6 Thoughts on Supergirl (Review)
I love last year’s Superman movie. I love James Gunn films. I love Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. So I was very excited to see the new Supergirl film. I’m excited to see a lot of superhero movies. But I have full faith in James Gunn and company to pull of a new, expanding DC Universe of movies. Superman was a great start! Let’s keep it going! Let’s have more fun!
Movie Rating: 4/10 – Pretty Bad
I wanted to like Supergirl. The online discourse is very negative around this film for the usual reasons. And if it needs to be said, I’ll say it right now: that’s all idiot nonsense. Anyone that uses the word ‘woke’ unironically — especially to bash a movie for having a female lead — is not a good person. So if it needed to be said: I am not that kind of person or pop culture afficionado. I got no problem with Milly Alcock. I got no problem with Supergirl as a character. I’m not about that life. I just didn’t care for this movie.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of Supergirl. Expect FULL SPOILERS for both the movie and the comic, Woman of Tomorrow. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!

Sorry I haven’t posted more over the past few days, and missed this weekend’s comic book reviews. Not only am I having a busy week at work, but I also came down with a cold on top of that. So man…just haven’t been in a posting mood. I think the cold dulled my sense of artistic appreciation. I went and saw Project: Hail Mary while sick, and…eh. It was fine.
Anyway, yesterday we got two big trailers for a couple big movies this summer.
First up is Supergirl, which a fuller trailer that looks pretty cool.
I am fully on board with this movie. I loved Superman last summer, and I love what they’re doing with Supergirl. I also very much love the comic this movie is based on, Woman of Tomorrow. Honestly, watching that trailer, I’m a little worried that I’m going to be too much of a stickler for the comic. I hope that’s not the case and I can just sit back and enjoy this Supergirl movie, which should be a hoot.
Supergirl comes to theaters on June 26.
We’ve also got a new Masters of the Universe Trailer.
I think it looks great! I devoured all those toy commercial cartoons in the 1980s, as a wee lad. Ninja Turtles was top of the heap for me, but I definitely watched He-Man and had a few of the toys. And I very much like that this movie looks like a big toy commercial. Bright, colorful, full of action and characters; it’s not shying away from the lore. I’m not a stickler for He-Man lore, but I think this should be a really fun way to approach this film. Embrace the camp.
Masters of the Universe comes to theaters on June 5! So it’s gonna be a fun June.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/18/24
Sorry I missed reviews last week, everybody. I had a busy end of week and just couldn’t make room for reviews. Fortunately, I’m in the new phase where I go easier on myself for not hitting deadlines. But I did read a couple of comics this week, so let’s do another one of these!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Action Comics #1065 for another excellent chapter of the House of Brainiac storyline. Good times all around with that one!
Meanwhile, I was on vacation this week and spent my time playing God of War: Ragnarok, which is just as awesome and as much fun as the previous game. I finished the Knuckles TV show and it was fine, definitely in line with the Sonic movies. I loved Velma season 2. I enjoyed The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. And I hope to see the Furiosa movie next weekend! Good times all around for me.
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #1065 and ThunderCats #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/20/24
Hello everyone! If you didn’t see my post earlier this week, I’m thinking of backing off a bit on writing so much for this blog. While I still love reading and writing about comics, I want to lighten up on the rigid schedule I’ve set for myself to get everything read and reviewed. There were a bunch of good comics this week, like more Nightwing and Superman, so I wanted to review them. But things may change going forward.
Comic Book of the Week is Wonder Woman #8 for just another phenomenal chapter to this gripping ongoing story! New storyline kicks off with style.
Meanwhile, I loved the Fallout TV show, I’m loving the X-Men cartoon and I’m very much enjoying Shogun. So all is well with me in TV land. I’m hoping to spend this weekend finally starting God of War: Ragnarok, which I got for free when I bought my Playstation 5. I expect that game to be a hoot!
Comic Reviews: Nightwing #300, Superman #13 and Wonder Woman #8.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/13/24
My readership numbers have been going down lately. Is anybody actually reading and enjoying these reviews? I know I don’t have any particularly interesting insights, but I do enjoy talking about comics. Including ThunderCats and Transformers!
Comic Book of the Week is Action Comics #1064, kicking off an awesome new Superman story that was teased some time ago.
Meanwhile, I’m still recovering from Episode 5 of X-Men ’97. Holy heck this show is good! And i’ve started watching Fallout, which is awesome. We’re feasting good these days! In the video game world, a friend of mine got me onto Evil Genius 2, which is a fun base-builder. It’s a nice game to lose a couple hours to.
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #1064, ThunderCats #3 and Transformers #7.
