Supergirl brings the Woman of Tomorrow on our screens. Milly Alcock's Kara Zol-El is taking forward her first impression which she gave to us after crash-landing at the Fortress of Solitude towards the end
of Superman. She appeared as the drunk cousin of Clark Kent who starts cursing him at a blink and wins hearts. Now, the last daughter of Krypton is back with her full fledged movie. She is not like her brother. Infact, she is not like any other DC hero we've seen so far. The trailer showed how Kara Zol-El's unabashed 23rd birthday celebration turns unexpectedly dark, when she gets embroiled in a murderous quest for revenge after meeting a young woman named Ruthye.ALSO READ: Supergirl Trailer: Milly Alcock As Kara Zor-El Takes DC Fans On Unexpected, Twisted, Funny Adventures - WATCH
Supergirl X Reactions
Ever since the trailer of
Supergirl dropped, social media has kept buzzinf with reactions. One user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Finally Supergirl done right she is her own character instead of a female Clark Kent." A second one said, "June 26th can't come soon enough! The DCU is shaping up to be something really special." A third reaction read, "Is it too early to say the greatest superhero movie of all time is incoming?" A fan screamed, "We are finally getting the "Woman of Tomorrow" adaptation where she’s traversing the galaxy with a sword and a bus ticket. Cinema is back."

Many, however reacted to how her first glimpse had

The movie is full of interspatial visuals, weird looking aliens and a group of disparate misfits who are anxious, unexpected yet powerful.A netizen drew comparison and wrote, "So, Guardians of the Galaxy, but with more girlbosses." A user posted, "James Gunn asks audiences how many times can he make the same movie before they get bored." One more read, "This does feel and look a lot like guardians of the galaxy for better or worse." One said, "Ultra-realistic Disney movie quality trailer for a 'Guardians of the Galaxy' style movie, but replace Peter Quill with Supergirl (Milly Alcock) and add Krypto from Superman (2025)."
In defence...
A fan however defended saying, "Loved it!! And anyone sh*tting on it because they think it looks Guardians of the Galaxy can go stick their head in a tub of ice water. Like it’s a bad thing to evoke the energy or vibe of what is arguably one of the greatest superhero trilogies ever. These people…"
