re: Things Have Gone From Bad To Worse For Supergirl At The Box Office

James Gunn is perv. I'm glad it flopped. Hollywood has no feel for what the audiences want to see. Marvel and DC stuff is played out I think. I've never been interested in any of it. I would watch the individual movies like IronMan or Spiderman, but even at that I'm not racing to the theaters for them. Just not that interested in them. But I'm 50 so that is not their target either.
But they can't come up with anything new or anything that a large swath of the audiences want to see. Not too mention they have to make a woman version of everything. Nobody cares about that but hollywood.

Spider-Man is tracking very well from what I’ve heard.
Bad hero movies are the problem.

Was anybody else alive in the 1980s when a Supergirl movie was made? It bombed then too. Nobody is interested in a Supergirl movie.

Gunn fans who went to the mat defending the film, when they see a new Supergirl thread:

watching Helen Slater play Supergirl on a VHS that my mom rented from Randall's by my house is probably my very earliest and first memory of seeing a woman and being like "whoa, i am definitely into whatever this is".

That's worldwide box office so it's basically tanked in every country in the world.

Other than the Guardians of the Galaxy run, Gunn makes terrible movies.

The super hero fatigue is real.
The conventional stuff, yes.
There are outliers like The Joker and The Batman.
I think Marvel ruined us on all the quippy dialog and the waxy low stakes CGI.
Gunn's Superman was EXACTLY like all of that.
Only think I've enjoyed lately were the two movies noted above.

James Gunn is so obsessed with obscure characters no one gives a shite about.
Posted on 7/8/26 at 11:53 am to Major Dutch Schaefer
As a reminder - Gunn said they went with this one next (not worried about any single character) based on the quality of the script.
Ergo, he must have believed this was the cream of the crop.

Spider-Man is just s freaking machine that no one can compete with. Presales are trending well over 200 mil opening weekend

And there won’t be any repercussions from the studios on Alcock for opening her cock holster and bashing white men on the press tour for this film
She tanked it, good for her. She got what she wanted and no men are going to see her awful movie

I agree that Hollywood is clueless. You mention the MCU and Iron Man; I would say the first Iron Man was fantastic. It actually WAS exactly what we wanted:
Tony Stark, the brilliant billionaire genius hero, was not miserable. He was happy, he partied, he rocked AC/DC. He loved double cheeseburgers and hot women, hot rods, etc.
That's why the MCU took off.
They had hit the formula almost by accident, and couldn't stick to it.
