You just have issues with people not liking things. Nobody is confused. Nobody needs you to explain this to them. Nobody needs you to explain what an opinion is or what the term "subjective to the person" means. Just because I didn't care for a particular comic in no way means others won't enjoy it. I didn't care for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. I do encourage everyone to read it and make their own judgment about the story. Your point doesn't make sense though. People can dislike something and that doesn't make it bad for everyone. If I can be honest, it seems to me like you post here just to start arguments. I have to agree with what @ZacKing said earlier - you have the opportunity here to discuss the film and have yet to do so.

Actually, it's you who is very uninformed. I've read the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic. I didn't care for it. You seem to have serious issues with people disliking something. What are you on about? I said exactly both. Please learn to read. I can use an even larger font to quote what I posted again for you if you need it.

Since you seem to have missed this in my post -

All of which is meaningless for me. Winning an award doesn't automatically mean I can and should like the story. I think its great this writer got recognized for their work and I'm happy there's people out there who enjoyed it. It's not the depiction of Supergirl I'd prefer. The JL/JLU animated series along with the Superman and Batman animated series. There were some great storylines in those that I think would adapt very well to the big screen.
-
So I've read. Well, not every comic depiction is a winner. I wouldn't have gone with that, but congrats to those who will enjoy it. I really liked Milly Alcock on House of the Dragon, I wish Supergirl was getting something better.

I liked the Justice Gang's costumes, Hawkgirl especially. Initially, I thought they looked a bit weird, but they'd grown on me and having now seen them in action, I agree they look good. I also like the brighter coloring. Man of Steel was much too dark and muted, although Superman's costume did improve in BvS and the Snyder Justice League. I still think Superman looked a little goofy in this with the obvious muscle suit underneath. My only real complaint is the S. It looks more like a diagonal line than an "S" shape to me. I do like the much brighter coloring on it and that its made to look like something other than a generic spandex bodysuit.

I saw it over the weekend. Overall I enjoyed it. There were some good parts, some parts I didn't like, but overall it was a good movie. I do like the brighter, more hopeful/inspiring version of Superman than the Snyder films. Casting was well done. The Jor-El message thing was a bit of a head scratcher and I don't know if I liked how Supergirl was depicted. It was an entertaining film and that's good enough for me. David Corenswet does a great job as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan I think had the most character makes a great Lois Lane. They had good chemistry together. That was me. I still think the suit looks goofy. I'm not sold on the S symbol.

I always thought she'd fit right in with an Armor Wars project and pairing her up with Rhodey. Maybe that's the obvious thing to do so Marvel tried for something different. Shame that the whole Rhodey revelation was done in Secret Invasion. I agree with you that overall the show isn't horrible. I think Secret Invasion was a lot worse. I do like Dominque Thorne in the role.

I don't "scorn" the writers or the show. You'll note I've said the show wasn't all that bad and there's just one or two parts I find badly written. I just don't find the writers work on parts of this series well done and fleshed out. Is that ok with you? That's not me. That's the dialogue from Wakanda Forever and Ironheart. I'm not offended, nor do I dislike that she's making poor choices. Most superheroes do at one point or another. That's part of her journey. I'm offering my opinion on an aspect of the story that I don't find particularly well conceived that makes the character unrelatable for me. Again, is this ok with you? You'll note Pym, Stark, Gates and Tesla didn't need to turn to a life of crime to achieve what they did. But ok, let's set those few examples aside. Here are a few more from the real world. Mozart wrote his first concerto at 17. Blaise Pascal wrote a treatise on vibrating bodies at age 9. Enrico Fermi published his first scientific papers at age 19 and earned his doctorate at 21. Isaac Newton wrote his paper on the Binomial Theorem at age 22. Albert Einstein published his Annus Mirabilis at age 26. Alan Turing became a fellow at Cambridge at 24 and published his "On Computable Numbers" paper at age 24. Surely Riri Williams - super genius - is at least on par with some of them? I can list many more if you like. By the way, none of those examples needed to turn to crime either. Also, I'm not "miffed" she hasn't already made millions. I find it poorly written that someone of her talents and intellect decides to waste her opportunities, of which there would be many open to her... many that wouldn't be available to anyone else. Yes, I don't like to see people waste their potential and blow their opportunities. So what? How did his money help him when he created his first armor? Stark built the miniature arc reactor and that armor in cave from literal scraps. His money had nothing to do with it and was of no help to him there. It was the answer that was dumb and evasive. I already know the answer - you don't like other people offering criticisms of things that you like, and it's very clear that no amount of criticism, no matter how minor, is acceptable for you.
-
I completely disagree. You can't get much worse than what these "writers" came up with for that part of her story. All of which is irrelevant to the story of Ironheart. Riri is supposed to be a super genius who's smarter than Stark, Pym, Gates and Tesla. People less smart than her could come up with technologies they could sell for big money to fund their personal projects, but Riri can't? I guess you're just going to continue to evade the question. No problem.
-
Come on, this isn't rocket science. Riri invented a Vibranium detector. She can't sell it or the patent to it to some company for big money? What do you think something like that would be worth? She created an all new AI system on the show. She can't sell that for money to an AI firm? She can't develop other technologies or devices that she can turn around and sell to large corporations for huge sums of money and use those funds to finance her personal armor project? What's the difficulty in understanding that? Tesla sold all kinds of inventions to make money. Riri Williams super genius can't? I understand that these aren't your forums. It's not what I asked you.
-
That's not always universally true. She also could, you know, negotiate like intelligent people do. "Sorry, you can't have my armor, but I'll build you this instead which would be just as profitable for you"... like the Vibranium detector. You didn't answer the question. Is there anything that people are allowed to question or criticize or dislike with this stuff? I'm not asking Mods.

You didn't answer the question. Is there anything that people are allowed to question or criticize or dislike with this stuff? Exactly this. It seems more and more people are too fragile to have their opinions challenged. For me, I just found parts of the story poorly contrived and would've liked to have seen something better. That's all. I'm not saying the entire series sucks or the actress sucks or anything of the sort. Unfortunately, that gets treated like bashing here by a select few. Her turning to crime is really the only objection I have and would've liked to have seen something different. Tony Stark built his first arc reactor and armor out of scraps with almost no tools. Peter Parker built stuff by dumpster diving and using his school chemistry set. Riri Williams - who we've been told over and over is smarter than all of them - can't at least do the same? Crime was her only alternative?

There is a difference between illegal and immoral/dumb.

Why didn't Thanos use the Infinity stones to create limitless self-replicating resources instead of wiping out half the population of the universe? Is there anything that people are allowed to question or criticize or dislike with this stuff?
