Haven't watch it proper. but did watch Mauler's stream yesterday..
I think, there is a mix of ideas and execution here. like they repeated came up to the idea, that the movie would often try presenting an idea, and.. the audience was left confused. example being, like, why exactly did WW "cheat"? was it because she missed a target, or because she slid down the gully? if it was she cut the course, the movie did a piss poor job of establishing what the course was, and what the rules were. like pod racing, was jumping off the ramps cheating? was ramming other racers cheating? no. if the announcer didn't expressly there were no rules, then the language of the movie made it pretty clear, its all fair.
80's movie versus today. if they were trying to make it feel like an 80's movie, they failed badly, and thats a major problem.
A robber drops a gun in a 1980's mall, and incite a panic. yeah. no. Dropping a revolver in a mall in 1980 would result in maybe a gasp, and then shuffling away at best.
Can watch like Commando, does this FEEL the same? I'd say this WAS what they were trying to recreate. but failed at it badly.
the FX of her just gliding around all the time is also a major problem. Just constantly floating on the lasso, as her movement does not match the height, or direction shes going.
Modern audiences might be too young. A possible reason why the whole 80's idea was dead on arrival. Again, the efap guys, were constantly bringing up things like inconsistent powers, Wigg being a "NERD!!!!!", cause she wears glasses. and her comical entrance. But I could only wonder if these guys remembered Otis's introduction in Superman,
or inconsistant powers. ffs did they watch Superman 1 and 2? memory erasing kiss, rewinding time by flying around the planet,... this shit..https://youtu.be/XiN0Lwvi7CA
