I don’t know why, but I feel the Supergirl movie is trying to give off a vibe similar to James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

Nah.

outside_josh92025-12-12 19:04

I legit thought the same thing when I saw the teaser. “Oh so just guardians with super girl?”

JaesopPop2025-12-12 19:06

I mean, the whole team thing is sorta important in those movies.

outside_josh92025-12-12 19:07

It’s not the team aspect. It’s stylistic choices. It’s giving ravenger feud.

JaesopPop2025-12-12 19:09

It’s a grimy space setting.

No-Leadership96762025-12-12 19:23

there are barely any space superhero flicks out there apart from gotg so its sure to draw comparisions even when there arent any .

Gwynex2025-12-12 19:05

that’s why I’m not excited for it

akbane2025-12-12 19:12

Milly Alcock being a terrible actress is why im not excited about it, but also this, and many other reasons.

JaesopPop2025-12-12 19:14

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, however yours is incorrect.

akbane2025-12-12 19:26

I guess bring on the downvotes then?

Gwynex2025-12-12 19:18

I definitely don’t think she’s a bad actor. She’s actually great though it just feels like another gotg movie and I got bored of this style

akbane2025-12-12 19:28

The style is great, for GOTG, but definitely does not need to be reused for this project.

JaesopPop2025-12-12 20:02

It's adapting an existing comic.

No-Leadership96762025-12-12 19:24

i can tell you havent even seen any of her work .

akbane2025-12-12 19:32

Enough to know Im not a fan. HoD being the most recent, what a snore fest of a performance.

Gwynex2025-12-12 19:14

people downvoted me but I feel like James Gunn’s aesthetic just bored me. I’d not be excited for another gotg movie too. They feel copy paste and gotg3 was the last one I was looking forward to.

No-Leadership96762025-12-12 19:28

copy paste ?? you havent even seen this movie and call it a copy paste plus gunn isnt even involved with this film , sure it has the same vibe in 2-3 shots but thats just it , the story could be so much more in the whole movie .

Gwynex2025-12-12 19:31

I’m not saying the MOVIE is copy paste I say the TRAILER feels like it’s a copy paste. Ofc I cannot give my ultimate opinion about the movie before I see it. The trailer must give you an opinion about the thing you’re gonna see and I see that gotg vibe from the trailer. My opinions might change after the movie. Please read before comment.

NeoZ33D2025-12-12 19:05

Def gave off that kinda vibe. Thought so on the first watch..confirmed by the fourth.

My_Favourite_Pen2025-12-12 19:06

> I don’t know why

Could it be because its set in a universe made by James Gunn?

dyrannn2025-12-12 19:09

Redditor discovers artists have styles

Real_Walk53842025-12-12 19:13

And that sometimes they just make the same thing over and over.

SuccinctEarth072025-12-12 19:17

Are you aware James gunn is neither the director or the writer of this film?

It's more like they are both films set in space not on earth

Real_Walk53842025-12-12 19:21

Well achtually!

AcademicComplaint6972025-12-13 15:32

you do realize that argument is invalid when it’s admittedly set in the same universe as James Gunn, so YES, the style is deliberate. no need to be a pack rat and repeat the same weak points everyone is saying

dyrannn2025-12-13 22:19

Kevin fiege is not the director of a single film of the MCU, and yet is entirely credited with its direction

Overall style and vibe *is* part of the general direction of the studio. The reason it looks like a James Gunn movie is because James Gunn has a style and is at the head of the studio. It’s not a crazy concept.

SuccinctEarth072025-12-12 19:18

Are you aware James gunn is neither the director or the writer of this film?

