@tylerllewtaing The change in the art direction, which I know has been talked to death already, can't be removed from the discussion. The comic, like Star Wars, is fantasy, not sci-fi. The film goes for the Guardians of the Galaxy sci-fi look and that changes everything from the villain to tone
not to kick SUPERGIRL while its down, but the part of the Variety review where it says that the movie’s dominant influence being the SW cantina scene and that the film is just doing that over and over again in increasingly mundane ways is the most accurate criticism I’ve read
Sony is making what is, perhaps, the best case I have ever seen for pirating movies.
Did you purchase “Terminator 2”, “Evil Dead”, or “Hot Fuzz” on your PlayStation? Tough luck. You can’t watch those anymore.

@Albrazili25@Teslimatttt Up until Aemma’s death, Daemon was the heir. Rhaenyra only became the heir after Daemon made the joke about “the heir for a day” and was exiled. That’s when the nobles swore to Rhaenyra. In fact, it was Otto’s suggestion.
Aegon being heir afterwards wasn’t that farfetched.
Box Office: Alas, ‘Supergirl’ is bombing ($18M on Friday for a likely over/under $40M weekend) for the same reason as (offhand) 'Morbius,’ ‘The Flash, ’ ‘The Marvels,’ & ‘Ant-Man 3'. Hollywood won’t accept that the era of automatic success for Marvel & DC movies ended years ago.
@richlai818@Fortress_of_DC It will be a huge mistake to launch a DCU Batman while the Reeves trilogy is ongoing. The comparison alone could kill the DCU if it becomes clear audiences prefer Reeves’ take on the character.
@unoonix@canadianavenger@McBDirect … and when they meet again, he asks for her forgiveness, apparently redeemed, and she hits him and he falls, not forgiving him.
Many people assumed she had killed him there but the author says he was only knocked unconscious. I think that’s a retcon but whatever.
@unoonix@canadianavenger@McBDirect The ending of the comic shows that he was placed in the Phantom Zone. The girl tells the story that he was killed by Kara in order for other villains to focus on Supergirl instead of her. Many decades later he’s released from the prison, the girl is an old woman… 1/2
@Kash28__@BlackMajikMan90 I’m sorry but both the Cinemascore and the box office opening aren’t average. They’re really bad. Supergirl most likely will lose money in the theatrical release.
Very early in Woman of Tomorrow, Kara tells a lie that carries through the entire book and is incredibly important to the theme.
In the movie, that lie is played straight and it was then that I was like, "Oh we might be missing the point here..."
@canadianavenger@McBDirect To create a big distinction between Kara and her cousin. Clark, the fabled “conqueror”, doesn’t kill. Kara, the daughter of the “good Kryptonians”, kills. It’s now clear that Kara would’ve had killed Lex in Clark’s shoes.
That will create drama between them.
@SJTimes13 The movie makes it clear that Krypton wasn’t a fascist civilization. They’ve doubled down on Jor-El being one, but he was the outlier. He was not a reflection of the whole of their society.
Hot hard left & right by negative WOM, almost no hope left for #SUPERGIRL to at least meet industry’s 50M projections at US #BoxOffice, after softer than expected 18M FRI Opening day (vs #DarkPhoenix’s 14M, #Morbius 17.3M, #JokerFolieADeux’s 20.3M, #TheMarvels’s 21.6M, #TheFlash’s 24.2M), incl 7.8M WED+THU previews.
Discounted previews, SUPERGIRL’s 10.2M Pure FRI Op. Day is way lower than #Morbius’ 11.6M, #TheFlash’s 14.8M & #TheMarvels’ 15M Pure FRI
DC Films’ #6 lowest Pure FRI in 20 years (just above #BlueBeetle’s 6.7M, #ShazamFuryOfTheGods 8.3M, #AquamanAndTheLostKingdom’s 9.2M & day&date COVID releases #TheSuicideSquad’s 8.1M & #WW84’s 7.5M over 2.151 theatres limited to 10% capacity)
Eyeing a 37M-42M 3-day opening weekend in the U.S.
Audiences have spoken!!! #2
And they won’t come to #SUPERGIRL’s rescue, as the #DCU film starring #MillyAlcock & #JasonMomoa received a troubling B- #CinemaScore from moviegoers, a first for DC Films, terrible for PG-13 blockbusters & on par with disasters such as #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld & #DarkPhoenix’s B-
And even below CBMs such as #BatmanvSuperman, #TheMarvels, #TheFlash, #Eternals, #Quantumania, #Aquaman2, #Catwoman, #Elektra, #Bloodshot & #GreenLantern’s B.
Not good for #BoxOffice legs, that’s for sure!
