Actually, it's not so much that he has gender issues; Dei really has more plain ol' identity issues, what with the whole being possessed and controlled and subsumed by darkness and all. The thing with the sword doesn't really help much, either, but I haven't written that yet.

He does occasionally get confused with a girl if his hair is down, though, and if he's in a goth mood. Still, he's quite decidedly male, all identity issues aside.

Now stop suggesting someone drop a nuke on my head. It wouldn't do any good, you know. My ideas would just mutate into something horrible and green...with magical, physics defying pants.

Oh yeah, and Sinbad? Oooh, was that shiny. And Brad Pitt was a sexay pirate man and Michelle Pfeiffer was a sexay Evil Goddess and Joeseph Fiennes was sexy strait laced goody two-shoes prince who gives up happiness for the sake of his friend- said friend who promptly deserts him. Gah. Catherine Zeta Jones was decidedly unsexy because she voiced a glaring Mary Sue named, of all things, Marina.

Ugh. I have moral objections to that name.

But it was preeeeety. And Sinbad was preeeeety. And Proteus was preeeeety. And Eris was dead sexy (and I want her hair).

Plot was predictable and the animation had wonky anatomy (they had no spines. and no pelvic bones! None! WHERE ARE THE HIPS?) and some of the CG was just plain bad...also, the love interest was a complete Rinoa, with a 'rebellious' haircut, and therefore utterly annoying and despicable. She had good banter, though.

The banter was good. The ass shot was good (you never get ass shots in Disney- why I love Dreamworks). The pirates were wonderful. The fight scene in the beginning was seventeen degrees of spiff. Eris' hair was the source of all Evil. Mmm, evil.

We were the only ones in the theatre. Whee!

"I told you it was flat!"
