This movie is bonkers, but in a good way or a bad way? See the crazy movie that came out before the hit TV show! Nostalgia Critic takes a look at Supergirl.
Supergirl is a 1984 superhero film directed by Jeannot Szwarc and written by David Odell. Based on the DC Comics character of the same name, it is a spin-off from Alexander and Ilya Salkind's Superman film series. The film stars Helen Slater as Supergirl, along with Faye Dunaway, Mia Farrow, and Peter O'Toole, with Marc McClure reprising his role as Jimmy Olsen from the Superman films. He was the only actor to do so.

Did Malcolm recently get married? I've noticed there's a ring on his left ring finger in many of his scenes. If so, congratulations!
Hi nostalgia critic I got my front tooth chipped and my a little scrape up because I tried to crop dust my sister
My Wednesday's going pretty good! thanks for asking!
You make the best "paid endorsements"!! I always skip over them on other videos. But yours are freaking hilarious! "This is my thinking couch" HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Dont Dis this movie... dont you dare... LOL I actually liked it. I liked your vid, until the stamps commercial...
I just imagine Doug chasing Chaplin all over his place just yelling "STAAAMMMPPPSSSS!!!!"
Novekye I like to think that’s the first thing he does in the morning
I heard that yell as I read it. 😂
Lmao xD!!! I wonder if it possible if chaplin would've his own show ?
His voice for Chaplin kinda reminds me of Eek the Cat.
its what he does in his spare time.
I love someone’s comment in Redlettermedia. “This movie had a plot. It was just allergic to it.”
I can't believe they skipped mentioning that vibrator looking thing at the beginning though. This is the first time I've seen that!
They are right this movie could have a thing that work like the main villan use magic and Superman and Supergirl are weak agaisnt magic, but they decide don't do anything with that.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Ok, I gotta admit: the porn movie running gag might be one of the funniest NC jokes ever :D
I mean, I would say that the reason for that is because it makes so much sense.
Honestly it genuinely explains a lot about this movie
I was actually waiting for the squirt scene to come up and see what they would do with it and they did make a pretty funny joke, but I think they missed the "other" meaning of squirt in porn movies (or so I've heard! ☺). I'd rather not elaborate because this is a family comment section but I'm sure everyone can figure it out for themselves 😝
I wanted to comment the same thing! And Malcolm's reactions just crack me up!
Funny & NC go hand to hand.
Someone, 2007.
“Okay you come from a beehive of hippies, your nemesis is a magical witch named Selena.”
“That’s some bullshit.”
“And your big fight scenes are with an invisible monster, construction equipment, and a bumper car.”
“Are you high?”
“No but I’m thinking about starting,and you should too.”
Love this so much!
Lol
Blow them? You mean with her super breath “
That was brilliant
You know that whole senario was actually the case right?
"Wanna hear about the time you dated a horse.... .... Twice!"
Bojack really did get around, didn't he?
Lool
Pretty sure it was Mr Ed.
Who's Bojack ? Is that the same horse that got Loki pregnant in Norse myth ?
@@fadiragab4377 Main character from a cartoon. Just google bojack horseman.
Even Catherine the great would tell her to calm down
Fun Fact: The actress who plays Supergirl in this movie, is the mom of Kara in the Supergirl Television series. Also, the father is Dean Cain, who played Superman.
She is also Clark's birth mother on Smallville.
Whoa whoa whoa wait... Does that mean... The Supercousins... ~shagged?
Wait, she’s Kara’s mom in the Arrowverse?
@@ezelfrancisco1349 dc often uses the actors they have already used to play characters in other shows Teri Hatcher who is Lois Lane in Lois and Clark came back to play Lois's mom on Smallville and Mon-El's mom on Supergirl, Dean Cane who was clark on Lois and Clark came back to play a villain on Smallville and Kara's adoptive father on Super Girl. The voice actor of Darksreid for Superman the animated Series and Justice League the animated series came back to Smallville to play General Sam Lane. Even Anette O'Toole who was Martha Kent on Smallville played Lana Lang in Superman 3.
