Eh, Ju Fufu did it better.
Impressions:
I, uh, guess we’re done with Queen then? Okay then. So we move on to the very, very unfortunately named Loli, where the writing is just as bad, but the scale is significantly reduced so it’s at least not as exasperatingly stupid. Make no mistake though, it’s still immensely stupid with the most absolutely random plot developments that make a summary sound like the ravings of a lunatic. She’s mad about everybody reducing her to a cute face, so she builds an Iron Man suit in her basement. Her first night out, runs into a supposed mugger. A mugger with super speed, a black belt, and intense politeness. Except her dad is a super scientist and is mad at her for building super suits in the basement instead of for his company. So she and her new girlfriend get drunk and declare war on sexism. Then Daft Punk attacks.
So… yeah. Still profoundly idiotic and sure, the fight scene was nicely over the top, but that was like fifty times more evolved than the Teenager’s First Robot should be, especially one built in a basement in secret. This is exactly the kind of thing that Spiderman or Iron Man have their janky, boxy first run at a costume before the iconic real suit comes later, and if you’re going to have dad come in and berate her for it being shoddy and poorly constructed, it should’ve actually been that in the fight. As usual, it feels like I’m being gaslit between what they show and what characters actually say and do. I’m not sure how much I feel like a second try at “girl picks direct fight with sexism” is going to work after the godawful first bite at that apple, and I doubt this one is going to fare any better.
