    A poorly behaved Pomeranian is embarrassing, but at the end of the day you can pick it up to stop it from biting anything. A poorly behaved super dog is an mass casualty event waiting to happen. Supes brings him along in the Superman movie because he's "worried about the cows" and it's played for a laugh. I'd be much more worried about him getting excited and playing too rough with people, or cars, or planes.

      I'm not a dog person. The aggressively friendly kind of dog, like this, is not cute to me, it's terrifying. I hope it stops being normalized.

    This looks incredible, a lot of Firefly meets Blade Runner vibes, I was going to say Star Wars but even the new Star Wars are just Firefly fanfiction. This is exciting. Also: since when are teaser...

    Also: since when are teaser trailers a proper two minute trailer, what is it "teasing?"

    Also also: since when are movie trailers over two minutes long

        I knew we had started toward this point, but I feel just a few years ago a teaser was still just a micro-trailer instead of a literal glimpse like it used to be words have lost all meaning

          Yeah, I definitely remember when the idea of a teaser trailer first came into fruition. Jurassic World is one of the first ones I remember seeing where it was a 20 second tease for the trailer...

          I just checked, Black Panther’s teaser trailer is just under 2 minutes and Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker have teaser trailers over two minutes, and those released a year after Panther. So them as like an actual tease lasted only about two years before they just became trailers outright.

      A teaser is a trailer that doesn't give away plot points. Just vague quips and scenery to set a tone.

    You guys don’t know how much I wished Superman looked like this lol. Gillespie is great. I like I Tonya and Cruella, the latter of which is so visually rich so I was on board when he was announced

      Spoiler, I don’t think it’s a big deal but people sometimes get mad It’s confirmed that Jason Mamoa is playing Lobo in this.

      It's called Lobo in English too? I thought it was a translation to Portuguese my whole life! Lobo in Portuguese means "wolf".

    I wonder how prominent the costume will be. They are making supergirl more human, with darker themes, but the cartoonish costume kind of ruins that.

      The costume (and main plot elements) is taken directly from Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which was pretty thematically dark itself, and Gunn admitted was his primary inspiration for the film.

    Looks okay. Not incredible, but not completely generic either. I think I saw one set that is not entirely blue screen. Milly Alcock has an interesting face and carries herself well. She's the best thing in this trailer for me. I'm not very interested in watching Supergirl on another planet, the cinematic Supe* family only really makes sense on Earth for me. Yes, I know comic book Superman had plenty of stories in space, but comics have way more stories and arcs, so that's okay.

      Superman is basically the opposite of that. My guess is Supergirl will be working through a lot of her trauma in this one and come out more heroic, but still “edgier” than Supes.

I get that the writers would want to differentiate her from the more optimistic take on Superman this time around, but my enbcounters with Supergirl in the DCAU and the CW show has been that if anything she's more naive and optimistic than he is, and gets to get away with it due to her youth. Seeing her being a drunken wreck is the opposite of
