Yeah, I don’t know shit about DC and I was fine not having any real background on anyone. Krypto especially.
After watching Supergirl though, I was annoyed.
I liked the plot, but it was too shallow and heavy handed. They could have spent a little more time on the writing. The bad guy was absolutely one dimensional and completely forgettable.
Also, so many deus ex machina macguffins. I guess you need to when you have a “Kryptonian” but they should have just kept her on a red planet and had her deal with everything without her super powers.
Then after she wins, have her get to a yellow sun and do super stuff for the fans. But the 72 hour poison, kryptonite darts, “Krem has the strength of a thousand men”, … that was just so lame.
Where is their production money going because it’s clearly not being spent on writing?
Tap for spoiler
At least she killed someone. So tired of homicidal maniacs being “brought in for justice.”

I’ve not seen the movie yet, but the comic it is based on is absolutely phenomenal and structured as a sort of myth telling exercise examining personal grief and effectively godhood. The villains are supposed to be one dimensional and incidental to Supergirl’s story.

I personally quite enjoyed it and that sounds about how it felt.
