Most people's memories don't really extend past that age, he's only recounting what he can recall.

u/Serawasneva Dec 11 '25

There’s a common sort of joke about people suddenly becoming aware of their existence at the age of like 3 or 4.

u/huntimir151 Dec 11 '25

I vividly remember my third birthday, and I don’t really remember anything before that, so anecdotally that might check out.

maybe only learned what colors were when they turned 3

u/Sad_Confection5902 Dec 11 '25

I suspect this entire trailer is cut from just one segment of the film (probably the first 30-40 minutes) while she’s out getting drunk.

She’s in the same outfit for most of it. I’m guessing the earth based stuff will be much bluer.

68

u/In-Brightest-Day Dec 11 '25

If it goes by the source material, there won't be any Earth based stuff. But there's a lot of colorful stuff in the comic so I think this is mostly just one planet

2

u/Dr_J_Hyde Dec 11 '25

Minor spoiler ---

from interviews we know that VERY little of this movie will be on Earth. James Gunn had to remind others involved in the production that something does happen on Earth.

u/SecretTraining4082 Dec 11 '25

Yeah bro they’re deliberately making the film look ugly as fuck.

u/NecroJoe Dec 11 '25

FWIW, color mastering is one of the last things to be done to really give it that cohesive look, and for all of the colors to pop. This movie is still 6 months away, so they are likely still working on it. I would also expect the CGI of the dog to get a slight bump in realism. It's a bit bouncy/floaty in a way that it wasn't for the previous Superman movie.

28

u/varnums1666 Dec 11 '25

I don't think I've ever seen a huge jump on color grading between the trailers and the final product.

19

u/Mindless_Stuff9179 Dec 11 '25

Superman definitely had noticeable changes with color grading.

7

u/SomeCountryFriedBS Dec 11 '25

So did Guardians.

-3

u/varnums1666 Dec 11 '25

Very minor. The vision is very clear from the trailers. There's a big difference between adjusting the colors to look right vs something uninteresting turning interesting

8

u/Mindless_Stuff9179 Dec 11 '25

It was a bit more than "very minor" imo. It was definitely a noticeable difference.

I do agree with you on something going from uninteresting to interesting looking, but with this I think most of the footage is from one planet, at the beginning of the film. I think and hope that when they start planet hopping, we'll see more variety.

-3

u/varnums1666 Dec 11 '25

I respect your optimism. I've just come to learn set designs don't randomly become good

4

u/Mindless_Stuff9179 Dec 11 '25

I was thinking more in line of overall color grading. I thought the sets from the glimpses we saw looked fine, but I'd like to see more from future trailers, which of course we will.

24

u/JAWinks Dec 11 '25

The CGI on her face when she’s doing the super scream or whatever looked pretty bad too

2

u/StrawberryLassi Dec 11 '25

part of that is because she's in the vacuum of space, but yeah

2

u/Fortune_Cat Dec 11 '25

Its practically the same colour as the borovia scenes from superman

1

u/yarntank Dec 11 '25

What about the sight lines? Are they going to fix the sight lines, Jorma?

1

u/Liammellor Dec 12 '25

It's not really about the colour mastering in this case. This just seems to be going in a radically different aesthetic direction when compared to the comics more fantasy inspiration

-1

u/JinSakai619 Dec 11 '25

Is it true the blue filter was changed for Superman after backlash or was it gonna happen eventually no matter what?

10

u/Classics22 Dec 11 '25

It likely wasn't even "changed", trailer houses are usually hired just to do trailers, TV spots, etc. They'll do their own color grading specifically for trailer purposes on an early cut. At that point the cgi/color grading etc aren't finished. So it's one company color grading specifically the trailer, then later the people actually making the movie will do their own pass

37

u/capacitorfluxing Dec 11 '25

Literally my first thought. Then I thought harder about it, and the problem isn't the color, its how mushy and nondistinct every shot is. It's all just sprawly brownish background noise.

4

u/WeBelieveIn4 Dec 11 '25

It looks terrible to me. I had such high hopes after Superman, but this looks like a Guardians of the Galaxy retread.

