I'm not understanding this push to say she is ugly.
This board would've lost their shite during the reign of Bette Davis.

but if you want the franchise to hit you have to get the big 3 correct and lead with them. Batman I can understand because there’s another Batman happening at the same time that’s actually made money. He wanted to kill it but it was successful so he couldn’t. Still could’ve done Wonder Woman and Green lantern while teasing his Batman but his choices seemed more about what he likes than what would sell.


They really just need to take a long break from trying to make a DC movie universe happen.

How many iterations of these characters do we need in a 20 year period?

Since 2005 we've had three Batmans (Batmen?), three Supermans, three Jokers, and three Lex Luthors. And this isn't including TV shows.

It all feels so haphazard, especially compared to Marvel up to Avengers Endgame.

Improve the characters and people will enjoy them regardless of male or female. Hollywood is ruining female heroes by doing stupid shite like they did in Avengers Endgame when they, for no purpose towards the plot, have all the females gather at one time and make a point that they are women and they won’t be stopped.

Captain Marvel was one of my favorite marvel movies, but they never followed it up with anything good.

That scene was so freaking cringe, but they knew they could get away with it in a film as big as Endgame

The older she got the more she actually did look like an insect or Lorre in drag.

I've seen tons of random accounts stating the test screenings were good.


IIRC, WB tried pushing the same line with the Flash movie when it was a car crash on multiple levels because they wanted to try and recoup some of their costs.

Marilyn Monroe would be called a porker on the OT

Speaking of eye shite, The one reason I thought Halle Bailey was a good Ariel, is because her eyes are almost on the side of her head, like a fish

Has any of these films, where they know it is bad going in, so they go out and preemptively attack the fans, play the victim card, etc., ever (and I mean ever) turned out to be a pleasant surprise/minor (or greater) hit?

Rumored they have tested 3 endings with 8 focus groups.

She knows the movie is going to be a disaster so she is trying to blame the fan base before the fricking movie is even released.

This is SUPERGIRL.

She can't blame misogynistic mean internet troll men because this wasn't a gender swap. SUPERGIRL.

She knows this is a shite movie and she thinks she is deflecting the reason it is going to suck to mean old white men instead of a shitty script but all she is doing is guaranteeing even fewer people see it opening weekend.
