I mostly liked the Supergirl movie, but it sadly fell flat for me on a whole. The visuals are muddy and the needle drops felt excessive (the one in the final fight was the worst one). I think this was a very poor adaptation of an excellent comic book. I did love the acting and costume designs.

if you're feeling down about genAI please remember that it is a) intensely unpopular b) immensely unprofitable c) being propped up by people who NEED it to succeed, will spend any amount to create an illusion of a win but still keep failing and leaving the people they work with caked in shit

PSA for Discord's new age verification! If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it. Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+ It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

Don't reckon I've switched up on a book harder than on Hickman's Ultimate Spider-Man. I loved the first half. The concept of an older Spidey just starting out, uncovering and fighting a fascist world, was a great hook, and it was cool to see a more classic supporting class back in the book.

I'm pretty sick of these comics that exist only for MCU synergy. Bringing back creatives from the BND era to tell some undiscovered story is playing things too safe. I love Spider-Man, but Marvel needs to stop relying on the same circle of guys from 2008 and give the line a breath of fresh air.