Wasn't Dean Cain the douchebag businessman from God's Not Dead?
29:08
Director: And then the woman holds a ball next to her crotch while the man holds his bone stick, and then they both point them intensely towards the camera, where the bone start to vibrate while the ball spins in her hand, and they make squelching noises...
Writer: It’s all part of the original source material!
Director: I see…
they had the change quite a lot of direction's for this scene now it is about 2 people holding the ball and bone stick and forcing hypnotism to the audience so we cant decide to see a actual porn instead of this crap
the sponsorship was just an excuse for Doug to film his cat being a cat.
I appreciate his attempts at trying to make the ads at least somewhat bearable.
I will take any excuse to see more of Chaplin.
I kinda feel like the cat, he was like "oh dear god, please stay away from me"
@@Seryeth please dear GOD WHY!
I sent them a tweet a bit back saying that I barely remembered who Chaplin was and that they should make him make an appearance. I hope that was the influence, heehee.
"alright, it says two truckers approach her play with her skirt and then she blows them" is the best line in the whole review
I've got to admit, this movie actually looks like it was supposed to be porn!
But to be honest, I think Helen Slater as Supergirl was a perfect casting choice!
Especially if it was supposed to be porn.
You should watch The Warriors dude, that movie has some porn-tier dialogue. Still great, terrible, but god do I love it.
You're right. Physically Helen Slater was perfect. It would have being cool to have a movie with her and Christopher Reeve teaming up. And yes, she also was hot AF.
@@carl_anderson9315 That would of been awesome with the right budget and right director..
@@kenrickeason "right budget" cause yeah, you know, 35 M is an awful budget...
That running porno gag with Malcolm literally has me in tears! 😂 Absolutely hilarious observations and skits.
Especially this part:
Why haven't you fired me yet?
Because I'm not a smart person.
And the exasperated sighs lol
Never gets old.
@@amehak1922 YEP
Ummmm…… 😅
Ok
Phrasing
"I have never before in my life laid eyes on you, have I young lady?"
"No sir, I'm new here."
"Well obviously you're new here if I've never before laid eyes on you!"
THEN WHY DID YOU ASK HER THE QUESTION IN THE FIRST PLACE?!🙄
Funny how he said the line "laid eyes on you" not once but twice, lol. In a movie already brimming with double entendres and innuendos, it felt like just another piece in the puzzle, XD
(DERP)
Rhetorical question.
Oscar worthy writing right here.
Funny enough I was reading this comment when the line was just said.
I just love how the lady playing Selena is just giving it 150% of her batshit craziness and loving every minute of it.
The lady being Faye Dunaway, a big name actress in her day. In fact, quite a few fairly big names got suckered into this movie.
I honestly think Peter O'Toole saw what a steaming dumpster fire the movie was turning out to be and went and got utterly shit-faced for the remaining duration of the shooting, then they just had to go with him like that for his scenes.
Faye Dunaway. Legendary actress in a BS movie. Lol.
It’s Faye Dunaway you uncultured swine 😂
Critic is clearly trying not to laugh while filming his cat.
The critic jumped out of my screen and screamed in my face with hyper realistic bloody eyes, he then faded away in thin air
😂😂😂
Yea I heard that.
gee, very astute observation, i dont think anyone picked up on that!
@@wowno5763 They said "clearly"
"Are you high?"
"No, but I'm thinking about starting."
"And you should too"

A 21 year old playing a teenager. Oh the horror, no one tell him Tobey Maguires actual age

He was 26 in the first Spider-Man movie. Teenagers in movies usually are played by people in their 20's.
@@vetarlittorf1807 yes that's true. I just thought it was funny that she was only 21, two years off from being a teenager and that's was something he felt he should point out. Had she been like 26+ i would've understood it
Vetarlit Torf ah yes yes to get around the child protection laws that limit how much kids work! It makes sense that they don’t use actual teens, since filming with kids /legal minors is so complicated
@@shadowspider9 I mean, If someone told me that Tom Holland was 18 years old, I'd totally believe

How are you so early for every video I see? What’s your secret, man?!
