@Metalfy@synaesthesiajp@GamesDoneQuick It is a textbook case of virtue signaling.
Which party is actually affected by this decision in the end, the SNK runners or the Saudis?
Supergirl is a massive disappointment. It feels nothing like a Craig Gillespie movie and instead comes across as a half-baked Guardians of the Galaxy. Milly Alcock tries her best, but I never fully bought her in the title role. As someone who wasn’t particularly high on Gunn’s Superman, this actually made me miss Superman. The plot is paper-thin, with the movie feeling like a collection of random scenes stitched together rather than a cohesive story. Sure, Krypto is still absolutely adorable, but a cute CGI dog isn’t enough to carry an entire film. The strange needle drops don’t help either. Just a bizarre and deeply disappointing experience. #Supergirl
#Supergirl is a “super-horrendous” comic book movie “with the worst script I can remember,” reads Variety’s review from @OwenGleiberman.
James Gunn said he wasn’t going into production on any movie until the script was rock-solid. For that was the overriding problem with the superhero overkill era: the films had lousy scripts, which served as grids for layering visual effects.
Gunn was right to want to take the comic-book genre back to the basics of well-structured screenwriting. So what has he done in his second DC outing? He’s given us a comic-book movie with the worst script I can remember.

@art_jake I'm not using this as some petty gotcha moment, it's a real shame. I really wanted to like it as well
Despite the issues with the film, the main cast is very likeable which gives me hope for MoT. Hopefully they can reflect on what worked and what didn't with this film
