wasn't a huge stretch.
Milly Alcock deserved a lot better than this.
Let's make this clear. Ana Nogueira is a brilliant writer and that Supergirl ending is empowering, shocking and cathartic. It was the best choice to cement the film's message.
The fact that it's different from the comic is a GOOD thing! Adaptations should bring a new lens.
The most famous inmates of the Phantom Zone are General Zod and a bunch of evil Kryptonians so I don't think Krem being slightly strong (he never matched Kara at full strength) would be an issue if they put him there.
Its an unnecessary change for the sake of a change.
I wonder if any people ever consider the fact that maybe the phantom zone doesn’t exist in the DCU yet, or atleast the phantom zone projector doesn’t exist.
Kara doing what she did in the end worked thematically and character wise in the context of the film, but there’s also many practical reasons why it works too.
Not only is he super powered and can likely break out of nearly any prison they put him in, but he’s also a child trafficker and says if he lives he’ll find Ruthye and keep taking little girls.
Like, do you want Kara to just say “Nuh uh” and walk away??😭
Very true, because India's bowlers actually did well in these conditions. But the batters failed to adapt. Also, with the batting-friendly pitches and short boundaries, it can be actually hard to judge how good a hitter a batter truly is.
These two games are an eye-opener. Even the best in the world can't adjust quickly enough from the 250 kind of wickets proudly offered to them. That is why they need 160-170 games from time to time. Those are good because they challenge batsmen.
This will be hard to disprove as thanks to the IPL it can be hard to tell who are genuine hitters as opposed to those benefitting from the pitch and short boundaries.
@ErikaMorris79 Something that is concerning is despite that high strike rate at the death, the runs at that point (75) are noticeably low for someone who has been batting for most of the innings. This implies that he faces a few deliveries, hits them for boundaries, and gets out.
