Sucker Punch is the latest movie from Zach Snyder.

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:35.410 --> 00:00:37.673
of the male driven backlash against women.

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

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

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

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

00:00:54.915 --> 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 --> 00:01:07.408
I got news for you Warner Brothers, we women, we're not that stupid!

00:01:07.408 --> 00:01:12.277
Incidentally, Warner Brothers is also the company who is attempting to white-wash Akira by

00:01:12.277 --> 00:01:15.163
casting white actors in the role of Asian characters.

00:01:15.163 --> 00:01:22.083
Hollywood, you need to get over the simplistic notion that "sexy chicks doing dude stuff" is somehow empowering.

00:01:22.083 --> 00:01:28.166
Taking scantily-clad, sexploitation style women and squeezing them into the mold of the

00:01:28.166 --> 00:01:31.814
male action hero does not make a strong female character.

00:01:31.814 --> 00:01:36.437
That is simply the men who run Hollywood trying to redefine what a strong female character is

00:01:36.437 --> 00:01:40.241
and repackage it in a way that is pleasing for male adolescent viewers.

00:01:40.241 --> 00:01:43.511
...oh yeah and also make a shit ton of money.

00:01:43.511 --> 00:01:47.882
Usually in my videos I try to be fairly nuanced about my criticisms of pop culture

00:01:47.882 --> 00:01:51.061
but this movie, doesn't have any nuance.

00:01:51.061 --> 00:01:57.376
Sucker Punch is nothing more than a steaming pile of maggot-filled, festering, misogynist crap

00:01:57.376 --> 00:01:59.978
trying to masquerade as female empowerment.

00:01:59.978 --> 00:02:05.468
Ya, that, uh, that pretty much sums it up.
