nobody's feastin, superman was trash and the season finale for peacemaker was some of the worst tv to date, all right after Joker 2 which was maybe the worst movie I've ever seen.
But why?!
I think I noped out of Supergirl (and the whole berlanti-verse, I think) after s3 of supergirl because I don't recall Witwers character at all. About all I really recall from the show was the leads UNDENIABLE attraction to one of her co-stars over her own husband (I believe she partner swapped at some point) and the morose sister dealing with her lesbian love life. Sheesh.If anyone is even remotely, slightly curious about the Supergirl TV series...I've suffered through all of it and the only season I'd truly recommend watching is Season 4. It introduces both Agent Liberty and Lex Luthor and has a good story involving how both managed to slowly sow public distrust against Supergirl. And I promise it's better than using a network of CGI monkeys to type troll comments on social media.
Agent Liberty was played by Sam Witwer, who did a fantastic job.
The writing for the show suddenly shot up in quality this specific season and stayed consistently good with good plot twists. Probably one of the most random good moments to happen for such a mediocre show.
I kept up with it because they would do giant crossover episodes with Arrow (which I liked), Black Lightning (which I liked enough), Legends of Tomorrow (which was fun enough), and Flash (which slowly got worse).
The story it's based on had lots of humor in it? Did you read Woman of tomorrow?. This seems to be tracking pretty close.
Not this type of humor. Yeah I read it (a few years ago tho for sure) and I don't remember stupid "jokes" like those.
Yep.
I hated everything he did with DC
not close at all, the comic has some humorous bits but it's not the focus at all, it's very straight played serious most of the time.
Him and Lex were both introduced in Season 4 and Agent Liberty was only in that season, which ended up being a good thing because the more a character stays on the show the more their writing suffers. Season 4 can technically be seen on it's own because of how it's written.
I remember a bunch of goofy stuff in it. Again with underlying dark themes. Most of the interactions with the young girl are written with humor, several of the fight scenes have humor in them. One of the planets is completely ridiculous that they visit.
I thought the trailer looked great so I guess I am the target audience.
Its really common for Brits/Aussies to use it when doing an American accent.
"Ok it does not look like this is gonna end well... (Dramatic pause) For YOU guys!"
No, that's Jason Momoa.
That Lobo right?
It's her FIRST movie, cut her some slack!!"Ok it does not look like this is gonna end well... (Dramatic pause) For YOU guys!"

Unironically her appearance and her past work is exactly what I was imagining. In my mind it was a wine sipping Millennial Karen with little to no interest in comics/superhero stuff that was likely a nepo hire. Probably wrote the whole thing sitting on a window nook while listening to true crime podcasts with scented candles spread around.It's her FIRST movie, cut her some slack!!
I wonder perhaps if she was hired for...other qualities.
But maybe she has been cranking out scripts for years and doing uncredited rewrites, then was just the best of the scripts DC commissioned for a possible supergirl movie. She's a total unknown to us so who kniws?
I want to agree. She's top heavy and looks good overall.
Flash super girl was better
superman is not some kind of special anomaly per se, every kryptonian under a yellow sun becomes that strong.
Marvel's fans. Superman was a "Marvel slop", and so it continues.
Flash super girl was better
Accurate + they keep trying to make Superman not Super, i.e., they keep trying to humanize his morality even though he's a God on Earth.
No, it was an alternate timeline/earth. She was good as the character but Gunn essentially rebooted everything.
I liked the recent Superman movie a lot but I'm not very familiar with Supergirl. I only watched one episode of the tv series. This trailer got me excited.
Seemed like a normal joke"Ok it does not look like this is gonna end well... (Dramatic pause) For YOU guys!"

Might I recommend the Supergirl movie from the early 80s. very bad movie.
When it comes to Supes what should be a draw is the writing, his judgement and wisdom when it comes to using his powers, the restraints he puts on himself to not hurt innocents.
I have been thinking about getting the Warner Archive release. Its connected to the Reeve movies so I need to see it.
Then the question becomes "how well known are kryptonian weaknesses"? Kryptonite, being sequestered inside their planet/not made yet, is exceedingly rare pre-explosion, but the other weaknesses, particularly magic, seem like things Kryptonians would want kept a secret. The Lantern Corps, in particular, sems like a group that would devote significant resources towards thwarting Kryptonians should they go rogue. Or are Kryptonians relatively unknown to the broader universe?
Exactly. Supes should be put into situations where there is an EASY solution, but one that is morally questionable, versus one that is HARD but morally right. He always goes for the hard, but right, choice instead of the easy one. He can't be written like a normal dude with a couple of powers, he is a MYTHIC being. Clark is his attempt to imitate humans with all their frailties, which is why he's a bit of a charicature. Yes, I'm aware that's the QT take from Kill Bill but I think it's astute. You can't really make an engaging film writing him like that, at least not one that heavily focuses on Supes, but that ideal should always be in the writers mind when they construct dialogue for him.
In the comic she has to deal with someone using one of the weaknesses against her, and it isn't kryptonite.
