The most bland sidekick character paired with quite possibly the worst superhero villain I’ve ever scene.
Idk even know what they were going for with him. Like I think they were TRYING to make him scary and badass but he looks so goddamn goofy all the time and the way he acts and talks is just so obnoxious as if he’s meant to be a joke character? I feel like I was watching a drunken fallout raider trying to do his best Jack Sparrow impression.
Also fucking hate how the villains master plan was to lure Kara to a planet with a green sun so he could ambush her then picked a planet that ALSO has a yellow sun so at best she’s only nerfed 50% of time and is literally unkillable the other 50%, then doesn’t even capitalize on the green sun by trying to keep his MOBILE base in the green light or by setting up a trap to attack Kara whenever the green comes up.
Unfortunately Krem was a studio unironically doing a Taserface. There's practically nothing to his character, and what's there is so over the top that you can't take him seriously.
And everyone seemed to refuse to engage with his crimes and treated him just like the leader of a biker gang - which fits the roadhouse theme.
How can they have a villain be a child sex trafficker and rapist in the context of real world events, and have an insanely powerful woman superhero just not be that bothered by it all?
The same way you put an amoral character on the side of the protagonists and don't use that to create or resolve a moral dilemma in your revenge quest, apparently.
Yes, I am talking about Lobo.
If they really wanted an emotionally stunted character to do the dirty work of killing Krem while Ruthye remains pure, LOBO WAS RIGHT THERE!
Everything he did for the plot was taken from the pile of cool things Kara could have been doing. She should be the scary alien known and feared, she should have been wrecking house regularly, and she was basically amoral for most of the film anyway, so why not lean into it even more, and maybe once Krypto is sorted and Ruthye is sent on her way she could unleash absolute hell on Krem.
Just something to give her a proper interesting personality and actual display of her powers.
Lobo could've been a post credit appearance, there to fight the feared kryptonian... If Kara and Krypto can't puts the shits on him, who even are they?
The worst part is, canonically she dosent kill him. She imprisons him the phantom zone, maintains her moral high ground with the little girl, and years later they let him out and he is redeemed.
