It’s not necessarily a problem that Supergirl feels reminiscent of Guardians of the Galaxy, and it’s easy to see why. Guardians of the Galaxy was a hugely influential sci-fi film, and many others have since borrowed its style. Its playful approach to a usually serious genre has appeared in other franchises, like Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and DC even tried it with Suicide Squad. The original Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic was also created after Guardians of the Galaxy became popular. But, is a movie so similar to James Gunn’s most famous work the best direction for the new DC Universe, especially as it’s the first film he isn’t directing himself?
