What Went Wrong with Supergirl?

from Breakdowns & Blockbusters Hosted by Breakdowns & Blockbusters

Why did Supergirl bomb at the box office and what does its failure reveal about James Gunn’s new DC Universe? This breakdown examines the film’s 54% Rotten Tomatoes score, massive budget, marketing problems, poor test screenings, reshoots, competing cuts and reported creative conflict between James Gunn and director Craig Gillespie. We also explore how writer Ana Nogueira seemingly misinterpreted the ending of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, why the movie fundamentally changed the comic’s message and whether DC Studios is already repeating the Snyderverse’s biggest mistakes. ⏱️TIMESTAMPS⏱️0:00 Intro1:04 Why Supergirl After Superman?2:17 Female Led Superhero Movies4:10 Box Office6:05 Behind the Scenes Drama8:48 Changes From the Comic 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this: https://shorturl.at/atCD9 #supergirl #dcu #jamesgunn Breakdowns & Blockbusters is represented by Digital Fox Talent.
