The characters wake up naked on Earth, go on a rampage, get sent to moon jail, have sex, break outSOMEHOW, then lead a rebellion to escape the prison, I'm with Johnbobb. Inviso you just described the entire plot after saying that there wasn't any- DOES NOT COMPUTE! PrinceKaro posted... and it turns out that Mandy is like, the sister-mom of this big bad whose motivations are kinda generic and stupid I'm not sure if autocorrect or misunderstanding but the female protagonist was nicknamed Pandy because of her eye marking, not Mandy. To me the villain's motivation being generic and stupid was the best part (as I implied in my write-up). She clearly doesn't matter much to Pandy or to the plot to the point that Pandy's inane thoughts actually drown out her diabolical monologue. I was almost in tears at that point laughing! PrinceKaro posted... The end result is a ton of seizure-inducing battle sequences revolving around detestable characters, and nothing of value happens, even though I THINK were supposed to feel as though something DID. Yeah, no. Nope. No way for this movie. A fair assessment. I think the takeaway for this movie is that the protagonists end up in the exact same place they started, implying they are stuck in an endless loop as they have done everything that took place in Dead Leaves before and would inevitably do it again because they had no memory of the previous cycles and death doesn't have much meaning in that dimension. It's totally fair the movie wasn't for everyone, but I enjoyed it for what it was. I suppose I'm more forgiving of crude humor if it actually makes me laugh. Sausage Party is a fantastic example of a complete failure on that front so thank you for mentioning it. --- "If you never spread your wings, how can you know whether or not you are truly meant to fly?" - ME!! <cite>GenesisSaga posted [p:941059232] in Gauntlet C...
