"Oh, so you hate Supergirl because it has a badass woman killing pedophiles trafficking young girls to keep their all mens race going?"
No, I actually love it for that. I only hate Supergirl because...
It feels so slow and boring due to the lack of energy, where I was already checking my phone thirty minutes in.
It has color grading that's on par with your standard MCU schlock and BARELY looking better than a Snyder film.
The lighting was so dark that I could barely tell what was happening most of the time. Like, the first fight scene in the movie is at night and I can barely tell what the fuck was happening.
It has the most laughably bad needle drop for a climax I've ever seen. Seriously, I want to see that list of songs they had before choosing THIS one as the best one.
It has one of the most irritating little child characters I've seen. I get it, she's traumatized and thirsty for revenge, but holy shit, even my sister found her annoying and the ways she constantly threw herself into danger irritating. She thinks she can do ANYTHING but can't really do shit unless Supergirl or Lobo's there to do the things she can't. She's a textbook example of a dumbass in distress, and I couldn't stand a MINUTE of it.
Oh, and Supergirl's motivation for killing these child-sex-slave traffickers? It's so she can get a cure for her dog. Not because they're trafficking children, that's just a bonus and justification for her not to pull her punches with them. Honestly, if Kreel didn't shoot Krypto with that poison dart, she might have just let them be. As if we NEED a justification to kill these child-sex-slave traffickers.
Oh, and despite being a movie about Supergirl, it's more about Ruthye than anything else. I already don't care about Ruthye, and I went to see SUPERGIRL. Show me SUPERGIRL without this annoying and incompetent teenager getting in the way.
We need to stop acting like the reason people hate movies like Supergirl goes beyond some surface level bullshit. I loved seeing Supergirl kick ass and I am absolutely okay with seeing her kill the child-sex-slave trafficker. Some people say it goes against the message of the comic it's based on, but I also don't give a single shit because if they let the child-sex-slave trafficker LIVE for this "You shouldn't be as bad as him" bullshit message, the movie would have went from a four out of ten to a TWO. And that's a GENEROUS two!
Sometimes, despite having good intentions, a bad movie is just a bad movie. Seeing Supergirl beat the shit out of pedophiles is GREAT, but it doesn't erase the problems listed above. If you don't have these problems with the film, good for you. But you need to stop acting like that there's no other reason why people hate this movie other than they're misogynists who support pedophiles.
WE NEED. THIS SHIT. TO STOP.
