Like almost obnoxiously racist. The Middle Eastern characters were over the top in their zest for violence, and the only *named* Middle Eastern character was an oil baron. Two generations of Latino men treating their sons poorly. The Black characters? One sassy HR woman and one homeless old guy. The "Mayan" character played by an Indian in a dreadlock wig. I mean they didn't even spare the whites, with a seemingly out of nowhere anti-Irish barb lol.

Beyond the racism, I thought the movie was wayyy too long and the pacing uneven. I thought the cgi was pretty cheesy, and the Cheetah character was some kind of furry nightmare. (I honestly thought that cat character was originally black, but after googling it I realized I was thinking of Vixen, a different character that I gotta admit also grinds my gears.)

The story itself was dumb. Just dumb. Pedro's Trump character ultimate goal was...more I guess? More power, more money, what exactly was he looking for? *shrug* Diana hasn't seen her family in 70 years, and she was so focused on the dick that she didn't spare half a thought towards them? I think there was the building blocks for a better story hidden there, but the one they delivered was meandering and lacked focus.

I loved the first one and for this one to be so terrible was a disappointment. I know sequels are hard, but this feels worse than usual imo.

Three bright spots for me.
-Trevor the Himbo pilot's enjoyment of the new world.
-Diana killing it in the 80s fashion.
-Seeing various DMV shots reminding me how much I miss and love the area.

I am so glad they released this on HBO, cause if I would have spent money to see it in the theater I would have been pissed.
