Genuinely don’t understand the reviews #supergirl is getting, that shit was so fucking good
English
@NoLuckLugia i’m not saying 1:1 adaptations can’t be successful. they totally can, but that story has been told before. i’m aware most of this is opinion based. you have the comic, enjoy it, read it again, the movie is a different story.
English
@DeanBeyerr i mean everything youve been talking about is your opinion also not objective
turning a comic book into a screenplay isn’t super easy so i think someone might find that a fun challenge
invincible for example is almost 1:1 to the comic and its perfectly fine and popular
English
it is an adaptation, it is not a shot for shot retelling in live action. no other comic book movie has been expected to do the story the exact same so i’m not sure why that criticism is reserved for supergirl.
🗡️Ed🗡️ Commissions Open✌️@NoLuckLugia
there was no reason to change anything about the comic for the film these two pages mog the whole movie and i say that as someone who did not hate the supergirl movie
English
@NoLuckLugia it is your opinion yes. i’m not sure why you essentially just want the exact same story again but whatevs. i doubt that’d be inspiring for the screenwriters but i guess that doesn’t matter. adapting and changing stories gives fresh and invigorating takes.
English
@DeanBeyerr i mean its just my opinion at the end of the day lol
personally i want to see the comics i like adapted in the version of the story i like
i hope super girl does well though i’d like to see her character again
English
I hate Incels and snyderverse cultist as much as the next guy but like this movie was just good. It missed the mark on some things and the source material is right there. To say everyone who didn’t enjoy it is some woman hating person is weird

‘SUPERGIRL’ is getting review bombed on IMDb!

dc’s ability to drive online chatter but never translate it to the box office is so upsetting. supergirl deserves better. it is a great film.

Look Out. 2026.

@NoLuckLugia the only one that actually received true hate was gorr’s story but that’s just cuz the comic is great and the movies shit. supergirl is a good movie based on a good comic.
English
@DeanBeyerr i think a lot of people had complaints about avengers end game etc for not following infinity gauntlet and same with Gorr’s character being butchered ( pun intended ). im not saying the movie should have followed the comic 1:1 im saying the comics moments were better.
English
@NoLuckLugia you can like them better but saying they’re objectively better in the way you just did is not correct by any metric. it is an adaptation. i will never ever want these stories to be done shot for shot. i will already know what happens and how it’s going to end. i want new ideas
English
@NoLuckLugia other comic book movies have taken certain visuals and ideas from the books as well but almost entirely changed the storyline (captain america civil war, infinity war, etc). those films were never criticized for changing anything. these stories are being told through new people
English
@DeanBeyerr i liked the movie bro i was at the world premiere lol it just doesnt make sense to change something so powerful in the way they did
English
@NoLuckLugia i think it makes perfect sense. that guy was an evil monster and no special prison was established in universe to lock him up. it was the cleanest way to end the film with no loose ends and an epilogue doesn’t work when you want stakes for your characters going forward.
English
@NoLuckLugia because it’s BASED on the comic😭. we can’t lie and act like there aren’t elements there. it certainly has many of the same themes and ideas. it changed a few things and has a distinct visual identity, but the comic is still very much the basis for the film.
English
@DeanBeyerr you can adapt the story and make it new but just doesnt make sense to have the comic and comic art involved in a lot of the main promotion for the film. the comics author was even at the world premiere talking about it lol. they literally plastered the comic cover everywhere.

It's gonna make $200m or so, if that.
It's definitely not perfect but its not THIS bad - deserves a LOT better. A film of this quality should be making $300m - $325m in my view.
Variety has destroyed this movie.
Film Updates@FilmUpdates
‘SUPERGIRL’ debuted with $38M domestically, and $68M at the worldwide box office in its opening weekend. It cost $170M to produce.
English
i’m also very tired of people’s mentality regarding comic accuracy and simply not liking something because it’s a change. these stories should never be adapted 1 for 1. they are a basis for creatives to use as a guideline. “not comics accurate” is just a stupid criticism
kaelyn@SPlDERTORCH
y'all are nitpicking the fuck out of supergirl and putting people off of seeing it but when it doesn't turn a profit and that in turn hurts the chance of future movies being made, you're going to bitch that nobody went and saw it in the theater. makes 0 sense to me
English
I’m actually debating if i should go to the theater to say i watched the last movie ever made about this character
DiscussingFilm@DiscussingFilm
‘SUPERGIRL’ opens with $38M domestically. • Lower opening weekend than ‘Morbius’ and ‘The Marvels’. Read our review: bit.ly/SupergirlDF

1. ppl need to stop caring so much about comic accuracy. these stories are being used as influences, they should not be 1 to 1 remakes.
2. no live action film will look like professionally made comic panels with cartoonishly vivid colors, and that’s perfectly okay!
Corey Atad@CoreyAtad
haven't read the comic or seen the movie, but this is a crime
English
@Paliza @luthorsrojas most real world villains don’t have a “motive.” the type of villain he is (a human trafficker) is just a piece of shit scum of the earth kind of person. if the villain was the focus of the story i’d understand the criticism but he was not. he was barely in it.
English
@luthorsrojas I gave it a 6.5. I wish the villain had some type of motive for being evil, not just being evil. I think lobo wasn’t a complex enough character. Ruthye was annoying and gave nothing to the story. The 2 parents and the daughter shouldn’t have died like that. There was no impact.
English
It’s not a 1 and if we’re gonna act like it is then I’m going to act like it’s a 10
