    Sorry but this is silly. It’s like someone saying, “Well the bad guy in XYZ movie was a nazi which is problematic, therefore the movie is.” Like, what?

    The presence of problematic ideas is not in itself an issue. In almost any instance that Fio is objectified it’s immediately shown that it’s a flawed perspective of the characters doing it, which goes for Gina too (though she’s a badass and knows how to use it to work the people dishing it out to her). The movie’s voice doesnt endorse any of it, and if anything rejects those things outright any time they’re brought up.

    Is media literacy even a thing anymore?















  • No no no. No one should ever watch the remakes. The OG show and End of Eva movie, while not perfect, are an extraordinary and focused (again, with a few exceptions and missteps along the way) artistic expression from a soul in pain trying to understand and work through their traumas, the kind of exercise that some of the best art comes from.

    The remakes are nonsensical meta garbage about Anno (the artist in question) trying to leave behind this behemoth IP empire that he accidentally created and desperately wants to be free of, to the point that he couldn’t even finish the damn things himself.

    While I appreciate the sentiment, I truly regret the time I spent watching the remakes.
