ok. the hate for supergirl 2026 is already getting exhausting. sure, it didn’t reinvent the genre or anything, and as someone who loves the Woman of Tomorrow comic i had a few nitpicks, but really what did people expect? it was a good movie. it was solid. i had fun!!! and milly alcock was phenomenal as kara. man, there were some action sequences where i teared up a little, simply because she’s freaking COOL. seeing a character like that on the big screen means a lot to women and young girls. ngl it makes me sad to see people react this harshly (many having gone into the film assuming they wouldn’t enjoy it, mind you - if you’re looking for things to dislike, then guess what? you’re gonna find them!) and be so cynical about the future of the dcu. the movie had heart as well as humor, and overall i thought it did a great job introducing kara to the dcu.

“NOT WHAT I’M CALLED” has been in my head for the past few days so have this

life feels good when I have multiple things to obsess over

[mari-monsta]

"we need more complex female characters." you guys can't even handle supergirl.

Kara should have been allowed to say fuck just once. She totally earned it

Ok but like. She’s an alcoholic. She’s angry. She’s grieving and it’s messy. She pisses people off on purpose. She cares about her dog more than anything. She maybe kidnapped a thirteen year old. She’s grumpy. She starts bar fights. She hasn’t done the dishes in weeks. She breaks things and hit people. I love her.

Not gonna lie, when Kara stopped Ruthye from killing that guy, I was a little confused, mostly because Kara had definitely just killed a ton of guys literally seconds ago and now she draws the line at the guy in charge? Of course then it became clear as the scene continued on that Kara never cared about whether this guy lived or died. It was Ruthye she was trying to save. But that was true the whole movie, wasn't it? And when she stopped Ruthye from becoming a killer, only to take on the burden herself because that was the kindest thing Kara could have done in that moment? Oof. That hit hard. It was such an emotionally satisfying scene on so many levels. I loved it.

Also The Middle cover in the fight scene was awesome people are just mean or they don't see the vision. But I DO. I SEE THE VISION.

i dont struggle with skin picking im very good at it

[cantbebotheredtm]

if you couldn't tell I just saw supergirl and I'm annoyed by all the unnecessary critique. it was a great movie (I honestly liked it better than superman) and people just hate strong, messy, and complex female characters.

"Is this movie actually bad, or does it just have a female protagonist?"

"It's actually bad."

*I watch the movie*

*it has a female protagonist*

[quasi-normalcy]

It does frustrate me how woman-led media isn't allowed to just be mediocre. If it's not so good that its goodness is undeniable, it's abominable trash that's a threat to western civilization

I understand why some people think Kara killing Krem at the end invalidated what she spent the whole movie telling Ruthye—but hear me out

Krem didn't deserve to live. He was a pedophile, a murderer, and a sex trafficker

Kara Zor-El knew that he shouldn't be allowed to live bc he'd just keep doing what he was doing

But does her murdering him in place of Ruthye invalidate her teaching Ruthye "murder is wrong"?

Well, no bc i dont rlly think the message was "murder is wrong"

It was "dont let your grief and rage consume you"

If Ruthye had murdered Krem in her grief and anger it would've consumed her. Kara didnt want her to live with that. She sacrificed a part of herself to kill Krem, so Ruthye wouldn't have to be the one who did it

Yes, Krem was a piece of shit who deserved to die

But that doesn't mean the 13 yr old girl whose entirely family was murdered should've been the one to kill him. Lets not put that on her to do. She shouldn't have to. Kara knew that, its why she did it instead
