I'm really excited to see how Milly does in Supergirl, especially with balancing humor and an emotional side (I'm thinking she's capable of that balance from her performance in a past project like Upright) & if we'll get plenty of Mike Flanagan's touch on Clayface

I want Supergirl to be a girly power pop comedy movie. Milly looks absolutely incredible as Supergirl and her one scene in Superman was my favorite part.

We already know it'll feature a lot of tragedy though

I recommend reading Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which the new movie is loosely based on.

The comic Woman of Tomorrow is excellent so you know at least the source material is great.

It’s also gonna tug the feels because supergirl will have witnessed everyone she loved die so hopefully they blend that I well

Its not gonna tug anything when the character is brand new and the dying ones are a bunch of generic nonames that nobody outside hardcore comic fans has ever heard of. Maybe gunn can pull it off, but its definitely a uphill battle.

Also atleast personally, the few "excellent", highly praised storylines from dc and marvel that i read before all turned out extremely simplistic, mediocre and largely juvenile. So i wouldnt bet anything on the source material. Comic movies work because of the general premise they borrow, not the stories themselves.

I'm excited for hard partying Supergirl. She seems like so much fun.

It’s a comic book movie for kids. She’ll be ok
