Supergirl Review!
supergirl was so good!! it was badass and bittersweet. they did a really great job at exploring grief and death in a pg13 movie. visually darker than superman, but the colors were still vibrant which was amazing since this age of media loves that monotone, dull, cool tone filter.
tw: themes of suicide, self-harm, and child sexual abuse in this movie.
spoilers below.
how my friend left me for dead in a foreign state
thursday was supposed to be a simple day trip to brooklyn w a “friend”. i’ll call her asshole. by the afternoon our flight got cancelled due to the weather. got to laguardia airport & customer service rebooked our flight. a worker told us ALWAYS get insurance bc of things like this. (remember this for later)
asshole booked a hotel all the way in manhattan w/o even discussing it w me. later i paid my half for both nights. thought i saw an earlier flight. i tell asshole “i see a new one, can i pay you pay back anyway [my half night 2] if we can get on this flight?” she agrees. not even 30 seconds later i say “oh no nvm that flight is for saturday”. asshole goes “i already cancelled the hotel”. didn’t discuss or tell me anything about cancelling beforehand, she just did whatever she wanted AGAIN. who travels w someone & won’t double check, ask clarifying questions, take time to plan together??
next morning, asshole tells me they charged her a cancellation fee of the same price. i tell her to call customer service to get a refund. she says “i can’t” over & over before admitting she didn’t book w insurance so no refunds. ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?? we’re going back & forth as im trying to convince her to call to at least TRY to get her money back & she’s refusing. asshole then says i owe her half the cancellation fee & that this is both of our faults?? i already paid what i owed, im not paying for YOUR mistake.
i update my mom & my mom calls customer service FOR HER. she does her thing & said hotel will contact asshole’s email about issuing her refund. during the process, asshole was still saying i have to pay her back & irritated that i’m trying to fix HER mistake.
later, asshole texts me, leaves me for dead in manhattan, & blocks me on everything. i spent 20 hours at the airport before getting on an early delayed flight home all alone. saw her at o’hare so she made it home safe, but had no idea if she got her refund. i took the greatest shower of my life & slept like 14 hours.
yesterday, my mom got a call from the hotel that asshole got refunded. so asshole put both of our lives in danger for nothing. not only that, but she lied to me. she told me the cancellation fee was the same price as the booking, over $200, but her refund was $175. so asshole wanted me to pay her half of the fee, but it would’ve been more than what i owed. so this bitch wanted to scam me out of my own fucking money.
asshole is a CUNT. i hope anywhere & anytime she travels, something terrible happens & she wastes even more money than she did this weekend. what a terrible human being.
what are we supposed to do without claudia in s3
everyone hates jordan’s fuck ass bob but imo i think they look pretty & it shows that they’re getting more comfortable being more fem as a guy just like how they dress masc as a woman & wear their signature pearl chain
i have mixed thoughts on gen v’s finale: spoilers
thomas goldokin having such a quick death felt unsatisfying… but i also understand why bc it’s on theme in this universe where characters die unexpectedly quick deaths. in the boys it’s kinda normal for the characters to murder everybody & just move on as like a motion that loss of humanity is descentized to those with morals & meaningless to evil supes. but i wanted more from him & marie’s story.
questions:
how did goldokin discover his powers?? idk why he took the v regardless since he knew his colleagues were gonna die from it but, how was he even able to access his power from being nearly burnt alive & no use of his body except his brain? he kept telling sage that he needs to learn how to use his powers to be able to control marie yet he’d been harnessing the body & brain of doug for like 30 years + being able to control jordan through a body that wasn’t even his… but he couldn’t control marie that entire time until he miraculously did at the end?
how did goldokin & sage meet? we’ll probably get more answers in the boys season 5 but i’m just yapping lol i don’t understand sage’s play here… she was working with homelander bc the chaos of humanity is exciting to her but here she was hopping on goldokin’s doug dick begging him to follow their plan… what plan?? how did they meet??
what’s up with marie’s powers? healing polarity & resurrecting her sister was literally nothing but a nose bleed but healing goldokin was what made her weak enough to not even be able to heal doug’s internal bleeding?? (rip doug) she lifted up like 5 of her friends to cause them pain & then later on head popped goldokin like victoria neumann does… why couldn’t she do that right after she trained & learned cipher/goldokin was a psycho??
