After reading a few hot takes after the last few days, I'm wondering how your backs and muscles feel after all of the stretching?
I am not saying that you're wrong in your opinions, no one is. I'm just wondering what movie some of you watched? Did you watch it and give a live commentary while your sharing your thoughts here before you finish the movie? I'm curious because it feels like many of you saw a different movie entirely than I did.
Naru is far from a John Wick Mary Sue that so many here keep insisting, in my eyes. Did no one see the scenes of her training, and eventually winning the hunt by getting the rabbits after failure a few times. Literally this is character development, but seeing so many say it doesn't count in that instance.
Okay then, what about when she takes on the other tribes member in hand to hand combat while Feral is watching from the trees? She clearly has the upper hand until the other member gets involved and pushes her into a punch. The dude gave up until that moment.
The way she moves throughout the movie sets her up to go on the attack against the trappers. Literally seeing people say they gave up when she started to kill them. I'm wondering where people are finding the issue here, because on text and paper, that looks a bit odd in my eyes. But I'm not accusing anyone of that, just an observation I've had. Is it because she's a woman? Is it because she's a woman of color? Is it because you had unreal expectations going in before the film that weren't met? Could Ridgetop and my initial reactions set some expectations too high, when we ourselves said we need more viewings to solidify the thoughts? Could be so many things.
It's just been quite interesting seeing some very hot takes that I'm not sure how they were formed. Really just trying to understand the multiple view points, but some I just can't align with.
I think some jumped on here too quickly before forming thoughts. And some may need to watch the movie again and not worry about giving commentary.
Just my thoughts! No one is wrong in anything their thinking, but seeing some takes that have raised my eyebrow at times.