@@vivir339 I just reload my subscription count at 5
I really like Malcolm's role in the video, couldn't stop laughing every time he was on the screen.
I know right
DejaVoodooDoll I LOST it at that part. 😂Had to watch it at least three times before I moved on. Lol!
Fun fact: the woman who played Supergirl (Helen Slater) became the voice for Talia al Ghul in Batman the animated series. The guy that played Ethan (Hart Bochner) voiced Councilman Reeves in Batman Mask of the Phantasm (which is mention briefly at 33:34)
Didn't she also play supergirls adopted mother in the CW
He also played Ellis in Die Hard.
@@alexandertelson3713 I was thinking of when she played Clark's bio-mom's clone in Smallville so I was confused how you thought Supergirl was her daughter. I forgot about the CW show because I lost track of the stories after the 2nd multi-show crossover.
Doug sounded like he was just cracking up voicing Chaplin.
I was just think the same thing. 😆
That's because he was doing it all in one take for some reason.
"I'm Chaplin!"
He was trying extremely hard not to burst into laughter for sure, doing it all in one take was a great idea!
Yeah! His cat is so cute!!
Me: *about to skip the sponsorship like always*
Doug: *shows his cat and does the voice* Hi everybody, I'm Chaplin!
Me: *stop* Well played sir... very well played.
You're missing out
you skip his sponsor reads? doug does sponsors right and makes them fun
This was actually my favorite part of the video. I laughed all the way through. :)
If Chaplin is in a sponsorship I'm going to watch it
@@A-Microwave I agree. I die laughing at his reads every time
Episodes starts, narrator begins to talk.
Me: "is he trying to sound like the godfather, or the fake dad of titan from Megamind?"
Marlin Brando played both The Godfather and Jor El and Will Ferrel took inspiration from that for Mega Mind.
Haaaave you not seen Superman?

@@pokemaster123ism It's a bad one.
B.J. Blazkowicz
*In the background*
_You suck, Blazkowicz!_
I'm surprised that he didn't add the old "Of course"! gag in when that witch lady was talking abou taking over the world
He stopped doing that years ago.
Of course!
It's a classic.
Lol same I was waiting for the “OFCOURSE” but it never came and I was so shocked.
“Lex luthor would have done the same”
“Would he?”
Well maybe in 2016
Billy Greci Wasn’t that a jab at the comics code because of how it limited storytelling? Even Archie Comics dropped it, and Afterlife with Archie #1 had several reprints.
@@billygreci9739 That was The Super Dictionary, not a real story lol.
@@billygreci9739 yeah but that has nothing to do with turning a woman upside down and spreading her legs while spinning her around!!
Billy Greci No, because he has some class.
Oh believe me,
He actually would.
I love how Chaplin is like "what the litter is wrong with my human???
When in doubt run... Or just walk fast. Running is exhausting"
Imagining Doug chasing his panicked cat around the house with a camera is both horrifying and hilarious. Poor Chaplin XD
Credit where credit's due. Helen Slater is dreamy.
Yea, she's in her 60s and still yummilicious
She's absolutely stunning!
The eyes say it all.
I almost like her more with the brown hair. 😍
I agree. Fair is fair!
The way NC's voice started cracking up after having to chase his cat around the house ❤️
I love that cat.
Cats are pretty fast
Supergirl lands on Planet Earth and the very first Human Beings she encounters are 2 Incredibly Horny Rapists. You have to love the Screenwriters’ wit.
Not much had changed.
They predicted the internet.
Sounds like a Supergirl porn parody
SUPER!!
Didn't Batman/Superman: Apocalypse start out that way too?
27:07
I'm just surprised there was no joke regarding that lady lifting Supergirl's skirt.
Supergirl: I need an adult!