why did they change the elmira prison layout? season 1 finale they were all stuck in one white room with no doors but season 2 they’re all in seperate rooms each with a door. marie escaped bc a guard was transporting her to another room & left the rest of friends there… also, why was emma in a glass container in the middle of the room as opposed to being locked in a metal cell like cate & the others??
why did marie & jordan break up?! ik why they broke up :/ jordan is probably tired of doing laps with marie wondering the next time she was gonna abandon them again but still, i miss my fave couple already. marie told jordan like a week ago they loved each other & now they’re not together anymore wtfff :/
comments:
bittersweet that they re-wrote the plot around andre aka chance perdomo’s passing, using polarity’s power instead of his. i actually liked that polarity wanted vengeance for his son.
sam’s character development is really funny & weird to me bc he told emma that he’s taking responsibility for his actions (murdered like half of the humans on campus but he meant in fixing their relationship lmfao) & that he got on new meds… who gave him new meds?? LOL they were all at stan edgar’s house wdym you started new meds
i love emma so much but i wanted to see more of her controlling her power :/ she’s always used as a tool to spy & can’t fight. the only fighting she did was kicking thomas goldokin after she grew big w/o eating for the first time & that’s all we got :/ if we get a s3 i hope to see her fight more
since marie & homelander share similar dna im hoping she can just take him out cause im so tired of him lmao i do wanna see a giant bloodbath of a battle happen tho, i don’t want any type of plot armor around the boys or even gen v, cause yk if they try to take down homelander, he will take them down with him.
very excited for s5 - final season of the boys & hopefully renewed for s3 of gen v bc i need more jordan!!
i will be writing 2 separate posts of the boys & gen v characters & my opinions on them <3 this universe is my latest hyper fixation & im having the time of my life. stay tuned!!
one thing i love about jordan li’s character design is that their bra or tank stays on underneath their shirt when they switch
Yall do see that he's putting the suit INSIDE the box and that the title says STEVE ROGERS while they usually (except cases like Loki or Thor whose names are their hero names) use the hero names for the characters right? He's not coming back as CAPTAIN AMERICA he has a role as STEVE and it's not a leading role. Anthony was literally at every single filming location, any time there was a cast photo anywhere he was there. And following the mcu isn't hard at all it's just...watching things, not mining or open heart surgery.
……. okay and?? we know he’s coming back as steve rogers bc in the trailer they would’ve labeled him as captain america, not steve rogers… but reprising steve - a white man who held the mantle as the former captain america - is still disrespectful & overshadows sam wilson - a black man - as the new gen’s captain america. steve’s time was over 8 years ago. they only brought steve back bc their shitty writers wrote off the kang dynasty storyline.
imo, if they wanted him back so bad they could’ve written his time in a season of loki evading the tva instead of being part of doomsday where it was supposed to be about new gen characters.
i grew up in the mcu so i got to grow with the movies so it wasn’t hard for me at all. however, if you’re recently new to the mcu, it is extremely difficult to follow. 20 years worth of movies & tv shows - of not just the avengers, but also the x-men - to catch up on for a single avengers movie is very hard to learn in a short amount of time & shouldn’t be downplayed for newbies.
i understand what they’re doing with steve rogers in doomsday. him going back in time to be w peggy & them having a child while 1940s steve is still in the ice is a cool reason as to why universes are splitting apart.
but after all the bullshit marvel did:
• building up character development & then suppressing & discarding their most powerful & influential black, brown, queer, &/or female characters (sam wilson, riri williams, carol danvers, monica rambeau, shang-chi, the eternals, kate bishop, america chavez, kamala khan, etc)
• not re-casting jonathan majors as kang hence re-writing the entirety of phase 5 & 6
• doomsday being a cash grab of old white men nostalgia
• & submitting to white supremacy, copaganda, & zionism
knowing that is the reason why marvel went to trash after endgame & distinctively ruined our childhoods is heart breaking.
i’m grateful for the characters the built up this past decade but over-saturating the mcu with very fleshed out REAL characters just to strip them away for old white men that have been gone for decades is so fucking power hungry & greedy.
