if there ever is a wonder woman animated show theres a good chance itll be based on tom kings current run. think about it, he gave kiteman more focus in his comics and then kiteman got a fucking animated show before wonder woman, and then he got his supergirl comic adapted into a movie this dude is definetly a fucking psyop

Supergirl : l'adaptation catastrophique de Woman of Tomorrow qui déçoit les fans

Le nouvel univers cinématographique DC, lancé par James Gunn avec *Superman* (2025), devait marquer un renouveau. Pourtant, *Supergirl* (2026) s’annonce déjà comme un échec retentissant. Avec seulement 79 millions de dollars de recettes mondiales pour un budget estimé entre 170 et 180 millions, le film divise la critique et laisse les fans perplexes. Mais au-delà des chiffres, c’est la trahison…

As a Tom King Hater(TM) I am surprised how much the changes of the supergirl movie bother me. It’s like the most basic misunderstanding of the themes of Woman of Tomorrow. Like, this movie fucking BETRAYS the comic it adapts. More than “Rorschach is the good guy” in Watchmen. Putting the spoiler bit under the cut

Okay so part of the book is growing beyond her trauma. Krypto (in the book) was never in danger. This was a quest to stop Krem nominally but also to help Ruthye heal. Now that Kara kills Krem, it’s not growing beyond trauma. It’s “I don’t want this girl to end up like me.”

This implicitly says Kara can’t or won’t grow beyond her trauma. She’s damaged goods and so she keeps being damaged goods for the sake of all the undamaged.

Also Krem was an evil government official. Like a regular guy who did evil things because his institutional power let him play with lives. The brigands brought him on because they were surprised this rando guy was so fucked up. It’s like if Brian Thompson was portrayed as Thanos.

Also the comic has a lot of beautiful psychedelic art. NONE of that is in the movie. No space dragon, no phoenix, etc. Krem now looks like a rejected mad max character and has superpowers. I hate to say it, but this looked like a man of steel sequel (if they had the whimsy to allow a cartoon dog).

can we talk about Tom King for a sec?? im sorry if im the boring person on your feed but it really pisses me off how DC has not fired this man yet. his poor writing is frustrating? Sure. But since there are bigger problems about him, I ought to remind y’all: TOM KING IS A WAR CRIMINAL WHO TALKS ABOUT ALL HE DID IN IRAQ WITH PRIDE. He’s said himself and I’ll quote: “I always found that kind of fascinating — these guys would work with America to take over a country that used to be theirs.”

That guy has blood on his hands and he does not regret it one bit.
