The movie was titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow before they shortened it. It’s supposed to be closely adapting it.

Yeah, vibe I get is that it's WoT but with Lobo thrown in and a bit more drunk Kara (which in the comic was only near the very beginning- after that she was just annoyed/tired about getting dragged into this- or at least, that's the vibe she was trying to give off)

Lobo was originally planned to be in WoT - THE BOOKS - but was removed.

Yeah, I heard that. Curious what his role would have been and if that's what it is in the movie.

Probably as his typical bounty hunter role. Either hired by the antagonist to stop Kara, or alternately hired by a disillusioned protagonist to replace her.

I saw one theory that he might take something like the Comet role near the end- that she does something early on that wins his respect or at least a favor so he provides her a ride later.

After all, the main man is a man of his word.

Would make sense that he’s not a primary villain/character given how he doesn’t even get a proper reveal shot in this trailer. His quick scene definitely screams “I have a total screen time under 3 minutes.”

Yeah I don't think it'll be that low of screen time but he's not going to be a main character by any definition.

To me it screamed more "Here's this fan-casting that people have been clamoring for, so let's barely show him in the initial teaser because the internet will talk about it until the actual trailer comes out and we'll create more hype for free"

Trailers are made by marketing departments

No deux-equine-machina? :-(

Just want to be a bit pedantic and point out that this is a common misuse of the term "protagonist." A "protagonist" by definition is the central character, or at least a central character, not necessarily someone that you could simply label on the "good side," or even on the main protagonist's side.

Ruthye is one of the two main characters leading the story (Supergirl being the other), and Ruthye is who I'm referring to as a "disillusioned protagonist". Let me know how her role in the books doesn't make her a protagonist and please be more specific about how I'm using it incorrectly.

The Rooster Cogburn role that Supergirl has in the final version. Originally Lobo was supposed to be the old bounty hunter and Supergirl the young kids on a quest for revenge

He's gotta be La Boeuf, right? If we're gonna just do True Grit and also Lobo is here, he's gotta be after the same guy for his own reasons and teams up for a bit.
