>Being a Kara fan is suffering
i know, cause this is the best one
>>
>>151632702
It's going to be a massive bomb anyway.
Even if the movie was 7/10 it would fail in the current environment where there is little mainstream interest in capeshit movies. The millennial redditor manchild capeshit obssessed consumer ecosystem of 2010s died and even kids nowadays don't care too much about this slop.
And it's going to be worse than a 7/10.
They coped Superman bombing with "it had good legs" and "it did alright for the start of a new franchise". I wonder what the copium for this be when it opens with sub 100 million.

>Worst Supergirl comics
Look I hate Tom King as much as the next guy, but this was his fluke. The fuck are you talking about? How is it bad?
>>
>>151632840
It had none of those things. It's a shitty remake of True Grit but with amazing art.
>>
>>151632702
At least it couldn't be any worse than the CW show, right?
>>
>>151633490
And that’s why it’s popular and got critical acclaim
>>
>>151632702
Tom King's writing is like that guy who used to write comics for Cracked.com (the one where too many words were crammed into every single panel) except King gets to pick from the best artists in the biz.

I'm sick of his guilty hero depression arc shit. If that's how he really feels after all this time the. Maybe we should just shut down the CIA. Actually, we should probably do that regardless of how they feel
>>
I'm so annoyed the shitty drunk partier Supergirl is gonna be big again.
>>
>>151634442
You’re annoyed that there exists a characterisation that actually resonates with people instead of her being bland, colourless girl version of Superman in a skirt?
>>
>>151634442
Did you actually read the comic?
She was drunk for only the first issue
>>
>>151632840
Don't even dare to compare WoTrash with PAD Supergirl, anything from the 80s run to nu52 is way better material to adapt, fuck even the silver age stuff.

>>151634076
On Tom King's hands you already know things will be worse.
>>
>>151632702
>Based on one of the worst supergirl comics
For you
>>
>>151633490
Nobody care about True Grit
>>
Everybody who defends drunk Kara was never a fan of the original character and wants her to be something different as seen here >>151634453
>>
>>151635212
PAD Supergirl isn’t Kara Zor-El though.
It’s a whole different animal.
>>
>>151635718
Drunk early twenty-something Supergirl is more relatable nowadays to zoomers and late millennials, the target audience.
>>
>>151635435
The critics and rage farmers online are going to rip it apart.

>>151635758
Drunk twenty something girl only works because it removes ALL accountability and looks funny. And the sexual aspects of it are infamously popular.

Drunk supergirl is an obnoxiously retarded idea with no real world ability to sell to normies.
Espescially with all of the metoo she feels guilty/will be caught/wants to destroy a guys life stuff going on.

It's a HORRIFYINGLY STUPID AND TONE DEAF idea.
>>
>>151635758
This makes me sad
>>
>manhunt story in space
>visit a planet
>get told they had just missed him and he's gone
>repeat this for the entire story
So dull. I don't understand how this could get praised. It's not bad, it's not great, just dull.

I’ve never been interested in Supergirl because she always seemed like just Superman with tits, but Woman of Tomorrow gave her her own personality and memorable story. I’m a fan now, though I don’t care for the comedic approach to the marketing of the movie. I would’ve gone for a more fantastical Star Wars-like approach instead
>>
Would she fuck a horse?
>>
>>151636404
Comet is in the film just like the comic.
And there will be horse cock jokes according to rumors.
>>
>>151635793
It makes sense.
She’s drunk because , unlike Clark, she lived on Krypton and mourns its destruction
>>
>>151636457
You don’t get it, she HAS to be a generic cardboard cutout of a character, just like Wonder Woman, because that’s the DC way
>>
>>151632840
Not a single comic in the modern era had any cultural impact or cultural relevance, especially not this one.
>>
>>151636499
So's she's Supergirl for people who hate Supergirl
>>
>>151636499
James Gunn is there now.
Kara will be hilariously over the top, endearing and have a character development.
I’m so ready.
>>
>>151635877
Being a drunken space whore who acts like a man...is how she deals with the death of her entire world.

Not staying on Earth and sticking close to CLark, the only other person she knows and her only family and being MORE then a little violently over protective and mamabear of her adoptive home.

Just...drunk space skank who LARPs as jeff bridges from true grit.
>>
>>151634097
>that's why it got popular
Did it?
>>
It's funny how Tom King is lying now and saying he wrote Supergirl as a drunk party girl and not as a sad CIA girl.
>>
>>151635435
>Nobody care about True Grit
A critically acclaimed novel that was made into two popular films
Why are you brown
>>
>>151632747
Is this the one where her and supes go back to her home planet? I really liked it, great art too
>>
>>151635718
> never a fan of the original character
SG is one of the most inconsistent characters ever
>>
>>151636647
Yeah so let's just confuse the character even further by adding to the inconsistency, brilliant idea
>>
>>151636647
No she isn't, you're just mistaking her Wikipedia page as a singular character arc.
>>
>>151636583
In the book I saw her as more of a Wolverine type of drinker, but less bitter and more melancholy. We’ll see tho. I hope it’s good. Sucks that it won’t have an original score but it is what it is. It must be cheaper to just use popular music than to hire a composer
>>
>>151636664
>>151636666
What I mean is that her personality is never consistent, sometimes she’s super lonley and depressed, other times shes a plain heroine, and like in JLU shes just a rebel teen. It’s not like SM or BM where their core personalities are consistent even with different versions, and if they aren’t consistent it’s pretty noticeable
>>
>>151636721
She's just super chick version of lobo...and....
Ah..I see.
>>
>>151636732
>What I mean is that her personality is never consistent
I know that's what you meant and I know that you're bullshitting people to excuse Tom King writing her out of character.
>>
>>151632702
why she gotta be so weird looking?
>>
>>151632905
it's just true grit in space
>>
>>151636877
Star Wars is just hamlet in soace
>>
>>151632905
Well the plot is so nonsensical we just have to assume the narrator is lying to us and the story we've been following has been falsified at key points.
>>
>>151636915
Not really.
>>
>>151632702
>starring ugly evil cunt
>>
>>151636877
So what. Who the fuck is praising it for its originality?
>>
>>151636510
Her brief cameo in Superman was enough to get a lot of people interested in the character for the first time
>>
>>151632702
they specifically made that comic to be adapted thats all tom king does he just wants to work in hollywood. Its so tiring.
>>
>>151636664
But this is being consistent with a specific comic run, you stupid cunt
>>
>>151637092
Yeah but that's not Tom King's Supergirl but James Gunn's Supergirl.
>>
>>151637118
It’s directly based on King’s comic and the film adaptation is getting plenty of people to check it out.
>>
>>151637140
>It’s directly based on King’s comic
It's not though.
>>
>>151637152
Okay dummy
>>
Ah, it's one of those threads where the OP is a disingenuous faggot who buries his head in the sand and denies facts, usually for some retarded political purpose. Many such cases.
>>
>>151637106
>"Although this character's personality has been inconsistent in the past, it's a bad idea to further derail the character continuing to pile on new shit instead of building on what worked before."
>"UH... but this adaptation is consistent with this comic run!"
This makes no sense as a response to what I posted. It's like you saw the word "consistent" and just laced that in with your shilling as a weak attempt at a comeback
>>
>>151637255
You’re creating consistency by popularising the specific comic book take and using synergy, dear mouth breather
>>
>>151637457
>You're creating consistency
I'M the one creating consistency? I'M the one popularizing WOT with this adaptation? Man I didn't know that, that's crazy
>>
>>151634097
>critical acclaim
huh? where?
