ok. the hate for supergirl 2026 is already getting exhausting. sure, it didn’t reinvent the genre or anything, and as someone who loves the Woman of Tomorrow comic i had a few nitpicks, but really what did people expect? it was a good movie. it was solid. i had fun!!! and milly alcock was phenomenal as kara. man, there were some action sequences where i teared up a little, simply because she’s freaking COOL. seeing a character like that on the big screen means a lot to women and young girls. ngl it makes me sad to see people react this harshly (many having gone into the film assuming they wouldn’t enjoy it, mind you - if you’re looking for things to dislike, then guess what? you’re gonna find them!) and be so cynical about the future of the dcu. the movie had heart as well as humor, and overall i thought it did a great job introducing kara to the dcu.

why is it that when im reading fanfic i feel like i have a fairly good metric for if something is characterized accurately but when im trying to write suddenly its like ive never seen this character in my life. would he say that. would he fucking say that. suddenly i have no idea

"we need more complex female characters." you guys can't even handle supergirl.

Kara should have been allowed to say fuck just once. She totally earned it

Ok but like. She’s an alcoholic. She’s angry. She’s grieving and it’s messy. She pisses people off on purpose. She cares about her dog more than anything. She maybe kidnapped a thirteen year old. She’s grumpy. She starts bar fights. She hasn’t done the dishes in weeks. She breaks things and hit people. I love her.

i dont struggle with skin picking im very good at it

It does frustrate me how woman-led media isn't allowed to just be mediocre. If it's not so good that its goodness is undeniable, it's abominable trash that's a threat to western civilization
