DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

It’s clear they want to evoke Guardians of the Galaxy. But differences are inherent in the two premises alone. That was about a human male who was raised in space and has adventures with a group of aliens. She is a female alien who is one of the few survivors of her species. She is the primary lead and title character. That is just a start of the differences.
 
I guess the core problem is using one of the most overrated comics of the last decade from one of the worst writers in mainstream comics to make a movie with one of the worst versions of Supergirl.

You are certainly allowed your opinion. It is a minority opinion, but it is still a legitimate one. For my part, the worst Supergirl was Byrne's Matrix Supergirl.

I really like King's story. It starts off with Supergirl in a dark place and is about her remembering what it means to be a hero. Like your criticism of Billy Batson about a decade ago, the parts of the character that you don't like are just a starting point on a journey that ends with the character being completely different. Super-heroes need to go on personal journeys, just like any other character. The one thing King did that pissed me off was when created that PTSD clinic for super-heroes story.
