Based on the Cinemacon reactions from normally favorable media sources, Supergirl is looking bad.
Putting aside that none of the actors were prepped for their presentation, apparently the scene they showed dragged on and was just generally received very poorly by the media members who were present.
Which was personally disappointing for me to hear as I like Millie Alcock, and thought the trailers have looked decent so far.
Bummer.
Wait, so you're basing your opinion on people who based their opinion on one scene? Really?
Cinemacon is an industry convention. Studios present there to get industry hype from both critics, and theater owners, for their upcoming movies.
DC picked the scene they thought was best able to sell the movie and generate buzz, and it was universally disliked.
That's a problem.
And that's just what's confirmed from this one convention. If you read other reports, the film has had significantly more test screenings than usual, because all its various cuts are being received poorly and they keep trying to recut it into a viable product for release.
We sure it's not just the usual misogyny? (Note that I am not familiar with the Cinemacon audience.)
The panel I saw was your typical Hollywood liberal media critics and reporters.
Yeah, when an ex tells you not that they've changed, but that it was all someone else's fault...
These fucking wannabe-guillotine-testers went so far as to publicize their claim unprompted, too. (Oh, wow. The veracity? Mmf. Unassailable.🤌🏼)
Well. Shit. That's good and dead, innit.
... What? That's literally the exact opposite of what Safran said. He clearly positioned it as the fault of the industry – making zero attempt to distance DC Studios from the blame – and then claimed that they had changed with Supergirl.
Whether you believe the claim they've changed is categorically separate from (if I'm reading your comment right, because honestly it's a bit incoherent) claiming Safran shifted blame elsewhere and purported not to have changed.
You're probably right. I'm thankfully enjoying a nice Blue Dream. 😝🤷🏼♂️
I do love that wannabe insult 🤣
