Maybe if it was like the 7th or 8th movie in this franchise, not when they’re supposed to be setting up the major characters

>>154566012

Many reasons.
Biggest one is that it didn't cater to men. Superhero movies are watched mainly by a male audience and if you make any kind of superhero movie that doesn't cater to males, it needs to be VERY low budget or it has no chance of making its money back.

>>154566685

Because supergirl is lame. Just like she hulk and batgirl. Who was supergirl's target audience? Men weren't gonna watch this slop unless she was hot and in a skimpy little outfit and women don't give a fuck about capeshit. They tried to push it to lgbtq which is a tiny audience. Plus all the feminist themes and other culture war bullshit was a turn off. Once it gets entangled in that whole mess it's fucked. In the end men are your main audience and pissing them off is a bad thing

>>154566898
James Gunn and Zack Snyder can be bad directors for different reasons.

This. This is key. People hated Gunn's Superman. Some people mistakenly thought because it made money it was popular, but making money only shows how many people were willing to give it a chance. It doesn't show how they felt about it afterwards. There are no refunds when you buy a movie ticket.

Superman's failure killed all future Gunn DC movies. People were disappointed and won't give him any more second or third chances.

>>154566012
The lastest Superman wasn't even that good and making Supergirl seem like a stuck up drunk party girl isn't what people want. People want Superman and Supergirl to a lesser extent to inspire them. Nothing about Supergirl inspired anything other than to avoid it

Imagine what a dogshit feeling it has to be to wake up as a Gunntranny every day and defend movies like Supergirl.

Can't wait to see what quirky characters he'll force into Man of Tomorrow.

The executives clearly don't realize the halcyon days of superhero films are over.
They think audiences will turn out and see any random C-list superhero like they did for Thor or Captain America when those films came out in the 2000s.
They didn't realize that now, unless there is a very specific reason to go and a superhero movie, or it is of one of the most famous supeheroes out there - audiences won't see it.

But that of course is only part of it.
Supergirl is a shit movie that, despite being marketed at women and girls, only appeals to men.
There are no bright colors, no romance, nothing feminine at all about Supergirl '26.
The revenge plot, the darkness both visually and story-wise of the world, and the sci-fi mumbo jumbo really only appeal to men.

>>154567569
Pedoman didn't make that much money. Even MoS made more money without inflation. It's just that Gunnfags are dedicated and upper-class liberals liked the movie

I get that cape movies are going the way of the gangster or western picture, but for a universe that's supposed to be chock full of memorable villains, some rando space pirates?why not make Lobo a main antagonist? that woulda simplified so much.

>>154566109
I think Gunn is using his platform as head of DC Studios to glorify his own ego rather than build anything that will last.
If Gunn gave a shit about the thousands of people whose jobs are dependent on his cinematic universe working, he would have rushed out a Wonder Woman or Batman movie second to make sure that there would be strong legs to this project. (hell, even another Aquaman movie would have been a better idea)

But instead he greenlit a movie which is essentially poorly aping Gunn's bit. It's a shit version of Guardians of the Galaxy starring Gunn's personal envisioning of Supergirl.
So far instead of making a cinematic Universe, Gunn is looking to essentially make a Superman trilogy made to his personal idiosyncratic preferences

>>154566815
No, a sidekick tags along with the main hero on adventures, Supergirl is just a girl variant of Superman.
It's like how Superboy also isn't Superman's sidekick. Or how Spider-Woman isn't actually connected to Spider-Man.

If anything, the closest to a sidekick Superman has is Jimmy Olsen

>>154566406
What are you talking about?

>People didn't see it because the trailer was bland and it got bad review ls, not because it's a female hero.
OMG you leftists are so disengenuous why don't you admit that no one wanted a fat ugly woman?
>People didn't see it because of misogyny. They couldn't stand a female hero.
Damn you leftists call everything sexist. Can't you just accept it was a bad movie.

>>154566548
Supergirl would have to be a family animated film geard towards girls if it ever were to make money as a movie.
Supergirl just isn't popular enough as a character to get general audiences to watch it, and the fact that she is super'girl' inherently means adult women and some men are less interested in seeing it. Superhero movies, generic ones like Supergirl anyway, are essentially power fantasies. And men aren't keen on fantasizing themselves as a girl.
Meanwhile women would much prefer something which seemed as mature as them.

