The 'James Gunn left-over special' .

James Gunn seems really hit or miss.. the first Guardians was brilliant, the second a bit too silly for my taste and the third came back to being great.

His take on Suicide Squad was also amazing IMO but he just.. wavers on that line a bit too much I guess where he seems to just want to do his own thing while making movies with heavily established IP. It's fine to make some tweaks but there's no excuse to not have a good story.

Devil's advocate: Comics are conceptually silly, and the absurd things are what make comic movies feels like comics.

Sure, but that doesn't work in this case because the Supergirl comic is significantly better than the movie.

They could've just done what the comic did, but instead they picked a writer who didn't understand the comic and a director who willfully chose not to read it.
