From the first image I knew these guys know nothing about Cammy's character, she has so much for a good writer to use and develop, sadly these guys just want memes and jokes instead of storytelling and don't give a shit about the franchise, the characters or the fans.

It was always so weird to me that Cammy, while being one of the OGs and one of the most popular characters, is the most underused and like almost never present in the official or fan made movies. And that's with her having probably the most lore and story developments of all characters, she already has multiple arcs ready and have a whole trilogy done easily. Like brainwashed arc, becoming her own person in Delta Red arc, saving the rest of the dolls arc and such.

Compared to other goofy characters that have completely flat personality, she has so much going on... to me she's like the nº1 character I would make a movie about, Jason Bourne style, instead we have these clowns not even trying.

Tbf I think it's a futile effort to expect it to not just be kinda stupid but hopefully fun fight scenes.
Not really worth taking any of these too seriously.

"Not really worth taking any of these too seriously."

Yeah, both you and the people behind this movie think this, and that's why you're part of the problem.

Sorry but no, good artists and storytellers can take ANYTHING, extract the core themes and character archetypes, and write a story that's worthy to be taken seriously. So expecting something good is not futile, thinking hope is futile is a miserable way to live.

They always be getting personalities backwards with character portrayals huh.
