woke culture surrounding a certain kind of masculinity?

Is it trying to have its cake and eat it too?

Like it seems a little bit undefined.

You're tapping into something very raw in my history.

But that is what it is.

But think about who's making this movie.

Travis Knight, who is the son of Phil Knight, the founder of Nike, whose father bought him an animation studio, which he transformed from Will Vinton Studios that he transformed into Laika, which then by his own skill and team leadership truly turned into one of the very best animation studios in the world.

He individually, he directed films that are great animated films.

He's made live action movies that are good.

So even though he is to the manner born, he is talented.

It's very clear that he is talented.

Yeah.

It's actually not a very fun movie, I think, to talk about scene by scene.

I think it actually is way more of a load-bearing idea movie, which sounds ridiculous about Masters of the Universe.

But it is true.

There's way more going on.

Like, you and I can talk about, like, was the air chase sequence with Adam and Teela and a hungover man-at-arms, like, too long?

Or was it effective or not?

Like, that stuff is just kind of like... Who cares?

It's just in the stew of an action movie, you know?
