Supergirl is horribly badly wrong (says the guy who hasn't even seen it).

James Gunn’s new DCU was supposed to save the superhero genre, but instead, Supergirl has become a lightning rod for structural blockbuster fatigue and exhausting, bad-faith internet toxicity. In this episode of Horribly Badly Wrong, I lose my mind while attempting to dissect why a $150M+ price tag guarantees creative failure, why Zazie Beetz’s They Will Kill You beats the "no one wants female-led superhero" accusations, and how the real villain is Hollywood's obsession over factory-farmed filmmaking.
