RE: A Look at Darling in the FranXX Episode 2
Ghost in the Shell has its problems, like treating the plot as secondary. But Oshii is such a good director that he makes up for his disregard of the plot with theme exploration, like transhumanism, and clear imagery and symbolism. It’s difficult to make criticisms of it even though the flaws should be so obvious.
Yeah you're right. It was a spectacular film, but it would have had a 13 hour run time if they gave the plot justice and explored a little more
:)
They also would have had to have called it "Stand Alone Complex".