So a Supergirl movie should have actually been made for girls

>>154566695
Wonder Woman and Aquaman were majority watched by women.
I think that women can watch a superhero movie as long as it has stuff women like in movies. Romance, hot guys, and so on.
Even if it isn't their first choice, those things make women more willing to go on dates with their boyfriends and husbands to see them.

Supergirl was a very male-centered movie with nothing stereotypically girly about it at all.

>>154566406
>these obviously true reasons can't really be true because they're so obvious
Anon, cmon man...

>>154567537
Did you think the only problem with the movie was that Supergirl wasn't hot!?
Nigger, the movie sucked. It sucked and starred a character people had no interest in seeing.

I'll tell you, if this movie had a generically good girl Kara Zor-El, it would have done even worse.
Because the one thing this movie had going for it was that audiences thought Kara from Superman '25 was kinda neat.

>>154567008
Batgirl and She Hulk are awesome in the comics.
Same with Supergirl.
Though the amount of mainstream appeal they'd have is questionable.

>>154567863
Supergirl was bizarrely based off of the Woman of Tomorrow comic.
A comic which had a very generic plot mostly revolving around these two characters who've never shown up before or since, Ruthye and Krem. The comic is partially saved by having great art and a few fun action scenes.

Both of the comics strengths were not adapted into the movie at all. With the action scenes like Supergirl fighting a space dragon, Ruthye having to fight off killer dinosaurs on the green sun planet until sunset, or Supergirl outrunning a magic orb on Komet the Superhorse, escaping the universe insodoing - all cut for fighting generic space pirates.

So they adapted a book just to use it's boring plot and boring characters and waste an opportunity to actually use characters people would want to see.

Why did they do this?
Well Tom King, the writer of the Woman of Tomorrow comic, is Gunn's personal friend and adviser to the comics side of things. I guess he shilled his own book and Gunn wanted to use that version of Supergirl?

>>154566012

I feel the youtube culture war channels are essentially just Fox News for people who aren't serious enough to actually just watch the news.

It's just a constant stream of pretending everything that comes out is woke, or hiperfixating on anything possible just to complain about it.
The He-Man movie that came out was called woke despite that movie being apolitical with a core theme about the virtues and importance of traditional masculinity.

Also these people need to learn that no one watches nor cares about actor interviews and the press tour except for them
Remember when they tried to pretend Superman 25 was woke because Gunn said Superman was an immigrant?

How disingenuous.

Counter point, maybe don’t sling shit at someone if you don’t want them mentioning it.

>>154570589
Who slung shit at her?

>>154568597
Yeah, people like superman, they would have liked supergirl as well if she was a fun character in a fun movie

>>154566012
I just watched it today with my daughter. It was a good film for the first half but sort of fell apart toward the end.

>>154570604
How disingenuous

>>154570604
Dean Cain ironically enough

>>154570604
Megyn Kelly

>>154568936
NTA, but it's the name given to every left-wing talking point that's popular today. Pretending the term is made-up or not applicable is disingenuous.

>>154568024

A catch-all ideology where every issue is filtered through identity politics, oppression narratives, and moral grandstanding. It treats activism as virtue, disagreement as bigotry, and demands that media, corporations, and institutions push a prescribed social message. Critics use it to describe a worldview that prioritizes symbolism over substance and enforces conformity through social pressure.

Basically

Answer the question.

>>154566012
It didn't look appealing to normies so they didn't go see it. I had no real issues with the trailers but it should've been designed to bring in people who aren't familiar with Kara as a character. And if you're going with an unknown actress for the title role then you need a director people know and like. Trailers should be made with the following premise in mind: Assume audiences know nothing about the character and it's your job to sell them and their story to the audience.

She's hot enough for IRL standards. But mid for Hollywood.

because he's fucking spider-man

>>154570951
Well done. That's one of the best definitions of woke that I've seen. I'll be stealing this.

so are video game movies the new trend for hollywood now that capeshit is dying?

>>154566012
The movie was doomed by the first impression.

She literally staggered in drunk as a skunk at the end of her cousin's movie, looking like the kind of woman that even people who normally go "I can fix her!" steer clear of. Who wants to watch a character like that? It could have been Wonder Woman, Batman, anyone you please who was introduced that way and the ensuing movie would have failed.

Normies don't want to watch an alcoholic skank with no charm, DC fans don't want to watch this imposter in Kara's costume, and good parents don't want to risk their kids thinking this character is a good role model.

>>154566012
Dude. Seriously. Who is this James Gunn guy. Why do they keep betting money on him. What has he ever achieved?

