That sounds like a brilliant idea right before opening a kids movie.
Hmmm… who’s having all the kids today? Christians? Right. So let’s make a movie for kids and then crap on Christian fathers who pile their kids into minivans to go to the movies? Brilliant!!
You know who’s out there right now, knee-deep in Goldfish crumbs and diaper bags, still somehow dragging four kids to the movies every weekend? Exactly the guys Milly Alcock just decided to publicly point and laugh at like they’re the punchline of the industry. “Look at this loser — Dad of four, Christian. Hilarious, right?”
Let’s imagine the Warner Bros. marketing meeting:
“Hey, we’ve got a big-budget Supergirl movie aimed squarely at families. What’s our play?”
“Simple. We’ll have our lead actress mock the exact demographic that still believes in 2.5 kids, a minivan, and paying full ticket price for popcorn. That’ll get the butts in seats!”
Brilliant!!! Just absolute Rachel Zegler-level audience targeting.
Dad of four, Christian” accounts.
In a new interview with Variety, Alcock discussed the backlash surrounding her rise to the lead role in DC Studios’ upcoming “Supergirl” movie and said she has learned to tune out online outrage as scrutiny around blockbuster franchises intensifies.
Specifically, Alcock said she saw some of the critics of the movie had bios that said, “Dad of four, Christian.” To that she said, “I mean, whose opinion do you really care about? If you’re p—ing the right kind of people off, you’re doing OK.”
It’s like if McDonald’s launched a new Happy Meal and Grimace came out swinging, yelling “F’ you, soccer moms who actually feed their kids!” Then wondered why sales tanked.
Christians are, statistically, one of the last groups in America still having above-replacement-level kids. They’re the ones who haven’t given up on the concept of dragging the whole litter to see bright-colored heroes punch things on a Saturday afternoon. They’re the reliable audience in a sea of childless 30-year-olds doom-scrolling about how owning a home is fascist.
And Hollywood’s genius response in 2026? “Let’s attack the dads.”
It’s almost performance art at this point. They looked at The Marvels, Madame Web, The Acolyte, and every other recent flaming wreckage and said, “You know what those had in common? Not enough open contempt for normal parents.”
So yeah, keep going, Milly. Double down. Call them names. Say their minivans are lame. Post a meme about how many Bibles they own. I’m sure that’ll make Woman of Tomorrow crush it at the box office when the only people left buying tickets are the same blue-haired media Twitter accounts that swore Birds of Prey was a masterpiece.
Can’t wait for the post-release Variety article:
“Why Supergirl Underperformed and Also It’s Your Fault For Being Offended.”
The Roman Empire fell slower than this business model.

I haven’t seen the movie, and as a 74 year old man, have long outgrown the genre.
Still, curiosity compels me to ask for specific examples of the offenses?
Thank you

Is there anything on Earth that doesn’t offend you? You are not capable of actually enjoying anything but outrage.
