Saw Supergirl tonight. Unfortunately I must report that that shit was kinda weak.
To be more detailed: first chunk of the film kinda clunky and meandered. Honestly, most of the flick tends to meander about until a certain point. Kara feels like worse Star Lord. I stress worse cause she’s more jackass than likable but we know she’s gonna have her little arc about being less of douche so whatever.
I genuinely don’t like how they doubled down on the weird stuff around Clark’s father from the first movie. In fact, I don’t like how they hijack a lot of Clark’s stuff for the sake of making Kara different. Stripping Clark of any and all care of Krypton(and stealing his dog) and lumping it solely on Kara is stupid. There’s also some unnecessary mean spiritedness to Supes between having the dog piss on a picture of Clark to Kara swearing Clark’s heart is “pure” cause she hasn’t lost what she has.
Kara’s little sidekick was kinda annoying, minus the scenes where she was calling Kara out on being a miserable pos and doing nothing about it, Jason Mamoa’s Lobo was p cool, overwhelmingly underutilized tho. Kara’s power levels were kinda up down and all around. Doesn’t bother me that much but it’s worth noting.
Whatever Aesop Kara was trying to hammer home about her sidekick not killing the big bad was muddied by her immediately murdering him in cold blood moments after the other girl walked off. Lobo shoulda just done the deed or dragged him off. Honestly a better plot would be Lobo and Supergirl effectively being the angel and devil on the girl’s shoulder swaying her to either kill the guy or let em go.
Honestly that’s a lot of what I think of this movie. “Coulda did this.” “Better if they do that”. It’s all potential and not enough living up.
Also the needle drops were p lame this go round.
Overall I don’t regret watching it. 6/10 on its bbbest day. 4/10 if I’m being mean. It’s not a bad one watch, not really worth rewatching too often if at all tho.