Dorm Head: You ARE an adult.
So glad DBZ Abridged jokes are still going after it's cancellation.
It shall be missed ;(
"I need an adult."
"I am an adult."
"No, no you are not."
I'm pretty sure it was a private girl's high school. Helen Slater may have been an adult but her character wasn't.
For a witch/sorceress, she's got some pretty lowzy henchmen. Orcs, goblins, zombies, demons; those are henchmen. Old people, no.
Or flying monkeys, robots, actual people who have been cleverly manipulated, etc.
Sky's the limit when you are an archmage.
In all likelihood, they probably were either going for satire (badly), or they didn't have the budget for those orcs, goblins, zombies, and demons.
Those Orc Unions are pretty serious about getting their benefits.
@@blakeadamson1576 Not in 40k. Biggest is boss.
@@WhatIsThatThingDoing Okay, if they were actually people in positions of financial or political power, who've sorta made deals with her or are part of her cult, I'd be okay with that. That'll make sense. But calling them her foot soldiers is just stupid.
Before the DCEU even existed they tried to make a universe with the Christopher Reeves films. A noble idea but was executed very poorly.
Megaproductions302 which is a shame since supergirl is a good character
@@TGwA1993 "more dark and mature"
Yup, every single one of their dark movies was such an exceptional hit. Turning Shazam into a comedy? Would totally never work! I can't believe they even tried that!
@@tonysmith9905 What if Batman & Robin was even campier than it was?
Megaproductions302 executed poorly.... understatement of the year
@@tonysmith9905 Shazam was good tho
Ok, who ever came up with the porn script parts had me rolling in laughter. Thank you =) That was just to funny.
"cum with me"😂
Ohhh!
It is just perfect! Well Done.. Vintage Doug and Rob Walker.. Every once in a while you can see that they still have that brilliance.. They may have lost a step or 2 *"Getting older"* but they still know how to dance..
I just crying in Laughter right now! I had to rewind that part before I go any further into the review.. LMFAO!!!!
I loved the Chaplin scene.
He needs to show him more often
Chaplin just running around, looking up and down and yawning makes me 😃 cuz he's Chaplin!
Doug laughing while voicing Chaplin is amazingly funny.
So 2 things:
You mentioning that this movie was scripted as a porno ruined the review for me... because it's far too legit to be a lie.
And shout outs to that classic Popeye's signage.
And people complained about Man of Steel having too much product placement
And then she played with Lucy Lane's bra? Yeah yeah..... lol
Ronald Wright Jr. Ly la ly ly lee la ly...ly ly ly ly lyy lalyyyy ly ly ly la lee la ly,...ly ly ly ly lyyyy ly
Love that Doug almost broke character *MULTIPLE TIMES* voicing Chaplin....
........ *STAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSS*
Seeing Doug just mess with his cat is hilarious.
I will say, the costume for Supergirl in this movie is pretty good
Supergirl arrives in Chicago, immediately almost assaulted by truckers.....great PR for the city! Thanks Supergirl.
That scene is applied to every film starring female roles nowadays.
I think you should be thanking the truckers more than supergirl.
RAPIST truckers, no less. Only the best for Supergirl!
The running joke with the scriptwriter is i think my favorite bit you guys have done recently.
19:58 yes she dated a horse twice, and it was somehow even weirder the second time 😂🤣
Lol
Wasn’t there something about the horse being her animal sidekick (because every other superhero needed an animal sidekick for one reason or another) who could change into a human, or was that a strange dream/hallucination when I has suffering from a bad fever?
And yet I thought the epitome of weirdness for Superman was the time he got the power to summon a Mini-Superman from his hand.
And people say Bronies are weird
Loki got knocked up by a horse....
He's still pretty cool.
Just as I was gonna say: "What the hell? Aren't those all like great shows, and they've done pretty well so far?" And the punchline hit just in time.
I never understood why villains want to rule the world-
"You can go where you want, take what you want, and don't have to pay taxes."
