Trailer Time: Supergirl - Official Teaser

I have to say that of all the Supergirl storylines from the comic books, the one that interested me the least was Tom King's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.  Here she is drunk and cynical, something that has not been a part of her lore.  So I was not very happy when it was announced that this story would be the basis for the upcoming Supergirl movie.

But I have to say... I kind of dig it.

I could be totally misreading the movie, but it looks less like she's an insufferable Mary Sue and more that she is a broken person on a character arc.  Last summer's Superman portrayed a person who was morally righteous from the beginning and remained in that goodness, like Steve Rogers.  Supergirl looks like someone who is a great deal of pain and is numbing it with alcohol and violence, like Tony Stark.  If they balance this out correctly, they could satisfyingly foil one off of the other.

The thing that struck me is that Milly Alcock actually looks cool.  A lot of the overpowered female protagonists in recent sci-fi (Rey Skywalker, Carol Danvers) may have some good qualities, but they did not come off as cool.  I like the way Supergirl struts in her trench coat and smirks at the hordes who are surrounding her.

And even though James Gunn is not directing it, Supergirl feels like it was filmed in the same universe as Guardians of the Galaxy.

Now, I am not completely sold on the movie.  Like I said, the source material is very cynical.  The line "Gods are not that kind," is fine in the context of her pain, but it could hint at a larger anti-religious bent.  Also, I hate the tag line about Superman: "He sees the good in everyone.  I see the truth."  This would imply that we are not all good and redeemable at our core, which is a very anti-Christian way to look at the world.  My hope is that this is a statement from earlier in her character arc where she moves slowly from cynicism to sincerity.  

I also like the tease of Lobo on screen.

Like I said, I wasn't expecting to really like Alcock's Supergirl, but I am more open to this movie now than before seeing the teaser.

Thoughts?
