Supergirl (2026) is about girls and daughters and women. It's about messy girls, vulnerable girls, strong girls, scared girls. And, last but not least, it's about girls protecting girls. And it's all important.

but i stay silly! *←said in the most world-weary voice you ever did hear*

Reblog you stay silly

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

I LOVE how Kara’s hair just goes everywhere in this film. It’s whipping around at the bus, it’s freezing in a mess around her head in space, it’s draped over her head and hiding her face from vomit. It so satisfying to watch! And then her final sun moment where it’s flowing majestically in the wind really fits how she’s stepping into her hero shoes!!!

AND ANOTHER THING about Supergirl is that I was really worried the movie would be all “take the high ground” about killing human traffickers and shit, but then at the end Kara just fucking stabs that guy TWICE and I realized the movies actually about cycles of abuse and protecting the innocent

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.
