Supergirl 84: The Charm and Innocence of DC's Golden Age πŸ₯°πŸ₯°, Hero Review

Review by @promete0sz πŸ†#103 πŸ”₯2 🎡52 🎬219 πŸ“Ί181 Β· 5h Β· of Supergirl

I've seen a lot of reviews of the recently released Supergirl, but I'm surprised no one has recommended the original Supergirl from back in the dayβ€”it's a retro gem from the '80s 🀩🀩

I think the superhero fandom has really lost sight of that happy, genuine feeling of being kids, just having fun while watching people in superhero costumes on the big screen πŸ˜…πŸ˜…. Being adults makes us view these stories with an excessive rigidity that I feel is impossible to satisfyβ€”and that’s not the point of watching these shows in the first place πŸ€”πŸ€”. nor is the idea for them to be mere popcorn moviesβ€”because that strips them of their depth and their essence. Through their heroic adventures, they bring us positive life messages while making us smile and even shedding the occasional tear πŸ₯²πŸ₯²πŸ‘πŸ»

Supergirl (the 1984 film) is a movie that leaves behind what I consider to be the definitive Supergirlβ€”regardless of its scriptβ€”thanks to the charm in Helen Slater’s innocent performance as this version of Kara Zor-El. To my eyes, it felt as though I saw the character step off the page to become flesh and blood, filled with many noble and beautiful emotions 😊😊

He visto muchas Reseñas de la recientemente estrenada Supergirl pero me sorprende nadie haya recomendado la genuina Supergirl de antaño que es una genialidad retro de los 80 🀩🀩

Pienso que el Fandom de Super Heroes ha dejado muy de lado la feliz y genuina sensacion de ser niΓ±os disfrutando mientras ven en la pantalla grande personas con trajes de Super Heroes πŸ˜…πŸ˜…, el ser adultos nos hace ver las historias con un exceso de rigidez que percibo se hace imposible de satisfacer y esa no es la idea en la intencion de ver estos productos πŸ€”πŸ€”, tampoco la idea es que sean palomiteros y ya porque les quita reflexiones, les quita su esencia, ellos con sus aventuras heroicas nos aportan mensajes positivos de vida mientras nos sacan una sonrisa y alguna que otra lagrima πŸ₯²πŸ₯²πŸ‘πŸ»

Supergirl el film de 1984 es una pelicula que deja como legado a La que considero es la Supergirl definitiva, independientemente de su guion, la gracia en el comportamiento e interpretacion inocente de Helen Slater para esta version de Kara Zor-el pues a mis ojos me parece que vi al personaje salir del papel para volverse carne, hueso y muchos sentimientos nobles y bonitos 😊😊

I’m sharing the trailer with you, and I want you to let go of that mental burden of expecting these stories to have overly complex narrativesβ€”just surrender yourself to Kara’s embrace in this version of the character so she can lift you up in her strong arms and carry you soaring through the skies on a heartwarming Kryptonian adventure πŸ€—πŸ€—

What shines brightest in the movie is the charm and innocence conveyed by actress Helen Slaterβ€”she has the look, the aesthetic, the muscles, and the purity that the character needs to embody

Her way of speaking and her clumsy behaviorβ€”due to her lack of detailed knowledge of human cultureβ€”made me feel an immediate affection for her. I see her as the perfect complement to Christopher Reeve’s Superman, especially in a scene where the character shows her admiration and affection for her cousin. That’s when I really identified with her, because I, too, admire and appreciate that great hero in his timeless, classic version

One detail I don’t want to forget is that Helen Slater looks a lot like Alicia Silverstone to me. Let me know in the comments if you notice a strong resemblance between them in this movie, haha πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰

It’s true that the film has a lot of narrative flaws; it’s very much a childish comic book movie with very poor conflict resolutions and transitions between characters that greatly undermine the story it’s trying to tell.

