Sucker Punch is the latest movie from Zach Snyder.

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:34.570 --> 00:00:37.773
of the male driven backlash against women.

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:00.881 --> 00:01:03.034
and women will love it!"

00:01:03.034 --> 00:01:07.439
I got news for you Warner Brothers, we women, we're not that stupid!

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.543
Incidentally, Warner Brothers is also the company who is attempting to white-wash Akira by

00:01:11.543 --> 00:01:15.080
casting white actors in the role of Asian characters.

00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:21.938
Hollywood, you need to get over the simplistic notion that "sexy chicks doing dude stuff" is somehow empowering.

00:01:21.938 --> 00:01:27.777
Taking scantily-clad, sexploitation style women and squeezing them into the mold of the

00:01:27.777 --> 00:01:31.347
male action hero does not make a strong female character.

00:01:31.347 --> 00:01:36.136
That is simply the men who run Hollywood trying to redefine what a strong female character is

00:01:36.136 --> 00:01:40.307
and repackage it in a way that is pleasing for male adolescent viewers.

00:01:40.307 --> 00:01:43.444
...oh yeah and also make a shit ton of money.

00:01:43.444 --> 00:01:47.281
Usually in my videos I try to be fairly nuanced about my criticisms of pop culture

00:01:47.281 --> 00:01:50.602
but this movie, doesn't have any nuance.

00:01:50.602 --> 00:01:57.542
Sucker Punch is nothing more than a steaming pile of maggot-filled, festering, misogynist crap

00:01:57.542 --> 00:02:00.379
trying to masquerade as female empowerment.

00:02:01.533 --> 00:02:04.767
Ya, that, uh, that pretty much sums it up.
