The live action GitS? It was aight, but could've been better. As a huge fan of the story I wasn't that upset. I just didn't like what they did with Major (made her weak), and also didn't like that Section 9 was getting cucked, no one cucks section 9
The casting for the Major was just horrifying. She's supposed to look strong, capable, and no-nonsense at first glance, then you look again and realize her robot form is also conventionally attractive. In the 2017 movie, they flipped it around, entirely backwards. Obviously, your first impression of Scarlett Johansson is that she's attractive and feminine. Then you have to look closer and realize she's capable of fighting.
That works for Black Widow. That's exactly what you want for Black Widow. It's not what you want for Motoko Kusanagi.
yeah personally i was hoping they'd give the role to margo martindale
You mean award winner and highly acclaimed Character Actress Margo Martindale?
