The Supergirl we need! (2026)
Supergirl (2026) isn’t just another reboot—it’s a raw, powerful reimagining of what it means to be a hero. Raised through trauma instead of kindness, Kara Zor-El chooses hope when she could choose destruction. And that choice might just reshape the entire DCU—and us.

But here's the real question: can you recreate the impact of Squid Game without understanding the culture that birthed it? Or are we just watching a billion-dollar brand try to squeeze the soul out of something brutally honest—and brutally Korean?
