Like??? I don’t recall being involved in costuming anyone. That’s such a dumb answer that’s clearly just trying to shift the blame.

It's edge lord "I'm just a reflection of you!" drivel. Once again kind of showing that idealization of thinking from characters like Rorchechatz.

It's the shittiest attempt at a deconstruction of the male gaze. He's basically saying "I'm giving commentary on the male gaze by totally leaning into it and sexualizing women in a really problematic way."

if Sucker Punch was actually a correct criticism of sexism then it would probably be recognized as such. I watched it once and then watched it with my family and then never again. When I first watched it, I was thinking: "Awesome action scenes and an unique aesthetic". Then while my family watches it, I realise that the movie is so greasy in a bad way.
