- Its plot involves male space pirates abducting and exploiting young girls, a harsh theme for its audience.
- Such gendered violence themes risk traumatizing viewers instead of offering purely positive female representation.
- Though based on comics, the graphic cinematic portrayal reaches a broader audience, intensifying its impact.
