What Movie Should We Do Next?
We rate Supergirl across acting, cinematography, score, plot, and rewatchability, then land on why the movie feels like a stack of missed chances instead of a character-driven breakout. We also call out how misogyny poisons the conversation while still insisting the writing has to earn its moral message.
• our three-part review method and what we are taking beforehand
• budget and marketing shock compared with what lands onscreen
• the plot setup with Kara, Ruthie, Krypto’s 72-hour timer, and Lobo
• acting takes on Millie Alcock, Jason Momoa, and the side cast
• cinematography highs including the intergalactic bus and truck stop
• score choices that either fit the character or break immersion
• plot problems with the ticking clock and a thin villain motivation
• the culture war problem and why it muddies real film criticism
• world building lessons from The Fifth Element and Chekhov’s gun limits
• the revenge morality that collapses under its own logic
• how we would rewrite Supergirl around trauma, therapy, and consequences
Listen to all our other stuff too. Yeah, just go down the list.
