[01:45] be and 100% wants me to know about it. This shot proves that Kara and Crypto don't need no Superman, but will for some reason still carry an expositional copy of a newspaper on board their ship to keep tabs on him. Unnecessarily

[01:57] recasting a popular and familiar narrator, I mean character, with a non-American after 10 years of Jeremy, I mean Melissa Benoist, doing a perfectly fantastic job the whole time. Between this and Superman, Crypto is rapidly

[02:09] becoming the DCEU's Hugh Jackman. By that, I mean the adorable being that's 90% CG who they parade around every time the desire to bank some audience would have worked out that Kara was living the sloppy life of a couldn't

[02:48] your mouth germs. >> Brilliant. They've come for my swords. I >> Director's note for this line delivery being expositionally. Also, if it was only a matter of time, why haven't you prepared for it? Like, I don't know,

[03:02] fancy swords you've made. >> We give them what they want, and then about the people on this planet, it's that they do not watch movies. This is some kind of voice box modulator tech thing. But, it's weird that we

[03:17] never find out if it's a case of space translation, space cancer, or to hide the fact that he actually sounds like a minion. >> Also, the bold choice that is naming your big bad BDSM Barry. I have no

[03:32] than his entire face and aesthetic leaving no other logical options. >> The whole eating your victim's food in their own home thing is meant to be intimidating. But, all it does is remind me of Christoph Waltz mastering the form

[03:45] with strudel. And how every other movie should just replay that scene instead of >> My life's work, all in the shed out back. >> Your entire life's work? Why is he just storing his entire life's work in a shed

[06:18] just a particular species she doesn't like? Or is Kara fine with 13-year-olds doesn't have to watch? >> Who would steal from a little kid who >> But that makes her the perfect person to steal from. She's not going to put up a

[06:31] call her parents, that's what. >> And look, I'm bleeding. >> Since we know she can bleed, I'd love to also know how this spiky mace staff thing swiped out her leg in a way that didn't also cut the [ __ ] out of it at

[06:43] the same time. Kara said she doesn't have her powers. So, why isn't she feeling being thrown around like this? Does the sun subdue her abilities just not lethal? Well, we got the non-lethal part nailed. Can someone remind the sun

[06:56] part nailed. Can someone remind the sun about THE INTERESTING PART? >> ALSO, are the spikes on that seriously just decorative? Because she should be picking that thing out of his head after burying it 6 inches into his alien brain

[07:11] >> Oh. >> I get potentially not feeling this because of the booze or being a Kryptonian or whatever, but she was wearing full-length jeans at the bar, meaning she was either wearing these

[07:23] denim shorts under the denim jeans, which is [ __ ] madness, or during her drunken bedtime routine got out of her long jeans, put the short jeans on, all realized was there. She wasn't that drunk. I don't even think that amount of

[07:49] on being the last orphan of a dead world to the one person who actually shares >> Kara, I'm just worried that if you keep going off planet like this, you're never >> You're not my dad. >> Did I come here to seek revenge?

[08:02] He already hit me with his pitch. >> No, she hit the bar with the pitch and spike barb in your thigh. I think she's justified in thinking you might need a previously on Supergirl Supergirl Ruthie focusing on this brightly colored

[08:17] she recognizes from her favorite comic. Trying to distract me from your subpar majestic beauty of on-location shooting the mountains through some sort of revenge plot turning you into a

[08:31] >> Kara lays out exactly what the movie knows is going to happen. Except for which of these two children becomes the murderer, of course. Krypto the dog and Pitt until the casting director realized

[08:44] it would be much cheaper and technically possible to just ask any old actor to possible to just ask any old actor to eat food during 90% of their scenes. it sure did master the recipe. Any subsequent emotional dog exploitation is

[08:58] of that. Especially when you, me, and everyone else knows they have no intent of actually killing the dog. Which, for the record, is the goodest boy and I case. >> I know that he'll see a missile hit her.

