    I would like to see a situation that cannot be solved by strength alone. It feels like lazy writing to take that strength away. Kryptonite as a plot device is kinda old. But if you use it for a few seconds here or there, like Superman (2025) that’s great. What I definitely do not want is a movie about Superman without his powers. Powerless for a situation? Yes! Powerless for 75% of the movie? No!

      Good, because this movie isn’t about either Superman without his powers or Supergirl without her powers. It’s about a very young adult sabotaging herself because of her pain and overcoming her self-imposed restrictions to save others.
