Similar thing happened with me. Gunns Superman is basically meant as a mindless popcorn film, I think Gunn even said that 'fast food' films had their place in cinema, specifically referring to Superman. If you take it at that level it's a lot of fun. Haven't heard great things about Supergirl though...
I’m not a huge superman fan anyway. I’ve always been batman through and through with DC but Man of Steel touched my heart. I fukin love that film. Love Cavill as supes. But I do praise Gunn for bringing the more wackier parts of comic books and making it work on film like with the Guardians trilogy, suicide squad (which all 4 of those I adore) and now Superman.
He does go there with the mental little characters and stuff like that and for me it works. Not many directors go there or can handle the bizarre but I think Gunn does handle the wackiness well. But yeah Supergirl isn’t sounding great at the moment. But also I don’t know if this is the bitter hate reviews because of that group of YouTubers that want it to fail or if it’s just bad. I think the clips I’ve seen look great personally. So we’ll see. Regardless of how bad it is I’m going to own a Manta copy anyway and most likely a WWA to go on my superhero/ comic book film shelf
Probably because they don't have any copies paid for yet.
Saw this earlier, and I won't say it blew me away, but I definitely liked it way more than Superman. It really helps that I actually like Milly/Kara's character, and the film wasn't as painfully fluffy as Superman was either.
Positives - Kara/Milly is very likeable. Lobo/Momoa is awesome. The Krypton history segments are interesting. It's a lot like GOTG. It's actually a well made film, with no dodgy filming techniques or cgi.
Negatives - It's so much like GOTG (just without the fire group chemistry) that it isn't particularly interesting. The plot is pretty generic. It isn't so much that the villain is "bad", but there just isn't much relevance or connection to supergirl to make him/them remotely menacing.

Mixed, from what I’ve seen. But see the movie for yourself and be your own judge.
I appreciate the point you’re trying to make but…
Supergirl is supposed to be a crowd pleaser, Hereditary... maybe not so much.