[09:12] >> That sounded descriptive. >> She says it paralyzes the host slowly >> Well, now I have no choice but to spend the rest of the movie thinking about >> What can I do? >> Have you thought about taking him to a

[09:25] yellow sun? Seems like the obvious first step for Krypto, the superpowered dog powers come from a yellow sun. >> Moving him would risk accelerating the >> Okay, fine. Moving him to a yellow sun might not be easy, but the obvious

[09:41] adventures of Lois and Clark. Freeze Krypto, slow down his metabolism, and Dean Cain. >> Brecken's tied the antidote on their >> Of course they do. >> They use it as an interrogation tactic,

[09:55] dangling relief in exchange for money, information, whatever they're after. attempt to use the antidote to acquire any of these things from Kara or anyone >> How long does he have? Three moon races. >> Wow, that's very movie needs a ticking

[10:09] >> I'mma go now. >> Sidelining the first character in the DCU that I felt any investment in. >> They've got fresh. Please watch your step." >> So, Rogan is here playing a weird little

[10:21] guy that is so recognizably Seth Rogan that it feels weird that it isn't just using one of the coolest locations from the comic and populating it with one of the most diverse collections of aliens we've seen on screen. Unfortunately, it

[10:34] graphic novel is ignored stand out even more. Or so screamed some nerd I bumped bolognese recipes. >> Maybe give us all a break from that >> Assuming it's a hookah instead of a breathing apparatus that allows him to

[10:49] accommodate for more than just mouth breathers, Kara. >> Kara not realizing that Ruthie has followed her onto this bus means that she somehow managed to rush to another bus stop before it left the planet. How

[11:03] >> I'm searching for Krem myself. >> I think I was pretty clear when I said >> The whole protag wants to work alone, but has a sidekick that won't get the hint and refuses to stay behind bit is now, as of 2026, done. It was also done

[11:19] as of 2016, 2006, and 1996. >> Who are they? What do they want? contribute to the movie's pacing by introducing some quasi punk action during a first act slump, silly. Kara swipes the tech pirates' teleporter

[11:32] technology that you'd think would be glued to their belt or at least on one scenes will often be cut a thousand times to hide flaws, but literally blipping your characters in and out of existence between punches and kicks

[11:46] feels like DC taking this idea to a natural and highly irritating conclusion >> Indeed, this is unpleasant. >> Not as unpleasant as it could have been for either party considering you clearly have no idea where this thing is going

[11:58] >> How close are we to we have a sun? >> Very close. Unbelievably close in fact. Like very, very unbelievably close given how [ __ ] big space is. Also, if Kryptonians are able to fly through our solar system even behind planets or

[12:13] maintain their superpowers after dark on Earth, Kara is more than close enough to this yellow sun to immediately have her powers too. Also, also, gaining powers from a yellow sun is very different from literally dying in the freezing cold of

[12:26] space and then being resurrected. And if that was never a concern, why the space suit shenanigans, Supergirl? Why did laser beams become the epitome of superhero badassery and why do I want to blame James Masters?

[12:38] >> You're coming with me to find Krem. >> Congratulations, you wore me down. insisting that she wants to work alone, the script gets bored with that idea and abandons it with little more than a and that's all I have to say about that. So,

[12:52] will not be making a habit of doing a Forest Gump thing then. Probably. Being surprised that a bunch of turds you just watched an alien slug poop out tastes >> Oh, it's okay, don't worry. I'll do the other side to even it out.

