A missed opportunity I saw in Detective Pikachu is how the pokémon talk. I’m sure that everyone is aware of how in the movie and anime, the majority of Pokémon just say/screech/bark/hiss their names. Frankly, I’d say that’s just artistic license done for the show.  In actuality, the voices of pokémon are not that much different from the incomprehensible noises of real-life animals.

And make no mistake, Helen has the makings of a real feminist heroine: Active, loads of depth, and easy to root for. But if it’s trying to convince the film industry that female leads are worth it, it succeeds by not making a point out of it. It just does it. Often times, a franchise will try to assert the female empowerment in their movies through l
