Supergirl Trailer, My Thoughts

The dynamic New DC Cinematic Universe marches on! After her appearance in 2025's Superman, Milly Alcock is flying high as the Maid of Might in her second live-action adventure since 1984. Directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Ana Nogueira, it tells the tale of the titular Girl of Steel celebrating her birthday...which leads her to a search for brutal revenge. The film will also star David Krumholtz, Jason Momoa, and Emily Beecham, and James Gunn and Peter Safran are producers. Let’s look at the trailer! 

Say what you will about Kara, but she has good taste in tunes. "Call Me" by Blondie is a classic.

I imagine that's the most effort Kara has put into paper-training Krypto.

If you don't get the reference, this film is clearly drawing from the 2021 miniseries Woman of Tomorrow, written by Tom King and with art by Brazilian artist Bilquis Evely. I've heard it was good, but I've never been interested in reading it, as I have no clue if it's canon or not. 

Yeah, you see, it can be implied that Krypton's destruction was not only as instantaneous as one originally believed, but that unlike Clark, Kara does remember its destruction. It does explain why she is so jaded and has the "party girl" persona.

I've heard some people say this is just ripping off Guardians of the Galaxy. They are idiots. James Gunn is not making this movie, and the only commonalities these films have is they are set in space and they have aliens. That is literally it.

You better hope you're under a yellow sun when you talk trash, Kara.

LOBO! 

I expect much violence and brutality towards bastiches.

I love that Superman seems to be famous throughout the galaxy in this universe. I can imagine that must affect some folks' view of Kara. Her wearing his symbol, acting the way she does. I can believe that there are some folks who think that she is an embarrassment and disgrace to him and his emblem. Just goes to show how judgmental some folks can be.

"He sees the good in everyone, and I see the truth." I think this will be from the beginning, when Kara is still cynical and emotionally wounded from her traumas. Over the course of the film, she'll start the healing process. It's the classic arc. I don't think Kara will truly become a "goody-two-shoes" at the end, but we'll see her start to overcome her traumas and become a stronger better person for it. 

This film looks like it's going to be an enjoyable time. I can't wait to see the Maid of Might return to the big screen. I think this film will do a great job exploring Kara and make us root for her on this epic adventure. Especially since it has that True Grit vibe. Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off! Take care of yourselves and each other! See you next time!
