Grant Morrison is disappointed in Jason Momoa's Lobo

Grant Morrison, the acclaimed comics writer, expressed disappointment with Jason Momoa's portrayal of Lobo, the notorious Czarnian bounty hunter, in the upcoming DC Studios film "Supergirl." In his Substack blog Xanaduum, Morrison praised the movie's lead, Milly Alcock, stating that the best and most moving scenes involved her performance.

However, he deemed Momoa's performance of Lobo as one of the worst he had ever seen in a film, describing it as baffling, given Momoa's usual talent and the character's ideal fit for his abilities. Morrison also criticized the film's storyline, noting that it could have been significantly improved by having Supergirl bring Krypto the Superdog to the yellow sun world, which would have made him invulnerable again.

Furthermore, he dismissed the film's antagonist, Krem of the Yellow Hills, as dull and low-level. Morrison later reassessed their initial thoughts on the Lanterns TV series, stating that it had picked up nicely, but they were not sure if it was worth giving further opinions until the end.
