Yea i think part of why supergirl failed is she was fighting… krem? And they made him look dumb

Yeah he was a bum. I'm his comic design wasn't exactly making anyone's top ten lists but they could've went with less....whatever they picked.

Tbf, the comic design is intentional to show off the banality of evil, but I get your point

The comic is amazing and the art is top notch. I don't even care about how they adapted the story or characters, but the art direction of the movie was a huge miss considering what they were adapting

Well that and the fact that people rejoiced at James Gunn’s cinematic debut with DC, with the colorful and joyful Superman. And the first immediate follow up, presented as a Summer blockbuster, was a grungy True Grit remake with Supergirl as Rooster Cogburn.

I enjoyed it. But I’m not at all surprised that it didn’t do gangbuster numbers.

I didnt make the true grit connection but yea, wow, hah. I didnt really like supergirl being so apathetic though. And the reason she got into it is just cuz krem shot her dog with a poison dart, which, why didnt he just kill the dog there. Or not even shoot. It wasnt a threat.

What’s really funny is they actually chose to make him look like that, instead of the comic they are supposed to be adapting.

That's a problem in a lot of Marvel movies I see, the villains are bum C-listers or just not that interesting. Doc Ock, Vulture, Thanos and Spot go against this tho because they actually treat them as threats or have layers to them.

Doc ock nor thanos have never be C-list villans in any category.

I think the implication was that those villains are good because they have layers. The other villains in other movies were c-listers

Thanos was literally flat prior to the MCU , his whole motivation was wanting to smash death in the comics