[13:05] assist anyone, let me help. She's trimming the pirate's hair with her eye threatening than a hack haircut. >> Tell me where to find Krem. >> Assuming that in the vastness of the universe all space pirates know each

[13:19] that premise. >> The atomic wars brought destruction. Half the population is gone and the remaining resources have drawn filth. >> More exposition than I expected. >> They scavenge for people. Girls to help

[13:31] >> I'd like to know which focus group decided that the second movie entry of the DCU needed an intergalactic sex trafficking ring. I'd then like to ask them what kind of movies they saw too early in their formative years. Also,

[13:44] poisoning like I'm being manipulated into hating someone more than is necessary for my superhero outing. Guys, it's okay. The stealing pie thing >> Good. Now you won't die. >> From the cold embrace of space. Kara's

[13:58] confidently walks into gunfire and knife blades that this Michelin star suit is ill-equipped to protect her from. The go-go body bubble collar apparently also between edits properties. >> They call him Superman and he was

[14:13] >> I'm Supergirl. >> Roll hanging a lantern on the one thing to do anything about it. >> Are you considerably younger than he is? >> I'd say 10 years, give or take. >> A lot of comics canon breached. In the

[14:26] comics, Kara is actually older but aged more slowly due to spending more time in stasis on her trip to Earth. But also the comics don't matter. Calm down the next Doomsday trailer is released. I get the many ways this movie is telling

[14:39] couple of women walking into this bar shouldn't be the record scratch moment it's presented as given that there are not only women working here but we just met an all-female crew of pirates who's likely been here as well. The movie goes

[14:52] alien creatures but can't imagine them singing anything but Earth songs. Also, in a movie that already openly stole a Star Wars character design, this should be a big Mos Eisley Cantina moment. Sadly, it's not even a Bea Arthur in the

[15:06] Star Wars Holiday Special moment. >> You win and you can have us both. I win >> All of this would have been a lot easier if she had some sort of find my space right app. And I'm not buying that some obnoxious tech douche hasn't capitalized

[15:18] on that [ __ ] in this space-faring dystopia. Gods are not that kind. >> Ready. >> Was this guy friends with everyone in does every single one of them seem to have taken this loss personally?

[15:32] >> DC trying to slip in a discount. Anybody want to get off? And [ __ ] the bed this all day. >> Keep playing. it's like the Titanic. >> Assuming everyone in the galaxy will get

[15:45] that there's a very good chance this is true and someone in this very bar is having an obnoxious conversation about that [ __ ] door. Thinking this counts as laying low during an all-out gunfight in an enclosed space. Whoever thought

[15:57] our peripheral vision and occasional reflections would be less annoying than the blinking in and out of existence fight from the bus. I'm not surprised Kara can take multiple blasts from space guns. I am however slightly surprised

[16:10] it's special clothing that's immune to damage, her first stop with Ruthie not the gas station with the off-the-rack bubble suit. >> No, no, no, no, no. Excuse me. >> Is it though? She just [ __ ] up your

[16:24] >> Oh, I didn't know that you spoke the common tongue. English isn't even the common tongue on did it become the galactic standard, especially when humans aren't even out

[16:37] here culturally polluting [ __ ] yet? The editors seem determined to convince me that Jason Momoa and Milly Alcock were not in the same room for any of these >> DC thinking that this will finally make up for the Lobo FOMO precisely 3% of the

[16:51] presence will feel organic and narratively satisfying and not just a tacked-on cameo to make up for [ __ ] the proverbial bed with Aquaman. >> He's an immortal with a god complex, killed off his entire planet.

[17:03] us there's a much better movie on the cards that we're clearly never going to see. Jason Momoa personifying that meme of the guy looking over his shoulder at embody all three roles. >> I'm looking forward to breaking in.

[17:16] >> Lobo probably should have asked this before 95% of the patrons were humbled >> He's so rude. >> The person you were just told killed his entire planet? That's like looking out at an ocean and calling it somewhat

[17:28] >> We're just a couple of girls from Metropolis, USA. We're doing a follow >> Kara decides to go full "Oh my god, valley girl" to diffuse the situation. It works. I do not know why. >> Clark? No, he's a freaking nerd.

