worlds enough and time

someone on twitter just said kara didn’t actually care about the child trafficking part and her only motivation was krypto.

as if she didn’t spend time she could have spent beating krem’s ass to get the antidote freeing all of his child brides.

as if she didn’t find one of their bodies and clearly decided then that he needed to die.

kara is bad at expressing her feelings but she clearly cared about those little girls and took valuable time to make sure they went free.

Krem didn't deserve to live. He was a pedophile, a murderer, and a sex trafficker

Kara Zor-El knew that he shouldn't be allowed to live bc he'd just keep doing what he was doing

But does her murdering him in place of Ruthye invalidate her teaching Ruthye "murder is wrong"?

Well, no bc i dont rlly think the message was "murder is wrong"

It was "dont let your grief and rage consume you"

If Ruthye had murdered Krem in her grief and anger it would've consumed her. Kara didnt want her to live with that. She sacrificed a part of herself to kill Krem, so Ruthye wouldn't have to be the one who did it

Yes, Krem was a piece of shit who deserved to die

I'm actually pissed about all the hate supergirl is getting. Watched it in 3d and fuck dude, James Gunn did a phenomenal job. I am in love.

The needle drop was good. Cgi good. Acting amazing. Story, chefs kiss. The ending? In love.

Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.

Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.

It can not always be about your preferred topic.

1) She wasn’t superpowered on Argo. She was exactly the same as she was on any other red sun planet except sicker. Unlike Clark, she didn’t grow up super. This is what her body normally feels like to her. Being super on Earth is new and unnatural to her.

2) She’s in a state of mental anguish, disassociation, and grief and is self-medicating through that with her dog and alcohol and guess what? Alcohol doesn’t work on Earth or any other yellow sun system.

3) The point of the movie is that you have to choose to be good and kind, and that it’s hard, and that also being good and kind does not look the same for everyone. For Kara, making that choice also meant choosing to become sober in the face of her depression and alocholism, which is extremely difficult for any alcoholic. She needed something beyond Ruthye’s plea to force her into action, and that was putting her best friend and emotional support animal’s life in jeopardy. Nothing else was enough to motivate her.

4) Relapsing is extremely common and expected. The dual sun planet mimicked the way that you can start feeling better on your antidepressants and then get hit out of nowhere with another wave of it. It’s awful. But guess what? There’s still hope if you wait it out.

5) The fights in the movie progressed from seeking to self-harm (she enjoyed the physical novelty of being hurt on Ruthye’s planet when she fought the thief) to preventing hurt (to Ruthye’s childhood and psyche and the girls who would have been trafficked had she not ended the bandit ring), which is also a journey of acceptance of her new powers. She goes from resenting having them because they are inextricably related to the death of her family and people, to accepting that she has the power to do real good and prevent other people hurting the way she is.

It's not as bad as these doomerists with no whimsy make it out to be??

Like I wish it were more colorful, or like, brighter.... and some things felt so random, but overall???

The story was good, and a great way to introduce Kara Zor-El, her character themes, and her personality — relative to it being the beginning of a cinematic universe, of course

And it was a tasteful way of explaining how Krypton haunts the narrative

Two major disappointments though that doesnt spoil the plot at all but if you dont wanna see that, move along
