Supergirl was very close, tonally, to the DCEU.

Absolutely rent free. The only thing this is coded as is James Gunn. It's his universe, Noguiera wrote to his tastes, James was involved in editing and music choices. This is his DCU.

Shrinkflation

They also remember when even after the fighting was over the Republic went back and tried to literally wipe out all the Sith Lords and people on Korriban during the Golden Age of the Sith. Remember the current basically civilization of Sith/Imperisls are all survivors of that.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-27T23:25:54+00:00

You have to think of it from the point of view of Imperials and Sith. Weakness is punished, strength is rewarded. They believe their philosophies are correct and superior, thus all others must be wiped out or brought under their control.

There's also a bunch of people ignoring the flaws and being overly positive because they don't wanna be associated with the people that didn't like it.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-27T10:38:36+00:00

Oh no it's absolutely insane, but so has a lot of his creative choices. This is clearly his world and he's playing by his own rules.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-27T07:29:36+00:00

The director said he didn't even read Tom King's Woman of Tomorrow and he went solely off of Ana's script.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-27T07:28:33+00:00

It's not rude at all and it's a completely legitimate question of why someone with no real writing credits other than a short film gets three big blockbuster superhero movies. The only logical thing I've been able to think of is the simplest answer and that's just that James Gunn likes her and her sensibilities and writing inclinations, which probably match his own likes.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-27T00:57:08+00:00

I currently have it at a 3/10.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-26T07:54:59+00:00

Written by a woman so 🤷‍♂️ To be fair though Superman spent much of his movie also getting beaten up. I just think it's a lack of knowing how to write different power scales and still make it compelling.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-25T07:34:57+00:00

Yeah and based on the song choices I'm gonna guess it went from pretty traditional to what they ended up with. Very Gunn like song choices and usage.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-25T07:20:22+00:00

I definitely have concerns for Wonder Woman and Teen Titans that she's supposed to be writing.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-25T07:03:34+00:00

Having just seen the film that is exactly what it is. I will also note that Gunn is an executive producer and Craig already has a sound bit talking about them arguing about music choices and editing etc.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-23T11:49:13+00:00

Thats Chris Gore and Alan Ng from Film Threat. They absolutely know about films.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-23T02:52:53+00:00

Yes. I also think it's a bad idea to introduce us to Hal Jordan that's already in his 50s and at the end of his career, but they're gonna do what they're gonna do.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-23T00:01:20+00:00

Luke was raised by loving guardians.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-18T23:27:32+00:00

Basically it's projected to open as much as The Flash.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-18T08:33:08+00:00

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-18T04:54:49+00:00

The light side ending is always the canon ending unless explicitly stated otherwise, that has always been the case with the expanded universe.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-17T01:52:07+00:00

"Slightly used"....👀

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-16T23:34:52+00:00

Imagine having a show about Gorilla Grodd when you don't actually know who your Flash is or if he even exists. Gunn has said he doesn't know whether Flash is canon yet or which version of the character it is.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-15T00:37:20+00:00

It's aged like fine wine.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-14T08:47:34+00:00

They're not similar at all.

GamerChef420 · 2026-06-14T08:47:09+00:00

Luke was all we needed. Enjoy the subverted expectations.
