It’s why so many of the DC stuff is so boring. These are superpowers that have minimum viable characters wrapped around them. The only interesting thing that can happen to them is changing their powers.
I watched this movie, and they really tried to make it interesting. She starts as a total screwup and arcs towards greatness. But none of the motivation makes any sense and so most of her decisions come down to “if she didn’t do this the plot wouldn’t move forward.” Frankly, that’s how almost every superhero movie feels now.
I think the problem with this movie is that a) it wasn’t for kids and b) it wasn’t for manchildren who wear clothes with Batman logos on them. Not a lot of market left after that.
