The online manosphere was attacking this movie online well before it was ever released in theaters. Feels like there is probably significant crossover with the people who bemoaned Barbie & The Little Mermaid. It's an action packed movie with a lot of heart. If this same plot was a Superman movie the dude-bros would be praising it... Don't listen to the chatter. Embrace your individuality and check it out for yourself.

I have to confess I came to "Supergirl" expecting not a lot. General reviews online and on YouTube have, for the most part, not been positive. Starting with the negatives, yes, there's a dash of woke nonsense. That said, it's not overdone, although I strongly feel any and all films are better off without it. On the upside, this is quite an enjoyable romp. The main character of Supergirl is likeably dysfunctional and quirky, traits that follow through in the story and other characterisations. This isn't the "saccharine superman" franchise; it's the grunge, cyberpunk edition. Everyone's a little weird, and it works really, really well. Pacing is on the mark too, with action that's colourful, at times gutterally violent, frenetic and oddly fun. On the subject of which, this film has a sense of humour. It's often rather trashy, but given how this film is presented, it complements it comfortably. In summary, I liked "Supergirl". There, I've said it. It's fun, eccentric in a good way and downright entertaining. Yes, there's a little woke bullshit, but it's more an insignificant bystander with a small placard than some provoking attention-seeking idiot with a massive neon sign, if that makes sense. Worth a look.

Dare I say, that by the end of Supergirl, I kinda enjoyed it more than Spider Man: Brand New Day, for one main reason: **\[SPOILERS AHEAD FOR SUPERGIRL, SPIDER MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, AND DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN S02\]:** After all the philosophical "killing him won't bring your family back" BS, Kara kills the villain. She left a bunch of the others alive, but she killed the main villain. Thank !@#$! *Compared to Brand New Day allowing a child killer to get away so he can return in an X-Men sequel, where he'll probably kill some more kids and get away with it too.* Real life is imitating dystopian fiction a little too much these days. I don't need my fictional escapes being as incompetent as real life. Either the villain wins the day, or they get !@#$ed. That's the bar. No more "he's free but he has no power, and that's worse for him than being imprisoned" philosophical BS. That being said, I need to re-watch this to nitpick my issues with it, but one of them was certainly the pointlessness of Lobo being in this movie. P.S. Is it too much to ask that the anti-wokies spell out what their !@#$ing problems are? Is it: 1. The black folks. 2. The Asian sidekick. 3. The super-powered female lead. 4. The girl-power soundtrack. 5. The portrayal of human trafficking and sexual abuse. 6. The Asian sidekick asking the super-powered female lead why she calls herself "girl" instead of "woman". 7. Are the female lead's breasts and backside not big enough? 8. Is the female lead's skirt not short enough? 9. Is the female lead not AI/E-Girl pretty enough? 10. Et cetera. Spell out ya !@#$in' problems, man! Use ya !@#$in' words! Articulate, MOFO!