But the villainβ€”who bears the brunt of most of the incoherent and childish flaws in the storyβ€”is actually a much better villain than many villains in Marvel movies who wouldn’t hurt a fly, haha. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. The movie has its flaws, which mainly occur at the beginning as it tries to establish the character, but I’ll give it this: in the end, the villain really does commit some evil deeds 😱😱

Les comparto el Trailer y quirro que se quiten ese peso mental de ver estas historias con una complejidad narrativa exagerada, simplemente entregate a los brazos de Kara en la version de este personaje para que ella te pueda cargar en sus fuertes brazos y llevarte a volar hacia los cielos de una tierna aventura Kryptoniana πŸ€—πŸ€—

Lo que mas brilla en la pelicula es la gracia e inocencia que transmite la actriz Helen Slater, tiene la visual, la estetica, los musculos y la pureza que debe transmitir el personaje

Su forma de hablar y comportamiento torpe al no conocer a detalle la cultura humana, me hizo tener un cariΓ±o inmediato por ella, la veo plenamente como el complemento perfecto del Superman de Cristopher Reeve ya que hay una escena donde el personaje nos enseΓ±a su admiracion y cariΓ±o por su primo, alli me senti identificado con ella porque yo tambien admiro y aprecio a ese gran Heroe en su version clasica eterna

Un detalle que no quiero se me olvide, es que Helen Slater se me parece mucho a Alicia Silverstone, dime en comentarios si notas un gran parecido entre ellas para este film jaja πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰

Es cierto que el film tiene muchas fallos narrativos, es muy comic infantil con resoluciones de conflicto y transiciones entre personajes muy negativas que afectan enormemente a la historia que se quiere contar

Pero la Villana en la cual recae la mayoria de los aspectos incoherentes e infantiles negativos que suceden en la historia pues es mucho mejor villana que muchos villanos en films de Marvel que no daΓ±an ni una mosca jaja πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚, tiene sus defectos el film que suceden principalmente al inicio al querer establecer el personaje pero rescato que la villana al final si que comete maldades 😱😱

The chemistry between Kara and her human counterpart, Linda Lee, was the best part of the movie. It’s incredible to me that, as Supergirl, I enjoyed watching her fly, but as a human, I enjoyed simply watching her interact with others 🀩🀩

The beautiful, sweet, funny, and feminine way she experienced love for the first time is one of the most heartwarming things I’ve ever seen in a superhero movie. I laughed out loudβ€”in the best possible wayβ€”at how she reacted to the romantic events unfolding around her. Keep an eye out for this; I hope you’ll enjoy it too πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

By the way, the soundtrack is goodβ€”it’s not the best ever, but in the climax, you can really feel the energy the music is meant to convey to highlight the character’s heroic actions, help you identify with her, and connect with her.

I think the movie stumbles a bit by trying too hard to be like old-school comics; it’s an extremely ambitious story with technological gadgets mixed in with satanic magic.... But the execution was very silly, dragging on for too many minutes.

The film fails miserably in terms of the script, but not when it comes to the characters’ charismatic personalitiesβ€”it’s a movie you can happily watch with the family on HBO Max πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ»

La quimica humana por parte de Kara en su contraparte llamada Linda Lee fue lo mejor del film, me es increible que como Supergirl la disfrute volando pero como humana la disfrute simplemente interactuando 🀩🀩

La forma bonita, dulce, graciosa y femenina en que conocio por primera vez el amor, es que es de lo mas tierno que he visto en peliculas de Super Heroes, rei a carcajadas maximas muy positivamente con su forma de reaccionar ante los eventos romanticos que sucedian en torno a ella, atentos a esto que espero tambien les agrade πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

Por cierto buena banda sonora, no es la mejor de todas pero en el desenlace si se percibe la energia que debe transmitir la musica para realzar las acciones heroicas del personaje e identificarlo, conectar con ella

Pienso la pelicula tropieza tontamente al querer ser muy comic de antaΓ±o, es una historia en extremo ambiciosa con artefactos tecnologicos que se mezclan con magia satanica.... Pero la ejecucion fue muy boba quitando demasiados minutos para llevarse a cabo

El film falla atrozmente en guion pero no es asi en la personalidad carismatica de los personajes, un film para ver felizmente en familia por HBO Max πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ»

I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.
