Definitely. I liken this to the original Spider-Man movies. They were bright and fun. They didn't need to get dark to have emotions playing. Man Of Steel seemed just so bloated with bleak effects and depression. It had no heart. When a character was sad, you did't even feel it because everything's sad in the movie.

When seeing Superman Returns even today, it still reminds me of the original movies and I think it touches a great emotional cord in that sense. If they had just put in the creative effort towards a sequel to Superman Returns, this Supergirl would fit so well into the universe between the two.

In a world where optimism in superhero movies is seen as a corny old throwback to the 60's, it's really refreshing to hear someone other than me shares this view!
