@@AlexMcGillvreyloved her but she’s been recast and i just hope her career is bright. She was great in the role but didn’t really wow me in any way tbh so I’m fine with a recast.
They can never figure out a proper persona for her. Ever since Kara was brought back before the NEW52, every creative team that works with the character changes her so drastically. It never seems like you're reading the same character with any consistancy.
Yeah, like she can be a happy Superfam character, but she should have a bit of a Sardonic Side to her. It be a nice counter to Clarks or who should be a ray of sunshine. SUPERMAN " Let's go, protect the people, save the day and make sure no one gets hurt" SUPERGIRL "Kal, I love you, but I can only promise 2 of those things" CONNOR " I'll do all 3 and look great doing it" JON Superboy "Woo-hoo, Let's GO!!!" This story proves Kara's the Nightwing of the Superman Family (either her, Steel, and Jimmy Olsen, Flamebird stan)
@@WannabeWryterI agree with you. Kara as Supergirl doesn't have to literally be Superman in a skirt in terms of characters, but rather a character with her own personality and with her own issues to resolve.
Man, I always check this mans channel before I see a superhero movie with a character I'm not too familiar with. I ended up going down a rabbithole of listening to comic book drama's of books I've already read. Finding out that he passed is so goddam sad. May you rest in peace man.
If you've watched my adventures with Superman, Supergirl is introduced in season 2 so chronologically she is introduced a bit early in his career but not that late so it makes sense.
Not because I want a movie per such, but just because more people are reading this book, makes me so pleased that a movie is being announced. That ranks among my favorites.
@@KuLifefinn Looks shouldn’t be that important for a good Supergirl. Ever heard the saying, “It’s what on the inside that counts?” Besides, Sasha Calle should play a different character in the DCU since James Gunn cut her time as Supergirl too short.
Benny!!!! Thank you!!! I have been anxiously awaiting your dramatic interpretation of this story. Read it awhile ago and loved seeing my gurl growing up! Great! Loved it!!! 🎉
Supergirl is easily one of the most underrated characters. I remember someone someone saying doomslayer could beat supergirl but lose to Superman and Wonder Woman
@@magentapurpleyap5566 she's not, she's actually equal to superman, but the difference comes with personalities, superman isn't rude, he's pacifist, supergirl... not.
I’m pretty sure that’s the point though… who do you blame for when armageddon knocks on your door and the only reason it happened was because a random natural disaster just happened to spin the wheel of fate and land on your home?
I bought this TP of Supergirl for several important women in my life this past Christmas because I find this story to be the greatest heroine story of this millennium so far Also, loved listening to Benny do his interpretation of the story, I just find it so relatable and profound; especially for those who have dealt heavily with tragedy in their lives like myself
Loved this run. And now that we have all three primary characters cast in the upcoming film, it’ll be exciting to see the three of them brought to life on film.
I love your story telling. Great work in your channel also. I have a request if possible, can you do a Miracle Man story, that would be so awesome to see!!
Gunn did guardians it was basically them traveling thru space so anybody doubting Gunn telling this story just go watch the guardians movies they were space comics this is a great story to adapt Gunn knows what he’s doing
Honestly took me a good while… let’s say… ever since i finished reading the series back in the middle of 2022 to realise now that the killing Krem ending in Ruthye’s book is to put all the heat onto supergirl instead…
Well, I see why James wants to use this story. But it'll be interesting how he does as in this story supergirl is already been around for a minute. So I'm wondering how he will appoarch this.
Well given that Superman isn't an origin story and Batman already had Damian and the Bat Family, it might be safe to assume that we're gonna jump into the middle of their lives after they've been doing their thing for years. Kinda like how the PS4/5 Spider-Man game was set 8 years after him being Spidey
@@agente5-sigma20 That's a bad example because not everyone has watched that Supergirl show. People know Superman and Batman, and Spider--Man. They don't know Supergirl like that, even with the TV show.
As far as the movie being based on this story, I think it's a really weird place to start. Personally, I think the Supergirl movie should be based on Superman/Batman: The Supergirl from Krypton from 2004.
yes, this supergirl has already been on Earth for a few years. You can tell cause she has Krypto with her. Im assuming she just wanted to celebrate her birthday on a planet with a red sun and brought krypto along. Otherwise she woulnt feel the effects of the alcohol, she thought she was quickly gonna go in and out.
