- @grrlinterrupted it's interesting that the author is Asian but still brings in this stereotype – is it the influence of also being born &… in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted …brought up in the West? One of the reasons I <3 Pacific Rim is that the Asian woman is the hero and it's still… in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted …respectful regarding her cultural/ethnic identity. in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @thelifeof_rose Stallone or Urban? Urban = omg yay, Stallone = uhhh watch it anyway in reply to thelifeof_rose ->
- @grrlinterrupted ALSO right, if the main character is Asian, why is there a white person on the front of the book? in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @kipoti LOOK AT THE XFM SITE omg ->
- @mstorijo The dude has either brought bread or cake. Or he's supposed to engage his brain, depending on context. in reply to mstorijo ->
- @kakapojayne That's not so bad. Admittedly, I'm only 6 years older than her. in reply to kakapojayne ->
- @grrlinterrupted Looking on the author's site, I think they changed the cover (maybe cos of whitewashing? not sure) not too long ago in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted ALSO, reviews suggest to me that the heroine is some kind of katana wielding ninja? in reply to grrlinterrupted ->

- @grrlinterrupted There should have been more ladies (there are more in the GN & rest of the PR universe just not the film) but the ones… in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted …that are there get treated well. Also, characters with visible & non-visible disabilities are heroes in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted ALSO Charlie Hunnam's abs. And there's a cute dog. in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted so it's more like an incidental thing rather than because she's Japanese? in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted In fairness, ALL of the cast are hot. The dog is totally ok throughout. There's a lot of FEELS tho. in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted I'd say it's mostly not-negative, tho I'd like to see an Asian character who didn't go the martial arts route re: fighting in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted I'd say the most FEELS-heavy fic, imo, is from the dog's POV in reply to grrlinterrupted ->

- @grrlinterrupted OR battleaxes are just COOL and look nice on the wall in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted also, the guy who plays his Dad is ok to look at. And the entire whole cast. all of them. ALL OF THEM omg in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted At least we don't have any working guns anymore. Think we got rid of the flintlocks too. Not sure tho… heh in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted There are some tubbier folks early on in the film, tho there is an established rationing thing going on in the world in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted I suspect if we saw more upper class/wealthy ppl, we'd see a wider range of body shapes than the military fit & thin in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
- @grrlinterrupted ANYWAY lookit the PR dog http://t.co/efzVCj9kan 😀 ->
- @Hello_Tailor Why must you tease me with this? I would be excited about watching Sherlock then rather than kind of meh in reply to Hello_Tailor ->

- @newloveletter The highlights will get gif-ed on tumblr tho, you don't actually have to watch the film in reply to newloveletter ->
- @HelenLOHara Yeah, it makes sense. Of course, now I've started to wonder if he sounds more Geordie in the UK press for Pacific Rim. in reply to HelenLOHara ->
