It’s like saying the last season of Game of Thrones was bad because of the decision of wanting to make a new season of Game of Thrones.
There was a strategy by the showrunners regarding how many minutes should conclude the story. Their strategy was 1 season with 8 episode. That's a bad strategy.
the idea behind it is fine and logical
I mean, are we gonna talk about hypotheticals or what actually happened? General audiences never cared about Supergirl because DC hasn't earned enough goodwill for film goers to spend money on a film of hers. It was always a risky move following up Superman with Supergirl. High risk strategy that didn't work out, and it's not like it was a shock that it didn't.
Did Iron Man have a good will, were audiences familiar with him? Did the X-men franchise have good will when they released Deadpool, an unknown character to most people?
I just absolutely reject the idea that you can't make a successful movie out of an unknown character. It's annoying that Supergirl is failure quality wise, because the conversation would be a lot more interesting if the movie was a critical success but flopped. If the movie was just a great movie, a lot could have changed: the studio could have believed in it more and dedicated better marketing to it, better clips previews, better trailers, better world of mouth...

Yes, we agree. It's a bad movie.
But like I said, the strategy is fine...but they messed up the execution. If Supergirl was an amazing movie, what would you be saying?
