Supergirl just killed the DCU..

Overview of the Discussion

The subtitles discuss the apparent failure and critical backlash surrounding the Supergirl movie. Commentary claims the film is “floundering,” citing low ticket sales and very poor reviews, including Rotten Tomatoes around 59%, and describing it as a movie with a “worst script.”

Key Criticisms

Screenplay and Writing Quality

A major criticism centers on the screenplay and overall writing quality. One contributor argues that the writer’s limited prior experience—noted as mostly short films—may be tied to the film’s perceived problems. The speaker also expresses skepticism about how the same writer is connected to future DC projects, such as Wonder Woman and Teen Titans.

Pride Month / LGBT Representation and Narrative Focus

There’s also a debate about the film’s Pride Month/LGBT representation and how it impacts the story. The Supergirl actress emphasizes that the character is a strong, messy, resilient “modern woman” and that the film doesn’t center on romance.

In response, another speaker argues that the movie’s focus on identity politics/intersectionality allegedly overrides narrative storytelling. The criticism claims characters may not be allowed to make believable mistakes, resulting in “unearned success” and a story that feels forced rather than earned through character growth.

Audience and Backlash Interpretation

The discussion suggests audiences may not be participating in an organized boycott. One commenter also implies that earlier controversy comparisons (such as remarks by other actors about who the films are “for”) don’t matter much because most people don’t know enough about the movie yet.

Some praise is mentioned as well—though limited—indicating that Lobo (and the “main male actor”) is viewed as the best part.
