Similar thing happened with Superman including the composer changes which resulted in a hybrid score from both composers. Superman turned out great so I’m hopeful that this will also be good and Gunn just likes testing out different versions. Although I wish Junkie XL (Mad Max Fury Road) stayed on as the main composer
Sounds not very great. I like Milly Alcock a lot, thought she was the best part of HotD and her show from some years ago was pretty good too. Unlike other commenters here I really didn't care for the recent Superman film though so now my hopes for this one are pretty much gone entirely 😕
You should check out the Australian comedy series Upright. Alcock stars with Tim Minchin. It's a delight.
That's the one yes! Especially season 1
I don’t know what’s normal for a movie, so maybe yikes or maybe way to do the due diligence? I know I’m looking forward to it after how much I enjoyed Superman.
I thought Gunn's Superman was fine but not particularly good of a Superman story.
It seemed to me after watching the after credits scene that this is probably more the kind of movie Gunn would rather have made from the start, a version of Superman who swears and drinks and likes to party. So I imagine this film will turn out pretty good and will get a positive response from audiences.
Personally though, I already like vanilla Superman and dont need to see the edgy teenage version, so I doubt Ill end up watching this one.
This isn't Superman, this is Supergirl, and the "teenager who likes to drink and party" portrayal is right in line with the Supergirl story they are adapting.
Yes, thats what Im saying. This is Supergirl, and Im not as much a fan of that type of story, but for people who are I imagine it will turn out well because its better suited to what I think Gunn wanted to do in the first place.
It's great that they're adapting a comic book. But the reason comics can have interesting alternate versions of the characters is that they have multiple Earths and multiple concurrent titles for each hero. On film, you only get one at a time, so perhaps it would be best to just go for the vanilla version.
I do love this Supergirl's presence on screen. But I'm not very interested in an adventure on some random planet with some random aliens.
I found it difficut to have an emotional connection to Gunn's Superman. Although I understand that some viewers are tired of origin stories, jumping straight to CGI action can make a movie feel like abstract art.
I dont think it did a great job with that either. The easiest way to humanize Clark in the film would be in his interactions with Lois Lane, but instead the movie spends most of their time together on a meaningless fight.
I don't think Gunn fully understood that, even though we already love this character and even though we already know his origin story, it was his job to make us fall in love with him again. That is a difficult job; many have failed both in comics and other media. But it is an essential job: they have to show why I should love this Superman as much as I loved the ones that came before.