...have you considered starting smaller? Like an independent country? For something so simple do you need the whole world?
Isn't that the basics of Doctor Doom?
Well you need ambition mate, besides they are starting small, first villans want to conquer the world later the whole universe.
It's more the accomplishment than the perks, I think.
Why not start with the tristate area???
Probably because the country the tristate area is in will get annoyed. But maybe a nice island. You know, like Australia.
"It says two truckers approach her, play with her skirt, and then she blows them."
"😥"
"You mean like with her super breath?"
"😅Yes! Yes I do!"
Lost it on that one.
That one was freaking hilarious!
That needs to be a porn
the irony is that the director later went on to do loads of Smallville episodes, but none of the ones that had Supergirl
That's actual irony. Well done.
I feel after this movie the rest of the crew either never let him work on them due to his track record or he personally never wants to do a supergirl project again
Well that's a redemption for you, just like James Marsters voicing Zamasu in Dragonball Super after playing Lord Piccolo in the horrible Dragonball: Evolution live action movie.
As a person that landscapes for a living, seeing that dude trying to unnecessarily prune a tree with a hand saw made me laugh.
The character is not written intelligently even before he gets ensorcelled, so that's no surprise.
I honestly thought this was going to be about the CW show
lol me 2
Me too as well
is there a difference?...
Lol just as bad
@@Mugthraka yes big difference
cat: "halp! I'm stuck in here with a human and his camera and a sponsorship-deal! .... halp!"
Chaplin: 20:16 "Okay, wth are you doing?" 20:43 "Okay, you're acting crazy right now, I'm out of here." 20:47 "Are you STILL following me and talking about stamps?!" 20:55 "OH MY GOD, LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"
Supergirl in Smallville’s Fucking Amazing
I had no idea supergirl appeared in Smallville but i stopped watching around s4.
She was fantastic in Smallville.
@@TheBoxingCannabyte I don't blame you for dropping in season 4. Other seasons got better. Season nine was peak.
But Kara (I call superheroes with their real names, nothing else) from DC superhero girls 2019 is the best! I dream of her every day (and night)!
Language
It's 1am and I nearly woke my roommates with "Milf, it does a body good."
I just reached that bit and had to pause, then started scrolling through the comments because I couldn't stop giggling and then I found this comment which set me off again. XD
13:23 "Lex Luthor would have done the same."
Lex: *WRONG* !!
When did Lex Luthor turn into Donald Tru.. I just answered my own question. 🤦🏻♂️
@@randalgraves6979 lol. No he didn't.
Lex is actually smart and has a modicum of self control.
It seems like DC still doesn't know what go do with her in the comics honestly. Let's make her dark, let's make her embody hope, nope let's make her dark again, no Supergirl should be a symbol of hope and all that is good, nope she's a rage machine. WTF is wrong with DC sometimes? I honestly think Supergirl is on their fabled hated character list right under Wally West and Nightwing.
I mean, at least she has a well-received TV show with a lovable lead actress that currently celebrated its hundredth episode. That's a bright spot.
Not as much as how Marvel hates Thor and Nova.
I say the thing to do with her is make her a Kryptonian girl who is fascinated with Earth cultures, whether American, British, African, anime or furries, and she likes to hang out with human girls as human girls (especially if they know she's Supergirl so they can cover for her) and learning to hang out with aliens (her parents were not xenophobes but her whole society was), and she's very good at saving the world stuff (she has powers and is an El) but not good with crime stuff (she's not an investigative reporter).
It's kinda sad how true that probably is!
I really love her N52 version. The first time I read her was when they made her a Red Lantern
oh my God,I Love Chaplin,He’s so Cute,&,Adorable
His biggest advantage is he can possess the critic. Therefore, he possesses the critics charisma.
Side note: you know he used to do this with the critic puppet before he got Chaplin.

Ahhh who is it in ur profile pic ?? I know it’s from something awesome but I can’t remember what :////
Oh, God! This is a terrible movie! But.... Jerry Goldsmith's music is rousing and epic to hear! It's better than the movie itself.