It's more like they are both films set in space not on earth

ClassiFried862025-12-12 19:14

Wait til they find about Aaron Sorkin.

you must be a fan of Picasso!

graveybrains2025-12-12 19:11

I don't know why, but I feel OP is trying to give off a vibe similar to the record company executive who sued John Fogerty for sounding too much like Creedence Clearwater Revival

JOBBYNUTS2025-12-12 19:15

I get that reference. Ouch... my arthritis flared up while I typed that with double spaces and a period.

graveybrains2025-12-12 19:25

Don't feel too bad, it was only 1985 (😂) even though it feels like something that should have happened in the 60s.

akbane2025-12-12 19:14

It just goes to show Gunn isn't as original as we all thought. Dont get me wrong I LOVE GOTG (alot), but this seems really lazy and very underwhelming.

No-Leadership96762025-12-12 19:21

bruh this doesnt look like a copy paste of gotg , gunn wasnt even involved in this movie in any way . sure it gives of the same vibe but we have barely seen like even half a percent of the movie , its a space it adventure and there are barely any space adventure superhero flicks out there apart from guardians and its sure to draw comparisions even when they arent even that similar .

annoyingrelieve2025-12-12 19:35

Carries a walkmen listens to 80s pop music thats straight up quill the villians even look like ravagers

No-Leadership96762025-12-12 19:38

pretty sure there will be a canon explanation for the walkman and thats not a copy paste of quill in any way ( sure it may resemble his vibe ) but the villians are literally the aliens in the comic bud .

UnpluggedUnfettered2025-12-12 19:25

There's just no telli

>Gunn recently told Rolling Stone that “Supergirl especially is a space adventure. [It’s like Guardians of the Galaxy](https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65521330/)”.

MisterTheKid2025-12-12 19:06

quite an original thought.

unsupported2025-12-12 19:06

The fight which appeared to be off earth reminded me of Nowhere without the neon, when Guardians ran it. Is Gunn double dipping on set design?

TrueLegateDamar2025-12-12 19:06

The location most of the trailer is set in feels like Knowhere.

annoyingrelieve2025-12-12 19:18

Walkman, classis pop music, cgi cute animal gunn loves these tropes

Calligrapher_Antique2025-12-12 19:08

Literally a million snyderbros on twitter right now with the same complaint.

code_archeologist2025-12-12 19:18

Have they started review bombing the movie yet?

Androgynouself_4202025-12-12 19:31

Snyderverse fans complaining about an director/producers movies looking the same is pretty rich.

ZardozSama2025-12-12 19:10

I think it is a side effect of how Gunn prefers to portray any kind of adventure in space with humanoid aliens.

END COMMUNICATION

No-Leadership96762025-12-12 19:22

gunn isnt directing or writing it buddy and you guys are making these dumb conclusion by barely looking at like 5 % of the actual movie .

Androgynouself_4202025-12-12 19:32

That really isn’t Gunn specific that’s been a thing for most of sci fi history, especially in visual mediums.

_temp_user2025-12-12 19:10

I like the idea of a Super not on Earth. Still feels fresh to me

RefinedBean2025-12-12 19:10

He's got a style. There'll be a music-video fight scene in this for sure.

It's like going to the same restaurant a lot, but at least this restaurant is consistently good. The menu just doesn't change too much.

iBossk2025-12-12 19:27

He did not write nor direct it.

one random person says this, then the entire delulu fandom follows like a delulu cult 🤡

itsmesgr2025-12-12 19:29

Brother, seriously, just because one person feels that way doesn’t mean I can’t feel it too.We all feel the same because it’s similar for everyone.

Skytte-2025-12-12 19:11

GOTG invented space and headphones.

firedino12452025-12-12 19:11

This literally feels Guardians of the Galaxy but with Supergirl. Still kinda hopeful because James Gunn knows his art.

captaincavalrycam2025-12-12 19:11

Same! I was so surprised to find out Gunn didn’t write or direct it, seemed very much to be trying to imitate his style/specifically Guardians

Pheonyx19742025-12-12 19:13

I watched the trailer. Such an insult to the character!!!

fast_flashdash2025-12-12 19:14

You’re joking right

Pheonyx19742025-12-12 19:16

Nope. Gunn’s Supergirl is a drunk, party girl, pissed at the universe in the trailer.

fast_flashdash2025-12-12 19:23

It’s based off her most famous comic of all time. Ignorant as hell.

