How do you rate Supergirl 2026?

Yep. Superman 2005 also had the usual "anti-woke" brigade against it. Didn't matter. The trailers were excellent and I couldn't wait to see it. I didn't have the same feeling for Supergirl. Her cameo appearance didn't exactly wow me and the trailers didn't give me that "can't wait to see it" vibe. That falls on marketing.

I had the same feeling. Her appearance in superman really turned me off to the character. She definitely doesn't think much or respect her cousin. I figured she wouldnt be so crass in her own movie than i saw the trailer. Lol
 
The poor box office…. Is this just super hero movie fatigue? Has the genre run its course?....
Depends on the character/ franchise.

I'm sure when Spider-Man Brand New Day premieres in August, it'll probably make very good box office and probably get close to if not over $1 billion dollars worldwide at the end of its run.
 
Of course, I think actors should be more circumspect in some of the things they say and should try to not deliberately offend people who might go see the move.
The alternative is to go back before MeToo when actresses were objectified, sexually abused, and banned from their profession if they didn't play along. All Milly said is people still feel they can make comments over others bodies. What she left out is that men are commented on like that too, but it doesn't dominate the conversation as much as it does women. There are pages of this thread discussing Milly's attractiveness, but I don't recall people discussing Corenswet the same way when Superman debuted.
 
It's totally outside the realm of possibility that the "Christian dads" stuff turned people off?
She didn't say "Christian Dads"--she referred to a specific type of social media user who uses the term "Christian dad" to describe themselves because using that term by itself, apparently without a photo, seems to be code for the specific type of misogynist that she is speaking out against.
 
Fair. I'm not one to care about sequels. I just want a good movie. And given how many Transformers films we got the box office is always weird anyway.

Transformers made huge money at the box office and they were mediocre movies at best. If that's the quality and style of film we need for a sequel then I politely say "no thank you".

Spider-Man is a brand in its own right at this point - which is why the current projections are an opening weekend of $228m. The ups and downs of the super hero genre seen to make no difference to it.
 
Yeah, I wasn't claiming that was an exact quote, but obviously the reference was not to one specific individual, so I added the s. I think it was sufficiently clear.

Imagine people thinking they can say what they want!
People feel they have ownership over women's bodies.
And, yes, just imagine people saying what they want??!!?? Which is the comment I was responding too.
 
Hollywood is violently allergic to any sort of straightforward and earnest (super)hero; it needs to taint shining beacons with insincerity, vulgarity and a myriad of other mundane vices, either because of its worship at the altar of "relatability" or because its own character is suspect (i.e., "No person is really that good, so no fictional person will be ether."). Perhaps a bit of both?

Given Gunn's Superman was the most upright and upstanding version of the character since Christopher Reeve and Richard Donner's interpretation, I'd say you need to update your data set.
 
I don’t completely disagree with Ragitsu; the obsession with putting blood on these characters’ hands is an example of a desire to sully them. But drinking or saying swear words is NBD, and it’s kind of pearl-clutchy to regard it as such.
 
It would've been interesting to see what that show/universe did with a Supergirl, whether she was played by Benoist or someone else. Especially when you factor in the super twins.
