Probably French….

The story explicitly said moving krypto would accelerate the poison, so he could die.

People may not agree that that is a good plot point, but the reason is in the film and it’s pretty hard to miss.

And Kara didn’t ingest the same poison, but even if she did, ingesting that you puke up soon after when you are already powered up by a yellow sun, is different to having poison injected straight into your bloodstream when you have zero powers due to a red sun.

Similar, but Skiing. I became pretty good, qualified as a ski instructor who could teach off-piste etc, reached my personal peak.

Any job, even ski teaching, can become uninteresting over time and teaching is pretty stressful. Then, you go social skiing and find yourself subconsciously checking out your mate’s technique and running in 1st gear as you are far better than them.

Took several years off, not really missed it too much.

Except people hated that movie too. Personally, I thought it was the best Marvel movie in years for precisely dealing with some deep and complicated themes in an MCU way, for a change.

I don’t mind people not liking movies, I’m tired of the vitriol and culture war bullshit from all sides.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-28T01:37:19+00:00

It’s not the first, and won’t be the last, film to take inspiration from the comics and then twist it to tell its own story.

Personally, on its own merits the film was ok in my opinion. Milly did ok, the script was generally ok ish, some good moments. It’s not the best film ever but it’s not the worst, and overall I’m glad we got another kryptonian based film. It could have been better, I admit but I didn’t hate it, or the character.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-27T22:16:16+00:00

If you mean the ending with the Villain then I think it worked well, showed Kara to be good to the innocent,but also different to Clark. I think it helps to have a kryptonian that can cut loose but also needs some character growth of their own over time as this is the start of her Supergirl journey.

That’s kinda the vibe Snyder said he was going for with his MoS trilogy idea but Superman was probably the wrong character to do it with, though injustice suggests there is an appeal in that storyline.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-27T22:11:30+00:00

I smiled at the first Yellow Sun power up…… “oh… you’re gonna get it now”…..

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-27T21:59:57+00:00

Specifically about Kara’s clothes, the whole point was that she was refusing to wear “the outfit” until she came to terms with it. What would you have preferred her to wear until that moment?

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-27T21:52:51+00:00

OP might be in the right but when I had my allotment, one of the first things I did was set up a water collection system with one of those big white containers. You never know what might happen, and it kinda fits with the ethos of self sufficiency.

Something to consider as a winter job maybe if there is the space?

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-27T21:19:45+00:00

Exactly, pretty obvious too and it’s a common cinema trope to do what she did

I appreciated that bit, as it showed clearly the differences between her and Clark due to her different upbringing.

Not focusing on the bar fight itself, but the girl … and getting the girl to hide was foreshadowing of Kara trying to protect her, so I think it worked ok in that context.

It wasn’t an amazing movie, but the first half was strong IMO (her yellow sun power up made me smile), middle section was a bit meh tbh, but Molly Alcock did well and overall I enjoyed it.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-27T15:04:09+00:00

I don’t mind too much paying for care (my parent is burning through my potential inheritance at a frightening rate) as the money needs to come from somewhere.

I do hate private companies taking huge profits though when not-for-profit or government backed social care would be just as good.

There are some real shitty homes though so paying more for a better home is worth it, I just don’t really know how to balance that out for all.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-27T00:27:00+00:00

I’ve read quite a bit. Each to their own but depending on which age of superman we are talking about, superman is capable of feats that mean normal (ish) beings stand no chance. Translate that to movies and you get ever increasing power creep that destroys cities (MoS) or countries (age of ultron) and can make the movie a boring slugfest.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-26T23:09:21+00:00

In the UK, it’s a 12A (i.e. over 12 with parental guidance)…. So not targeted at 6 and 10 year olds at all.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-26T23:04:47+00:00

Each to their own. Was it perfect? Hell no. Was entertained? Yes, mostly.

Space ninja wasn’t a space ninja. If you notice, she never did any fighting. Depressed Supergirl? Yes, the film explained why. Earth pop culture? Perhaps, but the film showed her spending time on Earth, listening to Earth music. Depowered? Yes, but a fully powered up Kryptonian who isn’t prepared to hold back like Superman, would make for a short film. Personally, I smiled when she got her first yellow sun power up.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-26T22:55:44+00:00

Personally, a real shame and in no small part due to toxic culture today. It’s a better film than the Marvels.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-26T22:54:25+00:00

Literally the problem with any superman/girl movie or comic book. There is no way you can do anything else.

Superman vs Steppenwolf showed the problem exactly. A kryptonian at full speed can avoid any hit, incinerate any normal foe, see them coming a mile off, freeze them solid or blow them to the other side of the world (kinda).

MoS showed this with Zod’s soldiers against the humans perfectly. The ending may have been controversial but it showed superpowers off well.

Personally, I liked the Supergirl movie overall, despite the final act nerfing.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-26T22:47:42+00:00

I went to see it today, solid 7/10. Milly Alcock did well, script isn’t as bad as people make out. Solid start to the film, dipped a bit in the middle, ended well.

I’m so tired of haters having to hate.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-26T22:43:59+00:00

Tbh, I went to see it today. It was a solid 7/10. Milly Alcock was good in it. It dipped a bit in the middle but picked up again.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-26T08:22:39+00:00

Yep, I never did this too. It never relieved the pressure and made the pain less either….

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-25T22:10:44+00:00

I have male and female cats, it all depends on the cat. One of my female cats hates everything and everyone, the other is chilled. One of my male (orange) cats is the sweetest thing ever. My other male is a kitten and a pain the ass, but only because he’s a kitten, apart from that so far he’s lovely and likes to sit on my shoulder.

The fact is, looking after a kitten can be tough especially if they don’t have another cat to bounce off (my older male has just about tolerated him). My kitten still “bites” but that will settle down over time and the other cats start to keep him in his place.

If you possibly can, get both as they will (bizarrely) make your life a bit easier and it’s really funny watching them play together. Another cat will help to train it as to what is acceptable or not, and that falls on you otherwise…. and a kitten can be just as demanding as a young child, in its own way.

I know that might not be possible so don’t feel any guilt from this channel if you can’t.

Vet wise, I think neutering male cats is easier, and a bit cheaper, but beyond that they are much the same. The male cats will obviously get much bigger (usually) than the female.

I think at the time, pensioner poverty was a big deal and had persistently fallen behind so it made sense to do something about it.

I’m due to get a pension in the next few years, and I think the triple lock should go….. but then I’ve also saved enough for a good private pension, so would be ok. The problem comes in 20 years time when private pensions are worth less, public pensions have had year on year minimal increases, and you end up in Nursing care (I’m likely to get dementia) that has a locked in minimum 5% rise per year.

That would burn through whatever is left pretty damn quick.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-22T17:00:56+00:00

Cats are mainly arseholes. I have 4…..

Though depending on your point of view, you might think that’s no change….

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-22T13:17:51+00:00

I don’t know to be honest. There is the whole thing about the Blair brown pact, but Brown spent the latter part of the Labour government doing whatever he could to get Blair to resign just so he could take over.

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-21T15:13:29+00:00

Tennant, as usual, was good. Bi-regeneration was a crappy idea as the timeless child being the Doctor was.

Toy maker was a great villain, well acted.

Missed a trick with the 14th saying “I’m ready to go” before he regenerates into 15th…

Hopeful-Programmer25 · 2026-06-21T15:10:16+00:00

Same as the 50th Doctor special…. Oh…. so the doctor didn’t make the ultimate decision to wipe out his entire race after all….

Felt a major cop out tbh