i love that james gunn was able to almost revitalize the mcu’s multiverse into dc in a more digestible way through superman & peacemaker.
if you wanted to get into phase 6 of the mcu, you'd have to catch up on 50+ complicated movies & tv shows to understand all the characters roles that's supposed to lead to doomsday. almost 20 years worth of media in the mcu
but if you're new to dc or rusty, you wouldn't have to catch up on years worth of lore or even any of the remakes. just watch superman & then peacemaker.
in a jist, in superman lex luther created a pocket universe to allow him to travel between dimensions before ripping part of the earth in two. in peacemaker, chris' father owns this device where he can open doorways into other universes. the message of it all was personal to not just chris but also a political message for the audience which was great imo
i think the mcu had some great movies & shows after endgame but the mcu has been falling apart for a while now because of how complicated & oversaturated it is.
james gunn's dcu has been amazing so far, not just comic accurate & politically aware, but it's digestable yet deep enough to dissect & reflect!
im on mid season 9 of supernatural & i miss the earlier seasons :(( when it was just the boys hunting demons & creatures & finding the truth about john’s disappearance & sam being hunted by the yellow eyed demon.
it’s taken me a few years to reach s9 bc i hop btwn shows & sometimes forget what happened so i start over. it’s fun n all & i like the complexity of supernatural in later seasons, but it does get exhausting seeing sam & dean go through the constant cycle of needing to save the world from angels vs demons & the abuse they put each other through. i miss the dark, foggy, & gloomy air. sam & dean running through the woods pit stopping at diners eating burgers & pie. at the libraries researching, calling bobby. how every ep was a new creature to hunt & ppl to save.
to get into the spirit of fall i think im gonna start over again & reminisce on the old supernatural :(
one thing i really like about superman is how kinda refreshing it was to see lex luther just being a fucking lunatic.
usually movies make the villains hate the hero bc they accidentally killed a loved one or they’re an evil person “just because” which are either watered down or overrsaturated. but lex maliciously murders innocents & create cataclysmic events out of pure envy bc superman gets all the attention… that’s it lmao
i don’t think media explores how crippling & spiteful jealousy can have on a person, let alone a multi-billionaire. this is what happens when the rich are riddled with apathy & envy. they destroy the world to feed their already overflowing pocket & fragile, childish egos.
quick simple edit of our beloved butch sevika 🤍
clark shouting "people were going to DIE" in the face of the "think of the consequences of your actions" argument is so fucking important to me bc it really IS that simple you can't look at a genocide and just twiddler your thumbs bc you're a afraid of the consequences ESPECIALLY when you can do something about it and THATS WHAT CLARK DID. WITHOUT HESITATION. WITHOUT CONSIDERING HOW IT COULD HURT HIM. bc hes a good person and in his brain its really just people were going to die so i had to step in bc what else would it be. superman i love you i love you i love you
superman review!
imma be real with you... I LOVE SUPERMAN!
i can't stop thinking about it after i watched it yesterday. i actually left amc feeling pure joy - smiling on the train ride home. i was not expecting this level of hope & happiness from a dc movie considering man of steel & the batman movies are always so dark, mysterious, & brooding. this movie was funny, political, bright, full of hope, & my favorite... HUMAN.

I have to resurrect my tumblr from the dead for my thoughts on the new Superman movie:
THIS WAS AN AMAZING MOVIE. THAT WAS SUPERMAN.
He’s corny, he’s midwestern, he’s a nerd and everyone kind of bullies him for it. He says things like “what the hay dude” or “I’m punk rock- I’m totally punk” completely seriously. He takes several extra precious seconds to save a squirrel. He’s ready to fly headfirst into danger to save his dog because the dog’s probably “scared and all alone” even though it’s not a particularly good dog all the time. He loves his parents. He has bad band posters hanging in his childhood bedroom. He takes the time to calm a lady on a rooftop in the middle of a fight. He cares.
As for the actual plot- it’s really difficult to make a Superman movie feel high stakes, especially while trying to keep it real. In the comics Superman gets into situations it would be nearly impossible to show on screen, like fighting in front of a black hole, but somehow this movie makes it work. James Gunn tapped into his experience making Guardians of the Galaxy and it shows in the best way possible. You find yourself wondering how in the world Superman is going to win- and that’s what makes this such an amazing superhero movie.
