A new Supergirl deleted scene has surfaced online, leaving fans wondering why it was cut from the theatrical version. The exclusive Fandango footage shows Ruthye Mary Knoll spending her time at home with her family before her life turns upside down.
The scene opens with Ruthye feeding her mysterious pet companion and trying to ride it, which she ultimately fails. Her brother joins in, and the two play-fight until their mother interrupts them. They go inside for dinner, where Ruthye and her parents discuss her future before the dangerous Krem and his Brigands arrive and kill her family.
The scene sets the story for Ruthye, where she seeks revenge on Krem for killing her family. Many believe that the film gave no context about who her family is and why her father matters so much to the story that follows.
What are DCU fans saying about the deleted Supergirl scene?
DCU fans have responded positively to the deleted scene, saying it should never have been removed from the original version.
One user on X, @dimasiteee, replied, “I honestly wish they had kept this scene. It gives Ruthye a little more emotional depth and makes her introduction feel more complete.” Another fan, @AustinBoyk61308, reacted, “This is bad, why did they delete such a beautiful scene.”
Most of the reactions point to setting up the emotional background that the film originally missed. The dinner discussion and Ruthye’s family moments add a lot more weight, while the theatrical version just showed her family’s killings as past moments.
Supergirl had a disastrous theatrical run at the global box office, amassing a total of $71 million domestically. While the overall budget of the film is around $170 million, it managed to earn $124 million worldwide. Apart from that, it holds an aggregate score of 53% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 362 reviews.
