Must See Movies

Case in point.



The director didn’t read the source material and it shows. Instead he just copies the Guardians of the Galaxy aesthetic ad nauseam, lazily uses a 1-dimensional caricature of a bad guy who adds nothing to the story, leans on special effects, and oh yeah, brings in Lobo.

This story is supposed to be about two women inspiring each other and maybe saving a bit of each other’s souls. I’m a girl-dad, and I want to see that work. The supporting teen actress does a good job, but they hamstring the lead actress in the main role giving here very little to do.

They show Supergirl’s origin and that is important, but even there they miss how she spent hours literally burying half the people she knew. I guess there’s not a lot of time, but these small details are important.

The crazy good art, colors, and epic moments of the original story are missing, they keep only the very surface plot elements and get lazy at many turns, ultimately devolving to petty revenge which damages the legend of the main character.

Supergirl doesn’t kill bad people, she’s supposed to help them. Guess they didn’t trust the audience to get that message.
 


Welp, the daughter and I are now going to watch a couple of the Rocky movies. She has never seen any of them (I know, I'm a terrible dad). But, she loves boxing, so she will love these movies. Maybe we can fit 1-3 in today.

People that try to clown on Philadelphia for revering Rocky are myopic and don't actually understand why it is that the city has embraced the idea and legacy of the character.

(Hint: this right here is why.)

I don't clown on them because they revere Rocky. I clown on them because revering Rocky as an identity is lazy as shit.

Is okay during Eagles games though, right? Right?