[17:44] >> PG-13 distracts. >> No, it's not his age that makes him >> Kids, stop drinking so much and your heart can be younger, too. to go through. >> While my trauma beats your trauma

[17:57] competitions are super fun and not at all depressing, I'm not buying Kara's POV here. Okay, Kara didn't have to witness it firsthand, but he still lost got to have a decade or so with your family. He got 9 months in a womb. Also,

[18:11] discovered his parents were angling for him to conquer planet Earth. And don't get me started on that awful Twister's reseek boot. I'm just saying, he's carrying plenty of baggage, too, Kara. >> Another planet, Krypton.

[18:24] court erupted. >> Ruthy is remarkably well-educated about the history of the galaxy as a country girl from what seems to have been a >> No, Krypton didn't die in a day. The gods are not that kind.

[18:36] and fellow Kryptonians. >> My father and his brother, Jor-El, tried >> The plot of this movie is so comically thin that it will spend a quarter of its Man of Steel. >> My father and his brother, Jor-El, tried

[18:52] but no one listened. >> One of the biggest issues with Superman lore is no one listening to the proven scientific fact that Krypton was doomed. And yes, I know us earthlings are capable of massive self-delusion when it

[19:05] difference in not believing in man-made global warming and ignoring the very core of your planet saying, "Fuck you, peace out." Yikes. Gerrymandering on peace out." Yikes. Gerrymandering on Krypton is a bastard.

[19:24] hasn't even been born until a decade after the destruction of Krypton, making planet at that time. So, what exactly was Jor-El's advice to his brother? >> Almost by definition, runs out. >> That is precisely by definition not how

[19:39] >> That is precisely by definition not how luck works. destroyed because of mining and exhausting the planet's resources, an abuse that apparently never uncovered an ounce of kryptonite. I mean, it doesn't

[19:54] dug that deep. Also, why did it take 10 years for this mineral to affect the people living on top of it and eating it in their food when kryptonite any other way affects Superman and Supergirl instantly?

[20:11] lying around your lap, conveniently in the jettison part of the city, given you them until this moment. And we're not seen carrying any paperwork into the Argo City boarding zone. Skip.

[20:28] long term, even if she and Clark decided to adopt some Targaryen tendencies from Milly Alcock. Also, why can't he just build a few more of these pods for not buying that there was just the perfect amount of resources and time for

[20:44] perfect amount of resources and time for one pod and one pod alone. that the decades of slow-burn wisdom they could impart can be replaced by platitudes. Kara and Crypto are awake for this

[21:42] poison cures. >> One girl for two girls. >> Two girls and a huge bill to replace that external wall, apparently. Kind of cream to wear the exact antidote Kara was looking for dangling out in the open

[21:55] on a convenient tearaway necklace. Cool idea to have Supergirl headbutt Cream so hard she pulls out some of his piercings, but then I want to see the to be. Continuity sins don't give a damn about your PG-13 rating, Supergirl.

[22:09] >> You dropped your puppies antidote. >> [screaming] I'm not sure why else she wouldn't have eye lasered your chest, super sped the rescued Rufie. >> Are you drunk?

[22:22] rescue flights. Yay, the girls have escaped. Let's just ignore that it makes transport cell would just pop right open for them, or that they survived the >> Don't move. >> Expecting this to work when it has yet

[22:37] to work one single time. This smooth-faced low-res CG demon that momentarily replaces Supergirl. >> I threw the darts from the back bar. >> Touché. >> Banter. We're watching a lot of brigands

[22:49] get pummeled, but the most interesting thing about Kara and Lobo's superpowers is that they seem to be limited by the rays of the PG-13 sun. The up to this point damsel in distress repeat offender follows the brigand who killed her

[23:01] family down a dark back alleyway without telling Kara first. Solid plan, if her which I would respect. >> DC vainly hoping that Gen Zers and young millennials would care enough about this

[23:14] TikTokers everywhere. That's right, bastich incoming. >> She is not. And Kara wouldn't know if she was anyway. The brigands don't >> STOP. >> [screaming]

[23:28] kidnapped and said child are all brutally killed in a dark alleyway by the sex trafficker. This movie's a blast. Fun for all the family, truly. Kara is sad because Krem has bounced out of there through a dimensional portal

[23:41] why does she have to search for him specifically? If the brigands use this as an interrogation tactic, won't any big bad brigand do?

