Supergirl Pitch Meeting

This video from the Pitch Meeting series features a comedic breakdown of a hypothetical Supergirl movie script set within the new DC cinematic universe. The premise revolves around Supergirl, who is indifferent to Earth, traveling through space until she gets caught up in a conflict with a villain named Krem (da Creme).

Key plot points and satirical observations include:

• The Villain: Krem is portrayed as a generic, non-menacing bad guy whose main traits are being mean and eating people's food without asking (1:12-1:24).
• The Hero's Struggles: The writer frequently strips Supergirl of her powers using various plot devices—such as red/green suns or poison—simply because she is considered "too overpowered" for the conflict (2:38, 3:51, 4:34).
• Contrived Narrative Choices: The script includes questionable decisions, such as Krem poisoning the dog Krypto instead of killing him to force a race-against-time plot (1:46-1:59) and including Lobo (played by Jason Momoa) purely for "fan service" (2:51-3:15).
• The Tone: The pitch highlights the absurdity of the "revenge" subplot, where Supergirl flip-flops on whether or not killing is acceptable, and ends the movie with an abrupt decision by Supergirl to live on Earth, which is justified by the vague reasoning that "a whole movie happened" (3:29, 5:24-5:45).

The video concludes by mocking the studio's desire to kickstart a new cinematic universe despite the questionable quality of the script, referencing the current landscape of "superhero fatigue" (5:53-6:05).
