You're all wrong about Sucker Punch (Wallpapers)

... You ... might not be wrong.

I unapologetically love this move. I recognize that it's stupid on a lot of levels, and it definitely feels like there should have been someone standing by Snyder going "What?! What even ... why are you ... ?"

I didn't ... recognize? I guess? That it was exploitative and stuff. All I saw was the adventure and the badass quasi-anime action.

I've always wanted to see anime brought to life - not any particular anime, and I was happy he came up with his own world rather than remaking a beloved anime badly. *cough*gits*hack*

The ladies were trying to take the power over their lives away from the (mostly) men who had taken their power and were abusing them.

That's what I saw when I watched that movie, and what I still see. I kind of have to make the mental equivalent of changing the zoom of a telescope in order to see the problems with this movie.

I think the action squad were all gorgeous, their outfits well made and on point - but this movie does not turn me on, not even a little.

I find the movie heartbreaking, and for all it's flaws, I tear up at the end more times than not.

Zach Snyder has made some mis-steps. This movie is not his worst mis-step.

And in a world of things like Genshin Impact and some of the anime that's super popular, I can't bring myself to condem Sucker Punch.

Cheers!
