Sucker Punch is the latest movie from Zach Snyder.

0:00:06.907,0:00:11.211
I'm not even gonna bore you with what the movie's about because there really is no cohesive plot.

0:00:11.211,0:00:16.334
And in case there was any question there is nothing even remotely empowering to women about this film.

0:00:16.334,0:00:21.060
Infantalizing women with pigtails and mini skirts and cutsey little names like "Sweet Pea" and

0:00:21.060,0:00:25.944
"Baby Doll"... That's not empowerment, even if they are armed to the teeth.

0:00:25.944,0:00:30.382
Snyder is nothing but a parasite trying to leech of the gains of feminism to satisfy his own

0:00:30.382,0:00:34.570
personal, pornographic, adolescent boy fantasy, which just serves as another example

0:00:34.570,0:00:37.773
of the male driven backlash against women.

0:00:37.773,0:00:40.147
Who are you kidding? We're not fooled by this.

0:00:40.147,0:00:45.715
But this movie couldn't have been made without a major studio backing it, yes I'm looking at you Warner Brothers.

0:00:45.715,0:00:49.570
I can just picture the Warner executives in their boardroom meeting being like,

0:00:49.570,0:00:54.775
"Ya this is awesome, we can have it both ways, we can fulfill the desires of the 15 year old boy market

0:00:54.775,0:01:00.881
by having semi naked chicks and action, and then we can make the girls sword wielding and ass-kicking

0:01:00.881,0:01:03.034
and women will love it!"

0:01:03.034,0:01:07.439
I got news for you Warner Brothers, we women, we're not that stupid!

0:01:07.439,0:01:11.543
Incidentally, Warner Brothers is also the company who is attempting to white-wash Akira by

0:01:11.543,0:01:15.080
casting white actors in the role of Asian characters.

0:01:15.080,0:01:21.938
Hollywood, you need to get over the simplistic notion that "sexy chicks doing dude stuff" is somehow empowering.

0:01:21.938,0:01:27.777
Taking scantily-clad, sexploitation style women and squeezing them into the mold of the

0:01:27.777,0:01:31.347
male action hero does not make a strong female character.

0:01:31.347,0:01:36.136
That is simply the men who run Hollywood trying to redefine what a strong female character is

0:01:36.136,0:01:40.307
and repackage it in a way that is pleasing for male adolescent viewers.

0:01:40.307,0:01:43.444
...oh yeah and also make a shit ton of money.

0:01:43.444,0:01:47.281
Usually in my videos I try to be fairly nuanced about my criticisms of pop culture

0:01:47.281,0:01:50.602
but this movie, doesn't have any nuance.

0:01:50.602,0:01:57.542
Sucker Punch is nothing more than a steaming pile of maggot-filled, festering, misogynist crap

0:01:57.542,0:02:00.379
trying to masquerade as female empowerment.

0:02:01.533,0:02:04.767
Ya, that, uh, that pretty much sums it up.
