Krypto killing sex traffickers

This one time I got too high and sat down to watch an entire season of Krypton. I think I was about 2/3 through the season before I realized I hadn't seen Krypto yet inn a series about him.... I giggled and continued watching. Anywho, I totally agree they should option Krypto!

Krypto is based on James Gunn's misbehaving dog

It was a total waste. Now we have 2 people from Krypton on Earth. The only two. I expected a story about Clark and his hot blonde cousin working hard to repopulate their species. They don't even talk about it!

Like... come on. We all want to have sex with our hottest cousin. We don't because stupid society says it's wrong. But if we were the only two humans left so suddenly banging our hot cousin was something we had to do for the survival of the human race? Fucking JACKPOT.

What kind of a weirdo totally ignores the story we all want to see? It writes itself.

Yes

I think that's kind of the main issue with any character that has Superman-level powers, they're so OP that it sort of limits what you can do to keep the story interesting. You basically have:

• Try to make the powers irrelevant and embroil them in a complicated psychological/moral issue (great if it works but difficult to pull off and not especially visually interesting for a superhero movie.)

• Create an enemy with the same power level as them (then you just basically have two invincible characters bouncing off each other and smashing everything around them (visually interesting but essentially no stakes.)

• Have them lose their powers in some convoluted way and then get them back at the climax of the movie to do an ass-kicking scene (which seems to be the default.)

I think it's the same problem that The Boys TV show had - at first there was kind of a tension about them just being normal people and Homelander being so powerful that he could hear their heartbeats from half a mile away and level the entire city they were hiding in if he knew they were there, but the longer it went on the more preposterous it got that he hadn't just squished them yet. Especially when the show has them meet face-to-face multiple times and he either lets them go because reasons or they escape somehow.

I think the issue was more DC's power scaling issues. It's kinda hard to write a compelling story for Superman or Batman at their peak, because they are, for the most part, invincible and flawless according to DC. I suspect that her not having the ability to access her powers for 3/4 of the movie was an effort to make her seem like a Marvel superhero with flaws and relatability. Unfortunately, DC doesn't know how to do that, as Marvel doesn't even know how to do that consistently. Power creep is a real problem if you can't just magic away the hero's basic invulnerability.

This is one of the issues that Invincible tackled quite nicely at least until the end of season 2. I haven't gotten around to watching season 3.

and she recovered from the poison with yellow sun power, but the dog couldn't?

Maybe this would have been better written with ChapGPT.

No, it's Supergirl's dog, who is cute, then possibly dying, so they are non-sexy awws (either adorable or sadness awws, depending).

😂

Very ruff you say?

No. He is not the villain. He is just a bounty hunter.

BTW, I really liked Lobo in Man of Tomorrow, the animated film.

Of course we need the bad guy to win in todays world.

One could claim that was kinda the plot of The Boondock Saints, though that was a bit different.

More like, "ok these guys back each other up no matter the outcome." "They hooked up with a friend of their's that happens to be a low level package boy for the mob." "Aww. Kitty." "Holy fuck why did you accidentally kill the kitty‽" "Kill Russian mobsters until they don't have any influence in Boston anymore, and maybe branch out to other cities."

It was... fine. The action scenes were pretty dull, though. Seemed a strange choice for a second movie. If you're gonna have Supergirl as your second movie it really has to knock it out of the park. I mean guardians was after like 8 MCU movies or something.

Yep. That's the point. She is just a person who lost her parents and home, and is trying to make sense of her life.

Yeah that's the whole point of her character

I don't think you understand what a narcissist is. And in the story, in literally every story about Supergirl, her family, her friends, everyone she ever knew, died horribly in front of her and she ends up surviving. There is such a thing as survivors guilt and it is pretty brutal.

But hey, feel free to be pissed that it isn't a clone of the Superman movie but with a girl.

There's no way to have watched the movie and completely missed that her love for her dog is driving everything she does.

Wonder if people would have the same criticism if the character was a man instead lol

Men get so much more space to be antisocial than women do
