I am seriously considering making SUPERGIRL number one on the Best of 2026 list- not because its a great movie- it's not-it's flawed (a review is coming). I want to put it at the top of the list becuase the little girls at the screening I attended- and one little girl in full Supergirl costume- came out of the screening happy, engaged and running around as if they were the hero on the screen. Rarely have I ever seen such engagement from an audience not such absolute joy.
To all the basement dwelling misogynists and movie fan boys and bros who wanted to piss on the film - you're absolutely screwed. The film is not going anywhere.
SUPERGIRL is going to be a cult hit long term and Milly Alcock is going to be someone generations of girls look up to. Trust me this film is going to find it's audience and blossm. It's audience is going to be all the marginalized little girls who don't feel they fit in and who feel broken and like they don't belong. This is a film for all the girls who have to take the abuse from the dick heads and nimrods like the one throwing brickbats at the film and delighting in the "failure" of a female headed film. This is a film that is going to show them that they can stand up, they can fight back and that they can be good even if they aren't polite or nice.
SUPERGIRL will, in the long term, change lives and live deeply in the hearts of a hell of a lot of people once they discover it.
I know DC may not like that short term, but long term they have a cash cow if they want it.