Pheonyx19742025-12-12 19:24

Out of the past 30 years if supergirl comics, it must be the ONLY storyline I’ve not read. Sorry, but Kara Zor-El was best played by Benoist.

Pheonyx19742025-12-12 19:29

Then comes Vandervoort. Slater doesn’t rate because she played a 17 year old behaving like a 13 year old kids.

Formal-Opposite-83422025-12-12 19:38

K its still based on a comic. Doesn't help ur claim that shes an insult.

No-Leadership96762025-12-12 19:31

thats exactly how she was in the woman of tommorow comic and thats exactly what a person with survivors guilt looks like , if anything its comic accuracy , read the freaking comics or just go back to the snyder sub you came from .

Pheonyx19742025-12-12 19:31

lol. A Gunnster…. Figures.

No-Leadership96762025-12-12 19:35

sure keep hating snyderbot , we know you never read comics and never understood the character , you are judging a movie and character byt this looking at one teaser so your opinion dont matter anyway .

Pheonyx19742025-12-12 19:41

I’m no Snyder fan. The Arrowverse was my home for more than a decade. Best portrayals (except Superman and Lois) of the characters on screen. And it was maintained for a DECADE. Superman and Lois took to many steps away from the supporting characters and villains. Gunn-verse won’t last more than 5 years from Superman’s release.

Pheonyx19742025-12-12 19:36

I found Superman (2025) to be a shitty portrayal of Lex Luthor. Guy Gardner was spot on. Lois Lane was not the strong woman she is in the comics, OMG, talk about being an indecisive portrayal of a woman. Misogynistic much?

Pheonyx19742025-12-12 19:43

I know first hand what having survivors guilt is.

shanejayell2025-12-12 19:14

Maybe go read the Supergirl comic it's based on? The vibe was there long before he got the job.

graveybrains2025-12-12 19:14

Hey, the dog's in it. That's pretty much all I care about. 😂

It's a Gunn produced movie, just produced. He didn't write or direct it

itsmesgr2025-12-12 19:19

[deleted]

SkekJay2025-12-12 19:22

I have a feeling some people don't. And it kinda just feels like a space mining town that part I think you're on about, which is what Knowhere was. Still, superhero movie in space ≠ GOTG every time. But this time kinda does, a little. But I still get different enough vibes and the film is based off a book which was based off True Grit.

smilesmoralez2025-12-12 19:27

Facts, do you think anyone here cares about facts, or source materials. The thread is new, the misogynists haven't even got here yet.

SkekJay2025-12-12 19:30

I have no idea if you're on my side or an entirely different side...

smilesmoralez2025-12-12 19:33

Pretty sure on your side since you're pointing out that it's not a Gunn film

SkekJay2025-12-12 19:35

I got very lost in the middle part. But like, none of the DCU coming out next year is a Gunn project, he's just producing the content. So this is going to be a fun discussion every time we get new looks at literally anything next year.

smilesmoralez2025-12-12 21:00

Yep

SkekJay2025-12-12 22:30

At least we got some footage for Lanterns

smilesmoralez2025-12-12 23:09

Where's lanterns footage?

