Yeah, Sucker Punch is definitely problematic to say the least. A lot of people said it tried to do girl power and ended up just being a neckbeard fantasy, and I can’t earnestly argue against that. That being said it was visually fun, the fantasy/reality dichitomy and “what’s actually real?” was interesting even if not perfectly executed, and what the hell, I was a nerdy gay teenager when I first watched it so of course I was gonna enjoy steampunk schoolgirl ninjas kicking ass.