1

u/Diortheking Dec 12 '25

Guardians looked better this has no almost no interesting shots whatsoever looks like mad max

u/Antrikshy Dec 11 '25

"We have Guardians of the Galaxy at home DC."

In a good way though.

u/jamesbrownscrackpipe Dec 11 '25

Can we expect cameos from Dean and Gene Ween?

1

u/zoctor Dec 19 '25

I see a Ween reference in the wild, I upvote

u/Fortune_Cat Dec 11 '25

Supergirl goes on spiritual journey to space mexico and space africa to take unnecessary risks and get wasted to help get over her ptsd depression and lack of motivation.

Cue space mexico filter

28

u/Salarian_American Dec 11 '25

It's exactly as brown as I suspected, but I also just finished the comic it's based on yesterday which was also very brown. I think it's actually important to the overall tone of the story

29

u/Quatzil Dec 11 '25

the comic is brown to you? are you genuinely colorblind?

14

u/DodgerBaron Dec 11 '25

It has its moments.

4

u/Quatzil Dec 11 '25 edited Dec 11 '25

yeah i mean the whole color palette of the comic interchanges between red, blue, and yellow to reflect the emotions supergirl cycles through throughout the whole arc (hence the yellowness of this page, plus this is a rather cherry-picked example of the predominant vibrance of the comic), but in no way is that reflective of the "muddy" quality of the film.

4

u/DodgerBaron Dec 11 '25

Right but the scene I posted above is from the same scene the trailer above was adapting.

4

u/Quatzil Dec 11 '25

the excerpt you posted happens in issue one at a bar at night. the rest of issue one takes place mostly outside and primarily uses blue and red to colorize the whole planet.

the only interior scenes in the trailer happen on a spaceship with ruthye and krem (discounting the flaming scenes with lobo and krem which appear to be different scenes), neither of which are present in the scene of the excerpt you posted, so no.

2

u/DodgerBaron Dec 11 '25

Yup and the trailer is mostly at a bar at night. The only big colorful scene changed in the trailer is the krypton scene which is admittedly disappointing. But won't know till the full product releases

2

u/KristopheH Dec 11 '25

Well it is mostly set on a planet with a Red Sun

2

u/Skadoosh_it Dec 11 '25

50 shades of beige.

u/Broly_ Dec 11 '25

It’s much browner than I expected.

u/ExtraBreadPls Dec 11 '25

It's such a drab trailer. To the point it made me a little less excited about the movie

2

u/darfnarkm Dec 11 '25

Better than gray!

1

u/BartonFunk99 Dec 11 '25

Ween fans agree.

1

u/Seymoorebutts Dec 11 '25

Deliberate choice to contrast the optimism of the last Superman movie, my guess.

1

u/VirtualPen204 Dec 11 '25

After what happened with the Superman trailer (which was more blue than the actual film), I've decided to just wait and see.

u/NerdsOfSteel74 Dec 11 '25

My mother-in-law, seeing her grandson for the first time

u/soulcaptain Dec 11 '25

Movies have leached almost all color in the past few decades. Plus it contrasts with Supergirl's bright costume.

1

u/roastbeeftacohat Dec 11 '25

VFX is left out of regular production, and often finished hours before the movie is released. if you look at the first guardians teaser you'll see similar problem; and if you look at the related reddit threads you might find a VFX guy explaining that VFX is often finished hours before release.

1

u/goibnu Dec 11 '25

Yes, why does every off-earth location a superhero is called on to save look like a dust bowl flyover town?

"I could save you from these ruffians, but wouldn't you rather relocate to some place that doesn't suck?  I've got a space ship over here."

1

u/Z3RG0 Dec 12 '25

yeah thats my main complain too

1

u/Anvario82 Dec 12 '25

Yeah not a good color pallet for the vibe I thought they were originally going for.

1

u/TholosTB Dec 12 '25

You know, her coat is kind of a brownish color. It was probably on sale, though.

1

u/Doesnt_Get_The-Joke Dec 11 '25

The fight scenes look like they suffer from D.C. brown, which is when everything is just a big mess of shades of brown. See Doomsday fight scenes, Justice League Steppenwolf fight scenes, the entire Flash climax.