The ending is really what caught me off guard. Upon first reading it, I honestly thought that Ruthye had killed Krem with her cane, but he does "twitch" in the second panel. But goes into resting phase in the third, so it kinda makes it less clear, but I guess Tom King has said Ruthye didn't kill him. Even said, the ending felt a little cold, but when you think about how many people he senselessly murdered including her father, it may just be too hard of a thing for her to forgive, regardless of how much he changed. I am sure she is glad he has, but she still wants nothing to do with him, and I guess that is fair, is it not? I guess we expect a more fairytale ending, but not every story should be like that. The only other thing that bothered me was how much Supergirl cussed. It just felt a little over done, yeah she's more edgy than her cousin, I get that, but it was just a little much at times. The art is simply beautiful and kept me engaged when sometimes the story didn't. Overall though, I see why this is being made into a movie, just wonder how big the budget is going to be for it!
Just just as they work so hard to tell a story about lost and forgiveness and Grace they just take it away and essentially say forgiveness is overrated. Everybody deserves forgiveness. Everybody. I hope that is imparted in the movie
Believe it or not, most superheroes don't go around popping off heads like it ain't no thing. It's kinda of a thing. Also it comes back around and is explained. 35:00
I get now why this story is very good. But the theme forgiveness and compassion more suited to wonder women no? Id imagine super girl would be more teenager-ish.
Well she's like twenty one, And considering how long she's be around kara would be the same age as Nightwing whose in his twenties. Teen adventures would be for Connor Kent. Kid adventurers would be for Jonathan kent. (SCREW BENDIS & TOM)
She’s already developed no origin stories it’s years into the DCU which is a completely different approach it saves time solo after solo movie takes years he’s bringing us into the DC Comics present timeline thus why Hal Jordan is close to retirement and he recruits a young John Stewart
You don't face the direction you row a boat, Kara had her back to Ruthee and the shore so if she were rowing how she's supposed to she would end up going towards them, not away. Unfortunately though the artist wanted to show how Supergirl is turning her back on the request so you end up with this panel that is supposed to be a serious moment and it just ends up looking silly if you think about it for more than two seconds.
It’s a great series. I just had one question: In the final scene, why is Ruthye old but Kara isn’t? Do Kryptonians not age or something, because Superman has grey hair in kingdom come. I was just confused.
I believe kryptonian aging rather slowly when energized by the sun constantly, In kingdom come, superman been self-isolating and didn’t get proper sun inside his cave so he’s aging rapidly
When WB make´s a Supergirl movie. Please cast Laura Diane Vandervoort. She will be the best choise to play Kara Zor-el/Supergirl. Laura also looks identical to the comic´s !
Gonna be honest I don't think I like this story. Wanted to check it out since James Gunn is going to make the supergirl movie inspired by this comic. I can see how some elements would be good for a movie but to me this story overall was okay. If there are a lot of changes then tbh it could be good but idk about this one
I like this but it felt like supergirl didnt really have a personality and because I don't know much about superegirl outside of the cw show it was a little disappointing
I don't think this story is the right one to introduce Supergirl into the DCU. It feels like the story in the movie might be to complicated for the average movie audience.
😮 This story is pretty boring. If Gunn uses this, Supergirl will be a snoozefest. They should use the Apocalypse storyline WITHOUT Batman. Just Superman going to confront Darkseid after he kidnaps and brainwashes Supergirl. Include Big Barda and The Furies fight scene, just swap out Wonder Woman and put Supergirl there. Make it towards the end of the movie as they're trying to escape from Apocalypse. Perfect story to a BILLION dollar movie. 😁
I didn't really get it the 21 years comment when she isn't American and got stranded in another planet not on Earth but ok It might be explained later that she was on Earth prior to get in this planet but still it makes no sense
This was a well-written story with a good heart. I want to be excited about seeing it on the big screen. But, with current DC movie management, I am concerned there's going to be fart joke humor and a lack of depth.
RIP!! I just found you two days ago and now you're gone. Life is not fair.😢
We miss you Benny. You would have loved the Superman trailer.
i love this comic SO much, one of my favorites. the art is so stunning and the written is great af

