Besmirching Christian dads is a stupid PR move.

This tactics is getting tiring. It’s played out. At this point, whenever I hear this or see that particular headline, I assume the movie is dogshit. Because this is always the “let’s get ahead of it…” move to pre-heat the scapegoat. Which is sad because I was looking forward to this. But, unfortunately, voting with our money is the only way to correct this behavior. Hopefully anyway.

You are getting me fired up today Roger lol. In DC Comics lore, Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) is typically a teenager, usually 15–16 years old when she first arrives on Earth. I guess they had to find someone to hate (christian dads) for pointing out she is a college aged super hero drunk in this film, per the trailers. They must feel that she is a better role model for little girls then christian dads.

@AVARY Roger, who is the dumbest A-list movie star you've ever encountered...?

@AVARY she did nothing of the sort, but you know. she said these rabid comments all appearing at once on social media about her physical appearance etc largely seem to be from burner accounts and weirdos who have "christian dad" etc in their bios. that's true, also the earth is round.

@AVARY I don't agree with 90% of the dumb Supergirl whining, but I have to agree here. I don't know why studios can't get their stars to just shut the fuck up before a movie is released. Especially one this important to the studio's future.

@AVARY @grok how many christian dads are there in the United States, just ball park it.

@AVARY Studio PR running the Rachel Weisz playbook for this one. Blame the actress' big mouth!

Obviously, insulting any portion of your audience is a dumb thing to do. But who's to blame here? Is it the actress? Or is it an agent/manager/producer telling her to say these things. I'm sure if they told her where a MAGA shirt, she wouldn't hesitate. I have to imagine someone is coaching her on this and the putting words in her mouth. This is a massive movie with millions of dollars behind it.

@AVARY Facts. Although, to be honest, I already had zero interest in this one (or James Gunn's DCU as a whole) so it didn't really affect me much. I already wasn't seeing the movie.

@AVARY It's unnecessary and self-inflicted. It's simple: unless you have something nice to say about … the film, your co-stars, the director, the fans … just shut up. It's not difficult.

@AVARY It's obvious these projects are designed to fail. If you're into the whole "follow the money" thing, it's a fund called ESG that some reports suggest makes up 25% of global capital. It subsidizes corporate losses in order to promote social change. Hence why they don't try.

@AVARY Christian dads are the softest demographic when it comes to crying about movies.. and apparently the least likely to actually read the article before getting triggered lol

@AVARY I don’t understand why the studios aren’t forcing these people to STFU until after the movies are released? They force them to be quiet on upcoming projects and what not, I would think telling them “Just talk good things about the movie” would be standard practice.

@AVARY I mean, that's not at all what she did. You could actually read the article, rather than the disingenuous clickbait headline.

@AVARY Another failed casting mistake and another movie that will tank now. They’ll never learn.

@AVARY Not really. If your a Christian dad you’d pray for her, hit your wife, molest a child or a family member then shut the fuck up.

@AVARY I could be wrong but I'm guessing this is misleading. She probably just meant she finds it funny when someone who declares themself a Christian in their profile is trolling her with such hostility? As in, they come at her in an un-Christian manner?

@AVARY I guess no one told her Christian dads are the ones who take their families to Superman movies

@AVARY CINO: Christian In Name Only

@AVARY It’s something that started in the mid 10’s where marketing for certain movies, tv shows, books, games, etc, became “These people will hate this and we hate them back”… like even if you’re making art to piss people off, maybe at least try to trick them into watching it.

@AVARY So? Christian dad's spend a lot of time telling women and girls how they act according to their "traditional" views. They can get fucked

@AVARY What is with the persistent mockery of Christianity coming out of Hollywood for the last 30 years

@AVARY Well to be fair, the number one oppressive force against the free expression in cinema before Me Too were nutty Christians.

@AVARY At least she didn’t go after Muslim or Jewish dad’s or else she’d be in so much Dutch right now.

@AVARY People should read the actual quote

@AVARY Why does anyone think trashing a demographic is good PR? Be it religion, gender, sexuality, race…. Why do they lead into negativity?

@AVARY Especially for a movie that’s a metaphor for Jesus

@AVARY She seems to be mocking burner accounts claiming to be something they are not.

@AVARY Are the PR people asleep at the wheel at WB? Or they just don't care?

@AVARY It’s like the opposite of Man of Steel’s PR which went deep in on Christianity promo lol

@AVARY Studio execs every time an actor opens their mouth before a release

I have been looking forward to this movie so much! But its so annoying she is doing exactly what Larson did before The Marvels came out and that woke idiot did before Sbow White and they both sabotaged themselves and their very expensive movies long term financial outlook by shitting all over half the prospective customer base before anyone even sees the movie yet!! Listen to the GOAT Jordan said when asked saying “ Of course. Republicans buy sneakers too” and embrace all sides.
