I am sad I didn't love it.

I agree, I thought the emotional impact of Kara was the best thing about this movie and wish they had focused on this more. In the movie and the trailer, she said “Clark sees the good in everyone and I see the truth,” and I thought they were gonna do more with that juxtaposition. I especially thought they were gonna do more because Kara was so adamant that Ruthye not do something because of the consequences and she talked as if she spoke of them personally. So I’m thinking okay, they’re gonna show us how Kara did this and regretted it. But then they didn’t? I mean, Kara was still the one to do it at the end but I wish we got more introspection on why she was okay with doing that despite her “goodness.”

Just got out from own viewing. Millie Alcock is a SPECTACULAR Kara and I loved watching her. Lobo was fun but by the end, me and my friend were like, "Dude, why are you still here?" One thing that strikes me about these "Don't get revenge, because you're really only hurting yourself," themes is how... gummy the antagonists tend to be. Contrast that with Superman, where we begin the movie with Clark getting the shit kicked out of him, flying across continents. So we can easily assume his opponent is likely similarly matched and won't easily die. In Supergirl, there's no clear sense of how much punishment the mobs of baddies can take before "death". So these protagonists are ostensibly mowing people down left, right and center, but death only seems to be considered when it's narratively important. Also, usually the characters delivering that lesson are coming from a place of personal experience. But, as you said, Kara's family died of planetary radiation poisoning. So her personal journey of never resolving her grief and anger with losing her family doesn't really mesh with the story of a girl who lost her family violently right in front of her.

I enjoyed the film, but there were things that didn’t quite work for me. Milly was excellent, and I appreciate the slow march to more complicated female characters in super hero fare these last few years. It feels like with Wakanda Forever, Thunderbolts and this movie, woman are more allowed to be messy, which is a departure from the more clean cut/symbolic approach in Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman. That said it felt like a bunch of movies I’d seen before cobbled together, from Star Wars, to Guardians, to Mad Max Fury Road. Some of it was fun, and some of it was strange. The Mad Max Fury Road homage felt particularly out of place with the trafficking ring, and biker gang vibes not matching the rest of the more whimsical tone of the film. It feels like they needed to do one or two more passes on the script to perfect it. Ruthye and Kara’s relationship felt a little undeveloped; I could see the parallels, but I don’t think they really learned from each other. Lobo didn’t need to be there at all. But it certainly wasn’t the worst superhero film I’ve seen. There’s a pile on that’s a little unwarranted.

Yes, the space scream was great. A single tear left behind. Any one who's done any living has at least a couple of those in them. I got interested in the movie when the haters piled on - even before it was released. The hate smacked of Manosphere knuckle-draggers so I was determined to see for myself. I enjoyed it. Lobo didn't play any significant role but he was fun.