Rest in Peace Benny The Comicstorian. Thank you for reading to us, thank you for being an amazing soul. 🕊️
I can see why King made this story for his daughter. And Kara has been through it! I mean, she went through at least 3 genocides of her people.
Yeah, like she can be a happy Superfam character, but she should have a bit of a Sardonic Side to her. It be a nice counter to Clarks or who should be a ray of sunshine.

Wow!!! This is really good!!!! I’m bummed that this is just now being brought to my attention! Thank you and thank James Gunn!
Hearing this narrated like this low key makes me hype for the movie
I’ve been a fan of SuperGirl since the 1970’s. Our fan base may be small but we are loyal.
RIP Benny thanks for all the content and time you put into the channel

I used to buy supergirl comic to get my wife into comics. She never read them and I ended up reading and really enjoying supergirl.
Milly Alcock is gonna deliver with this role
I wonder how they would handle all the Superman related stuff since Legacy focuses on him in his earlier days.
If you've watched my adventures with Superman, Supergirl is introduced in season 2 so chronologically she is introduced a bit early in his career but not that late so it makes sense.

Supergirl is potentially stronger than superman in comic canon.
@@magentapurpleyap5566 she's not, she's actually equal to superman, but the difference comes with personalities, superman isn't rude, he's pacifist, supergirl... not.
Thanks guys. Feels a bit like a space western. I can see why Gunn would like it
Tom King said that he was inspired by True Grit when he wrote this story.
I like the story. Couple things:
1) who does Supergirl want revenge against for krypton; 2) there always hope AFTER a few hundred years.
I’m pretty sure that’s the point though… who do you blame for when armageddon knocks on your door and the only reason it happened was because a random natural disaster just happened to spin the wheel of fate and land on your home?
1. She doesnt want revenge. She just misses her family and home
2. It just shows that with enough time and reflection, anyone is able to become good
Glad Benny covered this since I'll never ever have a copy thanks to James Gunn now.
I bought this TP of Supergirl for several important women in my life this past Christmas because I find this story to be the greatest heroine story of this millennium so far

I think the movie will be a bit different cuz lobo will be in it
They should swap out Crem for Lobo for the movie
Rest in Peace Benny
This seems like a better idea for a third supergirl movie in a trilogy
More than a third, the second, the first an adaptation of batman/superman apocalypse movie, and the third legion of superheroes
Reading this one right now and it’s so great!

They turned Supergirl into Jack Sparrow.... okay.
this adaption is going to be interesting to say the least.

This comic was beautiful
The new supergirl movie isn't the first supergirl movie. The first supergirl movie is on HBO MAX.

As far as the movie being based on this story, I think it's a really weird place to start. Personally, I think the Supergirl movie should be based on Superman/Batman: The Supergirl from Krypton from 2004.

Very good!
God I love this book. One of my favourites
She 21… on what planet? Like has that supergirl ever been to earth? Is she using earth years? So many questions.
yes, this supergirl has already been on Earth for a few years. You can tell cause she has Krypto with her. Im assuming she just wanted to celebrate her birthday on a planet with a red sun and brought krypto along. Otherwise she woulnt feel the effects of the alcohol, she thought she was quickly gonna go in and out.
"45 minutes. What a pansy" A certain crowd is definitely not going to like that line if it gets fully adapted lol
In the comic, she says, "What a little b****," so yeah, but it's funnier. 😅
Make videos in vertical layout as comic book pages are in portrait layout, just a suggestion...
Incredible work 👏📚

this actually has potential
And James Gunn is the perfect man to adapt it.
In January 2024, it was announced that Milly Alcock had been cast to play Kara Zor-El / Supergirl in the upcoming DC Universe.
If Superman is "Man of Steel/Man of Tomorrow"
I think Supergirl should be "Girl of Steel/Girl of Tomorrow"
why kill him when you can torture his soul for300 years? don't you understand? death is too easy.
Yep there worse fates than just knocking off heads. 😅

not as dark, or unique, but it has a Berserk feel to it...

@@Shahanshah_Xeno honestly my favorite supergirl stories have to be pre52 supergirl stories before the new 52 also rebirth i thought was good too.
Supergirl would be so much better if they really focused on developing her character.
I prefer her more as a teenager than a young adult too.
She’s already developed no origin stories it’s years into the DCU which is a completely different approach it saves time solo after solo movie takes years he’s bringing us into the DC Comics present timeline thus why Hal Jordan is close to retirement and he recruits a young John Stewart
Gotta strike while the iron is hot.
