i like to pretend i’m emotionless but i have at least 200 mood swings a day
Okay, but Birds of Prey is a movie about four women traumatized by men teaming up to protect a young girl from abusive men, so she doesn’t have to endure the trauma that they went through.
The climax of the story is literally the four women teaming up to fight off an army of aggressive, violent men (who should be prison but aren’t thanks to the protection of a powerful and wealthy man) who want to harm Cass. There’s literally an extended sequence of the women fighting off the men while passing Cass around to one another (”Who’s got the kid?”), several times ripping her out of the clutches whichever guy has grabbed her.
With that final fight, Cathy Yan and Christina Hodson said “FUCK subtlety”, and I think that’s awesome of them.
IMAGINE SEEING BIRDS OF PREY AND THINK THAT MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD IT'S NOT THE HOTTEST HUMAN EVER AS HUNTRESS. CAN'T RELATE.
Helena being called the crossbow killer has the same vibes as spiderman being called night monkey in Europe.
me consuming fictional work after fictional work to distract myself from the fact that i exist: i can have a little escapism. as a treat.
