In the Captain America movie we learn that the current [MCU] President was near the same blast that created the first Hulk. Yadda yadda, the President becomes the Red Hulk and ends up in jail. Harrison Ford plays the President and he's sorrowful for what happened and Captain America is also sad.

In Superman, Superman explicitly uses his powers to stop a genocidal war and the dictator gets killed. At one point Lois Lane questions if just having super powers gives Clark the right to do anything he wants, even if it's good?

If you haven't seen the MCU movies, see 'Black Panther' first. Then see 'Captain America - The Winter Soldier.' imho, those are the only two that would be interesting if you took out the super hero stuff.

Superman is a pretty fun movie. It was made by a fan boy, so it can be confusing if you don't know who The Element Man or Krypto are.

Sandman can serve as an introduction to Metamorpho. And I'm not sure why we need an explanation for Krypto; it's a super dog - is that not enough?

Yeah, I don't know shit about DC and I was fine not having any real background on anyone. Krypto especially.

After watching Supergirl though, I was annoyed.

I liked the plot, but it was too shallow and heavy handed. They could have spent a little more time on the writing. The bad guy was absolutely one dimensional and completely forgettable.

Also, so many deus ex machina macguffins. I guess you need to when you have a "Kryptonian" but they should have just kept her on a red planet and had her deal with everything without her super powers.

Then after she wins, have her get to a yellow sun and do super stuff for the fans. But the 72 hour poison, kryptonite darts, "Krem has the strength of a thousand men", ... that was just so lame.

Where is their production money going because it's clearly not being spent on writing?

Tap for spoilerAt least she killed someone. So tired of homicidal maniacs being "brought in for justice."
