    Having seen it, I thought it was generic and the main plot very villain of the week. Backstory/flashbacks were decent. Based on what they were going for in the trailer… They needed to mix it up, my pitch: An R rating, let her crush some skulls. Let her not be Superman. Think Brightburn. Let her have an arc. Break some spines, accidentally and on purpose. show her having trouble controlling her new found powers on yellow star systems, laser people in half, not having to grow up on earth like Clark slowly learning to control his powers. Let her vent and pick fights in rough cesspools across the galaxy while binge drinking! :::spoiler That makes these Brigand folk, not just villains of the week, they’re tougher, they can take a punch, they hurt Krypto::: and they’re just what the doctor ordered, theyre cathartic… 😌💀🩸🩹

      Yeah no, we don’t need to turn every superhero movie into a gritty nolanverse-like

      We need space for fun, for whimsy, for brightness

        There aren’t really any superhero movies like that outside of maybe Joker. I’d probably go watch something like The Boys or Invincible in theaters. Superman/woman/girl not so much. They’re like the plain white bread of superheroes