SkekJay2025-12-12 23:11

Think it was part of a HBO Max looking forward trailer. Most of it is just Hal putting John's ring on a dashboard and then jumping out the car as it goes over a cliff. It's a couple other bits of footage but it's mostly explaining why the hell Hal and John have been walking down that desert road for like a year

smilesmoralez2025-12-12 23:12

Thanks for the heads up, I'll go check it out

Henona2025-12-12 19:16

I'm gonna say it. I think an iPod and the white wired earbuds would have fit her better.

justafanboy10102025-12-12 19:16

Cause it’s produced by James Gunn. Even Gunn produced films like Brightburn and Belko Experiment still always have James Gunn vibes over it if that makes sense to

FX1142025-12-12 19:21

He wrote Belko Experiment.

justafanboy10102025-12-12 19:33

Oh okay. My mistake. I was saying you can tell even it’s it not directed or written by James Gunn u can still tell

No-Leadership96762025-12-12 19:32

yes just vibes and that too in like 2 shots , overall the movie looks comic accurate af

Diortheking2025-12-12 19:16

Lmao all of twitter has this opinion Walkman 80s pop cgi animal are Gunn’s specialty

annoyingrelieve2025-12-12 19:17

The lightguns pointing at kara is straight up the ravagers surrounding rocket in the forest scene

GreyPilgrim19732025-12-12 19:28

Yes and Mr Terrific kicking ass was a callback to Yondu in GOTG2.

But if it rocks, it rocks

Johnny02302025-12-12 19:18

The only similarity is in some settings and colors. It's not like someone wearing headphones becomes Star Lord.

DrBobKoalaCat2025-12-12 19:19

Reminder that this is based on the comic Woman of Tomorrow and neither the comic or the movie were written or directed by James Gunn. Not that there isn't any influence, but it seems like a lot of people are missing that.

Gotchapawn2025-12-12 19:19

I like producers/directors that does this, it doesnt ruin anything. Its like saying dont use NYC when portraying NYC, and other production cant use NYC again because its effing similar vibes lol. To Gunn thats how it looks like and it works why change it. No one even can give a better example since at this point humans still hasnt been to any other planet with a functioning civilization like ours.

BackgroundEngineer112025-12-12 19:20

Please don't trigger the Snyder Bros. They keep going on and on about the jacket and headphones.

corgangreen2025-12-12 19:21

When a seedy space bar looks like a seedy space bar

cevans922025-12-12 19:21

Having watched some knowledgeable comic book dudes (Heroes Reforged) watch this trailer, the comic that is the inspiration for this movie has a very serious GotG vibe.

CreaseNinja2025-12-12 19:21

I’m already incredibly annoyed with this take, I’m seeing it all over the place. The similarities are superficial and a bit of a stretch, it feels incredibly lazy as a criticism.

corgangreen2025-12-12 19:21

Wait til Lanterns comes out and Jack T Chance looks like a Yondu rip-off

Sncrsly2025-12-12 19:24

Did you see Superman?

NeitherPollution49522025-12-12 19:24

When I first watched the trailer I kind of felt like the script was an unused script for a Valkyrie movie with all the drinking and super strength shenanigans

absherlock2025-12-12 19:28

Do you mean fun?

EyeScreamSunday2025-12-12 19:41

A lot of movies have taken needle drops, bright colors, and irreverent humor as influence from GotG. Even Ragnarok and Captain Marvel took some influence following GotG for sure. It was basically the blueprint for Marvel’s whole cosmic aesthetic for a minute there.

But yes, I think Supergirl is leaning into it as well and there is nothing wrong with it, especially given the source material and trying to give Gunn’s DC universe an identity. I think it makes Supergirl (including the source material) stand apart from Superman in a way that a lot of Supergirl media usually hasn’t.

AcademicComplaint6972025-12-13 15:27

it sounds like most the people in here are only capable of parroting what they hear from James Gunn, or other movie reviews and can’t come up with their own actual responses beyond Insulting the original poster… oooh how edgy and original just like the lame a$$ tom king and James Gunn hive mind.. thanks for constantly reminding me of the infantile regime we are up against. Storytelling used to have class, intrigue and intelligence. now put in an eighties song, potty humor like we’re 12, and everyone loves it! It’s been admittedly written for a dumber audience and by lapping it up like weird lackeys, you’re not doing Yourselves or anyone any favors by proving their point.
