Not my usual thing, and normative af, but the pacing and imagery were good, characters distinct and punchy, never felt lost, and I cared about the plot all the way to the end, so it did something right.
I want to say I didn't like it, because of what that would say about me, but I actually did enjoy it, despite myself. :)
@BEZORP@books.theunseen.city Oh, I relate to that last sentence all too well! Good on you for being self-aware enough to notice and being humble/brave enough to share
@optional@buecher.pnpde.social Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. When it come to media, I think many of us (especially middle-aged people like myself) have a lot of misplaced nostalgia for certain genres / tropes. It's so easy to assimilate these kind of "scripts" without hardly any mental effort.
Anyway, like you said, the very least you can do if you still enjoy this kind of problematic stuff, is at least be aware of what's happening, and not just swallow the ideology uncritically.