@Brian Alex pc? birds of prey, logan, deadpool 1 and 2.All these are finally making R rated superhero movies that almost no one would ever do back then
It deserved a better movie
Right on the money there!
Sadly, same thing can be said about
Star Trek the (slow) Motion Picture
King Solomon's Mines
Baby, Secret of the Lost Legend
Dennis the Menace
Congo
And any other movies ripped off of more popular properties scored by John Williams and Jerry gets leftovers like what happened on Supergirl.
@@OhGreat2014 I didn't mind the Dennis The Menace movie as much. I found it to be one of those movies that was dumb but enjoyable. I fee like people need more movies where it just be fun and enjoyable without trying to be extremely epic or deep, a lot of animated movies fall into that trap.
Hehe "rousing"
Must say I'm disappointed you didn't give props for the one good thing about this movie; Helen Slater looked _phenomenal_ as Supergirl!
Even as old as she is now she is still freaking hot.
Much better than what ever is supposed to be Supergirl in the flash film.
Considering the state of the “DCEU”, I’m not sure what will happen with Henry Cavill’s take on Superman. But with James Gunn’s help, I have an idea for how to incorporate a “Supergirl” to be more like the wholesome country person Superman was supposed to be. PLEASE HEAR ME OUT! 😊
As “Superwoman”, she could have a similar origin to Superman, but be enough of her own person. She could have no relation to Kal-El, & grow up on a farm in Missouri (rather than Kansas). Despite being Called Kara-Zod, making her a neice to General Zod who got disowned by the family before Krypton exploded. Kara, named “Linda Danvers” on Earth, would keep a low profile & protect the Earth after the Justice League disbanded. She could make the ultimate sacrifice deeming humanity to be “worth it”, where another guy called “ALEXANDER J. LUTHER” is president of the United States. Just to be honest, it’s actually common for 2 different people to have the same name, like one hell of a coincidence.
Anyway, Luther wants to let a Kryptonite ASTEROID strike Earth so that he could rule over what’s left after the impact & use his background in real estate to sell a post-apocalyptic “new world” to all the people he would rule over with an iron fist. He plans to turn the former United States into a fascist “new world order” with himself as its ruthless dictator. He could make up for Jesse Eisenberg’s pathetic take on “Lex Luthor”, even if it’s under a slightly different name for copywright issues. Luckily, Linda would fly into the asteroid & destroy it, becoming the hero humanity need after she restored their faith in humanity herself. Luther would be impeached & handed a life sentence for his crimes against humanity.
@@georgeeastwood6930 why is this a reply to my comment?
@@JakkFrost1 I’m wondering who could play her today. How would you feel about Luther being president of the United States, like in “Superman/Batman: Public Enemies”?
"Are they trying to hypnotize us?" No, just give you a splitting headache.
i believe the word you looking for is, AHHH!
Hi, Max! Remember me? I'm Fred's hand!
Lol! Nice! 👍😁
The movie was already doing that.
Rhomega I was waiting for that reference
Just a correction: You said that the two men Supergirl meets when she lands in Chicago are played by Matt Frewer and Stacy Keach. You're half right. It is Matt Frewer, but the other actor is not Keach, it's Bill Mitchell.
As a longtime fan, I just have to say that watching Doug's transformation into a cat person since getting Chaplin is possibly one of the greatest longtime arcs on this show. (And having adopted a stray, I can relate so much to it)
17:03 So this guy is perfectly fine having a drink in the home of a women he just met, that is decorated with shrunken heads, and skulls on spikes?!
"Wanna hear about the time you dated a horse?" Yes, please.
Zaltar is punished by being sent to the Phantom Zone...
...Instead of the people putting him to work on building a new power source or something.
Well, he kinda sent himself to the phantom zone.
