00:00:04,899 --> 00:00:07,082
Sucker Punch is the latest movie from Zach Snyder.

2
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.

3
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.

4
00:00:16,417 --> 00:00:21,272
Infantalizing women with pigtails and mini skirts and cutsey little names like "Sweet Pea" and

5
00:00:21,272 --> 00:00:25,443
"Baby Doll"... That's not empowerment, even if they are armed to the teeth.

6
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

7
00:00:29,977 --> 00:00:35,410
personal, pornographic, adolescent boy fantasy, which just serves as another example

8
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:37,673
of the male driven backlash against women.

9
00:00:37,673 --> 00:00:40,240
Who are you kidding? We're not fooled by this.

10
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.

11
00:00:45,813 --> 00:00:50,070
I can just picture the Warner executives in their boardroom meeting being like,

12
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

13
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

14
00:01:00,881 --> 00:01:03,034
and women will love it!"

15
00:01:03,034 --> 00:01:07,408
I got news for you Warner Brothers, we women, we're not that stupid!

16
00:01:07,408 --> 00:01:12,277
Incidentally, Warner Brothers is also the company who is attempting to white-wash Akira by

17
00:01:12,277 --> 00:01:15,163
casting white actors in the role of Asian characters.

18
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.

19
00:01:22,083 --> 00:01:28,166
Taking scantily-clad, sexploitation style women and squeezing them into the mold of the

20
00:01:28,166 --> 00:01:31,814
male action hero does not make a strong female character.

21
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

22
00:01:36,437 --> 00:01:40,241
and repackage it in a way that is pleasing for male adolescent viewers.

23
00:01:40,241 --> 00:01:43,511
...oh yeah and also make a shit ton of money.

24
00:01:43,511 --> 00:01:47,882
Usually in my videos I try to be fairly nuanced about my criticisms of pop culture

25
00:01:47,882 --> 00:01:51,061
but this movie, doesn't have any nuance.

26
00:01:51,061 --> 00:01:57,376
Sucker Punch is nothing more than a steaming pile of maggot-filled, festering, misogynist crap

27
00:01:57,376 --> 00:01:59,978
trying to masquerade as female empowerment.

28
00:01:59,978 --> 00:02:05,468
Ya, that, uh, that pretty much sums it up.
