The new Supergirl movie is sparking a fierce debate among fans by tackling the classic “should superheroes kill?” dilemma, only to undermine its own central argument in the final act.
Throughout the film, Supergirl (Milly Alcock) consistently pushes back against the idea of vengeance and violence, emphasizing that killing does not heal emotional trauma. However, by having the character ultimately resort to cold-blooded murder to resolve her conflict, the film abandons its established moral core, leaving many to wonder if the narrative arc was sacrificed for a superficial “hell yeah” moment.
