Hollywood has been out if ideas for years. The only reason the superhero movies were doing good was because they were telling stories from the 70’s to early 90’s that before cgi they couldn’t put on the big screen.
Now they are through with those, here comes the SJW / NPC stories and the superhero movie crash.

"In past decades, a superhero movie with a female title character was considered box-office kryptonite in most Hollywood circles. That view was only reinforced by radioactive failures like Supergirl (1984), Tank Girl (1994), Catwoman (2004) and Elektra (2005)."
To be fair, Supergirl was a terrible movie. I had heard that Christopher Reeve was to reprise his role as Superman but shortly before shooting began he withdrew causing the script to be rewritten pretty much as the movie was being shot.
A version of that rumor, #15 at: https://screenrant.com/supergirl-worst-movie-shocking-trivia-facts/
From that same site is this tidbit:
"Supergirl became the lowest-grossing installment of the “Super” franchise with only a $14.3 million domestic take. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace did slightly better in the summer of 1987 with a $15.7 million take in the United States."
I do recall seeing Supergirl with the then wife on opening Sunday in Indianapolis, admittedly, movies on Sundays have always had low attendance, but there were only two other people in the audience for this showing.
Which, btw, tied with our experience with Grease II.
And, I remain sufficiently geeky to own a copy of the newly released "Warner Archive" Supergirl BluRay. (Grease II didn't make the cut)
I always wondered what happened with III and IV with the Christopher Reeve movies. They had lots of comic book villains to choose from, and they didn’t spare with the special effects; no chance of bringing Brainiac, Bizarro or even Darkseid into the theaters back then? (The way they did III, they could have thrown Mxyzptlk in there too.)
Between her and Yvonne Craig there were some very definite reasons why the adolescent me watched the Bat shows on the Bat Channel twice a week.
Sorry, but I’m done with these kick-ass women. It was great in the day of Buffy. But we’re saturated with it.
Many of the super hero women don’t have super powers which makes me roll my eyes so far back, I can see inside my nasal cavity. And yet they can take on 10 bad dudes at once. I finally can NOT suspend my disbelief. This is too much to ask.
The CW Supergirl show is a complete abomination.
The Hollywood producers will discover that they will eventually lose their most lucrative audience: MALES.
I’m just sick and tired of the feminist agenda. A perversion of EVERYTHING.
Something going on between Catwoman and Batgirl.
Get lost boys!
Get "WOKE", go BROKE.
Oh they were this crazy in the 70s to 2000s. How many different timelines did the X-Men visit/ get visited from? Now Marvel was cleaner than DC which had to have an entire Crisis to reduce their parallel worlds to something vaguely manageable. But Marvel had their fun.
Fine, make as many as you want, but stop giving male characters sex changes. Captain Marvel was a guy. A boring guy with uninspired comic books, sure, but still a guy.
OMG, you’re right. I’m a little shaken, not stirred.
These are all second banana, B-list characters. Nobody cares about any of them except Harley Quinn and even she is just the Jokers henchman.
This is a slide show I made to promote my screenplay. Have been nominated 3 times for best screenplay in contests, yet no producer will look at it. They say “it would be to expensive to make”. Well you can judge for yourselves if it would make a great movie.

Jessica Drew is the one true Spiderwoman though.
Just as John Perwee was the proper Doctor Who.
Gaurdians of the Galaxy were D list characters. 2 highly profitable movies later...
Increasingly, movie makers use their craft to produce their fantasies onto film.
It’s an alternate reality where grrrrl power trumps all and leftwing values are embraced and vindicated. Such storylines have no basis in reality but serve to stroke the fragile self-esteem of Hollywood types.
