While I don’t disagree with you that some people are chronically on-line, I don’t believe most movies are fine. This one isn’t and the post says she brought a child to see it which makes me think it’s a democrat troll.

*****SPOILERS****

“Kara Zor-El has just turned 23. But as she wakes bleary eyed after yet another night of drunken booze-swilling on some red-sunned planet, she feels so, so much older.

Kara may be known back on Earth as the cousin of Superman—you know, the guy who fights for truth, justice and all that junk—but out here she’s just another creature from some distant planet. Leave her alone and let her get blitzed, night after night.

Of course, Kara’s cousin, Clark, may regularly call and encourage her to finish up her birthday celebration and head on “home,” but that’s the rub for Kara. Earth isn’t her home.

Kara’s home was destroyed. She watched the only people she ever cared about die from kryptonite poisoning. Kara saw it all before her father sent her rocketing off to follow in Clark’s path. And her pain and loss doesn’t fade, no matter how “super” she may be under Earth’s yellow sun.

So out here, a red sun reduces Kara’s ability to leap a tall building with a single bound. It keeps her grounded. It lets her get drunk enough to forget. Well, if not forget, it lets Kara numb herself at the very least.

Then the girl shows up. This teen stomps into the grimy space pub where Kara is drinking and declares that she is Ruthye Marye Knoll and she seeks revenge on one Krem of the Yellow Hills, a murderous brigand who killed my family! Kara couldn’t care less about brigands or local tragedies. “Not my monkeys, not my circus,” Kara mumbles to her ever-faithful dog, Krypto.

But then some huge alien thug slaps the girl aside and takes the finely crafted sword that she’s offering as payment for her revenge quest. And that just feels rude. So Kara gets up and, after some, uh, discussion, she pulps the muscular alien’s face and gives the slapped-down girl her sword back.

Back to the drinking.

However, Ruthye Marye Knoll isn’t so easily dissuaded. It seems that she has decided upon her champion: the valiant woman with gold, tangled hair who’s about to vomit over in the corner.

Does Kara have even the slightest inkling to help this long-winded girl? Nope. Does Kara feel sorry for her? Not much. But after a turn of events where this “Krem of the Yellow Hills” ends up poisoning Krypto and stealing Kara’s ship, well, it looks like she and Ruthye are heading in the same direction anyway.

Besides, this kid is bound to get herself killed while waving that sword around and calling for revenge. So Kara decides she should take this girl under her wing long enough to keep her alive—and get her to pipe down.

I mean, it’s not following truth and justice or anything, but it seems like the right thing to do at the moment. Kara just needs to stay sober for a little while.

(Belch.) At least she can try.”
