7.8 Visually an absolute spectacle, rhetorically a typical Nolan’s tortured hero road to self release. The harshest truth of Odysseus’s journey, I’d say, happened halfway through the film at Circe’s house. The more Nolan films one watches, the more one finds the Nolan-esque middle ground between a moral critique and a “there there” pat on the shoulder… for a lack of better words, not enough. But of course, enough to send the Musk wannabes into a tizzy.

Ridley Scott used to be such a vibe. And Sarandon defo deserves better.

7.5 It’s not wrapping up, it’s just them growing up. Heartstopper, being my comfort show in my 30s, with this finale makes me feel like I were a queer dad watching my kids becoming adults and leaving the house. It’s just giving that sense of proudness and a little sadness. For a queer show to end on this note, you can’t really ask for more. It didn’t give a lackluster final season that went just a bit too long. A film ended it right where it should be. Nellie is the best actor though.

5 Supergirl wasn’t abysmally unlikable like Quantamania, but it really was just an awfully watered down version of Woman of Tomorrow. The core thesis of the source material was obliterated with the empty alteration of the origin story of Ruthye, the simplification of Krem and the Brigands’ identity, the meaningless addition of Lobo, and the skeleton of a representation of Kara’s personal history. Another thing that disappointed me was that the film production didn’t even try to capture the visual excellence from the comics, and simply turned to replicate a hybrid between Guardians of the Galaxy and Mad Max, and even that wasn’t done properly. Ultimately big studios’ arrogance showed yet again; that they still weren’t treating female centric superhero films seriously, and were merely making them to keep the universe building going. Sad, really.
