I understand if people don’t like the needle drop moments, everyone has their own tastes and that music might not resonate with everyone, I get it. I personally think that song was a bold choice and genuinely made me giddy with excitement. I have my own opinion of why they chose that cover of The Middle by Jimmy Eat World and I think it was a wonderful choice. The girlies who get it, get it

But to say that the “movie lacked soul” and that you were “not rooting for any of the characters” just makes me think, did we all watch the same movie??????? Lacked soul???

Transmisandry does not exist.

Trans men are not systematically oppressed for being trans men.

They are systematically oppressed for being trans.

Why would a conversation about how trans men aren’t oppressed for being men “mean” anything when it comes to trans women?

Lobo was actually very important to the movie as a foil to Kara in Ruthye's arc. He is not on the same level as them as a protagonist, but he needs to be established as a character early enough to give his presence some weight.

Because the real meat of his presence in the movie is his conversation with Ruthye where she says Krem killed her family for no reason, "for sport", and then Lobo calls that a reason. And then talks about how he kills for money. He's outright enthusiastic about the potential of her becoming a killer herself while Kara doesn't want that for her.

For Kara, no reason, not even revenge, is enough for Ruthye to carry the weight of taking a life, but for Lobo, who views sport or money as good enough of one no matter how superficial, revenge is definitely enough.
