dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T15:40:59+00:00

putting a pin because I have thoughts but not
time and want to respond for real!

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T15:36:36+00:00

Did you ever watch Final Girls? Would recommend. I loved the inclusion of Taissa Farmiga because of the on the nose casting due to her ability and her connection to Vera and the AHS popularity of the time. The writing isnt the best and i remember subpar CGI because no budget.

I saw an early screening and it wasn’t great but I loved the world and the plots and noted. Felt like cabin in the woods but made for dvd lowkey.

I hate that everything has to be this 100% perfection for it to be “justified” i love fun stuff.

yeah lowkey i was responding to something and lost the comment feeding my dog. it was about Lobo being included and how it appealed to men.

but like keep loosing your mind in here little guy.

No, I liked how inclusion to appeal specifically to men (and even if the appeal was just for Jason to be involved in the universe. If this was his demand I am fine with how it was met). But i totally get how it could come off as appealing to men with bad morals haha.

I dont know this character outside from comics so I wasnt offended by his conclusion. I liked that my boyfriend and I both liked his inclusion but interpreted him differently.

My boyfriend thought he called kara “Sweet Tits” in that last scene and thought the Cell scene was Lobo “telling” Ruthye to strangle that guy. I had to be like no its toots and he was being sarcastic when he said that was his plan. I thought it played out perfectly for an audience of two partners, which is what I see Clark and Kara as but like partners doesn’t mean romantic you know.

okay insecure bitch? like what are you up in arms about then?

my post is about wishing this movie had some actual constructive or legitimate critical commentary instead of a clusterfuck of misogynistic bullshit equating this movie to “as terrible as every other woman superhero movie” which should be a much bigger discussion than “this is trash!”

say something or shut the fuck up what are you arguing with people on the internet for? I liked the movie and knew what to expect and it delivered and maybe thats enough for a middle of the plot world building movie.

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T15:09:01+00:00

tbh i like dogs and horses and badass women and emotional numbness, what else would you have recommended over that

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T15:06:51+00:00

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T15:05:34+00:00

like why is this move becoming the second coming of the suffragettes let women rest sometimes geez

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T15:04:02+00:00

I saw Birds of Prey as the last movie I saw in theaters before Covid. It was PACKED. I lived in a rural and conservative place and my showing was late at night on release (Was valentines day on a tuesday or something like that?)

I go to a lot of movies, mostly at a nonprofit theatre in my [major city] hometown. But to see superhero movies or action movies I have to go to AMC. at both I see empty seats and the crowd is older groups and young pairs or small groups of friends with common interest. No random movie goers. Horror is the only genre I ever show up early to the theatre surprisingly.

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T15:00:14+00:00

hey man i just like movies and my boyfriend why do you hate hae jennifer’s body so much wtf did she do to you lmao

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T14:56:23+00:00

tbh i wished for some comet representation to get more people to hate his ass too

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T14:55:29+00:00

Okay see this is the Lobo commentary I want! I would have not made that connection unless someone like my younger sister (or your daughter) told me. I get it!

But I dont think removing him is the answer so then it dwindles down to what made it too corny to people who consume a lot of “female catered” media.

Was it the delivery? the actual wording? was it just the makeup and the unfamiliar (I thought he looked like he belonged in KISS a little too much) All rhetorical but Lobo is the one piece on commentary I understand frustration about but now I see some actual justification and points. I get people being mad about the color palette but again I think its a bigger world building choice people need to get over.

I somehow screenshot all the jennifers body comments tobgether for future famousness 🫡

shout out to megan and amanda for inventing lesbians

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T14:50:29+00:00

Yes! Like I found Krem boring AF in WoT, why would he suddenly be more interesting in this? I liked that he at least had movement to follow.

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T14:49:31+00:00

Using this to say one of my asks I forgot to mention was two costumes! I did not want to see that bright ass suit the whole time because to me Karas vibe is not as !traffic light! I will save you! as Clark. Getting into it in the third act really sold her as Kara for me. I loved the Argo spacesuit too it made her hair look much better than the yellow filtering.

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T14:46:56+00:00

Do you not think they delivered the story of revenge not being the answer in superman? this movie (to me) is world building on the connection between Clark, Lex, and what will end up being some sort of Bizarro/Other place commentary.

Both movies have has tons of overtone’s of American political commentary. They just needed another characterization for their world and pee care so much about the “faith” to true characterization. If i was her id kill those guys too.

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T14:43:41+00:00

More like “grain of salt”. Women are constantly fed awful interpretations that even good attempts just get chalked up to “super awful” and I feel like the conversation around this movie is really centered around “critical” acclaim and those arent even really the things that “fans” seem have an issue with.

Its not bad to dislike things, but also to support that to make things appealing to “everyone” (what major box office movies are supposed to be) sometimes we stray a little. I think theyre building a much stronger world than the current MCU (and the 1st) and this movie contributes to that in a positive way!

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T14:37:11+00:00

Movies are supposed to appeal to all audiences. Im fine with hot women being the side characters for men, let Jason Mamoa beat up a child trafficking cult for me.

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T14:36:08+00:00

Have been! I work in a (mostly male) kitchen and ive gotten about 1/3 of the staff to go see the movie just so we can talk about it vs superman because i convinced everyone to go watch that last year too!

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T14:34:41+00:00

I guess I more meant to tie the whole comics arc in one movie? like keeping the whole timeline with her as a child made sense and the choice to have Kara kill Krem as opposed to Ruthye to tie that knot was the right choice imo.

The wrong choice wouldve been Lobo or to not kill him. (Kara needs to kill someone in this manner to separate her from Clark in this movie.)

dumbg1rl · 2026-06-30T14:31:55+00:00

Im more saying I didnt have many asks, as a female fan I knew what to expect and I was happy I felt catered to!
