Sucker Punch is the latest movie from Zach Snyder.

0:00:07.082,0:00:11.178
I'm not even gonna bore you with what the movie's about because there really is no cohesive plot.

0:00:11.178,0:00:16.417
And in case there was any question there is nothing even remotely empowering to women about this film.

0:00:16.417,0:00:21.272
Infantalizing women with pigtails and mini skirts and cutsey little names like "Sweet Pea" and

0:00:21.272,0:00:25.443
"Baby Doll"... That's not empowerment, even if they are armed to the teeth.

0:00:25.443,0:00:29.977
Snyder is nothing but a parasite trying to leech off the gains of feminism to satisfy his own

0:00:29.977,0:00:35.410
personal, pornographic, adolescent boy fantasy, which just serves as another example

0:00:35.410,0:00:37.673
of the male driven backlash against women.

0:00:37.673,0:00:40.240
Who are you kidding? We're not fooled by this.

0:00:40.240,0:00:45.813
But this movie couldn't have been made without a major studio backing it, yes I'm looking at you Warner Brothers.

0:00:45.813,0:00:50.070
I can just picture the Warner executives in their boardroom meeting being like,

0:00:50.070,0:00:54.915
"Ya this is awesome, we can have it both ways, we can fulfill the desires of the 15 year old boy market

0:00:54.915,0:01:00.881
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!"

0:01:03.034,0:01:07.408
I got news for you Warner Brothers, we women, we're not that stupid!

0:01:07.408,0:01:12.277
Incidentally, Warner Brothers is also the company who is attempting to white-wash Akira by

0:01:12.277,0:01:15.163
casting white actors in the role of Asian characters.

0:01:15.163,0:01:22.083
Hollywood, you need to get over the simplistic notion that "sexy chicks doing dude stuff" is somehow empowering.

0:01:22.083,0:01:28.166
Taking scantily-clad, sexploitation style women and squeezing them into the mold of the

0:01:28.166,0:01:31.814
male action hero does not make a strong female character.

0:01:31.814,0:01:36.437
That is simply the men who run Hollywood trying to redefine what a strong female character is

0:01:36.437,0:01:40.241
and repackage it in a way that is pleasing for male adolescent viewers.

0:01:40.241,0:01:43.511
...oh yeah and also make a shit ton of money.

0:01:43.511,0:01:47.882
Usually in my videos I try to be fairly nuanced about my criticisms of pop culture

0:01:47.882,0:01:51.061
but this movie, doesn't have any nuance.

0:01:51.061,0:01:57.376
Sucker Punch is nothing more than a steaming pile of maggot-filled, festering, misogynist crap

0:01:57.376,0:01:59.978
trying to masquerade as female empowerment.

0:01:59.978,0:02:05.468
Ya, that, uh, that pretty much sums it up.
