brightly-colored futures no matter how dystopian the government. \u00a0Art and culture and music and fashion and <i>joy<\/i>\u00a0as a sub plot, with aliens that are eight flavors of weird but recognizably human, with the same kind of love and dedication and all new kinds of beauty to discover. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Technology that is both breathtakingly futuristic and endlessly recognizable, that fails in a recognizable way. \u00a0Bureaucracy without Kafka.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angry action heroes who claim to have no fucks and no skills, secretly filled with care and kindness and ambition and cleverness and talent, who break out of their stock-still inertia to help a beautiful stranger save the world.<\/p>\n<p>A gorgeous woman, surprisingly less sexualized than you\u2019d think for all the nudity, smarter and kinder and faster and gentler and <i>better<\/i>\u00a0than everyone else in the movie.<\/p>\n<p>The pinnacle of masculinity being a fast-talking black man who covers himself in elaborate hairstyles and beautiful flowers and extreme outfits, clearly cultured and an unquestionable good-guy despite all the queer coding, someone who loves his job and dedicates himself to it entirely, who has friends and who doesn\u2019t put on a fake persona on the air.<\/p>\n<p>The funny bits are <i>funny<\/i>, not gallows humor but delightful giggly silly <i>funny<\/i>\u00a0and quotable, endlessly, in contexts that are not at all grim. And the dramatic bits are glorious. \u00a0And the good guys <i>win<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I loved Jupiter Ascending. \u00a0This is why I adore Pacific Rim. \u00a0This is why I stan for comic books that\u2019ve forgotten about <i>Watchmen. \u00a0<\/i>This is the definition of <i>formatlive<\/i>, y\u2019all. \u00a0If you don\u2019t understand this movie, you don\u2019t understand me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>knitmeapony: boazpriestly: brusewillis: Do you have a shorter name? #when action movie heroes look at the badass leading ladies with heart eyes#this is my aesthetic This was the beginning for me This was the first time I realized I had an aesthetic, before I knew what the word meant.
