Any chances for your thoughts about Power Rangers movie, Noah? It’s rather unique, subversive (even if deeply flawed) piece of superhero movie. No, really.
I haven’t seen it! So I don’t have any thoughts…I’ll put it on the list though.
i would strongly recommended that. It’s highly shocking to see the black autistic boy, non-heterosexual latina girl and young (borderline homeless) chinese immigrant to be superheroes in contemporary Hollywood movie. Oh, and only white heterosexual male in the team? He isn’t jerkass (not completely anyway).
And it’s superhero movie, in which bonding and talking to eatch other is way more important than punching villains.
