That some dudes spent tens of millions of dollars pissing off fans and whitewaahing a popular franchise bc they wanted to see Scarjo in a nude catsuit?
People are apparently loving this trailer but it looks, ironically, soulless to me. Pretty but sterile visuals and Scarjo uncharismatic and wooden acting. Maybe the trailer doesn’t do the movie justice…
Anyway, you guys should watch The Nerdwriter’s excellent essay on the original:
I really like Ghost in the shell, especially Stand Alone Complex, is a great, smart anime...I watched the trailer and saw nothing about that allegoric context. Plus the white leading lady problem.
how dare u people! scarjo isn't white, she's half-wood.!
but srsly, "Lesbian kiss"? apparently it's Go Big or Go Home in the Fuck-Up department for these guys. but anything to get the white man salivating i guess
i mean i'm always here for new people learning about the amazing that is depeche mode. it looks kind of awesome visuaully (but that's bc i loved the matrix and i've learned from you awesome smart people (genuine compliment btw, not sass) that this was a big influence to that, so this came first)....i won't see it in the theatre but i will happily watch a hq rip online
i haven't. i'm not always very patient with animated films, esp just streaming on my laptop...or really watching anything on my laptop. too much opportunity for distraction
I actually liked the series [ghost in the shell: stand alone complex] better than the movie. I liked the dub a lot. I still need to watch the second season, tho.
WHY.

glorious.
This soulless version is an injustice.
nah
Horrible special effects ✔️
Cheesy acting/bad dialogue ✔️
Lesbian kiss ✔️
Corny rock 'n roll remake of untouchable classic song ✔️
yep definitely looks shitty and targeted to people I wouldn't be friends with irl
Came here to post about this. Like, what can we do to make this MORE offensive to the senses?
No.
