Supergirl: Toxic Femininity
Summary: Superman’s cousin puts down the bottle, more like moves with it, and actually does something.
Maybe having your lead saying how men don’t own women’s bodies, when no one said they did, then insulting those offended on the grounds of their gender and religion, then changing the canon of a character to say she’s Bi and then finally saying the films better as it doesn’t centre men, isn’t a great way to market a film, as the terrible preview numbers show.
Kara is deeply unlikeable, she is very much the human embodiment of the damaged tattoo from the forehead of Jared Leto’s Joker. She drinks, she’s sad, she’s unpleasant to those around her, as God forbid she doesn’t take out her mental issues on other people. The message of this film is that that is okay behaviour as you can be good but not nice, which is a self defeating morally bankrupt principle. The film thinks this is showing her as a damaged character, with the journey being to show how she becomes more connected to people. However, the film tries to make her seem cool in her broken state glorifying her entitled and bratty behaviour.
Superman is in this, as more than just a target for dog urine, as Gunn and co really respect the character, herein he plays the concerned mother hen constantly checking in, usually to be met with derision or a well actually from Kara.
Of course the film likens being a bride to slavery, by having the villain literally kidnapping women and turning them not into sex slaves as is the case with most human trafficking, but rather brides. The message here is clear, marriage is bad and a prison for women. It is also entirely unoriginal as Mad Max Fury Road did a similar thing about ten years ago.
Lobo gets less screen time than you imagine and serves really to be red meat to throw to the male fans who Alcock has alienated so completely. He’s maybe on screen for a total of 5 minutes.
The focus on Krypto once again shows the weakness of the Gunn verse as it does not seem to be able to stand without having a cute dog to try and guilt butts into seats. This shows a weakness in storytelling. The actual journey of healing if you want to view it like that shows off the toxicity of Kara’s damaged personality and even when she does something good it quickly becomes self centered once again.
Overall, there is a reason that Clayface is having it’s premium formats reconsidered, this feels like edgy Tumblr fanfic from about 2 decades ago.
0.5/5
Pros.
It’s not a 3 hour slog
Cons.
Kara is unlikable
The journey feels incomplete by the end
You’ve seen it before
Lobo is barely in it
It feels like it’s for edgy girls circa 2009

The thing about franchise films, like Marvel or Sony's Spider-man Universe, is that they function exactly like any other type of franchise under capitalism. They start out great! They even get better! They do novel and cool things. And then they slowly, or not so slowly, ground down by the relentless pursuit of profit, morphed into the Big Mac you have either because you can't be arsed, can't afford anything better, or can't find anything better, and think "you know, the ingredients still make sense, if only they were of a better quality and the person who made it was actually invested in the making of this product and not desperately trying to make rent. It's a shame, really."
On the upside, 'Madame Web' features The Cranberries 1992 banger 'Dreams' over the end credits.
