If more comics get direct film adaptations like Supergirl, should the comics that are being adapted be much shorter in length or not necessarily?

What I mean is that the *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* comic is an 8-issue miniseries and the plot specifically takes place over a period of several months, and I can see how adapting it as, say, a TV miniseries could allow for more time to flesh the story out further.

The *Supergirl* movie that it’s adapted from though takes place over the course of 3 days, and while the film that we got wasn’t terrible (IMO at least) it definitely could have been better in some ways had there been more time to flesh out the story/characters. That’s not to say that it’s impossible to adapt that story as a film (with the right tweaks of course) but it leads to the question of whether a specific comic miniseries that runs longer than 4 or 5 issues (and spans a longer amount of time) is better suited to a series instead of a film depending on how they’re adapted exactly.

And not every adaptation has to necessarily be 1:1 with the source material; the adaptations should also be used to draw more people to the comics themselves and see what those adaptations drew from as well as what did or didn’t get adapted specifically.

But what are everyone else’s thoughts on this?
