00:00:04,505 --> 00:00:06,907
Sucker Punch is the latest movie from Zach Snyder.

2
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.

3
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.

4
00:00:16,334 --> 00:00:21,060
Infantalizing women with pigtails and mini skirts and cutsey little names like "Sweet Pea" and

5
00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:25,944
"Baby Doll"... That's not empowerment, even if they are armed to the teeth.

6
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

7
00:00:30,382 --> 00:00:34,570
personal, pornographic, adolescent boy fantasy, which just serves as another example

8
00:00:34,570 --> 00:00:37,773
of the male driven backlash against women.

9
00:00:37,773 --> 00:00:40,147
Who are you kidding? We're not fooled by this.

10
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.

11
00:00:45,715 --> 00:00:49,570
I can just picture the Warner executives in their boardroom meeting being like,

12
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

13
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

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

15
00:01:03,034 --> 00:01:07,439
I got news for you Warner Brothers, we women, we're not that stupid!

16
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:11,543
Incidentally, Warner Brothers is also the company who is attempting to white-wash Akira by

17
00:01:11,543 --> 00:01:15,080
casting white actors in the role of Asian characters.

18
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.

19
00:01:21,938 --> 00:01:27,777
Taking scantily-clad, sexploitation style women and squeezing them into the mold of the

20
00:01:27,777 --> 00:01:31,347
male action hero does not make a strong female character.

21
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

22
00:01:36,136 --> 00:01:40,307
and repackage it in a way that is pleasing for male adolescent viewers.

23
00:01:40,307 --> 00:01:43,444
...oh yeah and also make a shit ton of money.

24
00:01:43,444 --> 00:01:47,281
Usually in my videos I try to be fairly nuanced about my criticisms of pop culture

25
00:01:47,281 --> 00:01:50,602
but this movie, doesn't have any nuance.

26
00:01:50,602 --> 00:01:57,542
Sucker Punch is nothing more than a steaming pile of maggot-filled, festering, misogynist crap

27
00:01:57,542 --> 00:02:00,379
trying to masquerade as female empowerment.

28
00:02:01,533 --> 00:02:04,767
Ya, that, uh, that pretty much sums it up.
