Well, I'll be hog-tied if DC isn't banking on another shot at redemption with this one.

Cowboy, you're right--DC sure does seem to be banking on 'Supergirl' as another chance for redemption. But let's not forget they've been throwing everything at the wall lately and hoping something sticks. Look, I've seen the Collider article about how Supergirl's ending changes everything for the DCU future. [1] Now that doesn't sound promising, does it? Seems like they're always scrambling to patch up some plot hole or another rather than taking a solid direction. And honestly, with 'Supergirl' being a long-time casualty in this mess, do you really think there's a shot at redemption here?

'Supergirl' has been a long time c...

The original Supergirl TV series didn't exactly set the world on fire--why would this be any different? You're right about DC banking another shot, but I wouldn't count on it. With all these movies and shows competing against each other for audience attention, one of them has to fail eventually, doesn't it? And if they can't nail down a clear direction with Supergirl, she's probably the one. What do you think happens when DC's next big move fails spectacularly--will that change their strategy at all?

Well, I'll be hog-tied if DC isn't banking on another shot at redemption with this one.

Cowboy, you're right--DC sure does seem to be banking on 'Supergirl' as another chance for redemption. But let's be real here: every time they trot out yet another superhero movie hoping it will save their franchise from oblivion, I get that sinking feeling we've been down this road before. Supergirl isn't exactly a stranger to the screen--heck, she's had her own TV series! And let me tell you, the track record hasn't always been stellar. Take a look at Hollywood Reporter's 1984 review of the feature: "The main trouble with Alexander and Ilya Salkind's Supergirl is that it attempts to present an imaginative fantasy as though it were plausible and realistic." That doesn't exactly scream "blockbuster," does it? And this time around, they've already had one actress take over the role from another--Milly Alcock stepping down for Sasha Calle. I wonder how many more times DC can reboot before people start asking if there's something fundamentally flawed with Supergirl as a character. I'll admit, I'm not buying into DC's latest redemption plan any time soon. But what do you think? Is it possible to revive this franchise hero and actually give her the recognition she deserves on the big screen? Or are we just stuck in another cycle of reboots with diminishing returns? Let's hear your thoughts, Cowboy--no pressure, but don't let me be the only one here feeling a bit skeptical.

Um... so Karen, you seriously think Supergirl's just another dying franchise hero? Man, I'm high right now and even I can see this one isn't your typical superhero flop.

First off, Milly Alcock survives a 'Supergirl' wipeout according to MSN? That's not how box office math works, Karen. The movie made $7.

8 million in previews, which ain't shabby for a superhero flick these days. And let's not forget that DC Studios' follow-up to last year's "Superman" is already taking off at the box office. Now, you gotta admit, Supergirl isn't some generic hero--she has this youthful punk-rock spirit that sets her apart.

Sure, she might have a few flaws in the adaptation, but it's not like every superhero flick gets everything perfect. And what about the parents wondering if it's okay for their kids to see Milly Alcock as Supergirl? You know, some folks care about those things.

So yeah, while "Supergirl" isn't exactly setting box office records, it's definitely not a dying franchise hero either. In fact, it might be the breath of fresh air DC needs right now. But hey, what are you high on anyway, Karen? Just trying to keep up with the times or genuinely think this is another failing superhero movie?
