Hahaha, man, I want to see it again! Irk, that sucks. Yeah, Dani and I both loved it, though I was very emotional at the end. I didn't say anything until we got to the car, and when she asked, all I said was 'it's like Moonchild all over again!'.
The thing is...even with the sexy outfits, I don't see it as blatant sexualization. The skimpy dancehall/brothel clothes, yes, but those are what they have to wear and the body language of all the girls clearly shows they are uncomfortable and the sexualization is coming from the male characters. Not the audience. And in the dreamworld, the skimpy outfits are embraced and worn with pride, showing how the girls are taking charge of their sexuality. Yes, it was hot, but it wasn't just for audience eye candy!
And I hear a lot of people complaining about how Baby's pigtails were infantilizing her. I saw it as a symbol for childlike innocence and idealism, which I sort of thought Baby was supposed to represent....
And to combine the two convos we're having across LJ....um, yeah, I'm missing the failtastic four so hard it hurts.
