- aikah 11y agoSatire requires some kind of political statement or social criticism. Kung fury isn't a satire.
- yellowapple 11y agoOne could argue it's a social criticism of 80's exploitation films and Michael Bay movies.
- aikah 11y ago> Michael Bay movies. which are also social criticism themselves ... a social criticism of a social criticism ? now everything looks like post-modernism lol... Seriously, there is no social criticism here, just tropes of 80's movies.
- shmerl 11y agoI don't see satire as necessarily being socially or politically driven. It can for example be directed at art itself (which it is here).
