The #Supergirl2026 movie needs a CONTENT WARNING for #parents with young kids-- and even just for fans who enjoy the character and have certain expectations for her.

#Supergirl murders someone on screen and in cold blood, and other people are similarly murdered on screen.

I hate to post #spoilers , but I've read comments by too many parents who walked into the theatre and expected a safe movie for little kids. This is NOT a family-friendly film.

It will also be incredibly disappointing to fans (like me) who are hoping for feminist inspiration and a chance to see their favorite superheroine empowering women on the big screen.

This is NOT empowering to women, nor is the character written by anyone familiar with her. It fails the #BechdelTest miserably, and the two main characters are written as men. If you swapped out the two lead actresses with male actors, you would barely have to change a word of dialogue to make it work. There are no secondary females with more than a few lines of dialogue. Most females are victimized and props.

Supposedly, it's based on the #WomanOfTomorrow graphic novels, but ignores all the best parts of those books (including the imaginative colorful other planets) and tries to out-do #Snyder for brutal and adults-only content. It's like the film was instead based on a hallucination-filled, ten-word ChatGPT summary of the comics.

I've been a #Superman and #DCcomics fan since 1980. I know the character very well, in her many versions: live, animated, and in comics. My adult daughter and I both wanted very much to enjoy the film, and for it to succeed.

But we were deeply disappointed. Gunn and DC have once again forgotten that families and females want to enjoy #superheroes , too...

Here's my #MovieReview for the Supergirl movie:

Does it count as failing the Bechdel test if three women are talking about a man who attacked them and then they fought him off, stole his car, ran into him, backed over him twice, put his corpse in his car, and drove off to hide him and the car out "on the moors"?

TIL that there's at least correlation between:

- When sawing women in half was all the rage amongst magicians 🪄
- Women's Suffrage in the US 😬

The always excellent Bechdel Cast with guest Kayla, a magic performer, about the film "The Prestige"

#PhantastikPrompts 10.1.2026:
Hat Deine Erfahrung mit dem eigenen Schreiben die Art wie Du fremde Bücher liest, verändert?

Aber sowas von. Ich suche verzweifelt Bücher, die mich außerhalb des klassischen Storyschemas erstaunen und zugleich meinen Anspruch (min. #Bechdeltest) an moderne Figuren befrieden. Jedesmal erraten zu können, was als nächstes passiert nervt. "Ich wette nun passiert dies oder das, weil das wäre am dramatischsten/wir sind im letzten Drittel des Buches, etc." Kennt ihr das?

Today we bring you an ep on #IndigenousFuturisms, #optimism in First Nations #storytelling, & 🧡#Ochrepunk🧡 with special guest, Matthew Ngamurarri Heffernan 🖤💛❤️

Matt is a Luritja man, software #developer, creative #technologist, #playwright, #poet, and #cybernetics PhD student 💻✍️🎭 He’s a developer at #Indigemoji & creator of sci-fi play #TheRobotDog 🤖🐕

Press play for a yarn about Matt’s work on the #JeddaTest (inspired by the #BechdelTest, focused on Indigenous rep), his play, and #Solarpunk ☀️

I believe The Lord of the Rings film trilogy technically passes the Bechdel test.

The only conversation between 2 female characters is when the little girl asks Éowyn, "where is momma?" and Éowyn calms her.

That's it. The only conversation between 2 female characters in just under 12 hours of film.

1/2 Very much enjoying the Bechdel Cast LIVE on the topic of the Star Wars prequels.

Here is EVERY TIME WOMEN INTERACT in the Star Wars prequels (it’s 2.5 minutes long)

Live podcast recording, CW, includes Obi Wan + Darth Maul erotic fan fiction 😆

And here, dear reader, is Marcia Lucas, George Lucas’s ex-wife, describing her reaction to The Phantom Menace (I learned of this from the podcast):


❝George is, in his heart and soul, a good guy and a talented filmmaker. I wish he would’ve kept directing [other kinds of] movies. But when I went to see Episode I — I had a friend who worked at ILM, who took me as a guest to a preview — I cried. I cried because I didn’t think it was very good. And I thought he had such a rich vein to mine, a rich palette to tell stories with. He had all those characters. I thought it was weird that the story was about this little boy who looked like he was six years old, but then later on he’s supposed to get with this princess who looked like she was twenty years old. There were things I didn’t like about the casting, and things I didn’t like about the story…it was a lot of eye candy.

#StarWars #bechdelTest

Hey our feature tonight passed the #BechdelTest too - The scene at the airport check in counter was two women talking and it wasn't about a man.

All in all a pretty good feature tonight.
