That was such a misguided bit that kinda took me out of the movie and still annoys me. Like, instead of grabbing Krem, she grabs Ruthye to stop her from becoming a murderer… and then we as an audience see these desperate parents and their young daughter get killed on screen? And, hate to attempt racial optics discourse or whatever as a white person, but them being black did hit a certain way to me. Just so disposable. This movie’s whole relationship to innocence and death and justice simply doesn’t add up in any kinda satisfying or interesting way.
All this chat is really bumming me out lol. My daughter's been especially excited to see it so I'm pretty disappointed to hear all this.
To be fair, the way they handled that was closer to her original Silver Age backstory. The whole “she was older but got stuck and frozen in time on her way” thing was added later, presumably because people decided a floating city surviving was too silly. Tom King split the difference between the two takes (while fleshing it out in what was the best issue of that miniseries), and then this went the rest of the way back.
Cancelled my ticket for tonight heh. I still plan on seeing it, but if it's not an amazing movie, I would rather be in bed at 9:40 PM instead of just starting a movie. Weird show times at my theater.
Lol it was the only RPX showing tonight for some reason, I managed to get a 7 PM ticket for Spider-Man, idk why Supergirl is so late
This film just felt awkward for some reason. The pacing of the scenes made them feel stiff. Liked all the scenes with Superman and the first/last 10 minutes. Lobo was also annoying
Just so boring and looked so bad, the best it looked was during the outside fights near the end and even then it looked like shit. Cheap emotional manipulation with Krypto. Embarrassing
It felt like a movie Netflix would throw up and no one would watch except they threw supergirl in to it.
