    MCU slop basically caused the fatigue of superheros, nobody wants or needs promotion of a promotion of a supehero movie in another movie. superman/supergirl has been done to death with the previous CW shows,.

    Based on the Cinemacon reactions from normally favorable media sources, Supergirl is looking bad.

    Putting aside that none of the actors were prepped for their presentation, apparently the scene they showed dragged on and was just generally received very poorly by the media members who were present.

    Which was personally disappointing for me to hear as I like Millie Alcock, and thought the trailers have looked decent so far.

    Bummer.

      We sure it’s not just the usual misogyny? (Note that I am not familiar with the Cinemacon audience.)

      Yeah, when an ex tells you not that they’ve changed, but that it was all someone else’s fault…

      These fucking wannabe-guillotine-testers went so far as to publicize their claim unprompted, too. (Oh, wow. The veracity? Mmf. Unassailable.🤌🏼)

      Well. Shit. That’s good and dead, innit.

        … What? That’s literally the exact opposite of what Safran said. He clearly positioned it as the fault of the industry – making zero attempt to distance DC Studios from the blame – and then claimed that they had changed with Supergirl.

        Whether you believe the claim they’ve changed is categorically separate from (if I’m reading your comment right, because honestly it’s a bit incoherent) claiming Safran shifted blame elsewhere and purported not to have changed.

      What would be cool and original? The new Superman was pretty good and nailed the tone of the character. Also did a good job of Guy Gardner and Mr Terrific. And Lex was legit a good bad guy, constantly testing the loyalty of those around him like a narcissistic billionaire does.

      I like Shazam. Shit like Batman vs Superman is just too one dimensional unless you’re already deeply invested in those franchises.

        I quite liked Reeves’ Batman and Gunn’s Superman, while a tad bit unfocused in narrative, was a fresh take on Superman i that was sorely needed after whatever the fuck Man of Steel and BvS were supposed to be, Cavill’s tight abs be damned.

          Superman had a lot of flaws as a film and could have benefited from some aggressive rewrites, but the portrayal of Superman as a character was excellent. Quite frankly, it was refreshing to see a live action Superman movie that isn’t ashamed to be a Superman movie.

        Were you stunned by how even your low expectations were left unmet?

        Meanwhile, the new Superman movie was actually good, the only decent DC film since Nolan’s Batmen

          this is what worries me. I had some neighbors who recommended it and personally I found it. Ok. The best parts to me were krypto and supergirl though so was kinda excited for supergirl although my expectations are low.
