The James Gunn led DCU seems to have hit its first snag since his takeover in 2023 as audiences and critics are divided on this in a way that seems more than a little absurd. It’s not that I find it impossible for Gunn and co to make a less than stellar movie, but opinions on this are varied enough that I start to wonder what’s really going on under the hood that brought us to this point. Is this a misunderstood gem that audiences were just unable to fully connect with, or is this just as bad as some are saying it is? Let’s find out!!
Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) is your typical twenty-something Gen-Z mess. She grew up seeing everything she knew and loved slowly die away before getting thrust into adulthood with a mandate to save the world, and frankly, she’s not in the mood for any of it. Rather than join her cousin Kal-El (David Corenswet) in the superhero business, she travels the universe with her dog Krypto to find rad parties to crash and calm meadows to nurse her hangovers. However, she can’t seem to outrun all the jerks in the world, and an altercation with a nasty Brigand (Matthias Schoenaerts) leaves Krypto in a bad spot and Kara with only a few days to set things right. The journey will prove difficult, especially with a fellow vengeance seeker Ruthye (Eve Ridley) tagging along and being questionably useful, but with so much on the line, Kara has no choice but to step up to the plate and fight for those she cares about. Will this journey prove to her that she can be just as heroic as her cousin on Earth? What tragedy has brought her to this place, and can she ever find peace from the ghosts that haunt her every day? Maybe it’s not even that complicated; perhaps she just wants to chill and have fun! You ever think of that, Clark!?
