Supergirl flops at the box office

[Kaunisto]

This is what I wrote a year ago:

I just watched the new Superman. It was OK, but felt more like what you'd expect from ca. 2010 superhero TV series than a grand opening of a new film universe. I certainly don't like it when superhero films try hard to be edgy and do something unlike anything that has ever been done with the character (in other words do something that is barely recognisable as bastardized version of a beloved franchise), but Superman goes very far to the opposite extreme. This is right at home with the 4+1 old Superman movies and right next door to Man of Steel/DCEU also.
A superhero movie being generic and unimaginative isn't the worst option, but it's far from best too.


I haven't seen Supergirl and no doubt won't for years, but mostly based on the trailer, I'd say they gone to far too different direction as these were supposed to start a new universe. You have to have a coherent style.
Sure, MCU started bit shakily due the Hulk rights mess, but I still feel they were better on the same page.