Like running in a giant hamster wheel
I thought the Phantom Zone was reserved for the worst criminals and most dangerous monsters in the universe. even other universes use it as a dumping ground for those they want to get rid of. heck, they even once tried to throw DoomsDay in there, only for him to escape later on. in Injustice, some character campaigns end with Superman being trapped in there forever. Zaltar banishing himself to the Phantom Zone because one colony losing power, leaving everyone on life support for several days, is pretty extreme. I mean, he'll be trapped forever with monsters that tore Doomsday inside out. he might as well be in friary pits of hell
But if he insists...
Nope. Here's some Binaca and one of Tom Baker's old Dr. Who jackets and you get to live forever in a damp bad place.
Someone once asked me if this was a Disney movie. I don't blame him.
I read this comment to the tune of 'Allstar' for some reason and now I can't unhear it wth
@@wolfclaw719 I can feel that, but this wasn't supposed to be an Allstar reference. I just feel like Supergirl is more Disney than DC.
Well that explains alot.
I can hear Doug cracking up as he has to follow Chaplin around the rooms 😂
NC: Because fairy tales and superheroes go so well together.
Me looking at the DC continuity: If that's the weirdest thing that happens, consider yourself lucky.
Seriously, the amount of freaks and weirdos that must have been creatively in charge of DC is baffling.
No wonder fanons don't read comics: they're never sure what counts as "canon", which they usually obsess about.
You gotta admit, Helen Slater was the most beautiful Supergirl imaginable.

When they were mentioning the succesful supergirl properties, I was honestly shocked they glossed over the Injustice 2 videogame. It’ basicly supergirl the game half the time.
Same! I just made near enough the same point.
What about those episodes of Superman the animated series and Justice League Unlimited..... Those were pretty good
I'm more surprised he praised the live action Supergirl show, considering the very mixed reviews it gets.

"What is this, an episode of Gilligan's Island? Everybody gets hit once and they are instantly unconscious."
- Dragoon, The Venture Bros.
My favorite part of the review was how he ignored Kara's character arc in Superman TAS to Justice League Unlimited to prove his point about how Supergirl has only been taken serious as a character recently...
''As She Delights gripping Her Long Vibrating Stick'' lol.
I guess someone's nethers are made of steel
At least her death in the original Crisis was one of the most epic last stands of of a hero in comics. She landed several devastating hits on the toughest villain yet created at that point, until oone lucky antimatter blast took her life.
Besides that she is a campy character and I saw the television series it is also campy but it knows it's source material so they only try to show breif signs of seriousness so that's that & the arrowverse is still the best live action DC connected universe , DCEU has it's moments but yeah warner should really plan out it's stories.
Truly enjoying Doug's descent into madness during the sponsored content.
That's just him losing his professionalism by doing a whole segment in one take.
I don't mind it. It allows more time to produce the content that matters.
@@GigaDB But he's been doing it for years. It should be easy for him now.
@@kimifw58 for what I can get, he's not taking the sponsor seriously. He's going for a "so bad it's good" approach, it's a hit or miss for me 🤔
I just remembered that Jor-El, in Superman 1, says he's been dead for thousands of earth years. By that logic, Supergirls world should be long gone.
Maybe time travels slower in "inner space" so while she spends weeks looking for the Omegahedron, only a few seconds pass in Argo City... I mean "the beehive."
@@Wendy_O._Koopa Maybe, but do you really believe that amount of thought was put into this movie?
It would be funny if Helen Slater had a cameo in Wonder Woman 84 since that's the year of this movie.
I hope DC throws an odd jab at it now thanks alot for raising expectations
I found the Wonder Woman movie a breath of fresh air because it helped female superhero movies being perceived in a more positive light after years of movies like Supergirl here, Catwoman and Elektra.
@@aussieman3021and then the sequel happened.
"Wanna talk about the time you dated a horse? ...Twice?"
Yes please 😏😜🤤
"Supergirl needs more respect for her character."
Injustice 2: Hold my beer.
Thank you! Good to see a comment about that.
And the TV series
@@Dim4323 The CW show is terrible.
