My favourite recruitment is in Dragon Age, actually. Zev fails to kill you and languishes artfully on the ground as he tells Warden he's too sexy to die and the Warden agrees. No other meet cute compares.

“Let’s start with the biggest complaint towards the movie: that it’s misogynist and objectifying, thus it’s sexist. Sucker Punch is none of those things. In fact, it’s a commentary on sexism in geek culture before the commentary on sexism in geek culture even started. The film focuses on Babydoll (Emily Browning) who gets sent to a mental asylum after attempting to kill her abusive stepfather in self-defense. She’s set to get a lobotomy in a week and as a response to her mental trauma, she retreats to an alternate reality where she teams up with four other female inmates—Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), Rocket (Jena Malone), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), Amber (Jamie Chung)—and they go on a series of fantastical missions to plot their escape from the asylum. The first layer of reality is the asylum while the alternate reality acts as a brothel where Babydoll and her fellow inmates are now dancers. Sounds like a video game, right? Scott Mendelson of Forbes pointed out that the film was ahead of its time regarding current GamerGate culture and it’s true: ‘Years before GamerGate brought institutional sexism in video game and geek culture into the spotlight, [Director Zack] Snyder and [producer Deborah] Snyder released a major studio film that argued 'Yes, geek culture is sexist as heck, but it is merely a symptom of an overall culture that values women as sexual objects for male titillation above all else.’ The men in Sucker Punch view women as objects… The clients of the brothel come to watch girls dance so they can choose who they want to have sex with and Babydoll catches the attention of all of them. Her dance is just so sexy and so alluring that everyone stops to stare. Wouldn’t you want to see that dance too? Too bad, because you never do. An actual complaint of the film is that we never get to see Babydoll dance—yes, Mack Rawden of CinemaBlend, I’m talking about you and your critique that was laced with casual sexism: 'Every time she dances, the PG-13 strip club melts away for an elaborate video game world where her and four friends battle hideous people, creatures and robots,’ and 'Might as well give viewers more allusions to slutty stripping without ever showing it,’ also, 'There’s no actual dancing in Sucker Punch, just as there’s no point, purpose or direction.’ The fact that we never see Babydoll dance is the exact point that the movie is trying to make. Horny old men want to ogle her while she has to find a way to mentally escape in order to cope with the fact that she’s being forced to dance for them. She escapes through her missions, all of her anger towards her situation is brought out through hyper-violence. That’s exactly why the girls’ dance instructor Madame Gorski (Carla Gugino) tells the audience that her performances are raw. She’s fighting for her freedom. The dances are metaphors for what’s happening in reality. Roleplay is something that Madame Gorski strongly encourages and it’s a major theme throughout the movie. It’s a coping mechanism that even extends into the girls’ video game-like missions: their objectives are based in a fantasy world and they have to find certain items in order to complete the mission and achieve freedom. Babydoll’s existence is a form of roleplay for Sweet Pea. The message is so heavy-handed that I don’t understand when people say the plot was thin.”

i think it’s very important for writers to boast about their writing actually. not only because we at times tend to be a little too harshly unfair on ourselves, but you made something you’re genuinely proud of???? SO BE PROUD!!!! it’s ok
