How I would make a supergirl movie

So the DCEU (marvel movies but superman and batman) is fucked up. Apart from Jason Momoa managing to look good in a comic-accurate Aquaman costume in a movie taking place in underwater Wakanda and Gal Gadot's good looks/star power crushing the failure that is WW84. Even making the horned alien who looks like Liam Neeson spiky and more jacked in a 4 hour movie with Snyder's signature dark filter didn't work.


So here would be my idea of the ideal supergirl movie. 
 

She would have to be 17-18. Not as young as some of the comics (15-16) but not some old wrinkled actress either. 17-18 hits the perfect spot for getting an actress that can be physically imposing, well rounded and experienced, because the actress can be in her early to mid 20s. We can't have a grossly underaged supergirl because my ideal costume choices would be true to the 2000s run, meaning if some 15/16 year old actress wore that, it would be Cuties 2.0.


The movie takes place on Krypton for the first half (at least), as a sort of prequel. Plus it shows off some snazzy CGI at the same time, along with a "Krypton before the fall" kind of melacholy. 
 

The villain should be Brainiac. Injustice 2 made him physically imposing and adaptable to the big screen. Make a jacked Brainiac with some shiny chrome armor and some tentacle ships. Make some convoluted plot about Zor-El being the first to send his daughter off to Earth in a prototype pod that his brother Jor-El later copies to send superman. Or make Brainiac attack a Kryptonian colonial planet/outpost where Zor-El and his daughter is stationed. Either way, we need some cryofreezed supergirl shenanigans to match the timelines right so she emerges as a 17-18 year old from a crash landed pod on Earth. 
 

The movie would be classic Zack Snyder with a splash of horror. Krypton/whatever colonial planet is being fucked up and torn apart by a jacked green alien in a shiny metal suit. Zor-El sacrifices himself to get his daughter to Earth.


There are only two possible actresses for this role. They need to be blonde, innocent-looking, eye candy (otherwise there's no strategic reason to have a younger Clark Kent) and in their mid-20s at the latest. We can't have some 35 year old actress who will age out of the role after 2-3 movies. 


The two actresses are Erin Moriarty (Starlight in The Boys) and Freya Allan (Ciri in The Witcher). I recognize it's cliche to have Freya Allan being supergirl alongside Cavill. But both have the ideal look (although Allan doesn't look American enough and Moriarty is a tad bit old), at least with the candidate pool in 2022. Moriarty basically played Supergirl without crippling anger issues and a different colour scheme in The Boys. I even thought her portrayal was pretty accurate to comics Supergirl. Freya Allan's acting is subpar in The Witcher, but has the looks/build for it (innocent looking kid who can fuck up the planet in a single tantrum). Although she looks too Nordic/British, like a Swedish Supergirl instead of an American one. But you can juxtapose a convoluted plot of her crash landing in Europe, undiscovered and her powers dormant for a few years (picking up British culture, accent, etc) until she's juiced up on enough solar power. 
 

I'm a fucking god at directing movies. I should've went into a TMT group or MBB then exit opped to Disney or AT&T.

 

Da boobs implies a plus sized actress which is politically correct but not comic accurate. That's powergirl with the double Ds, not supergirl. Besides, a comic accurate (2000s run) costume would be the blue miniskirt and exposed abdomen, which is plenty of sex appeal.
