Originally a Patreon special, Gabe and Connor defend SUPERGIRL, which bombed so horribly with critics and audiences that it derailed plans for a cinematic universe. Apparently, audiences weren't too keen on Faye Dunaway's ultra-campy villain or the bizarre storyline. Even the presence of venerated actors like Peter O'Toole couldn't save this movie, which has remained one of the most infamous comic book adaptations.
But after Helen Slater's "cameo" in THE FLASH, it's time to look back at this supposed disaster and asks the hard questions like: does this have more egregious product placement than MAN OF STEEL? Is this movie a Jim Henson production with actors instead of puppets? Did Helen Slater have potential as Kara? And most importantly, why do people like it when Robocop hits assaulters in the groin... but not when Supergirl does it?