Superman’s true weakness isn’t kryptonite, it’s thinking and planning ahead. All the villains that beat him in the comics match his brawn, but have the brains to get an edge and have better fight strategy. All superman knows is that “people were going to die” and since he’s such an unbelievably GOOD guy, that’s all that matters to him. We saw it when the “justice gang” was helping him fight the alien monster and we saw it in Louis’s interview. When you have a superhero with barely any weaknesses, you need something more than the threat of losing a fight to make him interesting.
Now for Lex- no notes. He was brilliantly written. It can be difficult to take his character seriously, but that speech at the end where he was screaming to be recognized because, to him, humanity’s ability to overcome odds and achieve through innovation is critical and Superman’s existence risks overshadowing that? That was deadly serious.
Last serious note- I’m glad they kept it political. The United States government being scared of an alien and the threat of invasion despite the fact that Superman has done nothing but help them? A billionaire approaching the government to encourage foreign intervention because it will allow him to profit? A foreign power that the U.S. is officially allied to even though everyone knows they’ve committed horrible war crimes but nobody actually KNOWS that and the smaller neighbor they’re threatening to wipe out in order to “free” them from an oppressive regime? Superman declaring that he’s just like everyone else, that he’s human too and that’s his greatest strength? The idea of radical love? Yeah.
FINAL NOTE: I think that a scene from this movie sums up what I got from it very well. It’s when Louis is talking about how Clark isn’t punk rock. She says that he trusts everyone he’s ever met and he thinks that everyone is beautiful. And he responds: “maybe that’s punk rock.” He’s right. It is. And that’s Superman.
Anyways…good movie. Go watch it.
What's your take on how dbh used blm imagery? I know a lot of people think it's disrespectful and I'm inclined to agree but I'm curious on your thoughts about it.
honestly, i don’t feel disrespected by it. in my post on why the black characters of dbh had to be black, i mention in markus’s section on the use of blm imagery & why im glad markus was black bc of it.
if a white or non-black person was the leader of jericho that’s when id feel angry that they’d taken our history & given it to someone else who has never lived through it. but bc they chose jesse williams (who is also a known activist & former history teacher irl which makes his character more potent imo) & made his character a representation of him, i feel this was the best outcome.
i do see that it could all be in poor taste bc at the end of the day it’s a video game with an unrealistic fictional story line, but the plot itself has too many similarities to what black ppl have actually gone through. for that, im honestly glad they made sure to have important black characters bc it made it almost intentional for black gamers & viewers to resonate with. (but alas, everyone ofc gets swept away by connor but i digress)
as a black person myself, im personally not offended by the blm imagery of the game but another black person can be & totally has the right to it since the game is fictional.
why the black characters of detroit: become human HAD to be black | character study ♡
characters: markus, rose & adam, luther, amanda, lucy, josh - honorable mentions: the android security officer, & the deviant connor interogated.
having these characters be black was such a vital importance to the android revolution! i love how most of them were portrayed in the light considering the game came out in 2018, but how it's still influential - if not more, now that it's 2025. although most are good, there are a few controversial elements to some characters.
here's my analysis:
markus
whether you chose the android revolution in a pacifist or violent direction, the journey & the outcome would not have been as complex & meaningful if markus wasn't black.
especially since when you're choosing to tag or destroy public items while freeing other androids, one of the symbols you can choose to tag is one with a fist in the air. a symbol we all know and well belongs to the black lives matter movement. although the game came out in 2018 & blm didn't rise until 2020, it's still so powerful today that we got to see black man (black android) wave the flag & even at one point in the game get him & his fellow comrads to lift his fist while protesting. if markus was white i would've been disgusted LOL that is OUR symbol.
it was also interesting to see how markus ended up being the android's leader. you'd think that someone like north - who was violently abused, subjugated to oppression regardless of skin color would be leader. we see that in movies time and time again where a character's origin story is a violent one & rises the ranks to freedom.
not markus. he was raised with essentially peace in his heart & wanted his people to feel that.
