Why Everyone Is Misreading DC's Supergirl Movie

Everyone is arguing about the Supergirl movie. Half of them haven't read the comic. That's not a debate; that's noise.

Before the film hits theaters on June 26, here's the context the trailer breakdowns aren't giving you: what Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow actually is, how Tom King writes, why Bilquis Evely's art matters, and why the reaction to this movie is so divided before anyone's even seen it.

This isn't a trailer reaction. This is the video you need before you can have an intelligent conversation about this film.
