*I just love when superhero movies talk about politics and ethics whitin their own universe*.

*The Flanderization of a Cult Classic.* There is a bigger talk about if this film is the format to have talks surrounding consumerism, fast fashion, fashions trends, ai and the lost art of physical media. It doesn't have to be but the lack of it feels hollow. The first film made the fashion industry palpable and accesible to the masses, it was a perspective that made fashion serious and important. This film is heavily focused on nostalgia and corny references that made my eyes roll enough times, the writting felt forced, un-organic and it's a reminder that films don't want to make the public hear "big words" or think about complex subjects anymore. Why is Andy obnoxiously quirky? Is Miranda is the type of person to externalize her feelings like that? Is Nigel really necessary in this film? The costume aspect was fine at first but it became too glam near the end, which really resumed what my problem with this film was. Right now the fashion industry is innovative; organic materials never used before, potato jewelry, bold layering and political artistic statements, all just a glimpse of concepts that make fashion a powerhouse in our current era. I appreciated the cameo of Wisdom Kaye, Lady Gaga, Winnie Harlow and the role of Caleb Heron as well as Simone's character. It could be the only good thing on this. Also no romantic chemistry is the new trend, and BJ Novak is a bad actor, stop inserting him.