Thank you for that
"It makes me wanna yawn with joy and excitement" .... I'm dead
"You do not remember me. I am your father. You must have many questions..."
Yes, like why you're doing the voice of the space dad disguise that Megamind uses.
I think it's because Megamind was imitating Marlon Brando's Godfather voice since Brando played Superman's dad.
I'm so fucking glad I'm not the only one who thought this 😂
BYERE "I am your fatha"
@@jessicawurm23 Yea, but he's almost perfectly voicing the Megamind version, rather than parodying Brando lol
@@jessicawurm23 i love the fact that he was doing the right actor, but the wrong role. Such niche humor, no kid and most adults are not getting that joke
Supergirl (1984): A low budget movie or a high budget porn?
Both?
Soft porn inspired
Both, I suppose.
And now Helen Slater occasionally plays Kara's adopted mom on CW Supergirl. Just one of like a dozen legacy cameos on that show.
Black Ninja She was. Because she was Lara, Clark’s Kryptonian biomom in season 7 of Smallville, which was the second season after The WB became the CW. Smallville was also rather fond of the legacy casting.
@Black Ninja Yeah but Supergirl the show has both Superman show AND DCAU alumni cameos
Who agrees that Tamara is so pretty!
🖐
Me.
That jock's speech of love towards Supergirl (when Supergirl is in her Linda alter-ego) was surprisingly poetic for a jock (it's a retro movie, you don't expect them to break cliche).
John Ivan Taro Probably to highlight for the audience the fact that he’s under a spell.
@Ivy94f Dallas Good point.
They did the same thing with Billy Connolly's wife in superman 3.
I'm fact, the dumb bimbo really being smart is a cliche, just not one applied to men do it did break cliché.
Helen Slater was in this? One year later, she got her true hero role playing Billie Jean.
*F A I R I S F A I R.*
In Corpus Christi.
She’s come back in other Superman related shows before. She played Superman’s biological mom in Smallville and has even appeared in the current Supergirl TV series.
@@GManJR75 she plays Supergirl's adoptive earth mom on Supergirl
Maria Ximena Otalora Cordoba Kinda felt like a missed opportunity to have Helen reprise her role as this Kara in Crisis even if it has her be killed off to save Earth-38 Kara like how Earth-90 Barry sacrifice himself to save Earth-1 Barry, and Earth-1.
I saw this in the theatre when I was nine. I remembered that I really liked it and had a great time. Had a bit of a crush on Helen Slater. I saw it again in high school and was shocked at how silly it all was. I tried to watch it like 10 years ago and got about 20 minutes in before I changed the channel.
33:24 I used to believe this until “My Adventures with Superman”. That Jimmy deserves all the wins
Oh god... poor Chalplin. He looks like he's freaking out cause he keeps having a camera shoved in his face.
I hope he got hugs after this to make him feel better...
Tegan Thrussell No, not that! Don’t you know cats hate hugs? Or at least that’s how my cats react to it.
The guy hits his head on a crane and suffers no damage at all, yet he gets hit on the head with a rock and he loses consciousness. And you didn't mention any of this?
Technically, I think it was a mango or something...
To be fair, a rock of that size traveling at that speed would cause some damage, possibly making you lose consciousness. But that fucking crane thing was bullshit.
When did he hit his head on the crane thing?
@@-m.d.n-9019 25:08
@@TylerNovakYT oh yeah. That should have him bleeding on the top of his head.
It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's a horrible representation of girl power.
Are you talking about Supergirl, or the Star Wars TLJ?!
I was around when it came out. It was dated and antiquated back then too!!
And sadly it didn't get any better with the live action show.
Despite what the joke said it's basically just another "bUt GirLS CaN dO it tOo!"
Haven't seen any of the animated shows so maybe they got it right.
Bolby Ballinger the show isn’t aimed at dudes but that’s ok.
@mark undefined that too is a great example of neo feminist sjw garbage that's destroying everything great in the world!