>>154566476
Football.

>Superman movie
>Batman movie
>World's Finest crossover
There's your successful DCU launch, would that have been so fucking hard? You could even play up the angle of doing a non-shit version of whatever Snyder was trying to do.

>>154571370
And in the long-run, they were proven right. The MCU was just a trend but Spidey is loved forever.

>>154570951
You got a source for that or did you just pull it out of your ass?

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

>>154566012
It was based on the worse Supergirl comic possible.

>>154571437
>Batman movie
The Batman Part 2 comes out next year and that's a separate universe

>>154571466
Retard lmao

A lot of female-led capeshit is off-putting to both men and women. This, Madam Web, Birds of Prey, Captain Marvel, The Marvels, and Black Widow all had majority male audiences. We've been constantly told that these are movies for women. Most of them have female creative crews. Many of them had marketing campaigns that played up feminism, etc. yet the people turning out for them aren't women. Worse off, this stuff clearly doesn't play well with men given Supergirl is likely to gross less than poorly reviewed, literally who characters like Blue Beetle and Shazam. They're making really expensive movies that appeal to nobody. Too desexed surrounded by divisive politics for chuds. Too dull and masculine for women.

It's pretty funny if you think about it. Marvel Rising and DC Super Hero Girls were meant specifically to get young girls into capeshit. We're far enough removed that those girls are now teenagers and young adults. What's the implication here? Those outreach campaigns completely failed or are these films so unappealing that audience snubbed it?

(The first Wonder Woman is the only modern female-led capeshit I've seen where the audience was (slightly) majority female. That was clearly some catharsis for all the feminists who demanded female capeshit for a decade. They got their fill and never came back. I wasn't able to find the gender ratio for WW84, but that was a flop anyway.)

>>154570951
More like basic knowledge of history and civics, co-opted and overshadowed by a white culture of empty signaling.

>>154568495
>The He-Man movie that came out was called woke despite that movie being apolitical

>>Multiple black and brownwashed characters, director constantly talking about toxic masculinity in interviews
>>>Not woke

The movie itself might not have been openly antagonistic, but the nose knows. It probably would've flopped regardless (He-Man clearly isn't a multi-generational IP) but you'd probably have the Alita-copers running a shill campaign for a sequel.

>>154571675
>Those outreach campaigns completely failed or are these films so unappealing that audience snubbed it?
IDK if the campaigns failed or no, but let's imagine the best case scenario and say that lots of girls who watched DCSHG became lifelong Supergirl fans. Is such a girl going to want this version of Supergirl? Probably not. She might even be a bit angry about getting this instead of something more like the character she fell in love with.

>>154571675
>The first Wonder Woman is the only modern female-led capeshit I've seen where the audience was (slightly) majority female. That was clearly some catharsis for all the feminists who demanded female capeshit for a decade
We had Catwoman and Elektra already. And Supergirl in the 80s.

>>154571824
Yeah. Now take this ideal and apply it to the entire DCU and you get the idea why it's already failed.

>>154566389
You sound upset.

>>154566012
James Gunn needs to stop adapting Tom King’s shit comics. His obsession with Tom King is embarrassing.

>>154566012
Because no one cares about Superman.

Also Gunn is a one trick pony that can only do GotG variants.

Also DC is shit except for Batman.

>>154566461
They also watch a lot of garbage (particularly Jane) and even they stayed away from this lox

>>154568842
And the movie bombed. I’m sure WB is very happy with the outcome huh? Blowing millions of dollars to own the chuds is very lucrative.

Its called football.

>>154566755
It did extremely well

>>154566050
Indeed, the target audience was women over 15 but under 30. Who don't watch films anyway because they'd rather be doing what Kara was doing.

>>154566012
While i like Supergirl and read most of her runs, the movie didnt really look that good nor interesting.
Im sure its a serviceable movie but i'd rather wait and watch it at home than on the cinemas.

>>154574364
I can’t find something like this hot unless one of them has a cock

>>154568858
So a deadbeat alcoholic black dad is... woke?

>>154568427
This meme isn't really true. All the DCucks went to see Supergirl. It was general moviegoers (ie women) who didn't.

>>154566012
Superman will always be boring.
Superman but as a girl is just as boring.
This trash was straight up annoying.
We don't need a DC Universe in cinemas, we need a Batman universe.

>>154575734
>Superman will always be boring
And the nerds who like him always get cheated on because they're so boring and predictable.