[23:54] a single teardrop to freeze in space. The answer was far more science-y than I expected. Suffice to say, it ain't this. Well, now you've pissed me off angry >> HELP, SQUIDWARD. >> I'm going to bet several of my pogs that

[24:07] this joke came first and the creature design followed. A photograph is a flat surface of even particles, meaning its details can't be seen by X-ray. But reminder. Comic accurate or not, I'm calling bull on the existence of a green

[24:21] sun. Until Andy Weir tells me otherwise and makes my new favorite movie on the subject. Also, between the red suns, green suns, and poison, why is 85% of this movie about taking Kara's powers away from her? I would have respected

[24:35] this movie more if it was simply called girl at this point. Zorel was a genius among his people. So, why didn't he see this language barrier >> Big city, lots of stuff to do. Bowling.

[24:48] >> Of all the things to do in Metropolis, Clark names one we've never seen him do, that Kryptonian super strength would make more destructive than fun. Although, Big Lebowski Superman crossover? Hopeful question mark?

[25:02] >> Citation needed. >> So, you bought in that man's ship, so I >> The unlocked, unmonitored cargo hold that you snuck into unnoticed and also snuck out of unnoticed before they flew away, uncertain if this was even the

[25:17] final destination for Kara or just a stop along the way. No wonder the It's ludicrous. >> Krypton is now to the planet orbits >> Krypton is now to the planet orbits between two suns, and now the green sun.

[25:30] >> Meaning they should also know to get their [ __ ] done before the other sun rises. Or better yet, space-yeet her ass directly into said green sun. I hear space. >> Krypton left your ship on Bilky.

[25:43] >> And I found this. >> When in the sweet fancy did she have time to skitter away, find Kara's ship, and get there to swipe her outfit? More >> I don't want my help. >> How? She doesn't know what this [ __ ]

[25:57] outfit means. It could be her bastitching gym gear for all Ruthie super suit, it doesn't [ __ ] matter cuz it doesn't even give her powers. I mean, Kara has given it no thought at all. Not a single "Where's my super

[26:10] suit?" for Ruthie to give a damn about it and risk her life to snag it. Kara. Don't freak out. >> Did any of the comics readers expect this moment to be the big reveal where Ruthie tells her she mistranslated the

[26:22] healer and Krypton isn't actually dying, but Ruthie lied to get her to help her trick that Kara pulls on her in the source material? Just this nerd? Fine. >> I'm so sorry for saying that. I didn't want to be like you.

[26:36] want to be like you. >> Pa pa pa pa pa, super skip. you're kind. And you're not always perfect, but you're good. her mother said on her deathbed that Kara should seriously be contemplating

[26:50] might have been onto something. Ruthie >> [clears throat] >> Miss genre jump scares.

[27:02] >> What's Ruthie's goal here? And why is Lobo throwing a rat at her to turn off the body suit she should have been able to turn off on her own? The answer. >> And after the revenge? >> I've already done

[27:14] >> And yet, this movie >> And a green sun and a Kryptonian is not >> No, please tell us that plot point one more time, Krem. For all the people on their phones watching this on Netflix. And please don't ask me to elaborate on

[27:27] to this Warner Brothers property finding a home on Netflix. >> You tell me where we can find your friend and I will let you live. >> I mean, she's basically where the ship landed, right? He arranged this whole

[27:41] thing, so he knows they landed as the green sun was coming up, meaning Kara young Ruthie here is going to be able to drag her ass. >> This one dies before the end of the day.
