No. He is not the villain. He is just a bounty hunter.

BTW, I really liked Lobo in Man of Tomorrow, the animated film.

Very ruff you say?

Lassie Has a Psychotic Reaction to Krokodil

Yes

I'm a little more interested in it now TBH

Krypto is based on James Gunn's misbehaving dog

Krypto killing sex traffickers

I don't think you understand what a narcissist is. And in the story, in literally every story about Supergirl, her family, her friends, everyone she ever knew, died horribly in front of her and she ends up surviving. There is such a thing as survivors guilt and it is pretty brutal.

But hey, feel free to be pissed that it isn't a clone of the Superman movie but with a girl.

Wonder if people would have the same criticism if the character was a man instead lol

Men get so much more space to be antisocial than women do

Yep. That's the point. She is just a person who lost her parents and home, and is trying to make sense of her life.

Yeah that's the whole point of her character

I think that's kind of the main issue with any character that has Superman-level powers, they're so OP that it sort of limits what you can do to keep the story interesting. You basically have:

• Try to make the powers irrelevant and embroil them in a complicated psychological/moral issue (great if it works but difficult to pull off and not especially visually interesting for a superhero movie.)

• Create an enemy with the same power level as them (then you just basically have two invincible characters bouncing off each other and smashing everything around them (visually interesting but essentially no stakes.)

• Have them lose their powers in some convoluted way and then get them back at the climax of the movie to do an ass-kicking scene (which seems to be the default.)

I think it's the same problem that The Boys TV show had - at first there was kind of a tension about them just being normal people and Homelander being so powerful that he could hear their heartbeats from half a mile away and level the entire city they were hiding in if he knew they were there, but the longer it went on the more preposterous it got that he hadn't just squished them yet. Especially when the show has them meet face-to-face multiple times and he either lets them go because reasons or they escape somehow.

and she recovered from the poison with yellow sun power, but the dog couldn't?

Maybe this would have been better written with ChapGPT.

I think the issue was more DC's power scaling issues. It's kinda hard to write a compelling story for Superman or Batman at their peak, because they are, for the most part, invincible and flawless according to DC. I suspect that her not having the ability to access her powers for 3/4 of the movie was an effort to make her seem like a Marvel superhero with flaws and relatability. Unfortunately, DC doesn't know how to do that, as Marvel doesn't even know how to do that consistently. Power creep is a real problem if you can't just magic away the hero's basic invulnerability.

This is one of the issues that Invincible tackled quite nicely at least until the end of season 2. I haven't gotten around to watching season 3.

23-year-old with abandonment and self-worth issues behaves less than reasonably, more at 11.

Her suit also included shorts under her skirt. SHORTS! Isn't that outrageous? How are they supposed to get pantyshots now?! /S

It was... fine. The action scenes were pretty dull, though. Seemed a strange choice for a second movie. If you're gonna have Supergirl as your second movie it really has to knock it out of the park. I mean guardians was after like 8 MCU movies or something.
