Speaker 1: Because the people need to know.
Speaker 2: Mack and I did see Supergirl early, and we will
Speaker 2: give you a spoiler free discussion right now. Short on
Speaker 2: should you see Supergirl in theater? Should you wait? Should
Speaker 2: you even bother?
Speaker 1: Mac? I will ask you right now, one word answer.
Speaker 3: Oh, and whether they should see it her or not.
Speaker 4: I think I think it's worthy of the big screen experience.
Speaker 4: I think it's a really good movie. I don't know
Speaker 4: if it's great. The characters are here. Here's my takeaway,
Speaker 4: and maybe I'll tease the episode our review of it
Speaker 4: this way. Millie Alcock's Kara Zorrel Supergirl I like more
Speaker 4: as a character than David korn Sweat as Clark Slash Superman. Now,
Speaker 4: I liked Superman more as a movie, but her character
Speaker 4: is just cooler.
Speaker 2: So what I like about it is that it is
Speaker 2: a great counter to what we just got with Superman. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a great ying yang of one side is this?
Speaker 2: One side?
Speaker 1: Is this?
Speaker 2: One side is Goss g Willakers. One side is super
Speaker 2: jaded and I love them both being on the screen together.
Speaker 2: I also really enjoyed in this movie. I thought the
Speaker 2: world building, the DC world building was fantastic.
Speaker 4: The world building was really good. It rounds out our
Speaker 4: Superman story that we got and also is going to
Speaker 4: lead into future DC and Superman stories. There is a
Speaker 4: teenage actor in this that plays sort of second fiddle
Speaker 4: to Kyra slash Supergirl, and I gotta.
Speaker 3: Say she was really good.
Speaker 1: I thought she was good.
Speaker 3: It's really good.
Speaker 2: But I'm kind of sick of that in the superhero
Speaker 2: movies of you have the younger kid sidekick looking for
Speaker 2: the reluctant hero to help. We got a lot of
Speaker 2: that in Marvel Phase four.
Speaker 4: So I will say all the themes and plot points
Speaker 4: you've seen before in another movie. There's no real original
Speaker 4: type thing here. But I did like and this was
Speaker 4: sort of teased in some of the press stuff and
Speaker 4: Millie Alcock and them talking how super grossive for the Superman.
Speaker 4: There is an end to this movie that I found
Speaker 4: very satisfied.
Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, so satisfactor. I did really enjoy that. Also,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna see this everywhere because looking at the trailers,
Speaker 2: you're assuming, oh, this looks a lot like Guardians of
Speaker 2: the Galaxy.
Speaker 1: It's more like a Mad Max. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, there are music notes in here that are
Speaker 4: Guardians esque.
Speaker 3: There is some mad Max to it. There's a couple
Speaker 3: of great action.
Speaker 4: Scenes in this movie too. This movie's fun enough. You
Speaker 4: like the characters, you're rooting for them. You get a dog,
Speaker 4: you got Crypto. The one thing I will say is
Speaker 4: it was sort of teased as like a Lobo sidekick movie.
Speaker 4: It's not that he's in here. A couple scenes he's
Speaker 4: kind of fun. Took me out of the movie a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 1: They would have pulled back one or two of those scenes.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So if you're going to this for Lobo, you know
Speaker 4: a lot of Lobo, you're not gonna get it, but
Speaker 4: he exists.
Speaker 2: Also, if you like complex villains where you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: are they good or bad, you're not gonna like this
Speaker 2: one because and this is actually I don't mind this.
Speaker 2: Every once in a while, it's just a villain that
Speaker 2: you know is a piece of shit.
Speaker 4: To me, this is a not i won't say perfect,
Speaker 4: but like an ideal villain for this one off movie
Speaker 4: that's a stepping stone to something greater. We saw in
Speaker 4: Guardians where Ronan was very much like this guy. So
Speaker 4: you've see again, you've seen this bad guy before. He's
Speaker 4: faceless essentially, he's actually a really really bad guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And not to give anything away, but the bad guys
Speaker 2: in this are pretty much space pirates.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, for lack of a better term, even though.
Speaker 1: They do technical really bad things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're bad people.
Speaker 1: They're really aliens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not from Earth.
Speaker 2: They're not from Earth. That's what I'm saying. You thought
Speaker 2: you thought the whole movie was on Earth. So that
Speaker 2: does get into and I asked my DC expert at work.
Speaker 2: I'm like, Hey, are there this, this, and this, And
Speaker 2: he's like, oh, I have no idea, Like he was
Speaker 2: confused by the question that I asked, which does get
Speaker 2: into a little bit of the convenience of the end.
Speaker 2: We're not going to spoil anything, but that is one
Speaker 2: of my takeaways of like, why would they do this?
Speaker 1: If this can happen. We'll get more.
Speaker 2: Into spoilers in the you know, the full episode. Two
Speaker 2: questions that I think will be answered obviously by the
Speaker 2: end of the weekend of what is the box office
Speaker 2: going to look like for this movie, because I'm confused
Speaker 2: by who the audience is because the movie I feel
Speaker 2: like is tonally and then violence wise pushes as close
Speaker 2: that PG. Thirteen up to an R without being an
Speaker 2: R to the point of just show some blood, make
Speaker 2: it a little more gory, and just make it an R.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they're afraid already of the audience, so
Speaker 4: you pull back from the R to PG thirteen. With
Speaker 4: that though, I think that's the perfect differentiator between like
Speaker 4: Superman and Supergirl. Superman PG Supergirl thirteen Slash are the characters,
Speaker 4: and I think having her what has me excited. Having
Speaker 4: her in play going forward, knowing she's gonna make different
Speaker 4: final decisions than Superman would is.
Speaker 3: Intriguing to me.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 3: I like her. She did a great job. Millie Alcock.
Speaker 2: Also, so as a father, I got a five year old.
Speaker 2: I brought him to see Superman. He's not seeing this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you need to be like nine or ten.
Speaker 2: I think it might be twelve thirteen. I think that
Speaker 2: might be if you're thinking of what age to bring
Speaker 2: a kid to it. Obviously it depends on their maturity
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But the amount of like, you know, weapons,
Speaker 2: although not as much gun play as some other movies,
Speaker 2: which is it's.
Speaker 4: Violent but more fistfighting, there are some weapons. There's a
Speaker 4: couple of swears. I think thematically, though, the whole slave
Speaker 4: bride sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Depression that with. Yeah, that's a lot of heavy tones.
Speaker 4: So in that respect, maturity wise, you kind of have
Speaker 4: to be pret.
Speaker 2: And that also then gets into the box office of
Speaker 2: like you're cutting out a large amount of people that
Speaker 2: would go to a superhero movie.
Speaker 3: I get that part.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they ever planned on this making
Speaker 4: two billion dollars, though, I think it's a good table
Speaker 4: set for the character and helps expand the universe in
Speaker 4: necessary ways.
Speaker 2: This is a good movie, and I wanted to do
Speaker 2: just well enough to not offset or make them change
Speaker 2: their mind about any of their other ideas moving forward.
